Everyone has a xbow because you dont need to waste any points on it and still be supereffective and deal shitloads of dmg. This also remind me of the biggest flaw in this game.
With 0 wpf you will have to pay upkeep almost every round though. And you only aim well at close distance with 0 wpf.
I don't think it is unbalanced to be honest.

Crossbows will always be a problem especially as pewpew is becoming more and more popular. I don't know why people play a game with FANTASTIC melee mechanics and then just want to shoot each other all day. :rolleyes:
No...it's because it's also one of the only MP games where you can use archery/xbow. Just the same as any other aspect of the period in this game. A lot less people tend to be ranged than melee, so not everyone is doing it. It's just melee bitch and moan a lot about ranged and cavalry.fixed it for you :wink:.
i quit 1 hand because so many things shot around or through my shield
Every1 has an xbow cos 2handers now own the game and shielders are in deep **S. As simple as that.
Also 2H guys don't want to use shields because they slow you down significantly.
Cost is the worst way of balancing anything especially since you don't have to worry about it after retiring once and selling an heirloom point.Sure, flush 70 hours down the drain to use a crossbow with 0 wpf, which has the cost/effectiveness of a equus africanus asinus turd. I thought it was a brilliant idea to start carrying an xbow alongside my 2h. Every round I spent about 3 minutes shooting and reloading my xbow, but my average battle score was way lower than without it. It costs a lot of time and gold without actually granting you much kills, or fun for that matter.
This. Buff shields. At least maybe we are going to see more than 5 of them each round if the coverage wasn't so fucked up. Actually unless you have 6+ shield any projectile can goShield has other tactical options, breaking stalemates etc. I really dont see the need to buff shields. I see dozens of super effective shielders and every good shielder is a huge challenge, especially because of the leftslash, which at closerange hits very fast and always hits the face.
Actually, shields are totally fucked up in many melee situations (too many backpedallers mostly). So buff shields back and see the game balancing itself better.
I forgot that. Shields turn a player into a meatshield ready to be ganked. A shield significantly reduces tactical options because you move slower than everyone else.

Oh yes and the weight of course!

I don't think it's been this bad ever before.... everyone is using an xbow/bow or throwing. It's a rangefest currently, and the icing on the cake is that they all camp on unreachable roofs.

It's ridiculous how every time an admin isn't on, you get tons of unreachable roof campers. They should just disable ladders.
They should just disable ladders.
I say the solution is simply this: More late-time admins.
You'd need a lot more, and there'd still be times admins aren't on. Plus is it really that fun for anyone to have the ranged camp on an unreachable roof until they're the last ones and drop down? Why do we need ladders?

I'm not sure what servers you guys are playing on, but ladders are pretty damn rare as far as I've seen on NA 1 at least. The slot patch made it so hardly anyone brings them anymore. Much ado about nothing if you ask me. Whiners just looking for the next whine...

Hah! Like the archers up there would allow anyone up.
They would destroy the ladder while you try to move up.
Yes, I've had archers rage at me for destroying a ladder that they had hit a few times so it was 1 hit away from being destroyed... and it was placed so that anyone on it when it got destroyed would die from the fall. "Omg it's your problem that it's unreachable, you destroyed the ladder!"
If a guy is using kite shield, has about 3-5 shield skill and is noobish enough, I being noob archer, will kill him. Most people raise shield to protect their face and that's when I strike at their sneakers.. uhm I mean shoes.but like if you wanna be fast dont whine about getting shot, there is a solution to it but like with eveyr solution comes an downfall to it the pro is no more archer shot, con is ur slower.

Lazy, skimmed the thread.
Obviously this means that firebombs should be buffed. I.E. they explode and maybe do a little damage, and if people just camp the spot that exploded they continue to receive damage.
Of course, this doesn't really help if they're all camping on a roof you can't get a bomb up to.
(This would also call for a separate smokebomb weapon, hehehe)
