They have no idea how to fix it, it must be something bigger. Same as weapon swap bug they wrote there is a problem with whole game code. Otherwise they would make it fixed long time ago. Game is just broken, they released this game too soon and that was a big mistake which killed game. Imagine going through alpha, beta, offical realse in 4 months I knew that will be suicide.

I think there’s some truth to that. But the problem is, without a detailed statement on the current state of the fix progress, without detailed information on exactly these game-breaking bugs, I can no longer keep our people in the game. Even players with more than 1200 hours of playtime who don’t care about new content are leaving the game every day because nothing is moving in the direction of bug fixing. Since weeks/months…

My whole server has ended up switching to VG/IG to try and defend their territories from people that know how to create this bug on someone. It is starting to be Exploiters vs Exploited. I have played this game for over 1000 hours and have 2 level 60 characters… But seeing the people I play with having to switch to a weapon they do not like to have a chance at winning a DEFENSE is ridiculous. The defense should be easier when you have everything upgraded, but for people on offense to use this movement bug exploit on others to win is by far the worst bug I have even had to deal with on a game. I can take all the bs bugs like the musket fire damage when crouching and the sacred ground spam crouch healing. But for a game to have an exploit so a player can make another unable to fight in a 30-minute war is unacceptable. If there isn’t a fix to this bug yet then I beg for a removal of the ability that is causing this until it can be reapplied to the game safely. As an active competitive player, I will have to say I will not play until either they remove the ability or they fix the issue. I love this game and the PVP however, I can not play a game where players can make you unable to enjoy the game.

Last two wars I have gotten the movement bug after my first couple deaths. This makes the game unplayable because wars are so important. Very frustrating. Use WH/GA and if you are melee and can’t move without hopping around, you are useless at tracking down any ranged opponent. Please make priority. Please please please.

Personal update here. Logged in at 4:30 did my refining cooldowns and gypsum content because I’m obligated to. Did 1 OPR. Got in a 50-400 losing match. Team was all PVEing to get their 500 points for their gypsum because that’s why people queue OPR. So I went mid solo and died to 6 ice gauntlets and got movement bugged. I hopped around annoyed that my non movement bugged teammates were just afk in the woods while I WANT to play competitive pvp and can’t because it doesn’t exist. It’s 5:30 now and I’m going to play anything else the rest of the night because there’s nothing to do in New World.
Any update on the progress for this?? I am a few days away from uninstalling this game…

This bug more than any other has sapped my will to pvp, and done the same for most that I know in game. The ice shower/scream root meta on its face just isn’t fun, it’s not engaging combat. Slap on this movement bug that is made more frequent by the root meta and it’s just a perfect storm for making people want to throw in the towel.

You’re not going to get a reply. I’ve been pinging Kay for over a week and not a single response. The last 3 of our wars have had about 20 people with the movement bug. Companies have figured out how to do it and it appears the devs just don’t give a shit. They are focusing their time on raising the GS cap and adding stupid grindy PvE content. People on our server are quitting in mass because they have ruined melee PvP. After seeing the latest dev info I’ve also lost all hope in them fixing anything.

Agreed. Melee never felt so buggy and useless until the past month or so. Its like you are either forced to range or have a completely bad time. So messed up…

Hello? NEW WORLD? DOES ANYONE WORK HERE? I logged in to do a war today and that’s it. Felt good not spending any extra time in this game. I think I’m getting over it.

9 days since they said they have a fix in QA but no replies since then. Does anyone know if they are actually patching a fix in any time soon?
I’ve had this bug in the last 3 wars I fought. If it doesn’t get fixed soon, I’m just going to stop signing up for wars, and once I do that, what will be the point in even playing NW?

They have to unravel the spaghetti coding first this bug probably touches several other files and if that is the case they should honestly remove said weapon thats causing it and balance others around that change until you actually figure out the fix for this since it is ruining your game.
Imagine you do a new mutation dungeon and you get the heal bug or movement speed bug well there goes that orb LOL

After 1600+ hours, this is the first day I didn’t even log in! I spent all day on Rust. Limited features but working gameplay and had a great time with friends. I even missed a war in which I was selected. There are people who are upset they never get picked for wars and I voluntarily am not even logging in for them because the game is broken and I don’t want to use an Ice gauntlet for the bugged 10% damage buff on your other weapon because I don’t know if that’s an exploit or just the meta and I don’t feel like getting movement bugged by the other 50 Ice gauntlets. xD

Can we have another update? It has been two weeks since this post was made. In the recent video with Game devs, they spoke about bugs but didn’t mention this bug a single time. Are they avoiding this for some reason???
Yes and yes. This bug is ingame since the beginning of November. Tbh I guess AGS didn’t know how to fix it. They said already a few times that they have a fix. But nothing happened.
I just read January patch notes and don’t see mention of this being fixed. Did I miss something or are they really not fixing it?
Yeah i know, I have not seen it in the known bugs list !! Very concerning!!
I think they should leave this bug ingame, lots of people learned how to abuse it so this is great way how to efectively eliminate most powerfull companies from major cities.

that’s very good to hear because nothing else matters more going forward than fixing this bug
i hope its fixed in the update but if not, it needs to be your teams absolute priority the moment the servers up if it’s still there, hotfixed within the week, along with the other ice gauntlet bugs. They are all very public and being used by more and more people, the same way the hatchet was.
When I think back to the hatchet days, I honestly wish you disabled the weapon entirely until you had a fix in. I have the same suggestion for Ice gauntlet if the movement bug, as well as the ice storm bug, are not fixed when the server is alive.
