What is your character name in New World: lambylamb
What server/world did you experience your issue on: Manhgalour
Describe the issue you are experiencing:
Luck randomly breaks and I cannot get legendary mats with max luck. Examples include having 3 major mining trophies with max gear and mining 20 consecutive nodes with not even a gem. Most recently, I gathered 1000 wirefiber and got an expertise level without a single blisterweave or scalecloth with PvP on, 3 gathering trophies, 596 amulet, 600 gear, 521 sickle, and 2000 food.
Before people say I am just “unlucky”, these events are 1/trillion unlucky if gathering luck is truly random.
Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Makes gathering very frustrating
(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:
Another 2000 wirefibers across 2 trips so 3000 total (enough to get another expertise chest), but only one single drop with blisterweave, the rest only wirefiber.
Friends with less luck getting much more drops and I had much more drops when I came a week or so ago.
Yeah it definitely feels broken/bugged or shadownerfed again, I tried gathering with 1 major/2 minor/full harvesting set and 2000 luck food, pvp on. After 3500 wirefiber I got maybe 20/30 legendaries ?
I remember before the patch with less luck I got 100+ of each…
Worse is the Sumptuous Rabbit meat rate from Rabbits and Legendary Fish from Secret Hotspots. It’s not even that they should be higher, its that they are radically different per 100 resourcing attempts.
Sometimes, just fast traveling breaks it. Other times, its from switching gear or food, or toggling pvp.
The only semi-consistent fix I found is strip all gear off, eat a different food, then fast travel somewhere else, then quit to desktop. After that, reload the game, login, put everything back on (including eating food). Fast travel to previous spot, enable pvp flag at new spot. This doesn’t always work either but it appear to help some of the time. I’ve also played with removing trophies, performing resourcing activity, reloading, then putting trophies back. I can’t say if this helps or not.
I’m really suspicious New World has the same hidden anti-farm code GW2 did. It feels exactly the same where you just suddenly stop getting drops. Jon Peters, the dev responsible for this in GW2, also worked at AGS during New Worlds development.
