Musket simply isn’t fun
Oh dear. Anyone know of a fun weapon to use?
I wish they had just made musket still viable in close combat . Yeah that’s weird to say . I get it . But when I play musket I don’t play it on a rock from 100m away. seems they kinda made it worse in 10m range and the cliff shooting (without movement) is still somewhat viable . Kinda feel that’s not what musket users OR non musket users wanted
Delete the musket completely from the game… Or at the very least remove the hit scan!
OPR is actually fun atm again
Hatchet is dead too. Just move on to another weapon. Bow or FS should be right up your alley.
The leaching from berserker could probably use a buff and maybe a little more damage overall. I think the updated defy death is fine. Defy death was pretty OP, especially if you only used it to get away.

Now musket is not fun for everyone, not just the people getting shot by the musket. I will say however, the new crosshair is much nicer than the previous one. I do think they need to fix the bloom indicator though, cause the musket is a LOT more accurate than the crosshair makes it seem. This leads to people complaining on the forums when they dont know what they are talking about.

we playing the same game? You are enjoying being shot by 8 bows and 6 fire staffs, but all of a sudden it’s fun because the musket isn’t there?
It’s a complete rng fest of random fireballs and arrows everywhere. Solo melee players i’m sure are having an absolute blast!
musket is hitscan, bow and fire staff are not. Fire staffs range is also like 1/3 the range of musket.
Also, the OPR matches since patch have been more fun than ever, and not a single musket is in sight! So yes, all of a sudden it’s fun because musket isn’t there. the only people who don’t agree are the 2 or 3 people per server who main musket. And i am fine with those 2 or 3 people quitting if it means the rest of us can have fun.
I’m glad it got nerfed. Now waiting for a real nerf towards Bow and Greatsword.
Welcome to the nerf life
For me, the accuracy is a bit too much, is a interesting change, but is simply too much, if the musket has ~30% more accuray or we can put the accuracy perks in the armor will be a ruge deal

To be fair, before this patch, invasions were the only PvE place where muskets did decently, and mostly they tended to be behind bows and mages for damage, but had some versatility by being able to play from the walls.
Not one of the invasion musket players I was in with last night thought it was worth running anymore, except for one who thought that with accuracy on the musket, it might be acceptable.
its rly funny how that dude said in the dev video he dont want the changes not to affeckt musket in pve basicly when in realtiy musket has no place in pve xD
I love musket now!! It is so fun to play
Against.
As much as it sucks getting third(fourth, fifth, sixth) partied by bows and fire staffs, at least I can look over to where they are, see that theyre like 20-30m away and go fight them if I choose. Whereas a musket is like 120m away and it’s just not wise to go.
Now I’m new to the game so I don’t have any experience in PvP yet but I’ve been leveling a Musket/Blunderbuss build and I like the new crosshair better than the old one. I’m not sure what a bloom indicator is could someone explain this to me please? I don’t play many shooter games and only decided to run a gun build in this game to be different from my normal playstyles which is usually a Tank.
A lot of you seem to have missed my point with this post: musket as a PvE weapon used to be a fun style of gameplay. Regardless of whether it could compare to bow damage (arguably it could), it was unique and interesting to use in PvE.
I am 100% okay with nerfs to musket, especially on the PvP side, but these changes make it unplayable. This is a game; it’s supposed to be enjoyed. Casual PvE musket players are essentially forced off the weapon now.
On the crosshair note: it’s my personal preference. The old crosshair had the charm of new world, the new one feels like an fps. I don’t want to be playing more valorant when I boot up new world. Also, the dot vs the hole in the center feels harder to line up shots. At the very least I’d like a menu option to switch it back.

I agree with your feedback on the crosshairs but if you want a solution today you can download Crosshair X and make the crosshair whatever you’d like. A lot of musket players have been using it for a long time. The new crosshair dot in the middle is so small it’s easy to visually lose it or have it blend in too much
Some screens have built in crosshairs too. Mine has one though I don’t use it
