- What is your character name in New World: Immotay
- What server/world did you experience your issue on: Kunlun
- Describe the issue you are experiencing: Character freezes when charging Staff attack while reverse strafing
- Is this a bug or an exploit: bug
- (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: character is unable to move
- (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: dodging in any direction lets you regain control of your legs
- (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:
• Strafe either way (left or right) by pressing A/D while aiming at a fixed direction
• When you are at full speed, press the opposite strafe key
• When the “braking” animation starts, hold LMB to start charging a heavy attack
• When attack goes off, you’ll be locked in place and you’ll only be able to move again once you dodge.
This hasn’t happened before today’s patch, I assume it was a collateral effect due to the attempt of fixing the frozen legs animation bug. I have only tested this with the life staff so I cannot confirm if this happens with the Ice Gauntlet/Fire Staff.
It apparently doesn’t happen with melee weapons since you can’t move while charging an attack with those.
