replace Arc with BB/Hachet/GS and you will understand that your speech is just as valid with it.
Ok, let’s go back to the arc of the very beginning, I’m for it, but you won’t have to complain anymore afterwards, because you’ll clearly get OS with the last perks combined with the damage of the arc of the beginning.
I don’t think you realize how much damage the arc was nerfed.
It was very slow and with little aim, but it had +50% damage. I made a post in French about it and I’ll show you all the majors about the bow, you’ll be surprised.
Man, you really understand the situation.
The OPR is the only place where the musket can play. It’s the same story with the bow, but the bow is still good in the arena. In all other content we have only crap melees… Already added slow from every melee attack… What do all the idiots on the melee weapons still want? Want to get the ranged weapons removed from the game? To leave only the gachi-party on swords and hammers?
Muskets and Bows still get war slots, but I get your frustration.
Bow has too much built in haste and musket is musket with its issues.
The problem people complain about these 2 specifically in OPR is when you have to many of these weapons on one team, that team loses and the game play becomes so boring. You rarely see a bow playing objectives and you never see muskets. It just makes OPR feel like a waste of time with to many of them.
But if they actually made some sort of comp and limited roles per OPR I don’t think we’d be having as many issues as you see now. I think a majority of the issues are down to no role queue. I mean bows and muskets would then complain they have to wait hours for OPR cause there are more of them then slots for each OPR, but honestly it would make the games way more engaging
I’m certainly no expert, but 7 of the 14 weapons in the game are melee weapons, my friend. Enough. Melee is already terribly popular in the new world.
So in our game, people probably play mostly for melee because there are more choices and variations of builds with melees weapons.
And obviously it’s a lot easier to play with melee than with any other weapon. All you need to be good at is dodging. That’s all there is to it. The rest things game will do everything for you.
Aim? Why, there’s a nice auto-aiming and pulling to the target as much as 3 meters away when you press any attack.
The effect of fps or ping? No, it doesn’t affect the guys at the miles. It’s not like they have to aim…
90% of the controlling abilities on melee weapons. And okay if you could only use 1 melee weapon, but a full melee player uses 2 melee weapons. This gives a huge scope for controlling the enemy and combat in general.
Have ranged run away all the time before? Not a problem. Now there’s a slow from every attack. Isn’t that enough? Here’s an extra reduction in dodge distance from a melee attack. From every melee attack.
Want to participate in any content with your big sword and hammer? Yes please. You will be welcome absolutely everywhere. From war to farming mobs.
that’s why players love melees so much…

0:17 NERF GS TOO STRONG
some range defenders:
Look how high his defense is. He dies with 2 hits. It should be with 1 hit.
some range defenders:
Musket and bow are normal They don’t give us slots for war and PVE
yes you can kill someone with 2 hits but we can’t go to war (lie) we can’t enter PVE it’s unfair
so Musket and Bow should be Buffed and killed with 1 hit, not 2
give us the AWP in CSGO (now, they have SSG09 :D… no joke
2shot:D)
GS: They don’t take us to war either.
Ranges: shut up. You still need to get nerfed because no melee should be able to catch us, it’s so abnormal

