Ice Gauntlet "Ice storm" does no damage over time

Hello,

Please check the following issue when possible:

  • What is your character name in New World: Leirlux
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Larissa
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: the skill “Ice Storm” does not do any damage over time (please, check this)
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: useless skill
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: no; this did not happened on “Kor” server. Tried to “unblock” the character once a couple of days ago and now I’m not able to do any damage. Tried also to “reset” the skill points, but still, no effect.
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: posted above
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: use the skill on any mob does not do any damage

From what I have seen the Ice Gauntlet has a few bugs with Ice Storm:

“Unending Thaw” item perk, the Ice Storm only deals damage once.

  • “Punishing Storm” skill perk, the Ice Storm ends early when you swap weapons.
  • Something makes boss monsters take no damage from the skill.

This is not the case for any of the bugs you mentioned:

As I mentioned before, the Ice Gauntlet in Kor server, worked right. There must be something on Larissa that it is not working well. Anyway, thank’s for the tip & I will look forward for a fast solution for this. It’s completely messing my gameplay experience.

Hey! Just got the answer to it!

Some gloves are bugged, and not because of any perk or anything but just the own gauntlet.
Changed to a different one and now it seems to be working perfectly.

I have the same problem…

Only be happening for the past couple of days which could coincide with getting a new glove.

Bought another one today, and still happening - Maybe I’m just unlucky ! :confused:

Keep on trying! I just fixed it by changing the gauntlet several times. Sad for us in any case, but devs should take a look at it when possible.

Okay, up! @RoobinX @teraohmique

Got the passive that is having trouble; it is not about a gauntlet, but a passive called “Unending Thaw”. If any of your items have this passive and you use an Ice Gauntlet as a weapon, you will not do any damage over time.

Using item with that passive (eg: helmet): Screen capture - 6466a0545693cfc90252e66984ae9e23 - Gyazo
Screen capture - c9e99067ee53369c26ec18756f4c8737 - Gyazo

Not using that item with that passive: Screen capture - 14f082e9d0256be2a11e3e540a6c4ef4 - Gyazo
Screen capture - 439cef1367c670258973bee1a1d047f6 - Gyazo

At the current state the Ice Gauntlet is not a weapon to use anymore, especially in PVP you can not use it.
It’s not just “Unending Thaw” that triggers this, since the latest patch they added that picking something up also causes this.
So every time you pick anything up in the world or gather something you need to unequip your Ice Gauntlet and equip it again to make it work.
Otherwise it will only produce visual effects but no damage.

We now had 3 patches in a row that made it worse to a point where it’s useless.
