As a new player, I am really scared with these ppl on the forums and in game saying remove the musket. new world wont feel fun anymore if you take the musket out from a new player’s perspective. i use my musket to hit enemies from far away and then when theyre close i use my greatsword to kill em.
reworking a weapon or tuning/nerfing a weapon is totes fine. apparently AGS has done this before with the ice gauntlet- but the ice gauntlet, even though it was bugged, was never permanently removed from the game.
so please devs dont take the musket out of the game forever like these people are saying. it’s fun and it’s just cool to have a long range gun in a pirate fantasy mmorpg game. just balance and bug fix it and keep it moving dont listen to the crazy end game players who keep saying to just remove it forever
lots of us new players just wanna use a long range gun
Game would be better for 90+% of PVP players if they took it out of the game but don’t worry they never will. Its been hated since before the game even released and they wont even listen about hitscan completely breaking the reactive dodge based combat they based the game around, let alone delete it entirely.
If that calms you, musket won’t be deleted, I think removing content (especially gameplay carving) is the last thing any developer would like to do, we’d rather see musket being projectile weapon rather than being removed from the game
Don’t stress, it won’t get removed. It may get rebalanced but I don’t think I’ve ever played a game that has completely removed a weapon, especially one that is part of the core identity of the game.
As many of the musket fans have said give us more range then a healer less then a bow make bullet drop-off way higher beyond that distance hitscan or projectile it won’t matter and make it so we can be 300 dex 200 con and not hit like a wet noodle it is laughable how bad the musket damage is if you play with more then 50 con and not 300 dex 150,200 int. also one of the main issues for musket damage is mortal empowerment should just be removed it does not have a place in an mmo with any weapon just creates a snowball issue,
This is musket identity you play on long range, but you must be 5/50 con to deal and logical damage. This can stay, but situation where 1 guy stay next to respawn base and with 15 stacks of mortal empower kill people on 4 shots from 100-0 are unacceptable.
Yes! Let’s make it loud! If something has to be deleted, let it be Mortal Empowered! It creates unhealthy snowball mechanic! You think hitscan does not fit MMO? How about getting permament 30% damage increase just by last-hitting?
Yes musket is nice to have. ITs nice to hunt animalas and so on. But its super bad for pvp.
Weapon does ignore rules that all other weapons (except LS) have to follow. In current shape weapon cant exists in game. Has to be reworked. ITs f… up beyong any chance it can be adjusted.
So ppl are asking to rework it and if ags cant/dont have resources to do it. Remove. ITs better to lose some players that do like musket that keep bleeding est of player base.
Well i hope they remove hitscam, that way it will be a weapon that needs some skill, otherwise it’s just an inclusive weapon.
That being said i don’t think it should be removed from the game, because that would just mean that everytime a weapon is insanely easy to play or strong, they can just remove it from the game.
I just don’t think a weapon that plays from 100m and has no counter other than itself in wars have a place in an action MMORPG.
Making it a projectile would make it so only the skilled players can use it from afar.
dont listen to the crazy end game players who keep saying to just remove it forever
