- What is your character name in New World: Kadinar
- What server/world did you experience your issue on: Folkvangr
- Describe the issue you are experiencing: Covenant (dominant faction) and Syndicate players conspired to allow for players who didn’t like losing in war to change faction to Covenant by losing enough territories to temporarily make Covenant not the dominant faction. Once the players changed faction, Covenant has then taken nearly the entire map. This has negatively impacted the balance of play on Folkvangr.
- Is this a bug or an exploit: Exploit. Are players seriously going to be allowed to throw off server balance like this?
yes i love this game but this is my main server and i can’t play the game because theirs’s entire company’s like govenment on the server which own everfall in the picture are the heads of the exploit trade in ever war outpost rush anything to do with pvp and now they have let then do it for a month (only banning leader on company not entire exploiting community on the server they should banne the entire company not jus the lader and the people should not be able to make guilds only join guilds) now so all the pvp glitch nurds are transfusing thir and the server is now UNPLAYIABLE
Thank you for putting this on your tracker. Covenant has now picked up the last remaining zone. Please put something in place to fix this kind of degenerate gameplay.

this is not an exploit. this is server politics. it’s by design.
- Fixed a bug where some crowded combat situations would lead to players appearing to be frozen and other state could not be conveyed to a user due to excessive bandwidth consumption.
so the entire yellows faction abbused this to claim the entire server in 24 hours us we need a full company reset and territory reset because the server is gone and UNPLAYIABLE AND U NEEDS TO LOOK AT ALL THE COMPANY ABUSERS ON THIS SERVER AND A REPORT IN GAME SHOULD BE ENOUGH I SOULDEN’T HAVE TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU WEN U CAN CLEARLEY SEE ALL THE REPORT TO CERTIAN COMPANYS this has been happening since the last patch
It’s dozens players and multiple companies and the companies keep changing names, so I have no idea who they are in relation to who they were originally. I doubt anyone could figure out a way to penalize them for their actions. What I want is for AGS to put forth changes that don’t allow this kind of play to affect an entire server, because if you don’t, you’re going to lose your PvE players who feel needlessly penalized by the actions of other players.
@smoke This goes beyond server politics. This isn’t simply one faction agreeing to let the other faction take control of an area. This is a group of players who didn’t like losing in war, so they colluded with players of the dominant faction to circumvent the safeguards on faction balance. Now the vast majority of the PvP players on the server are of a single faction and swiftly took over the entire server, while the rest of the server doesn’t have enough players to defend. It is effectively griefing the entire server for the benefit of a single faction. This is not how AGS intended it to be.
looks like someone in charge finally caught up to ligase
company based territory control enables the most dominant collective of 50 players to control the entire server. that’s how it was all through alpha for years and we had the same problem.
politics and alliances led to zero war declarations and zero war attendance.
settlement ownership was dictated by cross faction collusion and alliances and settlements did not change hands. it’s only a matter of time before every server reaches this state. launch was only two months ago. in six months every server will be controlled through politics… not wars.
the alpha companies were wise enough not to have one faction dominate the entire map. if one faction owned the entire map during the alpha, the devs would react. they instead split themselves among two factions and let the weak faction have cutlass keys and first light to make the map look evenly distributed and therefore well balanced.
RENT FREE was a company of two players in alpha that were wealthy enough to declare every war. we declared about 15 wars against the conglomerate and for every war the two of us showed up to fight against 50. the conglomerate always showed up with 50 to defend because they were afraid we’d surprise them by bringing numbers.
it didn’t matter what faction we declared against. the same 50 players from the other two factions showed up to defend against us at every war.
it wasn’t long before they became very frustrated because they would all end up fishing during the wars. they asked the devs to prevent us from declaring.
no one on the server joined us in our wars. they knew that if they supported RENT FREE they would be shunned. a year ago i wrote a giant manifesto about how territory control should be faction based instead of company based.
it was ignored.
this is exactly how they want it.
