With trading systems now re-enabled in the game following a gold duplication exploit, the developers of New World have begun discussing the first improvements coming to open world PvP, Wars, and Territory Control in the foreseeable future.
In a lengthy post submitted yesterday on the official New World forum, Zin_Ramu revealed that players choosing to enable the PvP flag will soon get a boost to their luck score, which means they’ll have a higher chance of dropping better loot. Additionally, the durability loss to items occurring upon death will be further reduced when dying in PvP.
The developers of New World are looking at ways to make it easier to see whether a fellow player of your faction is flagged for PvP. Moreover, they agree that area of effect spells should look different if they come from a friend or a foe, but this will take longer to implement.
