Middle ability on secondary weapon permanently on cooldown

[XVII_Andre]

• What is your character name in New World: XVII Andre
• What server/world did you experience your issue on: BARRI
• Describe the issue you are experiencing: The middle ability on secondary weapon bug has returned (goes on perma-cooldown - unable to switch in the weapon setup). In this case it is ice gauntlet/ice pylon, however, when switching to a different weapon the same slot is still unavailable to use/change (this may be an effect of the initial issue being ice pylon and the slot itself being bugged, i didn’t test).

This was a bug some time back, and my experience tells me that the latest patch reintroduced it.

i stopped played for two and half months due to bugs, just came back and thought it was much better - but after all three of your patches [since i came back] ‘seem’ to have reintroduced one old bug or another.

(my suggestion is to not allow concurrent development, since many old ‘issues’ return (i worked in IT for over 25 years, i don’t think any of your dev’s have enough experience - maybe you need a few old guys, lol))

• Is this a bug? BUG

• (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: er, cannot use the ability.

• (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: no…
  logged off/on;
  killed game/restarted;
  rebooted pc (this allowed me to use the ability just once, then bug was implemented.
  logged off/on - ice pylon came back, then bugged again.

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

• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: use the R (default) ability. This may be triggered by changing weapons. since this is probably a reintroduced old bug you will have all the details

• When did this happen? (Date and Relative time; please include your timezone) 2022-09-27 & then today, 2022-09-28 07:30 ish GMT (UTC).

OK, so i went to switch to VG for a run, but the MOST important ability is on the R key - i am unable to switch key bindings, and even if i could, i’d be pressing the wrong key and wondering why void blade doesn’t come out - so i can’t go on the run!!

[XVII_Andre]

After relogging, i switched to void blade, tried the ability, and it goes through the correct cooldown procedure… so it could just be ice pylon - as mentioned, this was an issue prior to my hiatus, so dev’s should have the issue/fix documented. Er, actually, maybe not, lol.

UPDATE: i switched back to IG, without even using the ability, after hoping about on terrain (dodging/dropping (incurring fall damage)), the ability just disappeared all on it’s own - now at the point where my normal game is unplayable.
