Loading a gun is atrocious. People in COD just press X, why must we click from our inventory for the gunpowder and then click for the musket balls? I have to use WASD movement keys just to dodge and attack if I can't reload in time! Disgusting!
Give us a load option pop up for gunpowder and musket balls so I don't have to drag the whole powder horn or musket ball onto my gun, right click, then drag back to my inventory.
And for the love of the creator, remove %dmg to other players like you did with animals. Batarangs are already stupid enough as is and we don't need no bull +3 to 4 group of ppl strolling with batarangs and rifles. (Before you say anything, no, I haven't died by something like this, but its still a complete and unbalanced trash system design)

Just because it's easier in cod doesn't mean the skill of quickly switching weapons and item manipulation should be removed. Quickly reloading (and using watches, switching to batas, using salts, changing clothes, using darts etc) should be a skill, not time based thing.

New skill for advanced firearms could make the reload faster 20% and unlock the S&E bonus to decrease BB drain when shooting, just an idea ;P

Using watches and salts is really easy, you add the shortcut to the Menu tab or right click it and press 1 for salts, and 2 for pocketwatch.
Do you expect me to believe someone changes all their clothes mid combat? They probably need a better set if they do something like that.
If not a reload stance, at least make it so when you right click the gunpowder or musket balls an option to (load) the object into the gun pops up so I don't have to drag it all the way to my gun UI then back into my inventory/backpack, etc. UI.
This would also allow the player to move with the mouse to cancel the reload and not use the atrocious WASD keys or worry about dropping their gunpowder/musket balls.

i dont want ppl to run and bamdead all Salemites from machine guns but ...
cooking: tiers 1,2,3
steel: "tiers" 1,2,3
crops, gems, clothes - all got some progress so why not give the firearms the opportunity to progress - 1-2 seconds faster reload, lower BB drain (S&E dependent) its not the "lol lets add loading gun skill" but the serious point of discussion about firearms & features. It could be painfully poor but still a progress ;P

Your changes would remove an interesting a valuable system from the game, current system is fine and add much to the game.

For such a powerful tool you need to have it like it is.

Maybe it will get revisited after archery is introduced. There are already two types of arrowhead in the game (Indian and Obsidian), and JC said he wants archery in.
