How Amazon Games’ New World breaks the MMO mould - PCGamesN

From action-focused combat to massive PvP battles, New World is much more than what you'd expect from an MMO.

No matter what weapon you’re using, combat in New World is much more involved than simply clicking on your chosen target and watching your character slowly dole out damage.

You need to take an active role in battles if you want to survive out there.

You can also block incoming attacks – as long as you have the stamina to do so – or dodge roll out of the way if the attack is looking particularly deadly.

In New World, you’ll join one of three factions – the Syndicate, the Marauders, or the Covenant.

Whether you want to aid their efforts by collecting deer skins, or engage in full-blown war at a Fort to assert your dominance over an enemy faction, there’s plenty of PvP action wherever you go.

There are no dedicated PvP zones, so if you’re on a quest for your faction, you’re wide open to attack from anyone in another faction wherever you are in the world.

Whether you’re interested in engaging in Aeternum’s power struggle or not, there are still plenty of ways to make your mark on the world?

For starters, you’ll gain Territory Standing whenever you complete quests in a region, allowing you to earn additional bonuses when you’re in the area.

You can fill it up with one hundred bookshelves if you really want to – so long as you have the skills and materials.
