What is your character name in New World: Voorg
What server/world did you experience your issue on: Midgard
Describe the issue you are experiencing: After clocking over 2.5k hours in-game I am 100% certain that there is a bug that stops luck from working. The bug has no clear trigger that I can determine but it definitely exists. Every time I experience an uncharacteristically long period without rare drops when gathering or farming chests, after re-logging I immediately begin to get drops at the expected rate. This has occurred dozens of times.
Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Blocker; Prevented rewards being earned at the correct rate.
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Yes but only by relogging.
(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: N/A
What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Intermittent, gather in luck gear for reasonable period of time, perhaps over several sessions.
we all know luck is broken. Harvesting luck works. drop luck however does not function as explained.
But as we’ve been told- it works- with no supporting evidence- but we have hundreds of hours of video evidence outlining how it isn’t working. and want to continue to stand by that. fine.
However- if it is functioning as intended… then luck values on gear need to be reworked by atleast making them twice as effective. so they feel as impactful as harvesting luck
Harvesting luck is also affected by this bug, I have had the same issue when farming wirefiber for scalecloth and blisterweave, skinning, and mining. I don’t usually log for rares but I suspect it’s affecting all gathering skills in addition to generic luck.
interesting. probably the same bug then that happens in opr/wars. where your damage mitigation drops from 40% to like 5% till you relog after the match
Hard to give a definitive answer to that question because you expect some fluctuation in drop rate due to the nature of RNG, I relog as soon as I realize my luck is bugged. this bug has probably cost me hundreds of hours in total.
I have suggested the addition of a holistic stat screen on the feedback forum, if you also support that idea it would be great if you could post on that thread.
My biggest problem is to even realize when this problem occurs or even if it even does at all. Sometimes you get 2 drops in a couple of minutes and then nothing for days (though relogging multiple times). Running 40% luck should definitely ‘feel’ more rewarding
