  • What is your character name in New World: Lilliana Moon
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: US East - Lilith
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: The quest “Dishonorable Daughter” in Everfall is still broken. After I collected the item, the NPC quest giver disappeared, and so did the map markers leading back to her. I abandoned the quest, but the NPC never reappeared. After latest update, the NPC is still not there, so I cannot restart the quest, which means I cannot complete the questline for Everfall, which means I cannot get the achievement for doing so.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay: Blocks progression - unable to complete questline or obtain achievement
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Start quest and complete as normal - the NPC disappeared after I obtained the item.
  • When did this happen? (Relative date and time; please include your timezone): The bug first happened in mid-November, and has continued to this day.

What is your character name in New World: Lilliana Moon
What server/world did you experience your issue on: US East - Lilith
Describe the issue you are experiencing: Achievement window does not display correctly (see screenshot). There doesn’t seem to be any pattern as to when this happens, but it’s about 50% of the time when I go to check the achievements. While this window is like this, achievements do not seem to update, but then once it is displaying properly again, then it’ll update and I’ll still get anything I had earned during the time it was bugged. So it seems to be affecting the display only.
Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
(if a bug) How did the issue affect your gameplay: Inconvenient - can still play and earn achievement, but sometimes I can’t check progress towards them
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: It seems to recover on its own sometimes, but then it’ll just bug again later. Relogging sometimes helps, but not always.
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:


What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Seems to happen on its own independently of what I’m doing in game
When did this happen? (Relative date and time; please include your timezone): Currently happening right now, 1/12/23 12:08 am MST

Silver never unlocked the high end mutations like M9 or M10. This isn’t new to this patch, gold was always required. There should definitely be more clarity about it in the UI though.

Do you know if they can fix all the quest that reset and mark them as done? Its so annoying to see yellow marks on the map :smiley: Or do you know if there is another way to do it?

Not at this time, completing them is really the only way to get them off the map.

  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: when attempting to decorate houses, both in everfall and ebonscale, the “number of items placed” counter shoots up to 150/150 (max amount) even though I only have maybe 20 objects placed. Causes lag and I cannot make any choices in the decoration menu. Picked up items have gone missing from inventory including Mistletoe and cypress wall shelf (would appreciate a replacement of those items!!). Lots of flickering and rendering stutters of decorations and furniture in the house as well.

  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: N/A right now
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: In house. “B” to decorate. Could be set off by picking up an existing item, moving an existing item, or working within the decorations menu at all. Does not happen every time.
  • When did this happen? (Relative date and time; please include your timezone) Jan 13, 2023 ~12:05am EST and a few times over the last two weeks
