It would make sense if they made this new GS improvement/reset if they released all the other weapons that are planned to be released.
That way you can farm all of it at once.
Now doing this reset and then releasing weapons bit by bit, will make people have to grind every other patch.
It is called “end game”
Write to Amazon’s executive team and complain at bezos@amazon.com. Ask for a internal review of upcoming decisions assosiated with the resetting of watermarks in New World. Make sure to establish necessary premises, they more then likely don’t have in game knowledge.
Live chat has been wrong before. I can only assume that this live chat person doesn’t know what they are talking about. The notes were just released and given the “knowledge” their support has shown in other issues I wouldn’t believe anything they wrote.
Confirmed bait
Because If you have all 580 gs crafted gear that you make yourself but only have 520 watermark you will go to 520 expertise (are just renaming watermark) crafted gear so your gear score will drop.
This is unbelievable…
lmao no way they’d reset, the change is unpopular enough, resetting would kill the game.
Just betting on a clueless CS person.
There’s a continuation of this. The same Tech later said that wasn’t accurate. Then there was another Rep who said that this was incorrect.
No Reset…
nonsense
This is not confirmed. And you just got someone fired probably. Nice work.
Almost like those who grinded crafting skills to make themselves the best armor. If they’re going to not allow us to utilize the armor we crafted I say ruin it for everyone then. Reset watermark!
#DoNotResetHWM
I did not spend 600+ hours grinding my gear to 600gs to have it reset.
Congratulations! 
I did not spend 500 hours grinding all my crafting skills to have the gear I made become useless.
Reset watermark or let crafters have their gear scale based on their crafting skill.
This is just like the Mini-Map nonsense. Cannot trust anything said in live chat. Needs an official response from a Dev.
I don’t see Watermark being reset - there is no need to since they are not changing the system, simply renaming it and adding an indicator. it all works the same.
The only reason for a reset was if they were actually changing the system and due to crappy coding it was too difficult to ‘transfer’ existing progress. Since that is not happening I find it unlikely a reset is coming.
Honestly this is the icing on the cake if they do this shit. I’ve already put in a few hundred hours I will have no problem uninstalling not looking back at this joke of a dev team. You are persistently screwing over the vast majority of your player base. Do you guys even play your game?
Come on AGS make my day tell us HWM is gonna be reset
Congratulations!
Yup, uninstall inevitable. They just pump out any piece of shit these days. Cash grab
All this dev team continues to do is smash this game into oblivion
