Vitae Aeternum: How to fix New World Aeternum’s endgame with chase items and solo play

  • New World lacks “chase” items, rare and highly desirable drops that keep people running content even if they need nothing else from it.
  • To avoid power creep and imbalance, chase items should primarily be cosmetic.
  • Cosmetic rewards like transmog tokens can be added back to drop tables for elite chests and old season pass and Twitch rewards can be reused.
  • Rare mounts are a great way to keep people engaged in the long term.
  • Player retention can be improved by keeping in mind the solo players who need a way to progress.
  • Solo players need a way to progress even if it's slower than group players.
  • Open world mobs have been nerfed, making factions missions and grinding mobs unrewarding and boring.
  • Incremental rewards are a great way to keep group content more rewarding without making solo content irrelevant.
  • New World needs to go back to its roots as a title that embraces a challenging and rewarding open world.
  • The surety of progress is what New World is missing and it’s especially bad for solo players but it does affect everyone.
