Siege weapons don't place and shots don't register

  • What is your character name in New World: Jorgenson
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Valhalla
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:

Siege weapons will often not place in war. You place it and it gets the white border like a campfire, waiting for you to back up. You back up, but it never places - it stays with the white border and never completes.

They also will not register most of their hits, once placed.

Video attached for repeaters, but all of the siege weapons suffer from both the placement and hit registration issues. I suspect this is the same issue that causes the firestaff skill “fireball” to simply go into the ground and not impact.

  • Is this a bug or an exploit: bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Makes siege weapons near useless.
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:

Hard to see, but note the multiple placed repeaters not finishing. Its hard to tell from this gif, but the placements never finished, even after we pushed up and won the war (and no one was within 20 feet).

For the hit registration: note the ammo count decreasing, but no hits:

    Place a repeater in a war.

Shoot the repeater at something.

This is kind of a big deal, makes attacking nearly impossible with the current state of defender cannons. Would be good to get this acknowledged
