- Despite some flaws: Why Amazon’s New World is a true MMO gem
-
The map of New World has been expanded with a new endgame area. Reekwater is a muddy swamp with new elite enemies. MeinMMO editor Leya Jankowski took a look around Reekwater during an event and tested the new feature: fishing.
The key new features at a glance:
- The map of New World has been expanded with the new endgame area Reekwater and is now accessible in the closed alpha. In this swamp, there are new elite enemies and lore about a siren queen. In German, the area is called Brackwasser.
- In addition to the area, the new feature “Fishing” has been integrated, which is closely intertwined with the crafting system of New World.
- A new weapon has also made it into the MMO, the spear. It is a combination of ranged and melee combat, similar to the throwing axe.
- The team is currently working on a rework of existing areas to make them visually more distinct.
- Initial feedback from players from the preview event has been processed, such as a nerf of the healing staff.
The new area Reekwater is a swamp. The associated settlement consists of a treehouse complex. Reekwater is muddy and fetid – A great atmosphere
After receiving a small presentation from the developers about the new area and features, we were able to explore Reekwater for about an hour. We were provided with high-level characters and equipment with fishing rods.
To enter the area, players should have reached at least level 50. The elite enemies there are strong and bring new mechanics with them, which is why Reekwater is considered a new endgame area.
This is my first impression of the swamp: With a small group, I march towards Reekwater and am immediately captivated by the visuals. I can almost smell the rot. The settlement in the area is surrounded by water, from which large trees rise. The inhabitants build their huts in Reekwater on the large trees of the swamp, allowing them to float above the waters. Everything is in dark green tones, giving it a mystical touch.
Reekwater reminds me of a dark Neverland from Peter Pan, where crocodiles, pirates, and mermaids await me. I actually found reptiles and pirates in the swamps, and a siren is supposed to play a significant role in the area.
