Patch 1.0.2 will release at 3AM PT/10AM UTC/12PM CET on October 13. Game servers are expected to be down for a minimum of 5 hours. These patch notes were originally posted on the New World site.
FACTION MISSIONS:
We adjusted the rates of influence gain over time so that it will continue to require significant effort over time to flip a territory into conflict state:
- Reduced the amount of influence increase over time significantly for attacking factions. This is to account for a bug we found where the increase was multiplied much faster than intended over time.
- Removed the decrease in influence over time for defending factions.
