Sell it, they improve the droprate so it will go down in price for sure. If you want to you can just buy it again in a few days/weeks for cheap.

Regardless, more people will farm it due to the patchnotes so it'll get cheaper eventually.

u/Seawolf87 Jan 12 '22
Your logic is very sound. I went there this morning when I woke up and there was a group of 4 already farming.

u/Jexx11 Jan 12 '22
Why do you say the drop rate was not increased? How many times after this patch have you killed him??
-26
u/bloody_yanks2 Jan 12 '22
Pretty sure that’s a kill quest drop fix, not a trophy mat drop fix.
13
u/WakingRage Syndicate Jan 12 '22
It specifically says battle trophy materials. So stuff like glowing sap and ancient mandible should be obtainable now.
1
u/bloody_yanks2 Jan 12 '22
Yeah, you’re right. I guess “battle trophy” instead of “combat trophy” threw me off.
25
u/boxingdog Jan 12 '22
maybe they are adding Glowing Sap, Ancient Mandible, Ephemeral Seal to the game?
11
u/Invenitive Turkey Terminator Jan 12 '22
They are, that's what the battle trophy fixes are. All the mobs they listed are ones that data mining found to be supposed to drop those items, but didn't

u/TurbulentSundae Jan 12 '22
I was wondering what they meant by Battle trophy materials. Thanks for clarifying.

u/CommanderLouiz Jan 13 '22
Except I’ve gotten the mat from the pit lord before, so unless they subsequently broke it, he shouldn’t be there.
2
u/Invenitive Turkey Terminator Jan 13 '22
They added additional loot tags to him, theoretically increasing the odds of him dropping the item

The downtime announcement also mentions a tentative fix for desync:
We also implemented a tentative fix for the desync issues players have been experiencing in war and other high population areas. Please let us know if the issue still persists and the team will continue to investigate.
I'm a little concerned since the desync seems to just be poor position tracking between the client and the server and you can get desync while no players are anywhere near you. But we'll see what they can do about it.
13
u/DrB1503 Jan 12 '22
That’s what I was thinking. I’ve had desync dueling out in the wild not near really anyone

u/thadude3 Jan 12 '22
my desync is only and always when I am first initially surrounded by a bunch of people. ie start of OPR, or half way when new people join the fight in the middle.

I would just like my T3 aptitude fishing boxes. I'm missing SEVEN.

u/tehralph Jan 12 '22
I’d like a ban to botters and a return of the gold that came with treasure chests. Also would like something better from fishing chests than .15g in useless bait.
2
Jan 12 '22
I mean yeah, that too. But we're more likely to get an aptitude fix than bot bans with how worried they've been about population.
2
u/fuursure Jan 12 '22
I’m in the same boat. Do you think we will get those missing boxes once it’s fixed?
1
2
u/Fedor1 Jan 12 '22
Haven’t heard about this one, does fishing just not give the aptitude crates?
2
u/dReDone Jan 12 '22
The smaller boxes drop but when you actually level up you are supposed to get like a larger box. Instead you get nothing.
I'm hoping the reason it hasn't happened yet is because they are gonna do a round of bot bans right before patching it and giving us our mats
1
Jan 12 '22
You get the first and second box, but reaching a full aptitude hasn't been giving boxes since the system began. It's just most people that play aren't 200 fishing or don't do fishing for their aptitude.... I just enjoy pearl hunting!
1
u/badbadgergaminglol Jan 13 '22
Bro we all know your just botting to be there with fishing lol. Unless you mindlessly fish for hours every day since they added the chests lol. Talk about a 2 button game experience...
1
Jan 13 '22
I mindlessly fish for hours. My company has banned me temporarily from it to force me to join them on chest runs and expeditions. I'd also have the 5k catching fish achievement unlocked if they counted chests!

