But that's the point Kesh! Archery has been nerfed into mainly a support role but a large section of crpg players continue to play as an archer. The question is why?
Because it's fun to play? Same question can be asked to why SO MANY players play cav, or 2hander, or ninja, or... For fucks sake this crying about every aspect of the game is godamn annoying. Just play the fucking game to have fun.
I personally enjoy playing an archer because it actually takes skill to hit and possibly kill people in a giant melee clusterfuck without killing your own teammates.
lol
i wanna play a game where skill matters, warband melee is amazing because it takes the most skill out of any game i ever played, archery ruins it because anybody whos bad at the game can play an archer and zerg down any player whos already fighting someone else.
i dont care what is done, just fucking nerf it, its annoying to get close to someone, pull out your shield and get insta shot by 6 different archers every fucking rounds.
a big damage reduction would be awesome, a speed nerf would help, an accuracy nerf would be terrible, making upkeep cost less could also indirectly help (melee focused with 5 IF getting 2 shotted is REALLY fun)
the thing i HATE about archery is the fact that any retard can point and shoot and kill anyone and they cant do shit about it unless they are an archer themselves. i hate everything that removes skill, i hated magic in darkfall, i hate archery in warband, i hate variance in poker, get it?
Go play some other game then. Q_Q I got shots Q_Q If you're being hit 6 times by archers WITH a shield you're a godawful player to begin with.
