Mortal Empower is the problem, not hitscan, not split damage… i’ve been playinng this game for over a year now, and musket was a niche weapon before ME made it into the game

ok dude. please post me a clip where you run light armor mage or mele assasis or even medium mele build on opr. please share how easy it is without pocket healer.
only ppl who know their build is broken are telling other ppl “get gud”. so each time you use this to defend some build/weapon in topic you only prove your opinion is biased and your voice should be ignored in topic.

yeah… sure thing i will drop my current EQ that i have been stabilising for some time just to play light armor mage cuz’ somebody on the forum needs an argument
So you dont have any purple items for other builds? You dont play anything else like ever? So how you can arguee that musket isnt broken if you cant compare it to other builds?
i’ve already played OPR in every way possible - light mage, heavy melee, medium melee, bow/spear, rapier/musket
in no build i found musket to be the trouble
So whats the issue with jumping back into one of this builds to show us that we all are noobs that have to “get gut” and all musket players are right and super skilled no matter what they play? Please prove your point or stop saying other ppl are unskilled noobs lol.
no money and no umbrals, no gems, in general no mats
if they would like to improve, they would put on elemental aversion in their sets, does they? No, because meta-slaves must play shirking fort and freedom
Even if put elemental aversion and other perks you will die to max 5 shots and only if musket emp ring isnt stacked up.
And cost of doing that you are more vunerable to all other sources of dmg - like GS.
So no.
ME is a problem, and a lot of open OPR map is also the problem.
But then you dont see muskets in arena.
A redditor summed it best, “Moment you remove damage/kills from scoring and objective playstyle, people will stop playing muskets/bows in OPR”
its the easiest way to get a score.
Right now if you’re getting a bad zerg and your’e a tank or a bruiser, you are not gonna get enough points for 2k pvp exp. With a bow, just LMB spam.
So balancing musket over reddit/forum crybabies who refuse to understand how to play around them is just stupid. But AGS have dont it in the past, so no doubt musket will receive another nerf next patch. Not that it matters, but a lot of gameplay is broken and putting so much effort only for musket would be just pathetic.

i mean in all fairness, you;'d die to GS regardless of what you put on armor XD
and yet again… it comes to Mortal Empowerment…
really? you have the audacity to say that when melee light assassin is the easiest build to play right now?
there you go, just uploaded this for you. Look how easy it is for a GS to track when you dont even need to think or outplay your opponents.
pardon the bad quality, i’ll upload one later featuring ‘everytime i was chased by an army post brim patch’
I thought Accuracy only affects hipfire shots. Why would you not just press RMB to ADS? Am I missing something?
no, but he is…

Yea GS is broken. Also 0 muskets on that clip. With game where enemy team does have like 4-5+ of them you would die before you can get to this enemy bruisers and you know it.
a musket is shooting me from their spawn, can you not see me getting powder burned?
The moral is, you need to LOS when there are objects and when its open turn corners.
Even if musket wasn’t there, i was chased by an army of 10 people who stopped when they realized objective is more important and the one who came after me with a beacon died anyway.
If you are chased by 10 ppl that is good for your team. And if you have proper build you can run around for some time waisting their time. But you cant run away from 10 muskets. They wont even move. You cant hide from 10 muskets lol.
If at this point you can’t admit weapon is broken then you will be suprise moment they address issue way they should. And couse its amazon im not expecting rework with some smart ideas on how weapon should be used. Im betting my money on nerf to the ground that best you can do with it is to hunt turkeys.
you can’t run away from 10 sword and shield hatchet players either, whats your point?
same argument applies for a musket, if musket is glass cannon they are not gonna capture point. good for your team.
yes you can, ever heard of LOS?
10 muskets in an OPR is a death sentence. They will get rolled by anyone, even players with bad game knowledge learn eventually how to use line of sight to reach a point, and muskets cant do much then.
the entire community agrees the perk ME is broken, musket is fine. Just because you dont like playing vs one, doesn’t mean a weapon is broken.
This^ is why your advice wont be taken seriously, trolls like you prowl this forum with prejudice just want to nerf things you dont know how to deal with. Any dev understands, if they started catering to incessant whining from 3-4 players and create a balance patch for 1500, it’ll tank the game pop.
