New World PvP might be ruined

They said that it won't be implemented in pvp and they were just testing it out on the beta. I know melee always has had aim assist/tracking but yeah I agree, ranged should not be able to lock on in pvp.

All lot of mmos have tap target but they have lower damage and counters to it like an evasion stat personally I think just fix the damage numbers and add a few counters

This will make or break the game for me. Revert combat mechanics immediately I’ll will never touch new world again. In game hr7000+. It’s time to go back to FPS

Don’t make me cry

oh its ruined alright. was excited to come back but no way in hell.

Did they remove the staggering when you get hit?

(I agree man) I hope that aim assist is only assist not auto lock

I ❤love this game !

Soooo .... tab target? LOL

its been a long time since i played but how are you healing so much and taking like 0 dmg are you just way more geared?

I'm surprised how many people in the comments think this is only a bug. They must be new around here. Plus, just use common sense. Aimbot mode in PvP isn't something that could be easily missed by QA. Aimbot mode could easily be disabled in PvP. Put those together and the fact it's present most likely means AGS wants it that way.

How are the NW devs unable to make any good decisions, that's really embarrassing.

Hopefully they remove the target lock in PvP, if not it will be the final nail in the coffin. I really enjoyed the beta this weekend overall, but the aim bot has to go.

Yea I think this closes the book on NW. rip it has suffered enough abuse lol

So what exactly don’t you like about the lock on? I’m kinda neutral about the situation. The way I look at it, melee is getting a crazy buff so range people won’t be able to get away like the current build. And I feel like this lock on will only be effect up close which is also melee range so you just might get clapped if you try to lock on too close. I’m fine with whatever decision they go with tbh

Ok so do we have to grind all artifacts and new gear 725 to get Bis gear ?

I think Auto lock is OK and makes it playable for console. Dont be a doomer

The controller also has a larger hitbox than M&K with range weapons like the bow. If I shoot just past the opponent with the mouse, the shot misses and with the controller it hits in the same position

I play xbox n i agree

Arent most MMO pvp lock on??? I dont understand as a new player how this can be a bad thing? Dont you have to get put of LOS to avoid damage?

I Agree Pvp will be pointless with those idiot aim assisst and console players will be bragging so much because of the game giving them that auto aim assisst. Pvp will be ruined and the game will be ruined, Imagine in War you can no longer Eye Fram the dodgeable skills or attacks.

So many posts on the official discord asking to remove target lock and change it to a more traditional aim assist. Still some pushback from a few vocal minorities wanting to keep the current version of target lock. I just can't get my head around it.

Never played NW. Grabbing it for console on release 10/15. I want to absolutely slap kids in pvp day 1. What class/ build should i go for?

I’m glad I caught this before buying for ps5. I’ll be completely skipping this now. Thanks for the heads up 👍🏻

Aim Assist aka Tab TArget kills any enjoyment i have as a melee player.
It was so much fun to outmove/outplay your enemys and its a riddle to me how AGS kills the best Part of this game wich was the Combat

Thats not rly aim assist, its tab target aimbot ftw ^^

How can it be ruined when it was never alive=

This will 100% alone kill the game, it takes all skill aspect away from pvp. fuck this shit.

The only real good thing i can say about it is that it helps with balance since now everyone is pretty much guaranteed to land their shots which allows them to balance weapons on face value instead of questioning if a weapon is bad or if the player base has a skill issue. I never tried the system so I don't know how horrible it is to play against or play with however

New world is a team full of girls that never PvPed lmao

I quit about 8 months ago , glad I did, but I was hoping I might be able to come back and try the pvp island and aim lock stole that opportunity for me

Tab target mmo are more popular.

i still hope they will turn down the tab target,,... loew aim assist is tolerable but not tab tartget

Digging ur content , can you make a meta list with the best pvp weapons/combos ? For the 15th october release ? Is Hatchet/Gs still the best or what is better ? :) Cheers

They already said that pvp lock on was a bug...

boohoo, your content sucks anyway and the game is dead so winwin for other games

The ONE thing they did right and they f it up.

they dont care about the PC playas.. so it only makes sence that they would give the console playas "cheats" basically.. and ruin the one good thing they had with NW.. never ceases to bring a new low of stupid.. in years, game companies should study this case, how not to do..

It's all business, they care nothing for the actual player, all these businesses care for is juicing something as long as possible. Funny thing is, if devs actually thought outside the box, like they did with older games, they could get a consistent flow of $.

This game was made mainly as a PvP game, as time went by, they changed it to favor the PvE'ers and even then, they didn't do that well while ignoring PvP.

If they do LOTR, it'll be the same thing, hype up the game, make a few years of content, then release on console for a bit of extra profit, just one big scam imo and us as older MMO addicts fall for it, every time :(

SURELY they are NOT going to release this into the game, right?
Theres still hope.
Tag me in 2 weeks, I guess?

agreed

I was excited to get back to NW after all the changes but with that aimbot added, i'm def gonna pass, I had enough already with Apex

Pve yea pvp wtf

do you think you could make a pve oriented video talking about meta stuff? coming back for the crossplay servers but haven't played since brimstone sands and most of the sources i used don't seem to be getting updated. Ik most stuff is probably still viable but i just enjoy doing tons of damage and stuff :p

There is only few buttons in this game, so AIM was a big part of combat, but lol, now it's looks funny...

I played 1k hrs if they ganna add auto lock on then give us dark souls rolling hahahaah...... what a joke auto lock on.....................................................

LOL!!!

I’m having a blast. Idc

For years, cac has had an assist, so it's normal for range to have an assist too, isn't it? when people auto-attack with an ahtchet, you can see that there's a little assist, it's just the developers who are stupid, their combat system is based on assists.

So there is aim assist on console? Back in day on PC launch I quit cause of lack of aim assists. (Was playing mage type) Now considering buying on xbox, cause aim/combat was things why I left.