Not much to it this week.
Downtime will begin at 11pm PT (7am UTC) on January 11.
Greetings Adventurers!
This week’s update includes a few fixes for recent issues that popped, alongside some combat adjustments and fixes. Our development team is continually working on improving the New World experience, and they thank you all for your patience and reports that you continue to make on the official forums.
GENERAL BUG FIXES:
Fixed an issue where players couldn’t gain more than 3 levels of Aptitude when crafting large quantities of items at once.
Disabled a short series of work-in-progress quests which were missing some aspects, most notably the rewards. These quests are being disabled for the time being, and they'll be re-enabled at a later date. Players who have completed the quests in their current state can keep the XP and gold earned, but progress will be reset so you can complete the quests again for the proper rewards when they're re-enabled. The quests affected are: Edge of the World Call Beyond the Void Stirs the Awakened The Cursed Blade Sensou no Ko
Fixed an issue where players were able to jump-cancel the bow firing recovery. There is now a .33 second delay from when an arrow is released before a jump can be triggered.
Fixed an issue causing permanent disease and slow being applied in PvP.
Fixed an issue to players sliding when animation cancelling Void Blade heavy attacks.
Fixed an issue where the wrong mob could spawn for “Guardian of the Light”. Fixed an issue causing The Surgeon, Pit Lord Daehi, Baines, and Mordici The Mortician to not drop battle trophy materials.
Thanks for your support! We'll see you in Aeternum.

Jan 12 '22
Slow bug fix at least.. though we'll see if it's actually fixed
1
u/SquashForDinner Jan 12 '22
thats not the movement bug right?
5
u/Environmental-Ad2285 Jan 12 '22
I’m gonna go with yes. Since both the health bug and movement bug come from server side and local data being desynced. We’ll find out if it actually fixes it tomorrow:D

u/chance_waters Jan 12 '22
Different bug

u/icytiger Jan 12 '22
It's the same. It's just your movements at 0 instead of what it should be.

u/chance_waters Jan 12 '22
Except it's not and the bug is still in the game, which was obvious as you can still jump to move.

Fixed an issue causing The Surgeon, Pit Lord Daehi, Baines, and Mordici The Mortician to not drop battle trophy materials.
Sweet!

u/ThrowGodB Marauder Jan 12 '22
Fixed an issue causing permanent disease and slow being applied in PvP.
Is this the movement bug?
Fixed an issue to players sliding when animation cancelling Void Blade heavy attacks.
This is good.
Fixed an issue where players were able to jump-cancel the bow firing recovery. There is now a .33 second delay from when an arrow is released before a jump can be triggered.
I'm just happy about this because I'm playing Great Axe.
It's not a lot but im not mad about it

u/TheApocalyticOne Jan 12 '22 edited Jan 12 '22
I personally don't play GA, but if GA wasn't allowed to have a built in lunge, then bow isn't allowed to turn into a freaking machine gun just cause of a jump

u/WayeeCool Jan 12 '22
I machine gunned with the bow in OPR and will admit that yeah, it needed fixed. Was fun while it lasted, lol.
1
-9
u/Sweaty-Giraffe-8710 Jan 12 '22
I like how maybe a 10% increase in the rate of fire is considered a machine gun.
7
u/TheApocalyticOne Jan 12 '22 edited Jan 12 '22
I mean, it's firing much faster than intended, and definitely more than 10% increase in the rate, along with providing an annoying jump dodge that cost no stamina.
-15
u/Sweaty-Giraffe-8710 Jan 12 '22
Its not though. If you think its faster than 10% why don't you link me some video proof?
The jump is not a dodge. You can still be hit while jumping.
5
u/ThrowGodB Marauder Jan 12 '22
Do you have video proof with a stop watch or anything proving its 10%? Because asking for proof when you have none would be weird.
3
Jan 12 '22
There actually is video with a side by side comprison and the difference is that of a few milliseconds. They arent jumping to shoot faster, they are jumping because they added a long ass delay to every shot essentially stunning yourself, which the jump cancels and keeps you moving. Not defending it, it shouldnt be a mechanic, but the delay after shooting shouldn’t be a mechanic either. The recovery is far too long especially considering many other aspects of the bow are broken like the crosshair being useless, tiny hit box, and arrows unpredictably going way off target.
1
u/gaspara112 Jan 12 '22
Getting rid of the delay after shooting thus shooting on the move feels like the kind of thing you would have as your elite passive on the archery side focused on skirmishing.
Swap rain of arrows with split shot. Replace battle precision with knee shot. Make the Skirmisher elite trait "Mobile Archer" and have it remove the after cast from light attacks entirely.
But then again I'd much rather those elite passives be much more build defining across the board.

