Well it is not hard really. Just make musket and bow unplayable in PVP. Period. Just gut the weapons, make them unusable for the average Joe and you will get more player retention. Remove movement speed passive, reduce damage, reduce hitboxes, remove hitscan, just make the weapons unusable.
I know you will show us some nerfs soon, but i’m pretty sure it won’t be enough. So please AGS if you like your game, just gut these weapons. Everyone is pissed and you loose player because of this.
The game will be bad when its only healers and bruisers.
Additionally, if AGS were to do that, it would be like they threw away all of their development time into those weapons.
I think nerfs are in order. There are different ways to go about it, but melee need to be able to push range and not die before they close the distance and range shouldn’t be able to run away at will. If range can kill melee before they close the gap then range need to die in like 1 hit.
Range shouldn’t be going +30 kills and 0 deaths. It should be more like 20 kills and 5-10 deaths or something.
Dya know why its the good solution? Because bowpr has been a thing for almost a year now, and arenas still have the same healer problem since it was created. We need RADICAL changes in the meta.
If they just gut these weapons and send them back to oblivion, they will be able to deal with other problems, like for exemple healers and WH. Right now, they arent fixing the bow/musket issue corectly, and other issues like WH and healers stay unnoticed. And more issues keep going with the recent hatchet/gs debacle for exemple.
Gutting these weapons to trash tier would actualy allow the devs to see the other issues this game has. But hey i’m not expecting anything really, i just wanted to give my 2 cents here
