What is your character name in New World: Shiroe Dawson.
-
What server/world did you experience your issue on: Belovodye.
-
Describe the issue you are experiencing: Server Lag/Server Overload.
-
Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug or Exploit depends who you ask.
-
(if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
Can barely see where enemy players are exactly at any given time, considering their visible player model is desynced by about 5-10 seconds. Essentially meaning you’re shooting at where they were 5-10 seconds ago and who knows if they’re still there or not unless you fire and find out, most of the time leading to a miss. This is absolutely devastating for single target damage dealers, since they really can’t do damage to someone unless by sheer dumb luck. This also makes matters worse since it pushes people to using AoE abilities or weapons such as the Fire Staff or Ice Gauntlet, the latter of which seems to make the lag/player model desync so much worse. Which is really a shame since the Ice Gauntlet is such a great secondary to pair with a lot of different weapons for utility, but when everyone is running an Ice Gauntlet, as said before, it makes the problem so much worse.
The longer this bug/exploit goes unaddressed the worse this situation will get and the more people will stop playing the game. Wars are arguably one of the biggest game mechanics in New World. For that mechanic to be an unplayable mess is unacceptable. Amazon stopped/disabled Outpost Rush due to bugs that caused players to not have an enjoyable experience but Wars don’t get the same treatment? At least disable Wars for a bit until you can discover the issues and take measures to reduce them, if not outright fix them.
-
(if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Nope, this has been ongoing since launch, but has gotten progressively worse since there has been no intervention by Amazon and people have been using the Ice Gauntlet more and more.

(if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
Here’s what I experienced when the enemy team breached our fort’s gates:
- What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
I guess start a War lol, it happens in all of them regardless of if many people are using an Ice Gauntlet or not. But if you want the full effect, have a 50v50 War with everyone using Ice Gauntlets on one point and watch the slideshow unfold.
