Amazon Game Studios rolled out a small New World update that fixes several known issues, but the icing on the very short cake is that the team has removed deleted character names from the pool of “in-use” names. If you weren’t able to secure your go-to character name, then now’s the time to check if it’s available.

The rest of the update fixes issues with global and event timers negatively affecting server performance, a bug that permanently disabled dodging when exhausted, and crafting failures related to high latency. Crafted Tempest’s Heart Replica weapons have also been nerfed to the originally intended gear score range.

“Tempest's Heart Replica weapons now craft within the intended 597 to 600 GS range (when crafted with max tier ingredients and using all buffs),” explained the devs. “Tempest's Heart Replica weapons were previously crafting at too high of a Gear Score level.”
