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.

I think we will
You said I was “hurt” by PVP. WTH does that mean? I was obviously PVPing if you think I have been “hurt” by a playstyle. Were you “hurt” by PVE and decided to become a PVPer instead? You sound crazy. 
Again the word, “toxic” that I NEVER USED. You sound like you’re arguing with someone who hates PVP and doesnt want PVP servers, neither of which I am. Again, you sound crazy. There are plenty of people attacking PVPers in this forum, go argue with them before I block you.
Dude, you are SALTY as all hell. You found a thread from someone asking an honest question about the possibility of griefing on a PVP server and decided to take your fustrations out on them. WRONG THREAD. IDGAF about PVP in New World, its mediocre at best. Nothing to be hurt about. I have pvped in other games as well and had alot of fun with it, mainly because the classes were by far more balanced. I was honestly wondering how a situation of griefing would be handled. I have recvd piss-poor responses to that at best. It is absolutely no wonder why the devs were forced to change the direction of the game from Full-on PVP to consensual. They obviously couldn’t come up with a sufficient solution to griefers themselves!
So stop derailing my thread. One more stupid comment and you are blocked. I feel like I’m talking to a very disturbed person. And you are obviously the type of player that loves to grief. This much I know, cause you sound like a nut.
Thank you! I can envision that too, thats why I started the thread. How will this be dealt with? I have gotten nothing but weak answers and derailing from the PVPers that have responded.
2 part answer there for you.

We cant demand that type of answer from the playerbase. We all know its an issue but its not up to us to fix it. We are not the game devs

This is a none existing problem since there is no PvP servers. But musket in general need a fix/balance. Its up to DEVS to find that balance.
This is something you decide to deal with when/if you turn on pvp. If you CBF then its one simple fix for it at this time. Just turn off PvP. This is one of many reasons i dont want a PvP forced server.
