Removing hitscan (again, let it stay on shooter stancr) > bloom. Accuracy perk says hello.
Also bloom makes it much worse to use musket on the move which again hurts it’s viability in mid to close range where devs want to make it more viable.
At the distances where I used the musket it was nowhere near abusing mate. Try the weapon for yourself and use it close range on live server, try to hit some headshots close range and tell me how much of an abuser I am afterwards
These are always preventable. The issue with your argument was your immediate reaction to a suggestion (not even a suggestion as a whole but a part of it) and presenting a worst case scenario in a way it fitted your argument which in that case was actually a bit silly is well… silly. NW is not played in a vacuum.
If he can land most shots so can you, unless it is a skill issue. Either way balance has arrived and you need to face it man, i don’t know what else to say. Peace!
How does melee miss by rng?? There are only 3 ways you miss a swing, either they dodge (now there is an indicator so its easier to identify), desync or you were clearly out of melee range.
If your kid has more IQ than you, I would be happy.
Never said you nerfed it or did something, well you did whine. Devs PTR is one of the most controversials so far, removing stagger for mostly everything, reducing dmg to STR based skills, changing the concept of fortify and making musket shot RNG (there is a difference between anticipating and being able to land a hit, dont be that… you know).
The issue of the weapon, as I have pointed before, is the high damage (thrust + ele) in wide open area, but if you are playing a 5 con build, with no defensive perks and no concept of stamina management… Well I guess you are just easy to kill, let a skitzo get near you and combo you to dead.
A proposal I have read for long distance muskets is to reduce projectile speed, could work perfectly, but all depends on the coding they have on the different projectiles. And Ill keep saying, modify ranged damage calculation to compensate distance.
What 5con build? Dude im talking about musket ability to 4 shot 200con light build that is full resilient with trust and elemetna resits. Why you pretend you have no idea what reality of live opr is?
Against a musket I see more ele than thrust dmg, crit not over 2k so he is running resilent, but nothing else.
Against a bruiser (ga/wh) on non-crit I see really low numbers so running resilent + phy/ele resistances + possible fotify.
Against a bow on non-crit I see thrust similar to the crit on musket (already have ME stacks) and high ele, so the stack is doing nearly the value it is.
But I see no or really low ele defenses there and if you see ele is the one doing the most damage. Also hard to say what con they are running, but that bow was clearly not running a 200 con, the values are not similar to shooting a healer, even the healer is getting less ele dmg from attunement cuz it has ele defenses, even with musket with 4 ME stack.
Now see the values he recieve from another musket. It doesnt match, why? Because he is running the proper defensive perks and the other muskets dont have ME.
After min 4 of the vid, he already have 10 ME, so its a fest.
TLDR: ME give him a huge boost on damage, enemies are not running a proper defensive set of perk, they are stationary or dont dodge or dont manage their stamina correctly. Want musket to not do a lot of damage? Remove ME, modify ranged damage formula, increase defensive values and bring back old fortify.
Have you even seen and analysed the video? or just pressed play and had some PTSD? Numbers are there, you can compare. But I guess since you like easy things, whining fits you more.
Dude ofc numbers are there. you think there is no problem couse you hit 2.5k + 500x9? Its already problem. But on top of that you can shot for limited period of time buty ou can like every 1sec.
Musket has potential to kill light player in 4 quick shots - on up to 120m range no problem.
Fact that you and other musket players refuse to see the issue suggest only solutions is to lvl up weapon to the ground. There is no point to talk with any of you. Or discuss any alternative reworks.
When did I even said hitting 2.5k is not an issue? It is! But if you are not running defensive perks then it makes more sense that the weapon is doing that damage, if you cant see that as an issue then you are lost.
And it seems you didnt even read the whole post, might be a lot of work for you, but as I said, modify the ranged damage formula, increase defensive values and bring old fortify, this will increase medium and heavy users and will make a more stable ranged damage dropoff.
After watching your video, most of the time you even don’t aim at all and hits almost instant even while moving - wth really, but all of your shots almost don’t miss at all too even for a single time (but yea aimbot cheat scripts are not so perfect that they are missing time to time that we have seen it many times in other youtube videos too) for having +80 ms which this ping ms is very high to play for a shooter games like Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty, Valorant etc. Nice aimbot cheats.
All of these nerfs on musket happened because of aimbot cheaters. AGS should ban aimbot cheaters. But nooo, AGS even cannot detect who cheats or not even with real proofs. AGS only nerfs… Thus, it is not about being musket good or not but after watching your video, you don’t aim at all to focus on your target to give some headshots etc to get maximum damage of the musket, already all the opponents you killed are low gear score or glass cannon builds.
