Dude you talk about 17 century musket. I did talk about 16 century,
I think they will affect all muskets. Im assuming accuracy will be crap and longer the distance longer you will have aim at enemy to increase ti. So even shorten range musket will be affected - just less. But that just a wild shot. Lets wait PTR.
this game is set in the 17th century?
And you made that call based on what? Romans? Mages? Magic creatues we see in game?
This change is convinient for AGS , because the accuracy perk is out since released and useless since then… So thoses changes are convinient… I, once, talked about it on a different post and provided some ideas to rework/replace this perk, devs actually responded saying “I like those ideas”… never seen them in game…
So youre telling me old muskets are more accurate than most modern day production rifles made with the latest and greatest gunsmithing technology?
As a competitive long range shooter I chuckled at your statement.

Was waiting for sm1 to comment 750m range of musket. While todays sniper riffle does require lof of training to be used on that range.
From what i googled 18 century musket effetive range was like 300m - but did require skill and lot of training.
Also took like 3 minutes to load the thing lol
yes, in fact when you look into the king’s royal armory… some of their weapons were quite nice. Unfortunately the powder at the time was terrible and fouling made using rifles in actual combat impractical… which is why smoothbore muskets were used literally up until the 1870’s when cartridges became readily available.
and no im not saying there were armies running around with accurate out to 1000 yard battle rifles… im saying a king or very rich nobleman hunting with his entourage would be using these kinds of weapons to make trick shots on game.
Link?
Real solutions would be to remove mortal empowerment and not allow damage increasing runeglass on ranged weapons as there is no con for them they don’t need the defense loss to begin with. Or my favorite solution is to remove the zoom entirely

No its not. Its probably purgatory. Thats why there are deamons, 17 centry sailors, roman legions and other crap. There is no point in time for NW world.
Take that up with Wikipedia, Polygon, Gamerant and others.
And yes I know what AGS has said about purgatory and New World.
But from the player’s perspective, the person that sails on the boat with Thorpe, its the 17th century.
Delete musket from the game.
As long as ME, Attunement, Stoneform are a thing in its current state nothing is going to change lmao
Useless comment. Since there’s no balance in this game we should just delete all weapons. Problem solved…
In my opinion the real issue concerning musket comes from ME and DoTs damage stacking on each other… Because like i said, the msuket shot it self don’t hit harder than any other weapons, 2.8K crit head shot (No ME, and not taking DoT damage in account).
Also DoTs shouldn’t proc when the bullet first hit the target but 1sec after the first hit. First game i’ve seen DoT damage working like that… New World things I guess.
Did you ever heard what sarcasm and irony is, pal?
Yeah, just didn’t really saw any irony… Hard to guess what people think’s without seeing any face expressions…
Anyway, DEVS should delete musket, seeing the changes they plan to do on the musket, it’ll just be a useless weapon. Can’t wait to test thoses changes on PTR, but i doubt it would compete against any other weapons after this nerf
