What is your character name in New World:
- Sithera/Wibblzz
What server/world did you experience your issue on:
- Maramma/Castle of Steel (all worlds)
Describe the issue you are experiencing:
- The lifestaff perk ‘Bend Light’ does not refresh properly. The perk is supposed to ‘refresh’ back to 5s after every dodge. But it doesn’t refresh properly and continuously loses time until it fully goes away and gets reset.
Is this a bug or an exploit:
- bug
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
- we cannot properly manage our buffs and sometimes lose the perk during critical moments, even if we’re timing our dodges properly.
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
- no
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
- in the video, you can see how it shows 5s after i dodge the first time. Then when you dodge again during the time Bend Light is active, it will not refresh back to 5s, but seems to just add 2s to whatever time is remaining on the timer.
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
-
make sure you have no other buffs activated (make sure you have less than 200 focus (because buff duration is increased by 20% making your bend light 6s instead). In order to see the full extent of the problem, try to have the base 5s cooldown.
Simply dodge once and watch the 5s cooldown… once it gets to 1 (or 2) seconds remaining, dodge again. It will not refresh to 5s, it will only refresh 2s. Before eventually being unable to be refreshed. -
Having the 20% buff from 200 focus, and the additional 20% buff from the perk ‘glowing focus’, bend light becomes a 7s duration. The same problem occurs even during the 7s duration.
When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone)
- 07/01/2022 2am Mountain Time (but this has been happening for months, to everyone in all regions)
TL;DR:
Please fix it so that when you dodge, the buff duration refreshes properly.
5s duration base
6s with 200 focus
7s with 200 focus and the ‘glowing focus’ lifestaff perk
Its supposed to ‘refresh’ the timer after each dodge to whatever your max Bend Light (buff) duration is (whether thats the 5/6/7s).
Thank you!
