Easy Fix. Use a musket!
i agree why would I want to change your mind?
For the musket/bow defenders that always come in to defend their precious cheese:
Please do not lump bow and musket together. the bow is only effective at medium ranges because the arrow has a travel time. While being riddled with musket bullets outside of the render distance.

agreed just played 2 oprs. Was such a terrible experience i uninstalled until the weekend. Enough nw for the week lol
Like fresh start servers dont intrest me but i would reroll on GUN free server instantly
I agree. Musket ruin the game completely for tons of reasons!!
Just passing to say my solution to the problem.
Instead of nerfing musketers, I want AGS to give more weapons. These are my ideas.
-
Maybe daggers are coming with stealth buff.
-
bring protection field back: This skill from the alpha Healer was removed but it could be one of solutions.
-
A Shield buff weapon: I played lost ark and there was a classe very nice to play that could give shields and this weapon is something New World must have imo because is very fun. Attacking with bubbles, giving bubbles shield, running away inside a hovering bubble could be amazing. It perfect fits with the complaints about musketeers and also number 2.
-
building barricades and moving them like big shields. I can even imagine a box like in Kojima games.
You have absolutely no idea how hard it is to hit moving targets with a musket. You want to complain? Complain about bows doing the same damage or a lot more but with a massive hitbox.
Muskets are very very annoying if you just get killed and didnt get to see the action. But the reverse is we get killed by literally everything and it is extremely unforgiving.
You play against .1% of players that can stack mortal empower up to 20 and are ghosts. Not the rest of us

why even type when it has nothing to do with the topic.
things you could do
remove hitscan
high damage falloff
remove ME (hmm yes perma empowerment for no risk hmm 600-700 dot hmm)
remove dualstat so you cant double scale/ hit and ignore diminishing returns on stats (also need to retune scaling so its still a viable weapon)
remove roll speed (why give it mobility when you play at render distance, make it punishing if its caught.)
Idc about muskets, but bows make me wanna quit the fkin game.
I get hit for 6k from range or from 4k right in my face.
LIke how dodge, they literally wait till I’m in their face to shoot so they get the 4k crit off and then I’m at such a disadvantage already being halfdead.
Any one of these is the end of all muskets as they are now. You’ve offered nothing in terms of how the musket can be reworked. Just killed literally the ONLY build that muskets have to play right now because it’s that bad otherwise

It has everything to do with the topic.
Musket is the go to weapon for cheater because there is no projectile travel time and no cast time. This way they ensure that it aways hits the target, and in a specific spot (head).
It also works with bow but looses effectiveness.
What I’m saying is Musket is OP paired with cheats, By itself, played by a human that can miss it’s not that OP.
Unfortunately there is no way to know how OP it is without cheats because AGS doesn’t know how to stop cheats from being used… So they pretend they don’t exist, don’t talk about it and deletes threads.
a good geared musket player can now 3 shot any light 200 con. So if you cant hit 3 body shots maybe musket isnt for you?
I know I can, Im just not the griefer kind

What a joke. Muskets have hitscan while the rest on the ranged weapons all have projectiles . Yawn.
I’m not saying it is not OP, I’m saying it is hard to say weather it is or not due to the cheats most musket players are using.
I have all weapons at lvl20 and GS625, I also played musket and yes I can get 3 consecutive hits, not headshots, but it is not consistent I miss one of the 3 shots more often then not. with an aimbot, ppl can hit up to 9/10 consecutive shots, most of them, head shots.
This.
Balance aside, the musket play style is just toxic.
You are trying to fight and these rats always just tail in the back. You get mad enough you go to fight them and they either run to team mates or other muskets so you essentially get fucked. It wastes a lot of time as well.
Trolls are the only people playing musket.
I came back to the game and loved it the first week, til I got in the groove again and saw the same bullshit meta being played out. Then the new patch added the melee hit slow and GS is like GA lunge sticky with the slow and literally everyone OPR I was in ended 100-200vs 1000 with nerds in full BiS, rune glass and the heartgems just FARMing free kills with their pocket heals.
