How are Sons of PEPE going to tackle the rising Krems problem? They are uncontrollable and seem to be immune to our insults, no matter how many times we write them in all caps!

Does PEPE have a plan to stop this menace before all of EU becomes von Krems?

I don't like this new "helpful" Panos, there are way too few curses in his posts. Bring back the old gay-bashing, arab-hating, CAPS-abusing Panos! Also, give him a free pass for the weekends so he can run around EU1 finding new ways to simultaneously insult as many people as possible. Honestly, that will attract more newbs (and keep them coming back) than any one time gifts you can come up with.

The archers are annoying, but they are nothing compared to the HA master race. It's a griefer class that is effective to the point where two of my irl friends quit this mod citing them as one of the reasons. It is a class that CANNOT be killed by inf and other cav, it's like kiting ranged all over again. So for the love of god nerf that class into oblivion and hope dickheads like Zero, Kistray and Lovemore quit this mod and never come back.

We don't even know what happened (at least I don't  ), companies rarely broadcast their security flaws to random gamers in hopes someone can help. I really doubt though that someone hacked into the system and deleted everything (including backups), the standard server security kits are extremely good. Most likely the servers are being DDoS:ed, in which case there is very little we can do.

Omg those logs and all those bans, omg! Tbh after all I've seen here I now think you should have been perma:ed a while ago. Considering you've been allowed to play after over a dozen bans you should have been on your best behavior, not spamming in global chat and th:ing left and right. Canary did the right thing here.

Wow this really escalated! Perhaps there is more to this than meets the eye, but until Canary posts a proper response he will continue to look like a douche. I can't imagine what Lemon could have written in the ingame chat that would warrant a ban for a whole year... Also extending that ban just because Lemon posted about it on the forums is extremely wrong imho.

Oh. While implying I can't read between the lines (lol, why should I), you didn't get ANY of my arguments except "mad cuz bad"?
Also, I think you are taking me for someone else, I never had a build with barmace. I've been using great long axe for quite some time now. And I'm not even in DRZ clan, unlike you mentioned before.
PS: I don't like to wave with my e-peen, but you could just take it as a truth when more experienced players tell you that the reason of your problems is not class disbalance but your own lack of experience.
PPS: I'm not even trying to make another duel thread out of it, just saying. 

What other arguments? That I should face the archer when he's sidestepping me? That's great advise mate, why didn't I think of that 

The mod has changed a lot even since when I first started (which was a long time ago) rendering most of your experience somewhat useless. So I don't see why bitterver oldmy old friends like you think themselves so much smarter than the rest of us mortals. That's one of the things killing this mod imho. People like you, running around in their fully loomed suits, brushing off arrows as if they were toothpicks, think that's how the rest of us are experiencing it. Well, unless you start putting yourself in my, and other peoples positions, it's gonna be just you and the rest of the "more experienced players" circle-jerking eachother on EU3.

PS: Saying you don't like to flaunt your epeen, and then doing it anyway makes you look like an asshole

Oh, wait... so you were actually complaining about archers being too strong on EU2?    Well... While DRZ and some other archers are really good at shooting, I don't see how ranged in general could be a big problem on siege for even a non-shielder class, so, yeah, mad cuz bad, nothing to add here.
Both are easily counterable. First - by actually paying attention and facing the archer, second - by, well, being decend at fighting.
What you consider as good "balance" you wish for, is, probably, the Freeoniz's movie scenario.

I used EU2 as an example dickhead, learn to read between the lines. If I were to write idiot-proof texts for dumdums like you I'd be here 24/7. And don't let your lack of imagination make you think that ranged isn't a problem on EU2. Perhaps if you didn't suck so much with that barmace you'd survive melee fights long enough to see how much of a pain in the ass ranged are.

Anyway, I cannot have a solid discussion with someone who's only argument is "mad cuz bad".

Though when you see a shielder bitching about ranged, when he's standing on high ground, on a stair, only one things comes to mind... l2p...

I was covering the opening on the other side of that building, covering our own archers and 2h camping in there, waiting for the other team to come to us. I went to the stairs so that I could take the screenshot without getting shot.

The point of that picture is to show the angle and the spot where that arrow hit. To me this demonstrates that there is no forcefield anymore and basically my ability to cover my team (even myself) while we, or the enemy, approach is nonexistent.

Like Kafein said - I hunt archers, because in siege it is generally impossible to hold the flag while archers are firing at you from above. Someone has to do it, and unless friendly ranged can control their archers completely, I figured I might as well do it, because very few other bother to.

I prefer to play with a shield because I very often end up in the middle of the action, taking hits from multiple sides (storming walls, charging through bds and EU1 blob on blob action). I'm not that awesome manual blocker, I cannot compare to many of the pros out there, but I can get one or two hits on most people before I go down.

I'd say shielders main threat is cav and crushtrough weapons (which anybody barely uses anymore)

With the recent buffs to 1h wepons and shields and the ranged situation on EU servers I'd say this is currently the class to go to and it shows, there have never been so much shielders, but I guess some ppl are never satisfied and will push and lobby their class forever.

If you've ever played as a 1h shielder you know that mauls are the least of our worries, due to the fact that they are extremely slow. I've only ever met 2 maulers on EU2 that could keep up with me and kill me 1 on 1. Same goes for cav. Unless bumping to death (which takes forever) counts, there is very little a single cav can do against a shielder. Unless that cav is a HA, thats a different story. And I dont know where you're getting your statistics from, but I just played on EU1 and out of 35 people on my team, 6 were shielders (one had a bow on his back and 2 were hoplites). I'd say the amount of shielders is lowest I've ever seen it since I started playing.

Mad cuz bad.
I've played shielder for quite a long time, including the time after all the "archer buffs". And I wasn't some archer-hunting agi-freak, the whole time I played I had 24-18 build (for high lvl).
Shielder is totally fine. Playing shielder is the best way to feel safe, controlling the situation, not being vulnerable to anything. I mean, look at piker - if he meets any other class 1 vs 1, he's doomed. If a crossbowman meets archer while having no cover - he's most likely doomed. If a twohander meets two archers and has no cover - he's most likely doomed as well. Shielder has no such weaknesses, it's a manly class for manly men who are afraid of nothing.
But shielder has to be aware. It's something you are missing, probably.
So my advice: if you like playing shielder, stay with it, it's a good class. If you like to whine, start your everlasting respec journey and may the heaven lead you to being a str-horsearcher-throwing-shielder hybrid build using donkey in the end of it.

I don't know when you played shielder, but it must have been a long time ago. Too long ago. I've played all the maps on EU2, multiple times, so I know most of the spots ranged prefer. So, just my experience probably makes me more aware of archers than most. I'd very much like to know though how you managed to be aware of archers hiding behind every structure on EU2 while still being effective in combat? I think I know the answer to that, but unfortunately for me I don't have a bunch of Druzhina minions covering my back at all times, so I have to do most of the hard work myself.

I want there to be some sort of balance in regard to ranged classes. I don't mind them being able to kill me from a distance, while I'm approaching them. What I do mind is when after all that painfull approach, the archers pulls back his bow, performs a chernobyl-child dance around me, circumventing the shield, and kills me from a distance where ever my 1h would glance. Or my favorite - archer drops bow and arrows, pulls out his scottish sword and now I'm suddenly facing an agile and maneuverable inf that can control the distance of the fight and can deal the same amount of damage as me. Where is this balance you people speak of?
