Chopping Macro: is it still fair and approved by ToS?

Hi there,

What I will type here is a question who I got after reading here:

Fair macro use? - Game Support / English Support - New World Forums

So, check it out before joining here, please. :slight_smile:

My question is pretty simple: I’d like to make a macro which could help me logging trees better by pressing an additional key (SPACE) after the first chop.
Such macro would be played only when my LMB is clicked and for every interaction.

Actually this replicates exactly what I actually do with my own hands and the macro would be played in such exactly way and timings (what I get out of it is just the ability to avoid to keep pressing 2 keys but 1)

I guess the scope of the macro is pretty clear so I will not discuss it further.
The software I’d use for doing so is the Logitech one which has a tool inside for creating macros and bind them to the mouse.

So, is it allowed? If I get banned by it, will I be able to contest it?

Thanks <3

Hi!

In this case as was mention in the other thread you can use that kind of macros as long as it’s not to gain any form of advantage over other players.

I understand how Logitech software works, and it cannot interfere with the game, but just be wise on what you do and how you do it.

Aw <3 Loving you for such a quick reply.

Well, how do I actually check if it is or not “a form of advantage over other players”?
I cannot really be sure of the macro I have described before.
I mean, maybe the fact that I stress my middle finger for pressing the SPACE key could be in some way an advantage over other players who will not do it.
This could seem like a dumb sentence but the advantage as a definition is pretty borderline.

Moreover, If I get to be banned due to the use of such macro with a good-will intention, how the whole thing would be dealt by the team who actually manage ban contests?
I mean, will linking them this whole conversation help me out if I get to be banned due to the anti-cheat software detecting or reporting this whole thing?

I’m a really honest guy who plays fair and wanna continue like that. That’s why I’m asking ya this.

Is hard for me or any moderator to tell you what kind of macros are allowed because at the end that’s dev decisions. Is on your own criteria that you need check if that can give you any advantage.

And if by any chance you get banned for anything, what you need to do is to appeal for that using this link:

Thank you much!

I already knew I could appeal a ban since I did that some times ago when I got 1 day banned for offensive chat without having ever typed compromised things (blasphemies, profanity and so on).
The reply I got was “no further informations will be given, accept your punishment” or something like that.
But that’s not the point of this topic :slight_smile:

Is there a way I could reach out the Dev Team in order to have an official statement about this? I wanna be really sure I will not be banned for such macro or at least I’d win an appeal if needed.

Now you could ask me, why bore yourself doing so? 'cause I’m a lazy smart guy.

The answer I received is the same as in the other thread, Logitech software is not an invasive software and will not going to interfere with the game. But as I mention you before, at the end you need to use your own criteria to know if that could give you or not any advantage.

Aight. Is it the same for even Corsair iCUE and Cooler Master Masterplus+? :slight_smile:
