Leaderboards
Greetings, Adventurers!
Carve your name into the history of Aeternum when Leaderboards launch on February 7. This new feature will recognize players, Companies, and Factions across more than 50 categories. Whether you prefer PvP, PvE, or just want to show off your Fishing skills, there’s something for every type of competitive player. Finish at the top of select weekly or quarterly Leaderboard categories for exclusive skins and titles. Which title will you claim?
Rewards
Outperform other players for more than 20 exclusive skins and titles. Game Designer Rachel Barnum shared some insight into the reward selection.
Example Titles and Skins
Title and skin rewards vary based on each category and placement. Check out the in-game Leaderboards for their exact requirements. The following examples use the Mutated Expedition Score category as a reference:
Top 5 Finisher: (Expedition Name) Victor
Title: Dynasty Victor
Top 25 Finisher: (Expedition Name) Medalist
Title: Dynasty Medalist
Top 5 Finisher: Conqueror of (Expedition Name)
Skin: Conqueror of the Dynasty Shipyard
Top 25 Finisher: Hero of (Expedition Name)
Skin: Hero of the Dynasty Shipyard
The picture below shows a Corrupted Breaches skin on the left, an Outpost Rush skin on the right, and a gold chest for any top tier finishers in the center.
Categories
“The primary goal of Leaderboards is to celebrate players’ accomplishments beyond single game modes or points in time,” Rachel said. “We went through all of the activities that New World has to offer and chose the ones that would best suit Leaderboards, such as Outpost Rush and War. We did have to balance against categories that may encourage bad or unhealthy behavior. For example, we originally had Gathering boards but these would have turned into excessive ‘grind boards.’ There were many ideas like Gathering that are generally better suited to personal stats for fun, rather than competing with others for the top spot.“
The Leaderboards screen is accessible through the Navigation bar in the menu under Modes. Look for the Leaderboards Tab to see which of the following categories offer rewards. Categories rotate either weekly, monthly, or quarterly and are for individual players and Worlds unless otherwise noted. Global categories will be implemented in a future update.
