Tracking in game bug all the time, broken game realease way before its ready and they are concerned about an overlay map that did the job they didn´t
But Its a third party. most games don’t allow third parties because they can post significant risk, cheating, and easy to edit for others to abuse. also its a new MMO. every one released on its first months has had to deal with just issues as well, and that’s what these developers are fixing on feedback and support. they have a whole list and are working on it.
Is it even possible to add more exploits then there already are to this game? lmao
Honestly the video seens pretty cool.
This kind of minimap its exactly the same UI style of warhammer the reckoning, plus allowing the nodes to be mapped correctly its a must, while amazon map its bugged as heck which not records correctly stuff. As long the minimap never display players and work like wow gather addon, I think its pretty fine.
Amazon you should be thankfull that theres people trying to develop things for you game, if you dont want such addon… hire the guy to implement the client, because he did a pretty good job and such quality life stuff like this its very welcome.
Im not using since they stated they are against TOS, but must say to the guy… pretty good work dude. Wish amazon listen abit… just abit their players.
While such feature enhances the map proposal to what it should be since launch… amazon should be worried to fix the tons of bugs/exploits that is destroying their own game and making the pvp content go down the drain per example, we know that amazon its releasing their 1st game but common… its amazon… we expect the same quality as the brand itself already have (yea I know amazon since start as company and quality its always their goal… when their brand comes to my mind but with NW, they seem to be slacking abit), seeing such pretty weird delay/fixes kinda meh our expectation on such famous brand, because amazon got the tech to host (which its good, despite the ping really not helping alot… while US West Mmorpgs my ping used to be 150-180ms… at NW US West its always above 280ms), plus they got the infinite resources to hire the best devs, I expected something like the same quality as old blizzy considering the amazon history itself (maybe my hopes were too high).
I do believe amazon can improve… but not sure how long it will take… because if things keep going on broken this way… the game hype pop will start to fade before the 3-6 months lifetime as most expected to be.
And honestly… I really dont like games tied with steam.
Sad the game has no minimap. There’s a lot missing atm. Minimap, NPC’s who buy and sell stuff, better tracking of veins and such, end game content (not there yet, but friends told me it’s just grinding which is kinda sad)… Guess it’s still in beta?
Dude what no no? That should be in game since long long time ago, i have the feelings like you making a game and never played it, New World is a mmorpg with most beautifull graphic, but all the rest is most annoing, not comofrtable to play at all.
Unless they set up auto detects and auto ban you which happens in other games. I dont know the set up of the addon so not sure if it or cannot be auto detected. Until Amazon say yes or no you are playing around with getting a ban.
Then why did i work so hard to hit 200 logging in order to track Ironwood, if all i needed was a minimap addon?
This is a long thread, cut I’m curious, what’s the difference between this mod that doesn’t show mob locations, player locations, PvP points, influence trackers, or any actual data except for locations of nodes and other notable things around you, and running one of the browser maps (that the data is pulled from ) on a second monitor like I currently do? I’m not a mods person, but years of gaming experience going back to the original EverQuest, I’ve learned how to orientate myself easily using external maps. So no minimap isn’t a big deal for me, but for younger generation gamers I can understand. I just don’t see how the difference is from my experience as stated, and a minimap. Should I be banned for using map genie on my second monitor? So any use of external information is a banable offense? Apologies if this has been answered.
The problem (and the difference with your external browser map) is that the mod is reading data from the game client in order to show you where you are on that minimap and keep updating it as you move.
If your browser map is also reading data from the game client to show your location (or whatever else dynamicly based on your client), it’s also against the TOS.
Hi guys,
Can you reply to this ? on ESP forum told us that is not bannable if i understand properly, sorry but my spanish ist perfect…
Dont worry guys. for now the overwolf minimap is officialy allowed. u wont get banned.
Yeah but, where i can find this “Official allowed” ?
I can only read “Is bannable” after two days “Is not bannable” and so on…
You can’t. The Overwolf Minimap was not allowed at any time. The latest statement says that they now consider addons as “fine” which only use your own position to show a map - no external sources for any other data.
But the Overwold Minimap DOES use external data sources (the info from newworld-map.com) and because of that it is not one of the addons that is now allowed.

Yeah… Iam really confudes, too… Every mini map tool now, is showing nodes…
Highly contradictory! O.o
HAHAHAHA that’s hilarious…their website says one thing, and then they tell Amazon “What? No! It totally doesn’t do that” 
Its the reply from the CM from yesterday, so it is indeed official
"Greetings Adventurers,
We continue to discuss this particular addon with Overwolf. For now, we have made the decision that client-controlled addons which solely use the position of the player in the world are fine. However, if the functionality changes in a way that violates our Terms of Service, such as integrating other web sites to determine where nodes, paths or safe/unsafe areas of the map are, we will first provide an official change in our stance, and then take action.
Thank you for your patience."
they will warn the players before they ban them, if the functionallity of the minimap changes.
You are late for the party, we know the statement and have been talking about it.
Like so many others you did not understand the statement. Probably you read it with what you want in mind instead of objectively. The statement does not say “we will warn you before banning you in case THE MINIMAP changes”.
The Overwolf Minimap is ONLY affected by this statement by the VERY FIRST sentence. That sentence said they continue their discussion. After this sentence, the statement talks about “addons which solely use the position of the player”. THESE are fine. The Overwolf Minimap is NOT one of these (it uses external data). Therefore it is NOT fine.
After that they say if any of the addons that are fine (you know, those ONLY using the position of the player) change what they do and thus become “no longer fine”, that they will warn players about this before taking action. Again - the Overwolf Minimap is completely out of the picture because it never was one of the addons that are ok, because it does not only use the player position.
It is truly amazing how many people are unable to understand what is written.
they will 100% warn players before banning them no matter how
pessimistic u guys are.
