Amazon Game Studios dropped a 27 GB patch in New World, bringing the Halloween event and a pile of bug fixes to the game at the same time.
The Halloween festivities are working fine as far as we can tell but the previous game-breaking issues have been fixed, the ones people have been asking for for weeks - main story quest and draw distance.
However, in true AGS fashion, they still messed up some things along the way.
Generally, the draw distance is no longer an issue. Mobs appear in your sight line from a very long distance and you no longer need to get within five meters for them to spawn.
The main story quest is a mixed bag though. Some players who had issues with Dowsing for Answers and the Staff of Wizardry quests have reported them as fixed but others are still having issues.
Issues with the Azoth Staff tiers are mostly reported by players who completed quests to upgrade it previously but the staff's status didn't change. Now they can't start these quests again and the staff's tier is still lower than it should be, which blocks them from continuing Brimstone Sands main quest.
That draws additional issues as the players can't even get a heartrune as a result, which leaves them at a disadvantage in PvE but especially in PvP.
