New World hotfix deals with some MSQ bugs but some remain

New World fixed a ton of bugs already but another ton awaits its turn.

Amazon Game Studios pushed two bug hotfixes for New World over the weekend, fixing major progression bugs but due to the sheer amount of them, it was impossible to squash every last one.

The first patch's highlights are all about the season pass, which was to be expected since people paid for it and then couldn't get through to obtain the rewards.

In any case, the second patch was more focused on main story quests.

MSQ fixes in New World hotfix #2

  • Fixed additional reworked Main Story Quests that became stuck in a bad state, preventing quest progress
  • Made changes to prevent camp placement at the interact location for the quest “Tracking the Herd” objective “Collect a sample of beast dropping”
  • Removed the interact timer from the quest “Firing Back” to allow multiple players to complete the objective at the same time
  • Fixed an issue where Syndicate and Covenant NPCs were sometimes not visible during faction advancement progression. Marauder NPCs will be addressed in an upcoming patch
  • Fixed an issue where the quest “Syndicate Advancement: Magus” was missing the objective “Earn Faction Reputation to face the Trial for your next Rank”

Microtransactions work fine though

As you can see, the camp griefing is now gone and even the side quests in Elysian Wilds are properly completeable now without having to organise queues of players that would get to interact with the objective.

However, one notable fix that is still missing is the main quest before the expansion as people still can't upgrade their Azoth staves to level five, meaning they are still locked out of a lot of content since they can't close portals, interact with objects inside expeditions and even progress the main story quest itself.
