It's for upcoming patch. Just wait a little and they'll buff archery again.
At first I thought buff won't be big but then I checked again and boy, buff is quite decent. Especially against AGI builds, they will get raped by archers. My 14 IF ~80 AR char won't feel it though :mrgreen:
Buff will be big. People will complain someone with 10PD will be able to kill them in 3 shots, that's obviously what's going to happen.
Someone with 10PD is already killing me in 2... yay for the buff!
10PD archers used to one shot me in past. I guess the real reason why archers cry is because average armor level is so much higher than ours.
Just hit basicly naked peasant with two tatar arrows near the head. Did he die? No! Ofc not! He just throwed his lance in return and one shot killed me! Only in crpg, ahhhh :D
You wear no armor compared to the average EU players (you're with either a gambeson or a mailled tunic), remember why the archers don't take less than 8 PD here, everyone is either an agi build that's going to dodge, or a big 27str going to tank arrows.
Fuck agi archers, keep en slow and steady but do give them some damage IMO. With the clunky slow movespeed i guess they could have jumpshot aswell. But i do think as far as balancing goes, they should be stuck at the movespeed of a heavy armored infantry, so atleast mediums can catch them out.
if so crossbowmans should be also slow as hell. This is archer and role of the archer is to be agile. I would prefere more arrows and faster movement speed than simple dmg boost.
Crossbowmen are pretty slow. Why are archers suppose to be agile? Kiting archers were never a hit with the rest of the server. I didnt mind them kiting too much since i used to play agiwhore build so i could always catch them but most people complained about it. Archers as is only lack a bit of range damage other than that they are balanced imo. Imo its more enjoyable to play a more stationary archer but with some melee, than running around untill people give up chasing.

Iam so sick of this one swing cav kills, guy rides on a box tank, very slow, i even jump in opposite direction to reduce speed impact, doesnt matter, one swing u are dead. U are archer and u are so slow as 60 armor guy so u cant even dodge. But I have to shoot, HIT like 20 arrows to take this cav with cut arrows -_-. Swing range is also ridicilous. Many times i see how guys stop cab with spears and they still manage magicly swing and hit this infantry guy, its just retarded:O.
I think arrows should have pierce damage instead of cut, because arrows thrust, not cut. That would be more effective against most arour types in game.

Nothing preventing you from wearing armor, switching to bodkins, and using a 1 slot polearm as an archer.
Specialy when cav can knock u then u cant block and magicly swing through me when iam in a horse is hitbox... . Archery is retarded in this mod. If u want to play archer in this mod u have to be slow, no other way of plaing it. As melee u can be agi whore and armored guy, as archer only slow elephant. Just throwed down an horseman with 4 fucking arrows, then put 3 in him and he still managed to chase me and finish me with one swing. Even with 25 agi and 8 athlethics iam outrunned by fucking mamulek riders on foot, lol xD
Retarded ballance and idioticly designed archery.
No wonders noone play this mod anymore and napoleonic battles and native are full of ppl.
too much faintingI see what you did there :wink:
too much faintingsieeeeet, i just fainted :o
You do realize that this "balanced for clamz hurr durr" makes you look like a massive idiot, right?wot? :idea:
We're all able to look over your rather bad English, I mean, we put up with Vovka for quite a while now, but when some of the content is stupid, that's hard to overlook.