His aim is really good, bravo to him. It is rare to see such good legitimate.
His buff list makes me wonder, I hope he doesn’t use the use bug with the hashet :p.
And yes the axe does everything here, the bow is only used to finish the targets. (+auto stack in X10)
Of course, it shows only the good moments.(opr in which his team dominates the other)
In the arena, it’s strange that he doesn’t focus, but it’s because of the psychological effect of the axe and his death challenge.
Thanks for proving that a melee weapon changes the whole gameplay
For me it proves two things:
- the axe is the most stupid crutch in the game.
- the pvp ring perk is completely smoked and desert the distance image.
Dude, don’t talk to me about convenience. I have the bow build and play it occasionally, it’s really easy
Back side wait, aim and shoot.
When the Assassin arrives, use social distancing with the hatchet, then swap bow and dodge with tons of haste.
no one can catch you
50 cons 450 dex
The bow I use is Enchanted/Attument Epic 625
ranking top 5
tons of free damage
now let’s come to Melee
i play GS/Hatchet
150con 150dex 200str Light armor
This build is Assassin build
max damage paper defance
I die in less than 1 second when I make a mistake
this is because i am light armor and GS -15% defense feature
i die instantly
ie very high risk, very high reward
And I want to add that in order to kill Bruise players, you need to kill the healer, so when the healer makes a mistake, the Bruiser dies directly. high risk high reward
but range classes can escape really easily.
like oil 
you can’t catch
because he has tons of Haste abilities
this is really stupid
especially if he plays Rapier and plays well… literally immortal
low risk, very high reward Musket and bow build is exactly that.
No one can escape from the Musket players… 2-3 hits 1 kill
When we get into a mid-fight, sometimes we suddenly die at full health without realizing what is happening. by bow :))
because bow can kill in 2 hits can kill suddenly
hahahahahah dude just hahahahahahaha
NO ONE CAN BE BLIND AS WHO DOESN’T WANT TO SEE =)
No need for further discussion. If I showed you tons of examples here, you wouldn’t understand because you don’t want to see it.

Yup you’re right, every other build has some risk. The range builds just don’t have to deal with risk like other builds, they don’t play objectives and always want to maintain distance so they don’t die.
Their only threat is other dex. They think it’s assassin builds, but that’s just their lack of awareness and letting them close a gap. If they looked in their direction they’d be dead before they reach them
I used the musket almost exclusively for a little over a year.
Then I played melee for about a month, and discovered how unbalanced range dex (bow/musket) is in comparison to melee.
I haven’t played new world in a few weeks now.
It is NOT a competitive pvp game, and I didn’t fully realize that until playing melee for a bit.

Yes, the key word here is aim. You know what I mean?..
Under very favorable conditions. Target needs to be less than a 100 constitution, with 1-2 or zero resilient. The archer must aim and hit the head. By the way, aim. I’ll mention that word again, for those who will be reading this post besides you, because most likely players on purely melee weapons are not familiar with it.
And most likely an archer under empovers stacks. At that point any weapon will kill you in two hits. Most likely the GS will just oneshot you.
Attention, I do not say that in the current version of NW, there are no worries with the musket and the bow: I say that the problem does not come from the distant weapons, but from the perks around.
The musket should have a real projectile, with speed and bullet drop.
The bow should have much less damage if and only if it gains control.
Mortal Empowerment should disapear as well as Attunement on weapons.
Remove the slowdown of melee shots
With these changes, I see a better balance.
dude don’t get me wrong but it’s ridiculous that you talk about probabilities…
I always speak clearly because I played in the 2 class for a serious time.
Even with my GS gun Trench strike/Attu/Keenly emp and all power buffs active, I couldn’t kill anyone in one hit what are you talking about?
also as i said yes i have high damage but my risk is too big
yours?
**soo you? high damage and risk is very low. **
you just need to understand that
In general, it’s interesting. I assume you had this situation on a rofl content called OPR. I assume it because elsewhere the bow and musket doesn’t feel good. Unless, of course, you’re standing in a field against a bow or musket and running at it like a dumb.
As you say, man. You’re right about risk, I agree.
But if you can’t hit a 6-7k with your gachi GS, it means you haven’t unlocked its potential. In general, it’s good for the game that players don’t fully understand how to 100% f*ck everyone with such weapons.
I wrote the same things at the start of New World… the same again and again and got at the end a perma ban because AGS dont like the reality they live in there own world but its not NEW World…
im pretty sure the devs havnt hit 60 yet
Because both are broken, and over tuned? Kinda an odd question.
Kinda…in a way truthful. Kinda not. Range shouldn’t be able to hit as high as they do, from a distance. I think the best way to balance range, is to give them more mobility to counter melee, but with less damage. More mobility up close, less accuracy at a distance, for both.

Lol, First the only problem is the musket shooting from miles away chilling, the bow is pretty balanced, hard to hit shot(so it should hit hard), and if you run it down, the bow is done. I’m sick and tired of the hatchet players just destroying everyone immortal.
