Ice Storm sometimes placed directly at your feet

  • What is your character name in New World:

Dsingis

  • What server/world did you experience your issue on:

Tartarus

  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:

When casting Ice Storm, sometimes the ability gets casted under your feet, and not at the target location.

  • Is this a bug? (If this is an exploit, please dm Aenwyn or Luxendra)

It’s a bug.

  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:

Sometimes Ice Storm doesn’t get casted at the location, thus making it useless.

  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:

No, sometimes it happens, sometimes not. There is no recovery.

  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:

Here’s a video of the bug.

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:

I have no reliable steps to reproduce the issue, other than to just keep casting Ice Storm, until one time the bug appears.

I have three suspicions:

  1. Maybe it has something to do with hills, or rather uneven ground.

  2. Maybe the bug appears more often in the Barnacles and Gunpowder expedition, but that may just be my perception, because I exclusively use the Ice Gauntlet there.
    I notice this bug especially in the bossfights in that expedition.

  3. Maybe the bug appears more often when I quickly try to cast Ice Storm, like instantly selecting and casting it (clicking), instead of first aiming it for a second and then casting.

  • When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone)

It happens all the time, but in the video I posted, this bug happened on 27th of September around 12:55 - 13:00 in the Central European time zone. So about 15 minutes before posting this thread.

Yup, been noticing that every now and then. Incredibly frustrating as this is a bug that has existed for several abilities since Launch.

Hi, Dsingis. Thanks for providing that video clip along with the added info. I have passed this post on to the dev team.
