- What is your character name in New World: irrelevant
- What server/world did you experience your issue on: irrelevant
- Describe the issue you are experiencing: When rolling with the musket, the roll is shorter than normal rolls. This only occurs when the musket is unsheathed and the player is moving at the time of the roll. If the musket is sheathed, the roll is normal length. If the player is standing still, the roll seems to be normal length. This also isn’t tied to any specific weapon mastery perks. I tested it with no perks and it still happens.
- Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
- (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: To play muskt effectively (in both pve and pvp) you need to create and maintain distance from your enemy. Rolling in light armour is the main way to do this. The roll being shorter results in the core playstyle of this weapon being hindered.
- (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: No, I have yet to recover from the emotional damage this has been causing me.
- (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: Video linked below
- What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Equip musket. Make sure it is in-hand (unsheathed). Hold W and roll. Do this again with the musket sheathed. The unsheathed roll will be shorter than the sheathed roll. Don’t see it? Just watch the video for proof.
I made two video clips to verify and demonstrate this bug. I recorded my inputs within a macro so that I could compare rolling with rapier vs rolling with musket (where the inputs are identical in both videos). I then started in the same place and looked at the same spot to begin both tests. Here are the videos:
Musket: Gif Your Game
Rapier: Gif Your Game
You can see that the rapier test goes ~5m further than the musket test. Proving that musket roll is shorter.
Here are the two “ending” positions for those two tests. They start in the exact same place. They use the exact same inputs. And the rapier test goes noticeably further than the musket test.
I’ve reported this bug numerous times already and I will continue to do so until just one AGS staff member acknowledges it and says that they are making the dev team aware of it.
