I feel like bow/musket users never understand never bring a knife to a gunfight… legit can sit back 100yrds and peg people… rapier as soon as anyone touches you or even looks at you… it’s meme at best and terrible game design that allows people to think they’re good XD
I am only playing musket, but with the trap tree, I just find it enjoyable to play that tree cause u are mostly close range, but I got to say, the weapon is not designed for that, musket needs some changes, in my opinion, less range and make it more engaging in close range, like people can roll throughout ur trap and negate all ur nade damage, which is kinda lame as hell.
non the less, the musket is really in need of an overhaul, with what we have now, no one is happy.

I go mid as a musket, pretty fun. Stand in the corner picking players off. Or stand on fort wall if I can get away with it.
Spend most of my time trying to burst down healers with a sticky combo.
I like when players think I’m aim botting. Means I’m comparable to a program that aims for you 
Players that want rapier nerfed.
Go for it, I’ll just make you even more upset by switching to ice gauntlet. Only difference is that I’ll be more focused on kiting you, instead of getting within melee range to give you a chance of comboing down my 7100 to 8500 health.
Oh no, you caught me in a grav well or a slow from LOD. Ice tomb makes me invulnerable, heals me, and cleanses all debuffs.
Go for it…nerf rapier.

All melee players should be just like dummy in fort
uhhhh. I’m a long time fps enjoyer and know for a fact there are very obvious aim hack abusers in New World. It’s stupid easy to tell and so easy for said abusers to simply say they have great aim. The unfortunate truth is that there is no actual way for players to “prove” it, so we hope devs will. But you know how that goes, and those abusers are taking advantage of that fact. Of course there are false accusations, but your head is in the sand (or you’re one of them) if you say it’s not an issue.
MMMMMMMMNnnnaahhhhhhh
Life Staff is still bonkers, with or without rapier. Arenas specifically need a built-in game mechanic just to put a little pressure on healers. That’s damning evidence on its own even if you don’t believe the countless other videos and complaint threads.
so, are they the ones who want to kill you when you’re already in the middle of 3 or 4 guys alone who come to lecture? the muskets like the melee to fight each other, while they do their big ranking without taking any risks
You just gave me the best idea ever.
AGS, please rework factions as follows:
Mage players
Melee players
Musket/bow/rapier players
I 100% believe that if this was an option, everyone will know their place in the game and who the enemy is…
We already have wars on the forum between these factions, would be amazing if we can bash our nemesis in game as well…
range hate melee, melee hate range, mages hate everybody…it’s a complete cycle

This got me thinking…
And you’re absolutely freaking right lmao.
I think you missed a really good one called nvidia inspector.You know the one that works to the advantage of musket players?
Are you a musket player? This is how you want to play
- Sit on top of tall rock 200+m away. Infinite ammo.
- Hitscan, no damage drop off. Greatest enemy is render distance setting.
- 5 con, would be 0 but they force you to have 5. Everything for damage.
- Never be approached. Having to move means melee is OP.
- The hell is this thing you call a “point” and what do you mean by “capping”?
- Do this for 30 minutes or until OPR is over.

Im around 1600 hours only played musket for like 1550 hours lately switched to bow as Im not playing that much anyway so I would like to enjoy it a little. And damn even a nerfed bow is still outclass the musket in every possible way.
Accuracy sometimes even better with heavy attacks than I do with musket because of the gigantic hitbox and the nature of projectiles and rate of fire.
Damage output? about twice as much with the bow, and I have an actual kill potential not just poking people who sometimes didnt even bother healing or didging even after multiple hits from shooter stance froma 625 bis geared musketeer.
I love the musket but lately its got so much nerf even though it was the weakest weapon to begin with, now its reached the point where its not even fun anymore. I mean the musket never been a strong weapon it was always the underdog in any fight but it was kinda fun, now its just annoying.
I hope they will rework it or buff it because now its just simply an unusable troll weapon. Who the hell thought to only give on avg 2k dmg to a weapon that have a pixel hitbox, and a 2sec reload and no mevement or utility ability? Even the bow hits over 4k consistently and i can shoot 3 times while the musket shoot once.
I don’t know what’s going on with this game lately, but the musket guys are not missing a shot and from all sorts of range. The damage is insane, paired with a rapier you they seem invincible range or close. They’re dominating OPR’s
Not going to flame too much, will give this game ago again, but range seems to be the meta for sure if you want to run solo or two mans in OPR
There are dozens of sites that sell aimbots.
They all have to develop those and pay upkeep for their selling infrastructure.
How do they do that if no one buys? Well…they do sell a lot 
Dont get confused by all the people complaining they got banned for hacking while they did nothing. They are just thowing sand in your eyes.
Soon there will be the next banwave and it will be better. Until the cycle starts again.
AGS has to dish out permabans, the penalties are not heavy enough.
im not a musket player… i suck at aiming. i cant shoot sh.t unless ppl stay still…
still i agree with you
all the ppl crying and wants to nerf musket bow etc.
all those ppl who want nerf are just ppl with hurt egos because they couldnt win…
they cant take it … that there are ppl out there that they cant win against…
so they are trying to make other ppl less effective…
AGS should NOT listen ppl who wants any kind of nerf…
Like I said in the other thread, I have no idea if they’re aimbotting, seems to be a lot of musket players can’t miss. I just assumed it’s too easy to hit moving targets!
OP has a few points but this is way too accurate xD
I cant blame musket for being musket but that behavior is text book.
It’s pretty bad. In my experience, the better the musket player, the more salty they get too. The good ones are simply so used to just not dying very much to the point that if you (as a melee) kill one even just a few times you start getting absolutely flamed, targeted, and generally pestered. Because how dare you, a melee, be able to kill them

The character model movement in New World is pretty slow. It’s not too hard to track. Also, you cannot really “ADAD” spam in New World like you can in other games.
Additionally, a lot of new world players do not dodge efficiently. They run in straight lines, do not utilized shift, and, if they do use shift, they use it in a predictable way. A lot of people also exhausted themselves (use dodge too much), which makes them a free kill if they are in light armor. Moreover, a lot of players do not seem to understand how to use cover/line of sight to push range players. If I had to guess, many MMORPG players are not also FPS players. They may play FPS games casually, but not very competitively.
A MMR system would solve a lot of these problems, but the player population is probably too low right now to do such a thing. People now a days are used to playing with similar skilled opponents. It’s rare for games to lump all skill levels together, so I think people are not familiar with it.

Yeah I worry I’m going to get banned as I keep getting dm’d for supposedly hacking…. If I was hacking and missed this many shots I’d ask for a refund
