Its because the GA/WH people all run around in light armor for the damage buff but whinge about being one shot… there should be a weight penalty for users of these weapons to take them out of the light armor category automatically
This is the state of the musket
- Accuracy perk is useless
- You cannot shoot from 50+ m without rng deviation
- Zoom is unusable and makes the weapon accuracy worse
Even at 50m sometimes the RNG trolls you.
This was the worst design change on video game history, by FAR.

All of the musket players are benched from wars for the forseeable future because the weapon is so bad. There are 2 people on our server still playing musket and it’s just because they refuse to let it die, but they acknowledge the bow is better in every possible way.
AGS, please address this. Why have a weapon in the game if another weapon does the same thing but better in every way. The trapper tree has been dead since launch. The sticky bomb used to be somewhat effective and the stagger was removed. Power shot has never been remotely usable in any scenario. Powder burn is the only ability on the musket tree that is even worth using. Shooters stance is a death to any competent bow in 100 meters. Stopping power got nerfed when it was already on life support with it’s janky delay and hipfire animation.
If you actually tried the musket, telling people to be stationary to shoot is laughable. Best case scenario, you steal kills in a fight your team is already winning. That’s really the only use the musket has as it cannot duel any weapon in the game. When you see a musket in OPR, you know it’s a free kill.

seriously upsetting me. 
I hated musket. So itried it yesterday to see if ppl where just crying about balance. Well my final conclusion is that this is not balance what they did to musket. And if that is the solution and what we have to expect going forward when classes are to be nerf’d then all players should be very scared of this kind of balance.

This^^^ just because it was the musket this time everyone is cheering, wait until it’s the bow or whatever weapon the community as a whole enjoys but is somewhat overpowered. Nerfs are fine, but straight up making the weapon completely unusable has ripple effects on balance since you no longer have to worry about that threat at all. What you see with this currently is that bows and firestaffs and running around like crazy because no one can catch them. Muskets could counter infinitely kiting ranged players but since they don’t exist, these bows can just run and run and run and never die.

thats what needed to be address just reduce damage by half past 75m. or a perk where you reload faster while within 20m (Adrenaline rush) so many ways to implement a tune.
This is the equivalent of going to a auto shop and asking for a tuneup. and when you get back you see your intake in the garbage and engine hood closed, and they say “that will be 130 dollars sir”.
game is better without melee

agreed and i actually did the exact same thing. when i got all my stuff equipped and hopped into pvp, i found that the musket is impossible to use basically.
i cannot believe nothing about balance was said in vid that just came out.
Musket players(who haven’t quit) will use the far easier bow now and all the trash players getting farmed by muskets are now getting farmed harder by the same players…
Thus is hilarious, bad players always have an excuse.

Do you play MMORPGs?
No. I played New World because the PvP was good at the start. Watching the MMORPG garbage that are left(hands down the most low skill and lazy of any gamers) cope with a game designed for PvP, being ‘designed’ by the dregs of the games industries leadership(who seem to mirror their target demographic) is very entertaining.

So you played New World (an MMORPG) so that you can play with
and
despite most of the PvP being dropped before the beta testing,
whose goal was to sell their game to
So you just come to these forums to insult the people here?
Why?
ask people that says the same thing for musket 
So you want only to have rangeds excepts Musket playing?
Exactly, they didn’t even mentioned Musket.
All they said is that they’re happy with the changes, beside bruisers, so…
AGS at its best.
Don’t worry wait to see that they do to Bow next, then they will over tune a another weapon and nerf the FS down to oblivion. It is the Amazon way.