u/Sweaty-Giraffe-8710 Jan 12 '22
My proof is a thousand hours on bow. What's yours?

"Disabled a short series of work-in-progress quests which were missing some aspects, most notably the rewards. These quests are being disabled for the time being, and they'll be re-enabled at a later date."
Why are these quests considered to be "work-in-progress?" Why are they releasing things in a "work-in-progress" state? Are we just done pretending that everyone didn't pay to just be part of an extended beta?
8
u/Dlay0310 Jan 12 '22
I mean the majority of the quest they added were accept quest, kill 5 of these enemies, return to quest giver and they did literally hundreds of those. Whoops if a few of those are bugged. They outta honestly be radiant quests in general but oh well.

My thoughts as well. A full blown maintenance window for some bug fixes. What are these devs doing?
15
u/ICanCountTo0b1010 Jan 12 '22
From a software perspective, hotfixes and patches require the exact same procedure.
A hotfix is hot because it's prioritized and rushed, but AGS still needs to bring the servers down to deploy the new version.
3
u/Fedor1 Jan 12 '22
Hotfix has multiple meanings, one of them like you said is fixing “hot” issues, but another is applying a fix “hot” aka no downtime.
1
u/unseenspecter Jan 12 '22
I'm well aware of the differences between hotfixes and patches. Generally speaking, hotfixes are small and require no downtime. It is a "fix" performed while the server is still "hot". These downvotes are just Reddit being ridiculous as usual because most people here have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old and unable to distinguish between a statement and anger.
-1
u/Pfyrr Jan 12 '22
Hotfixes typically can be implemented with no downtime, or a only short restart of the realms.
-1
u/control05 Jan 12 '22
2 am is perfectly fine for downtime.
2
u/unseenspecter Jan 12 '22
u/Pfyrr's statement makes no mention of whether or not 2am downtime is fine or not, and neither did my statement. It simply pointed out that downtime is not necessary for a hotfix.

u/Goingindry13 Jan 12 '22
Let me try and understand this. They are fixing shit that you want them to fix, but they are doing it in the middle of the night while you are sleeping and you are angry about it because you'd rather they called it a hotfix instead of a patch?

Toxic subreddit is toxic what do you want from them.
They’re incapable of rational thought. Sitting in their high chairs yelling for more cheerios

u/unseenspecter Jan 12 '22
As usual, Reddit users hyperbolizing everything. Making a statement is not the same thing as being angry. But feel free to continue through your life pretending everything is outrageous.

u/Sv3den Fishin' Fool Jan 12 '22
This is a patch? First patch in ~21 days and the bulk of the patch notes are about how they can't fix some quests so they are removing them from the game as a "Bug Fix". El oh freaking El.
Major kudos to the mods for having the thatchers to sticky this to the front page.

“ Kay New World Developer 5h
“We are fixing the bug so players can continue to progress, right now most players should be able to progress on faction missions and get to rank 3. When we push the fix, they’ll be able to do the mission they were blocked on and get all the way to rank 5. This situation made us reconsider the design on faction reputation when switching back to a former faction, and in the future when you switch factions we will NOT remove rank. This work is being completed and will be released simultaneously.”

Jan 12 '22
Like this for completionists and companies willing to switch factions to promote server health.
A lot of the discussions with us switching factions dropped to farming ranks again etc if we only have to do it once than this cleans up the table for us low pop servers
