Musket changes and suggesstions

General Discussion General Discussion

The changes would be fine and be considered as positive if We could keep the Bomb stagger & add shooter stance to just be a activate skill so We can move while shooting if not increase the reload time of the wep. We are still to slow with 2 shots then reload. I dont see Why We would be happy as musket players and consider this as a buff or good change?

We Will still be forced to play 50con in close combat. The issue is not the dmg on the wep the issue is how slow it is…. When i made posts about this in the past ppl was making jokes cuz i was asking for the wep to be quicker with reload and stuff. Now its necessery with the long range sniper nerf.

Suggestions:
Keep bomb stagger
Walk while shooter stance
Faster reload

My wishlist for musket:

  • Powder burn and Power shot don’t slow self (fixed?)
  • Sticky bomb is used similar to hatchet throw skills and stagger is added to it further down the tree
  • Reduce range (fixed?)
  • Trap doesn’t self-slow and perk +2 seconds to haste
  • Power shot rework to be armor penetration and rend
  • Rework Mortal Empowerment to not be so busted, especially with ranged
  • Fix the ridiculously high number of non registered shots (larger “projectile” or hit scan width x height)

Doesn’t self-slow and they already put a stagger on the sticky bomb. Maybe I wasn’t clear.

Stagger on sticky bomb is gone in the PTR.

The damage also reduced significantly when further than 50m. Musket is dead, its time to swap to bow!

7

I know - if they insist on taking it out on the base skill to allow more mobility, I want them to add the stager to the upgrades.

Way better to just swap to 300 dex 200 con bow easy life

Most people will move to bow now or FS now musket getting big range nerfs

Just remove musket from game

11

Adapting is the name of the game right??

12

Yep and that’s dropping a dead weapon and picking up the next one (Bow)

13

Pretty much how it’s been from the start.

14

All these musket users roleplaying that the patch is actually a nerf instead of a buff. you guys are really cringe.

15

We’re being omega nerfed. It’s not fair. Buff musket.

16

Even if musket is already being nerfed we still have dudes like @obadyahu over here hating on musket players.

That’s even more cringe. Just be happy the weapon you can’t fight because of your lack of skill is getting nerfed, and people are swapping back to Bow so, BOWPR awaits you in the next patch.

Musket is dead. Musket players are all quitting. Blame people like @obadyahu for killing New World.

I don’t think AGS understands that the reason so many choose musket or bow or even fire staff is because they are tired of getting 1 shot in melee range.

The gear disparity between large companies/long time players and new players is so huge that there is no winning for the new player.

This is why so many OPR’s are on sided. Its large guild premades with their BIS gear running the gamut on non premades in lesser gear.

And contrary to what many say, gear matters in new world more than people realize.

Players have to “win” occasionally. When you are a fresh melee rolling into OPR and getting smacked around left and right, and never winning guess what you do.

Roll ranged.

The issue is not ranged, the issue is melee and al lack of counterplay. The game has too much burst WAY too much burst for melee classes.

If the musket players quit the player base will sing songs in my honor for as long as aeternum exists.
