New World is not a PVP game. Its intention was, but ironically it was PVPers griefing newbies that got the game changed, we all read the article on that. And its only a breath of fresh air if you are running the meta in PVP. Anything other than that has lots of issues based on the forum posts I have seen. Melee, tanks are pretty much a waste of a slot in OPRs. As far as balance, I think MANY players would beg to differ.

You asked why. I told you why. You can go on and make claims like this isn’t a PvP game despite AGS making it very clear that PvP is still a major part of the game, and you can express an opposing opinion, but I’m not here to prove to you that I like NW PvP and would prefer to play on a PvP server. If you don’t like PvP (which apparently you don’t if you’ve only just now tried OPR), that’s fine, and what’s also fine is opening PvP servers, because PvP servers would not impact your gameplay at all.

Whos arguing AGAINST PVP servers? I wish they would make one so pvp sweats would move on to another topic. I ASKED how is PVP balanced? And wouldn’t being on a PVP server make it more difficult? All I got is that its “content” and perhaps they could kill griefers. So if you like it, I love it. Apparently for you, PVP imbalance is NOT an issue for PVPers, even though there are constant posts on the forums complaining about PVP balance. Make it make sense, I’m done.
Wasnt a bow on Long range it’s really hard to Hit multiple Hits with a bow, cause you need to predict movement and arrows are slow. Maybe a musket. With hitscan it’s easy. Cursor on target and click.
If someone Camps an entrance Go Back and Take another on or Port somewhere and move from that point
Tbh the PvP balance is pretty good once you know what you’re doing
I don’t feel like there’s many match up I just lose to shit players because they are running a good built

I think PVP in this game is fairly balanced. It’s kind of difficult to tell, especially when there is such a wide range of skill, most players being on the low end.

Kind of like OPR is completely optional but people complain anyway?
Ranged has always had the upper hand in small open world PvP. This iteration of the game is definitely more balanced than what we have seen. Gone are the days where someone can be naked life staffing people 1v1 to death only using light dodges.
It definitely would require players to have a rounded out build with ranged options or else be farmed.
World pvp it’s the best pvp in this game. I levelled up in wow many characters only on pvp servers and got ganked as well so that’s no problem at all. New world it’s beautiful and creates brilliant environment for massacres 
OPR isn’t an accurate way to depict how balanced pvp is.
You instantly complain about bow/musket with OPR, BUT you may only see 2-4 of them, in a 50 person roster in wars.
I’m going to use wars to portray how balanced weapons are, and suggest more buffs to bow/musket, so they have a more viable purpose, instead of just siege and squishy killers in wars.
See how silly it sounds?
Different weapons shine in different aspects of game play. Except for a couple melee when paired with a competent healer. That’s OP everywhere 
OPR just needs cross server and match making.

With current damage numbers you can literally pressure a healer with range and kill his pro melee friends. Damage it’s insane now
…lol There would still be safe areas. You would still be able to port in and out of sanctuaries. The only difference is that you auto flag when you leave out of the settlement… That’s it. If you’re getting greifed you can always recall back home and be in the settlement. So I dont understand where youre getting the “no safe zones” from.
You’re obviously not a pvper so I wont fault you for thinking that the imbalance is so large that you just can’t do anything. Muskets are the only problem however. They’ve needed a rework since this game came out.
I would sweat it out happily. Also you do realize some of the most veiwed and played games are pvp right? Rust, League, Warzone, Battlefield… yeah they arent MMOs but thats not to say PvPers dont exist. In fact the biggest thing thats still holds OSRS up is the PvP. And least we forget our roots as MMO gamers… Ultima Online was a literall PvP game.
You sound like you’ve been hurt in PvP before and therefore refuse to imagine some players have greater fortitude when it comes to getting dumpstered. I can garuntee 1 pvp per most regions would be a massive success.
It’s not really the fact that they want PvP servers. It’s the fact that everyone wanting always flagged PvP servers are sheep that think they’re going to be the wolves of the server and gank the others.

Huh? Dude, you sound silly. I’m not a PVPer in New World. I think I stated that I only did OPR seriously last week (the game has been out for a year). Nothing to get hurt about here, it was simply an observation. Now YOU on the other hand sound salty that some players dont want PVP servers. Please go and take it up with them, I could give AF. I got the somewhat answer I came for in the thread, as I said to the other poster, You like it, I love it.
PvP server have 2 positive sides.
- fun for the few
- no bots!!!
Personally i would hate it, musket players on each mountain top near all orichalcum ore and lodestones.

Never called you a PvPer it’s blatantly obvious that you’re not. The simple fact is that you can’t imagine other players (mainly PvPers) not being scared of dealing with some toxic behavior in the hopes of a PvP server.
You’ve been hurt by PvP at some point that has led you down the rabbit hole of thinking “all PvPers are toxic” and “thus a sever filled with it would just breed toxicity”. I’ve seen more toxic behavior from the PvE community when I farm or attempt to do mutations.
I think AGS might have enough attention on the subject for them to reconsider. So no saltyness from me. I think it’s a great idea that should have been implemented from the start.
Assuming that PvP servers would be as easy as removing the toggle and just setting the flag to on for everyone, I don’t care if they do it. It seems like it won’t cost too much resources for them to do it.

Open world pvp is the best thing this game has to offer next to 3v3 arena.
