the graphics thing concerning the less visible spells wont effect the musket that much that was the point of what i replied (actually its a benefit since you can actually see clearer when aiming in crowds)

i already replied earlier that the proper way to deal with aimbots is proper detection and punishment.
Im playing on full low too, bushes and things aren’t even loading after like 20m. Maybe one here and there.
Remove the aiming, make the skill based on auto lock enemies in a aoe area in front of the player. Like the spellslinger in WildStar. This 100% removes the feasability of aimbots, and also stops people from whining about muskets beeing out-of-place (which it isn’t IMHO)
On these two things nobody disagrees, the point I was making is that these settings only benefit Musket users and if used by the general population would be seen as more of a “disadvantage” so in a broad perspective, it really doesn’t do much.
Yep. Any time I see someone claim aim bot, I know they just salty cause they got blapped by a musket and just need a hit of super copium

Actually, every topic mentioning aimbots gets immediately attacked by a lot of musket users. That already proves everything.
it proves the rest of us are sick of eating nerfs because of whiney ass holes. yes there are some issues in the game that needs a fixin and that includes nerfs
musket isnt entirely one of them. the biggest issue the musket has is that it is a one way interaction unless you your self have a ranged weapon. thats about it. the damage it shite against anything that isnt light armor. it requires a shit ton of good aim and multiple hits to start getting into the mythical 1 shot, but the problem is that it is designed not to engage in the fight in any other meaningful way that isnt just head tapping only.
about as much of an issue that the GA is only really there for the grav well or the IG with ice wall.
those two though engage only slightly more with the rest of the game so is used far more. and get noticeably more hate than the musket even between its other GA/IG people.
a musket v musket fight is at the least engaging for its own little microcosm.
muskets do need a rework. it does not need a nerf
cheaters need to be dealt with in its own proper way.

So basically, feedback from players over an online forum is enough “evidence” to prove anything? I guess you can call yourself the President of whatever country you’re in and that already proves everything? 
I might as well make false claims like musket one-tapping people in the head for 12k damage as well! Hopefully that is EVIDENCE enough! yes please nerf the least used weapon in the game, kill the weapon, kill the other weapons as well while you’re at it, nerf everything you can’t personally beat until nothing is playable only the weapon you yourself use
Wut. No it doesn’t LOL. I don’t even main musket my guy
You realize they “attack” because people are crying for nerfs when none are needed. People just need to organize more in OPR.
However most pickup OPRs peeps are just farming for the drops, so most don’t care about winning or losing.
With the new system hopefully that’ll change.

Nobody wants them unneccessary nerfs, most especially if the weapon being called for nerf is the least used weapon in the game afterall. There’s already too few users for AGS to collect enough data for them to even properly balance / rework the weapon lmao.
I can tell you this much, the devs actually did not play the weapon themselves long enough to know what’s really wrong with its gameplay, how its kit just doesn’t fit and how clunky it feels compared to rest of the other weapons.

the problem with the musket is that it has no place outside of 3 situations
- killing small animals to farm
- a VERY small select group of people to run and shoot siege and after thats done switch back to melee dps
- opr sniper rocks.
that’s the only reason to ever run it.
im surprised they even had usage data tbh.
Agreed, the funny part is that you can only find Musket content off youtubers / specific small amount of streamers (you can probably count them on 1 hand) and they all have one thing in common (they have good aim) I haven’t watched a streamer / content creator make content about the Musket while being a complete casual or just overall your average joe. They definitely won’t have content for it because it’s NOT FUN to play Musket for your average mountain andy.
A lot of people claim its easy to sit 100meters away and shoot people (thinking they would land most of their shots) when in practicality they miss most of them, and the few lucky shots they do land end up being featured in a forum post as “AIMBOT” or Musket being OP just because they got shot 3 times out of 15 shots from your average mountain andy.
When it removes “cover” it’s a clear advantage particularly to the musket.
You do realize if you get hit by powderburn your nameplate continuously shows up right? Even if you hide across a bunch of foliage your nameplate can be seen and you can still be shot. Plus, lowering graphics settings doesn’t “remove” cover, it doesn’t remove walls off the outpost or walls off the fort.
But yes, I guess most people wouldn’t know the basic mechanics of how a musket functions which is why they assume such as an advantage. Despite the fact, regardless of whether you are on low or ultra settings, if someone is hit by a powder burn dot, their nameplates would be visible and can easily be shot through foliage regardless of your excuses.
Just the very fact that people would argue “oh you can easily see people hiding in foliage because of this” acting like people actually do this in a WAR? I have never personally, in over hundreds of wars, seen any gameplay where people “hide” under foliages to remain undetected?
Even while there are no nameplates as you are proned, do you seriously believe people won’t notice players prone on the ground with a GIANT HAMMER sticking out like a sore thumb sheathed behind their character?
Or maybe people complain that they can be spotted proning under a tree in an OPR when the objectives are to fight for outposts? What are you going to get done for your team by proning under grass? That’s right, nothing much lmfao.

Have you seen videos when the application in question, I’m not going to name it, it removes many parts of the maps which are purely visual and makes it far easier to see
You can’t really argue that it’s not an advantage.
I’ve confirmed one thing for sure, this application you speak of, does not need to be active for the graphic settings to apply. So you can’t really argue with me that you know what you’re talking about. Just the mere fact that you believe this program needs to run in the background for this to happen is already erroneous.
I’ve never seen the game run natively like it does with the application enabled.
Yes because you haven’t actually used the program to know how it works right? You don’t even know that the very simple procedure for this is no different than you actually going to your desktop right now, launching your graphics control panel settings and modifying everything in there to set your game to run for full performance mode with quality being set for max performance instead of the opposite? The software in question functions the exact same way but offers advanced features that are available to your graphics card.
Similar to how people overclock their GPUs, they restart their PCs, go over their BIOS settings and tweak their GPU and Memory clock settings there.
And out of how many gamers out there actually have the knowledge to manipulate their control panel settings?
The only real solution is to stop playing PvP in NW and go to a real PvP game where they actually care about such issues, don’t waffle and waste time with “we’re in discussion”.
Since launch, AGS has shown they don’t really care about cheaters and exploiters and would rather let the resulting gameplay experience obliterate their player base.
Officially an EXPLOIT but where are the BANS? - Game Feedback / Game Feedback - New World Forums
Stop playing PvP. Once the queues stop popping AGS will finally have to do something, or just delete PvP.
If you joined a tournament, and there were cheaters, but the organizers turned a blind eye to it or were unacceptably slow in responding… would you continue to get screwed in every match and be laughed at by cheaters? Or ask for a refund and leave? If you didn’t get a refund, would you still continue or play your sport elsewhere, in a properly run legitimate tournament?
Sure AGS should do more, but you can also have more self-respect for your time and go to a better managed PvP game.
Oh wow I didn’t know about this. I do wish New World though would let us customize our own crosshairs though or at least some like color and tweak the look some. Not talking about going overboard like in Valorant/CS:GO
