I honestly don't think there's a problem with ranged. (Well, except for xbows. FUCK xbows.)

Whenever a server gets flooded with ranged to the point where it's not fun for me anymore...I just move to another server.

Stop these frustrating migrations to other servers! Stop rivers of refugees running away from ranged terror!

Also, I would shamelessly use this opportunity zo remind people about this topic and ongoing voting: http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,16652.0.html

Actually cavalry is topping the boards most of the time, as usual. Two handers only if really good players are around. Same for archers.

2handers and cav can output the most damage so of course they get the most finishing blows

ranged spam however outputs the most "this game is fucking awful" feelings and makes people not want to bother playing

If you want the amount of ranged players down..
take a look at the crossbows I see more and more players bring along.
Dedicated or as sidearm.
Archers are only somewhat effective after level 25ish.. 
and are easy to kill once you get close to them.. due to low armour, only 0slot hammer and lacking blocking, meleeskills and wpf in general.

The crossbows on the other hand can be used from
level 3 peasant: hunting crossbow + steelbolts 43 pierce!
level 9 peasant: arbalest crossbow + steelbolts 87 pierce!

With precision and power.

Loading at his own pleasure behind cover. Instead of actually exposing himself like archers do.
With full armor no wpf or crossbowskill.
It mirrors how crossbows were in reality, simple and effective way to utilize peasant in an army.

Are you sure you notice the difference between bolts and arrows flying at you and hitting you?

If the balanceteam wish to limit the amount of ranged, they should start with the crossbow.

My opinion is that it would probably be more fun for everyone if crossbows were removed, or atleast priced way more realisticly a good crossbow outfit does not cost more than a good archeroutfit. The respecs under 26 would not be affected by price. Make them all 2slots atleast. Now half the melee bringem as sidearms.

 but im sure certain bandits thinks otherwise.  :D

There is not enough mounted ranged, there should be more mounted crossbowmen imo. Maybe the devs should consider the heavy crossbow as being usable on horseback.

Actually the amount of ranged has lowered again in the last weeks and as usual the amount of cav is rising.

And most people are still 2h or 1h/shield or polearm. Don't know where you play, but I'm usually on server 1 or 2 :lol:

+1 for buff ranged.

It's the 2h's that top scoreboards, and they complain the most too because archers are their best counter.

These "Poor 2h/cav" scared of archers threads are the feel good trend of the year. Makes me glad i picked up a bow, honestly. Shame people can figure out how to use team tactics in a team game and instead whine that their particular pet build cannot solo the entire enemy team.

Listening to people complain about how they can't do anything because of ranged spam while watching them sit at the top of the scoreboard round after round will show you pretty much everything you need to know about a lot of players sensibility on "balance".
