Things have been better since after the December patch and the Winter Convergence event for the holiday season, and New World players have been particularly happy about the addition of Gleamite meteors. These meteors are random, dynamic events that can occur whenever it’s night in New World, and they appear as flashy, firey objects flying through the sky. At some point, the meteors disintegrate and scatter into Gleamite Chunks - iridescent crystals from space - that players can harvest in order to obtain extra Winter tokens for more holiday loot.
Winter tokens are already an integral part of New World’s Winter Convergence event, and they can be exchanged at the Winter Village Holiday Huts, which means that they will most likely be gone when the event ends. However, a Reddit user called TeenyTinyWyvern made a post asking for meteors to stay, and it gained quite a lot of traction within the community. The player suggested making the meteors drop Starmetal nodes after the event is over, which makes sense thematically and would still provide an entertaining in-game event that is also good for farming.
New World is available now on PC.
