Questions for Forged in Aeternum Community Q&A, January 2023 edition

Throughout New World’s life, we’ve felt a strong disconnect between the players and the developers. Forged in Aeternum is a good step forward, however, more could be done to connect experienced players with developers to help with the minutiae of game balance.

Would you be open to a “Round Table” Discord server or a scheduled working group session with prominent members of the streaming community as well as competitive PvP company leadership?

#1. Will we ever get our storage to be useable in any town… meaning can I pull from any town that i have opened up while I am crafting. my wife and I craft in the M bluff, but it is a pain to have to go pull out a ton of stuff and carry or put in the current town back just to craft.

#2. Also will we see more depth to music someday. It is such a great and wonderful system… but needs to had more buffs.

#3. Do you have new things planned for the Role players… new outfits, more housing items, and so on. (look at LOTRO… they have a great role playing environment… drinking and smoking LOL)

Do you plan chests (housing) with storage perks like satchels? (would be cool…^^ We could specialize the towns storages)

When do we see legendary chests for housing?

When GS 625 Tools?

When Mutated Invasions?

When Tier 6 Crafting Stations?

Assuming there is a level cap/GS increase at some point in the future, will a major perk overhaul be considered at that time, potentially including the removal of certain perks? Many perks can’t be significantly changed right now because players spent a lot on BiS, but certain perks like Stamina Recovery seem somewhat unhealthy for the balance of the game long-term.

Question:
Are there any plans to balance PvE / PvP separately? Since raids are getting introduced and alot of the weapons are not “viable” in pve since alot of the melee weapons are alot more viable and make content easier.

I know you are working on sets and all of that which is fantastic. At this point why can I not simply search my inventory/storage by perk keywords. For example, if I type ‘Lost’ in the search why can it not show me gear with lost bane or lost word or anything that has lost in the wording of the gear opposed to just the name of the item. It would make finding things much easier even without sets to be able to type ‘resilient’ and sift through my gear and compare similar items.

Hi! I play tanky SnS tank and feel that I have very low utility and low impact on fight in PvP (as result classical SnS tanks aren’t popular in competetive PvP).

What devs think about state of classical tanks in PvP? Are they going to buff their utility and impact in PvP? Maybe by upcoming one-handed mace? :wink:

Thank you! :smiley:

When do you planning to allow transfers from fresh start server to the old server?

Will the cost of making arena orbs ever become cheaper? I really like the whole identity of the siren queen, and its loot is fun to chase, but the investment isn’t worth it right now.
I feel like these arena bosses deserve some attention or love.

Any news on increasing the amount of active buff trophies?

Meaning the ability to hang more trophies per house OR hang them all (so they’re not all over our banks and inventories) and then activate x number of trophies from the character BIO page?

Thank you.

Can we get Resilient and Ward perks from the same perk bucket?

Will devs livestream their gameplay in OPR on live servers so we can watch their reactions to the current state of combat?

I’ve been trying to switch factions for months. All the friends I’ve made are in another faction and I’m unable to join a company with them. I play every day and check if i can switch with no luck. Are you looking at different options for switching factions? It’s extremely frustrating.

ores and resources when will they be changed so that we all can grab them? instead of fighting against camping harry on his rock waiting for them to respawn, grab each resource once daily with a timer like elite chest maybe!! new players stand no chance of progression

Is there a reason why players couldn’t simply freely transfer between worlds whilst a cross server solution is being worked on? maybe with a short cooldown (48h or something like this?)

And when will fresh start → fresh start server transfer be available?

Will you at any point make OPR queue similar to expedition queues. Where you can queue as a ranged/melee/healer. So as to make teams more balanced?

Will there ever be a way to solo expeditions when you can’t get a group together? Or will there ever be a solo expedition introduced? This is something I am desperate to see! Love the work you guys do!

Have you any plans for Crafting/Drop and Market improvments? If yes which and how they will affect or change that side of the gameplay?

Thank you

Can we remove some of the useless rng from items? IE keep weapon perks relevant to the weapon crafted or found or one central ward type that encompasses all enemy types. Make it more accessible for people to try new things and experience all the great work devs have done
