New World Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Roto_Wizard Evan Tarracciano (@Roto_Wizard) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Yay for cosmetics…. Said no one who actually plays the game, begging for the litany of bugs, crashes, imbalanced and errors to be fixed.

  • Paradox_EP Ethan Price (@Paradox_EP) reported

    @jc05011999 @playnewworld @primegaming No. Bc there's several issues of just lack of caring or attn to detail

  • RealMoonGamer Moon (@RealMoonGamer) reported

    @IAmBigfut @TheSymptomz @playnewworld Got no issues on my end, recently tho steam has been finicky with connections and syncing to game servers ive noticed

  • Sieder14 Colin Sieder (@Sieder14) reported

    @playnewworld fix your stupid game and make items you buy from the trade house go into storage, Nothing like buying 4k weight items and not seeing they go into your bag to the point you cant move anymore and have to wait 4 hours for your friend to finish work to help you.

  • SacksofW Rich SacksofWine Long (@SacksofW) reported

    @JackKnifeJay @playnewworld @primegaming Having the skin/character development team probably wouldn't be the best suited to fix bugs with world issues. Nor the social media team that announces these new releases. I hear you though, wrong team to announce it to though.

  • Exitbot Exitbot (@Exitbot) reported

    @_Camouchie @playnewworld @primegaming Game delayed 2 years to "fix bugs". Game launches with same bugs. It's cool that you're casual but 90% of the core systems in the game don't even work. Stop letting game dev's **** in your mouth and call it lasagna..

  • PirataSomal1 PirataSomali (@PirataSomal1) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Fix your ******* game

  • UnmaskedGG Unmasked (@UnmaskedGG) reported

    @playnewworld Are there any plans for one free name change, or even a limited paid name change service to be added? Some of us (read: I) ended up leveling/playing on a server with the 'wrong' name because of queues and would like the option to change to a name from another server

  • redins_ Philip Snider (@redins_) reported

    @playnewworld @AN1MA @Gothalion would agree not a good take The SM content is how 90% of people ingest game communication these days No official ann from the SM acc feels like you aren’t doing a just service to the players Noone expects SM to fix it but would expect updates on the issues plaguing it

  • Skurbbz Skurbz (@Skurbbz) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Can you guys please fix the Malevolence last boss spawning?? There was seriously 25 people on my server yesterday who needed hammer quest done….

  • EmwunGarand Emwun Garand (@EmwunGarand) reported

    Hey @playnewworld You in-game economy is broken. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

  • Sandr0131 Sandr013 (@Sandr0131) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming fix that stupid quests where hundred of mobs spawn instead of one in reekwater

  • solenya_0 solenya (@solenya_0) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Multiple companies are losing their towns to lag and exploitation during war. What are you guys doing to fix this?

  • Wh0isDaveEast East🏁💫 (@Wh0isDaveEast) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Where’s the fix the game prime gaming pack? Pvp fixes,outpost rush, and turn server xfers back on.

  • TheGreatSuar The Negative One (@TheGreatSuar) reported

    @_Camouchie @playnewworld @primegaming We are owed something… a working game/service that we paid money for. In what other facet of life do you pay someone to do a job and then not expect updates along the way?

  • Sha0linn Shaolin (@Sha0linn) reported

    @Gothalion @playnewworld How would you even fix this tbh lmao it's just so much

  • accureye FA_eye(formally Accureye) #CyberPunk2077 (@accureye) reported

    Does anyone know how to fix error code 29 or 25 on @playnewworld as i just got that code today but idk how to fix it other than a clean install

  • quxion24 Mark Webster (@quxion24) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Maybe try fixing the server transfer issue instead of **** like this

  • Flexxatronn Bryce (@Flexxatronn) reported

    @playnewworld Fix the ******* game. You can't even play in wars, because people just spam great axe/warhammer/ice gauntlet and lag out the defenders. Lvl 65 major breeches still don't give drops. Outpost rush is still disabled. There's still ******* placeholder images for items ffs.

  • PaijeanTV PaijeanTV on New World (@PaijeanTV) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Love the game but can we fix Windsward trading post, I buy things & it only goes through when I leave WW. Super buggy😭

  • TheSymptomz Symptomz (@TheSymptomz) reported

    Anyone else having issues connecting to @playnewworld? #NewWorldMMO

  • Bear_Pixels BearH2o (@Bear_Pixels) reported

    @playnewworld Well since NW_Mugsy has banned me from the NW forums I will post here where he has no control. He removed all my posts asking WHERE IS THE OFFICIAL UPDATES! We don't need updates from a CM whose head is too big and likes deleting posts because it makes AGS look bad. BROKEN GAME!

  • MudcatTV MUDCAT (@MudcatTV) reported

    @Rose_Garden007 @playnewworld Lag causing everyone to look like statues. Impossible to tell what's actually happening.

  • Almalexxia ArcadeGannon (@Almalexxia) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Where are the transfers? Fix the game first. Shameless.

  • mediokr_mages WanderingWizard (@mediokr_mages) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming You know I would just like you guys to fix the bugs and have transfer instead of selling more cosmetics

  • __norv nørv  (@__norv) reported

    @playnewworld fix your game

  • Honey_Druid HoneyDruid (@Honey_Druid) reported

    @playnewworld TURN WAR OFF. It is just spamming AOEs on points to cause lag then a zerg. IT isn't fun. IT is broken. You are making people quit the game.

  • danielkathans danielkathans (@danielkathans) reported

    @playnewworld @primegaming Us West servers down for maintenance? Getting popup that I can't join because Mag Mell is under maintenance.
