- What is your character name in New World: Filch
- What server/world did you experience your issue on: Minda
- Describe the issue you are experiencing: The description for Strong Corrupted Ward Potion varies from the actual effects. The description states the duration to be 2 minutes and the cooldown to be 120 seconds. The actual duration is 30 seconds and the actual cooldown is 90 seconds [see screenshot]. The description additionally states that the damage absorption lasts “for 3 seconds or after receiving damage 3 times” instead of lasting for 30 seconds or after receiving damage 3 times. However, It’s possible the intended description is “Increases damage absorption from Corrupted by 300% for 3 seconds starting from the first hit or after being hit 3 times” The strong corrupted ward potion is just an example. ALL ward potions have this issue.
- Is this a bug or an exploit: bug
- (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: I haven’t used the ward potions because it seemed like you needed to use it right before getting hit or immediately prior to starting battle, when in reality you could use it while setting up for a fight. If you are 3 seconds away from an enemy, the chances are that you are already in combat. HUGE difference. The only way to tell that the potion works differently is to try it - but why would you even craft or purchase them given the description. The negative effects can be further shown by examining the purchase logs. Are they what were expected during design of the potion?
- (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: N/A
- (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
- What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Look at the description, drink the potion and compare the effects/duration/cooldown actually given to the effects listed.
