While the game offers a dynamic class system, PvE content still requires balanced groups with Tanks, Healers, and Damage Dealers. Since roles can’t be reliably determined by equipped gear, allowing players to manually select their preferred role would improve group formation. However, this alone won’t prevent players from misrepresenting their role. To address this, an Inspect feature should be added, letting players verify each other’s gear when needed.

In the previous chapter, I highlighted the importance of roles, which directly ties into this issue: I need to know who I’m placing in war groups.

When linking this to the Standby list, I need visibility on the roles, levels, and online status of players who signed up. These details are essential for strategy and victory. A max-level player could be buried in the list, unnoticed, while weaker players get selected. Without a better system, I’m forced to manually check each sign-up, leading to poor team compositions.

Since New World is heavily PvP-focused, it must offer better war tools—players invest money in territories, and inadequate tools increase the risk of losing them.

Change the bright red color to a neutral shade like gray, commonly used for “inaccessible” or “disabled” elements. This reduces visual urgency and prevents the icon from feeling threatening to the player.

Given the many issues, a complete redesign of the chat seems necessary. I’d focus on prioritizing the most important factors, like essential communication, while minimizing less relevant elements (e.g., emotes). The visual style should be less intrusive, blending more seamlessly with the HUD to avoid distractions.

Additionally, implementing a local chat channel, where only nearby players can see messages, would be crucial to encourage more personal interactions without cluttering the server-wide chat.

The best way to fix this issue would be to give players the option to choose their spawn location, with an additional button for random spawning for those who prefer it. This would allow friends to select the same location and spawn together, ensuring a smoother social experience.

Companies (Guilds) can accumulate significant amounts of gold, and members can withdraw or donate to the treasury. It would be helpful to have a Donations/Withdrawals log, allowing easy tracking of who contributed or took money from the company treasury.

The current system would be much better if trade skill bonuses (Harvesting, Logging, Skinning, Mining, Luck, and Fishing) were applied in a different way, rather than requiring players to carry all the gear.

For example, to fully benefit from Harvesting, you need six pieces of gear (Head, Chest, Gloves, Pants, Shoes, and Amulet), which applies to each of the six farming categories—36 items in total, taking up valuable inventory space.

Recognizing these pieces is also difficult without hovering over each one or using the search bar. A better solution could be removing the bonuses from gear and having them apply through other objects or skills that can be easily equipped from elsewhere.

For instance, a specific potion could be used to provide bonuses, starting at 0% and increasing as you gather flask fragments. This would eliminate the need to constantly carry around multiple gear pieces and simplify the process.

While categorizing so many attribute combinations is challenging, improving the shop’s search function would greatly reduce the time players spend searching for the right gear. Merging the “Armor” and “Weapon” filters would be helpful, as they are identical but currently duplicated. Additionally, implementing a search bar would allow players to quickly find the desired suffix filter, cutting down on scrolling time.
