Cool story bro.it is xbows i mean archers , xbow is still OP... )
This is from about an hour ago on S1, notice how everyone on the picture is ranged, and this is only what remained.(click to show/hide)
or check strat battle HRE vs Haen :lol:strategus and crpg is defferent games )
it is xbows i mean archers , xbow is still OP... )
Hard to tell because of the quality, but looks like 50% archers and 50% crossbows...cant agree with u
cant agree with u
Xbowmans can have spec with 5 ps and 80wpf and still they will be accurate , bowmans if u hybrid u suck in ranged , so a choise for full archery spec only runing like a my old friend ...
Yes, but bows are HARDLY up atm, I still fear the little lamer 20 m away with a bow more than the two guys in my face with an axe each...Yes, but bows are HARDLY up atm (link plz even 1 patch with bow up)
Don't want to run like a my old friend - don't play archer
(Or put some wpf into melee, look at Inhumane)
Im playing around 19:00-24:00 GMT+1.
Please archers switch to another timezone if you find yourself playing at those times aswell.
I suggest studying in australia or going to china for work.
If you are older... i heared new zealand is a nice country to spend someones golden ages.
He was in more danger than anyone here could ever realize, if he had you watching his back.

Well, technically a crossbow is a bow mounted on a stock :wink:
But yeah, OP was talking about archers specifically, but as most of the often discussed issues are exactly the same whether it's crossbowmen or archers I just posted the recent picture I had with both. There were many more archers than xbows btw, and many more of both than what you see on the picture. You just have to take my word for it or go play a few maps yourself. /Not that this random picture is worth much as evidence for anything whatsoever, just had it lying around when I spotted this thread - better examples could be found easily.
And as I'm a teacher I certainly don't hope I failed any testing in school, for my students' sake :lol:
I dont mind ranged... really I dont... as long as they stay on the ground and not on some roof :rolleyes:

This is the scene of every battle, infact, only the other night, it seemed the entire team was roof camping. Pretty much every corner you run around has someone with a bow or crossbow at the ready, you pretty much have to dance around the map to avoid been hit. Now i must admit, there is a shitload of ranged in c-rpg, but that isn't the problem. The problem is that the balance tends to put 90% of the ranged on one team, would be a good idea if we had something so the balance knows what class you're playing, this way the balance would be fair...

I like ranged and few battles feels complete without projectiles hissing in the air but with these game mechanics ranged very quickly becomes too dominating, if not score-wise then by having all infantry more or less constantly under fire, setting the scene
and usually deciding the outcome of a round by how unevenly they are distributed on the two teams.
There are maybe 10-15 archers in crpg who can dominate the scoreboard and still there are usually at most 2-3 somewhere in the upper part of the list, but still everyone talks about archers being the guys who kill everyone...
You know there is much cover on the maps (ok, not on randomplains, but that's why people can use shields ;) ) and you can always use a shield.

"Everyone" is not talking about archer kills, but the fact that they pin down half of the map by being gay on some inaccessible roof. Cover doesn't fix the problem, you have to face archers sooner or later. "Get a shield" arguments make me want to murder people, next time I kill you I'll say "get tetris, noob".
Do it, if you can get close enough ;)
Removing roofcamping won't remove archers :/ They will always be there as they belong to such a game
I say archers do decide the outcome of a round. The team that has more archers and less inf/cav/xbow of compareable level usually loses.The bolded part.
I'm not for removing archers. I'm for two things:
1. even number of archers/ranged on both teams
2. remove roofcamping
+1 on the 1.
-1 on 2. I don't want roofarchery to be removed, but it shouldn't be possible to destroy that ladder that leads up to the roof or just place fixed ladders as I suggested several times. :/
I don't know how many threats have been started about this and how many comments were made, but still nothing has been done.... :rolleyes:
You are experiencing a different breakdown than I am.
If 3 people are on a roof, 2 of them are xbows. Why? They can use the roof to hide long enough to load.
Archers are more mobile, able to move with the infantry easier than a xbowman can. Archers are much more likely to be found running to find an unawares group on their flank where their shields are not directed.
So quit talking about roof camping archers. They are much less common than the xbow on a roof, and they wear paper armor and are an easy kill. It is the roof camping crossbowman with heavy armor that takes several hits to bring down that are an issue.
No, there are a lot more archers than xbowmen on the roof, and archers are a lot more dangerous because of their rate of fire.
