New World: Aeternum has released in-depth details on the Hardcore Seasonal server opening up with tomorrow’s update.
The second seasonal server is all about the hardcore journey. If you have any desire to try it you need to be sure you own the Rise of the Angry Earth expansion. This is because the team wants to have maximum challenge and push everyone to the limits so full sets of artifacts are on the table.
In fact, one of the rules is that you can equip as many Artifacts as you want. The team doesn’t even know where this is going. It’s experimental. Go wild.
The server features a new and expedited questline that should have you maxed out in 6 hours. Azerite Tailings are the new progression mechanic. These drop from all different locations in the world and you can use them to craft inventory caches, which will give you pretty much all the things you need for your characters when you open them. Think consumables, gear, Artifact perk materials, and more.
After all, the point is to get leveled and geared up and ready for challenges as quickly as possible to see if you can survive. If you’re Unfallen, you can complete all challenges and have a chance at the best rewards. On death, you’re Fallen and a special stackable status gives you 25 bonus attributes per stack. Unlike other hardcore servers, death is not the end. If you still want a chance at the best loot, you can delete your character and start over.
New rewards include Raw Orichalcite Stone and Runewood Resin, new cosmetics, titles, and more to discover.
