As a heavy armour enthusiast this is pleasing. After 1300 hours i always have a greater desire to leave the game because of a light armour meta that easily beats heavy armour.
i think they should remove straight up the bonus dmg on light equip. You cant just have the highest mobility and highest damage in the game while being impossible to hit because rapiere and minimum 3 ultra long roll, and with no assassin archetype.
Heavy needs more resistances or bonus to armor like light has dmg increase. There’s literally no reason to play heavy anymore
so 300 strg and 210 con on light armore easy beat 300 strg and 210 con … talking just pure auto fight not spells… is that real??? not talking about dogge or any bonus WTF this???
or this game is just for light armore users??
and top of that if u think is just that good check playesr numbers overall 15k ??? wtf AGS WEAK UP!!! dont bring playes music and kow poo fix the dam game make it good !!!
the best thing to do in this game is collect flowers …nice 
I don’t think this is what AGS wanted,
The light armour boost is out of control. Many players like this style of play, But I, for example, do not.
I have been playing heavy armour in MMORPG since 2008. Light armour is my natural enemy. Unfortunately, they are now everywhere with incredible damage and defensive values.
AGS has announced that they want to make heavy armour competitive again. They are advised to do so, because many heavy armour enthusiasts are pissed off and looking for game alternatives.
The only thing saving New World is the great graphics and combat system, if it wasn’t for that they would have lost even more players.
@AGS
Take this seriously and fast. Time is running out and you lose every day more Gamers .
There is hard cap on what more armor gives so wont work.
Heavy is already super tanky. Issue is you all want to use heavy no matter what. Where in fact it does require small closed spaces like spots in wars. You cant as a bruiser expect to catch up bow player. Its so stupid that kinda funny.
Put medium/light armor if you want fight light armor users. And use heavy where it supose to work. Simple? You think its funny when i crit for 500dmg as a mage vs heavy user on dust T5? No its not. But i know reason why he needs to be so tanky so i dont cry on forum: please nerf heavy its to tanky.
Thank you for your opinion but NO.
This will not be accepted. We will not give up the heavy armour because it suits other players. NO.
And we will announce this loudly here in the forum. Whether you like it or not.
There are plenty of games where heavy armour works.
The last alternative is to leave the game. Then nobody wins because the player numbers are lower every day.
You can cry as much as you can. If you cant undestand why heavy armor cant be as mobile as light armor im sry but you are not smart person.
You can play any armor/build you want. Just dont cry other ppl kick you ass.
So my last answer for you NO
I have a clear opinion that cannot be shattered in any case.
Mate, if you crit heavy for 500 dmg you need to stop using green items…gem dust or not, mages crit heavy for 1k+. Also no one uses gem dust jn OPR and in arena you can’t use it at all …
Second, no one said heavy armor needs to one shot other players, but you saying heavy should stand no chance against light due to mobility issues is a testament of your lack of experience with MMORPG games…
As medium player I never had any problem with light armor melee player. It’s just annoying that they run away after some hits.
No, he is right. Heavy armor people in fortify are crit for like 500-800. Yes, there are some try hards that use dust in OPR. Its pretty pathetic actually, Soon you will be able to in Arenas as well.
I’ve crit people for 600 range with a 625 laz bow. Mage does less damage than bow.
For all the talk how sad heavy armor is, it takes forever to widdle them down and the healers just insta heal their health. Light armor has to be able to get away because they are easily toast if mobility was the same.
I mean you need better gear if in heavy on T5 dust mages do hit u for 1k lol.
And T5 dust will be open to use in arena next patch.
Second: sure lets make heavy super tanky, but min. -50% to dmg
5 resilient, 622 GS, 1.7k elemental armor and 15% fire resist. Never got hit under 1.2k, I get hit for 1.8-2k by fs heavy attacks when I have rend on me.
That’s fine, as long as they keep the gap closing and cc
