Gear score watermark from chests drop is broken

[kremjkee]

Gearscore is not progressing with loot from chests.

• What is your character name in New World: Smork
• What server/world did you experience your issue on: Fae
• Describe the issue you are experiencing: Gearscore watermark from loot drop works as intended. Gearscore watermark from any expedition chests is stuck on 500-510 gearscore and not improving. Presumably this is connected with recent portal drop disabled. Maybe a ninja gearscore reset?

• (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Drasticly. Running out of reasons to play the game.

Same issue, same server.
Asked several friends, situation is similar. Watermark doesn’t affect chests at all (Ran 2 elite zones 60+ and 3 times Lazarus).

Yes this is happening to me as well. Not sure if its connected to my recent transfer to the Orun server but this is game killing. Why should I grind the content when i’m getting nothing from doing so? I am falling behind all my friends because I get staight 500s on gs drops while doing endgame content. Salvaged probably 200+ items with 500 gs today alone. If this persists, I will be quiting sadly. So demoralizing.

It seems that the chest are locked to the level of the zone

Update, it only happens in expeditions, ow chests work fine

[deadmopozzz]

That’s true. Chests in exp give 500-510gs drop, but drop from the bosses give watermark gs items.

Can confirm that.
