Fight Turkulon for the Drumstick of Death

by timmyopa

Greetings, Adventurers! Dinner has never been so dangerous. Satisfy your hunger for carnage when Turkulon returns from November 20 through December 3. Hunt down the Feathered Avenger of Death and his "fowl army" to earn unique, event-specific items, including the Grand Gobbler War Hammer, Turkulon’s Juicy Calves Boots Skin, and Massive Turkey Legs. The new Drumstick of Death Flail Skin is also waiting to be served. Rewards Regular turkeys and Turkulon reward players with different loot. Use the Turkulon’s Claw Skinning Knife to "finish your food" for even more rewards. Each regular turkey has a 20% chance of dropping one. Some items marked below have daily limits. These reset at 5 a.m. local time. For example, if a player grabs three Turkey’s Treasures at 4:58 a.m., they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 a.m. Regular Turkey Loot Regular turkeys can be found scattered across the map. Players will likely spend more time skinning than fighting them. Diamond Gypsum (20% Drop Chance) Limit...

Indeed, the island itself is the grandest mystery of all – located somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, protected by the ever-churning Stormwall. While people from seemingly all ages and regions find their way here eventually, so too do many of the animals native to each corner of the Earth. At this point in time, it is highly likely that adventurers have encountered most of them. But there are rumors of another, more hidden creature. To whit, and of late, a certain Dr. Aenwyn has been raising much ado throughout the settlements (even as far north as the outposts of Shattered Mountain) about a “Grate Discovery To Rival All Known Discoverys”. Her atrocious spelling aside, the volume of her voice does make this pronouncement intriguing. A new animal? Here,...

Amazon nerfs New World Aeternum's XP rewards in its new PvP zone

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Less than a month after it launched, Amazon Games has nerfed the XP rewards of New World Aeternum's new PvP zone, The Cursed Mists. The area arrived as part of the MMO's recent revamp, and it presents players with an extraction-like gameplay loop with unique loot and XP available for playing. Amazon says the zone was giving players "more PvP experience than intended," with the rewards now brought back down. Read the rest of the story...

From voiceovers (VO) to sound design, discover how the Audio Team designed Nightveil Hallow. Once you’ve learned more about the voice and sound effects behind Baalphazu, confront the Marquis of Terror in-game for event-specific rewards before Nightveil Hallow ends on November 5. Voiceovers Salvatore Casting Baalphazu and Salvatore was rather unusual compared to how we typically handle that process. Starting with Salvatore, they wanted to have this voice pay homage to some of the great actors from the golden age of horror films like Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney. This became a rather challenging request to find just the right voice. https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/3uReRDehPo37zX2LWFFNoU/0c97f4b4ccb1098e0af7b40f7c5458d3/NW_Salvatore_NightVeilHallow_03_1920x1080_Web_CT-0...

The demon Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror, and his horde of ghoulish Pumpkinites are spreading a living nightmare across Aeternum. Aid Salvatore the Mad in his quest to banish these foul terrors and collect a bounty of Nightveil Hallow rewards. We spoke to the Design, Narrative, and AI Teams for insight into various aspects of the event. Let’s find out some of the tricks that brought you this Halloween treat. You’ll also get a glimpse at early Nightveil Hallow concept art from before Baalphazu could cast their first shadow over Aeternum. Inspiration The direction of Nightveil Hallow was greatly inspired by 80s horror movies, specifically the awesome creature-flicks and fun-spirited ‘schlocky’ tone of the era. As a Halloween and horror-fanatic, it was a blast to work with the team to mix all the pieces that make...

Despite massive relaunch, New World Aeternum's middling reviews remain unchanged

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Everyone loves an underdog, coming from behind to take the spotlight and become all it was promised to be. That's part of why Final Fantasy XIV's relaunch was so successful, because the bones of a great game were always there and in its second incarnation it managed to bring that greatness to the fore. On the other side, sometimes a relaunch fails, with the new version of a title disappearing without trace. In the case of New World Aeternum, however, it looks like its new, retooled version is carrying on in pretty much the same fashion as before, at least in the case of its Steam reviews.

If New World Aeternum hasn't impressed you yet, Amazon is offering big rewards

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Amazon Games' New World has been making waves thanks to a colossal update that nudged the MMO towards the ARPG genre and rebranded the game to New World: Aeternum. Now, the developer is offering several free rewards for those just starting out, but you've only got a limited time to earn them. Read the rest of the story...

New World Aeternum revamp thrusts the MMO to its best playercount of the year

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It's make or break for New World Aeternum. One of Amazon's many runs at the MMO genre, we can finally get our hands on the new, ARPG-charged revamp. With New World's playercount already skyrocketing, this could very well be the moment where the phoenix rises from the ashes, but only time will tell. With fellow Amazon-published MMO Throne and Liberty out in the same month (and free-to-play no less), it'll be really interesting to watch where New World Aeternum lands.

Best New World Aeternum class and top weapons for all archetypes

by editor@pcgamesn.com

What are the best archetypes in New World Aeternum? This re-branding of Amazon Games' MMORPG into more of a co-op action RPG comes with seven starting classes, or 'archetypes,' to choose from. From the straightforward Soldier to the unique Musketeer, it's a hard choice to begin with - luckily, we've put together a tier list of the best archetypes so you know which one is for you. That said, archetypes are little more than starting weapons and equipment, meaning there's nothing stopping you from investing in other weapons from other archetypes. If you're just starting out in New World Aeternum, you might want to dive into our in-depth guide to the best New World Aeternum builds for the early and mid-game in PvE and PvP.
