The MMO New World has shared new details about PvE events in the Open World. The focus is primarily on the Corrupted, a hostile faction that also attacks your fortresses.
What are these events? The featured events are called “Breaches of Corruption” and are reminiscent of the Rifts from the MMORPG Rift.
They appear near your fortress and cause a piece of land to become corrupted, from which the Corrupted will attack the area.
What is special about it? The events dynamically respond to your fortresses and appear in various difficulty levels. The first ones can also be completed alone or in a small group. However, later events require you to approach with a whole company to stop the breach.
To crush them, you need to penetrate into the core of the breach and destroy the pulsating heart there. If you do not do this for an extended period of time, the breach will continue to spread.
As rewards for the breach, there will be exclusive resources that you cannot obtain anywhere else. However, you can also avoid the events as they should be prominently visible on the world map.
Multiple event tiers that become increasingly difficult
How is a breach structured? At the core of every breach is the heart along with an Acolyte of Corruption. These Acolytes fight against you and are said to possess many different abilities, including:
- The ability to float over great distances
- Deadly bolts of eerie energy
- Explosive orbs of pure corruption
If the defenders are eliminated from the heart of the breach, it can be sealed with a staff made of Azoth, the magical element in the world of Aeternum,.
What tiers are there for the event? Breaches exist in several difficulty levels, of which 4 have already been introduced:
- Corrupted Monolith – A simple level where several Zealots invade the land and slowly corrupt it.
- Corrupted Portal – Here, the mentioned Acolytes appear and open a portal to bring more Corrupted into the land.
- Infested Grove – Corrupted Azoth spreads and monstrosities emerge from the ground.
- Structure of Rot – A very high tier, where a giant structure emerges from the ground, from which the Corrupted flow.
Mini-Raids and Dungeons in the Open World
What does the rest of PvE look like in New World? In addition to the breach events, New World offers you further PvE content. This includes:
- Quests and missions often consisting of gathering resources or killing enemies.
- Areas in the Open World that are hidden, at the end of which bosses await for groups, somewhat like in a dungeon.
- Mini-raids in the form of instanced arenas.
- Events where the Corrupted attack your fortress during a scheduled period, similar to PvP.
These contents are supplemented by the crafting system and housing, which address PvE and PvP players. Furthermore, New World places great importance on connecting the two types of players rather than separating them.
