The sinister merchants cabal has been revealed!
I’m not thinking about winning or losing an OPR, but the negative impact the bow has on the game.
When you add a strong, easy-to-play weapon that doesn’t depend on a healer and has high mobility, we have the vast majority of solo players opting for the easiest one, which is the bow.
Bruiser doesn’t do anything on his own, he totally relies on healer, this discourages the bruiser player from going solo in OPR, resulting in an OPR with only bows, muskets and mages.

Yeah I think many of them aren’t using headphones cuz I just sprint right up behind them and they don’t budge. Not all of them though, we do have several muskets that run OPR all the time who are very aware.
Inb4 dex players start complaining “whatabout bruiser pre-made stacks!!1!”
Yeah bruisers don’t queue solo OPR anymore because musket/bow griefers ruined OPR for any other build. They have no choice but to play in a stack with a healer or else they’ll get turned into a pincushion before even getting inside mid.
Mage since launch. Swing & a miss.
Closer, bad part was wrong both times though. Come to think of it, even an average melee or mage is better than dex, since they, you know, actually get slotted for wars. OPR heros are a dime a dozen.

I don’t know - feather dusters can feel pretty good…
“BOW OP NERF NERF NERF” yet you kill them all? how strange?
Forum babies always complain instead of learning and adapting to out play they always need their weapon to be better.
The “Nerf RAPIER” is more “MY GREATAXE CAN GET A FREE SWING ON 8K HP PLAYER UNFAIR I SHOULD HAVE THAT KILL FOR FREE”

Every weapon hits hard when you dump all your points into 1 attribute. Bows do it because they’re at range. It’s also why it’s considered a DPS class. Dump all your points into STR and swing an axe around. You’ll find it does high numbers really fast in close quarters. Even a BB can kill most bows in 1-2 shots because of a bow’s lack of CON.

“easiest” rofl. most bows miss 90% of their shots. only the ones who’ve stuck with it since launch are deadly. it’s literally the hardest weapon to land a hit. fs and musket are 100x easier.
LMAO XD.
But to return to the topic
Dont nerf weapons, nerfs the LoS.
Opr is broken not the weapons used in it.
The game mode has the caused so many “nerf this weapon” posts and needs to be fixed asap.
Im sure pot usage has gone up dramatically too since bow meta and its costing me so much.
I hope GS turns things around tbh…
Make this post great again !
I didn’t read 134 pages of comments, ranged weapons don’t need nerfs, they are intended to function like they are supposed to.
Look at the real world, there is a reason why every nation uses guns instead of spears. It is easier to kill someone with a gun from a distance than a spear at melee.

Because they are a brainlet and don’t understand the basic concepts of logic and rational thinking. These are the low hanging fruit players New World caters to. Anyway bow nerfs incoming anyways so this is a moot point now.
If you want to play anything other than healer or melee bruiser and be viable for PvP. I guess New World is not the game for you. Take measures to have fun playing your playstyle of choice.
Some people need a buff, but as it’s seems not possible at the moment they ask to nerf others.
And stop mix things together, bow is fine now, opr aren’t.

I don’t agree, i love to kill archers and musketeers, people just need to learn how to counter them.
Of course some players are really good and still kill me but that’s part of the game

Bow is definitely out of whack. The problem is weapons like bow/musket, that if you are very skilled (or use an aimbot), suddenly the weapon is outrageously overpowered, while for the normal player it might even be underpowered.
