• What is your character name in New World: DukeSloth
• What server/world did you experience your issue on: Utopia (AP Southeast)
• Describe the issue you are experiencing: In yesterday’s Brightwood war between Myst (defender) and Excessively Privileged (attacker), the attacker side experienced a variety of very impactful bugs that prevented them from fighting the war:

1. Multiple players got stuck in infinite loading loop after accepting the war invite
2. Siege weaponry couldn’t be placed on the ground for the majority of the war by most players, even in areas where the highlighter was indicating possible placement and no enemies were around.
3. A very small number of players was able to place Siege weaponry after many attempts over 20 minutes, but when placed, the Siege weapons wouldn’t even fire despite having full ammo.
4. AoE ghosting Fire Launcher: One player was able to place down a fire launcher towards the end of the war that actually fired projectiles, but when shooting targets on the point, the vast majority of them would not get hit by the aoe projectile, despite clearly being in the radius for it. Visible in recording at 6:45 min left in war.
5. AoE ghosting abilities. Multiple healers and fire/ice users described similar issues affecting their abilities in a way where they would simply not heal allies or damage enemies
6. Lag issues preventing weapon swap - Myst’s governor confirmed that this issue was experienced by their side as well: Players would often be unable to swap their weapons and experiencing ping spikes to 200 ping. This issue was also experienced by the attackers side, who are mostly Australian players and should therefore have much better ping
7. Multiple players were stuck in war after end of war

Yeah. I can’t even heal properly. My character frozen then like blink forward and back. I thought it was really bad lagged. End up rank most bottom. I love this game, hope it can be improved. Spent on new monitor, keyboard, gaming chair so that I could fully maximize the fun of this game. Please do recover well New World, I know everywhere Covid.

When the mines were placed, enemies did not trigger them when close. Nothing set them off.

We experimented the same issue with the siege weapons on attacker’s side yesterday. We were attacking Monarch Bluffs on the Oponskoye (NA EAST) server. The issue was worse at the beginning (before securing the three points). None of the cannon shot would connect and only a few while using fire launcher.
