As a biased Arbalest user, since the damage change, I dislike the idea of having to 3shot zig-zagging cloth wearers. Mainly cause im bad.
-
xbows still hurt like hell. they just dont 1 shot so often
-
nah, they dont hurt at all. took me 4 shots to kill a kuyak dude who was lightning fast
-
Think about all ranged instead of only your own class
-
Got nerfed to a point where it takes at msot 2 shots to kill someone with mw arbalest and mw steel bolts. The only people i actually one shot are naked people and thats all.

Crossbows are in a lot worse position than bows.

No they aren't. The game now is headshots and having a reticule that doesn't expand after half a second is going to be more effective than the bows.

If you didn't know, xbow accuracy has been nerfed, so xbows are in a worse position than archery.
-
Also, I was mainly thinking of arbalest which is mostly useless now. With bows you have a high RoF at least, and have many opportunities to get headshots.
-
Skipped the crossbow thing. Impossible to hit shit for me and I'm not even talking about killing. But that might be me :mrgreen:

If you didn't know, accuracy has nothing to do with how long your reticule stays closed :rolleyes: Maybe you'll have to put your WPF into Xbow's instead of that melee weapon? Welcome to the world of archers.
-
I suggest we ranged people stick together and fight against da melee squad instead of shooting at each other :O :mrgreen:
-
Agreed. It's a little dumb to have to shoot someone 3 times with a +3 arbalest and +2 steel bolts that is wearing medium armor. It takes like a minute and a half assuming you hit 3 in a row. Buff arbalest damage a little and or decrease reload time. Instead of making them useless, make a wpf requirement to use xbows and the number of them on the field will decrease greatly.
-
well, at least buff headshots.. it's ridiculous to see someone surviving mw arbalest & mw steel bolts shot on his naked head.

You know what, as a melee I use gear that costs more than you, I have to get up close and risk my life to get a kill, and I never ever oneshot anyone.
-
Can't point blank a cloth wearer with a masterwork arbalest anymore. This change effectively makes the arbalest worthless. Currently getting more kills with a langes messer and 0 2hpf.
-
you'd 1shot me.

True, arablests, bolts and a low wpf melee weapon are cheap.
-
I mainly play as a polearm build, but this is just stupid, crossbow is almost useless now......
-
I wear tribal warrior outfit with mail gaunlets and i can get oneshotted by bolt to my hand when i run towards xbowman...

That's an absurd argument. You cant strike once every 2 seconds or something (depending on your armor wpf weapon) he needs like 10 (or 15, idk) seconds or even more to shoot 1 bolt. So it takes him 20-30 to kill a peasent, while it takes you something like 4-6 seconds. Assuming that a. the xbow guy doesnt miss a shot b. the other guy cant dodge and c. that he can't block. Otherwise it will all take more time :3
-
Had a long ass day, getting many assists in this fucking game. I can't believe some guy wearing a shirt can survive a xbow shot. Also, I herd that the damage done by xbows on the body was reduced by 67%
-
Sod the shirt, I can't kill naked 30's anymore at close range. All they need is ironflesh and they can deflect the bolt through sheer manliness.
It's just laughable. My MW arbalest is going in the cupboard until this is sorted, from now on it's 2h spam all the way.

Im more intresting in this, if we have now 67% dmg, and if it is rain so we have some penalty, in some guides it says 25% dmg penalty when it is rain, so if it is rain i have only 52% dmg with my arbalest? then what the point for me to take it ? and pay so high repairs? when i can make more dmg with 1h simple hit?
And about arbalest- it is weapon for snipers, to shoot at long distance, it is just impossible to aim in head even with 170 wpf, if target is far from you )
so if distance is big we anyway needed 2 shoots, now we need 3- so to kill 1 enemy ranged i need 3 bolts, from my 13 bolts, and it is even worse if it is rain) just lol gj devs)
-
If their going to nerf the damage done by an arbalest, atleast give it back it's accuracy at 98.
-
yup. The last patch really made the arbalest useless.
Might as well throw it at them, it would do more damage.
-
Your options have nothing to do with requirements for use. Couldn't care less about this crossbow thread.
-
hm yeah, i think they are pretty balanced now. but the demage was reduced too much.
i would at least prefer that i could one shot 0 IF archers in light armor with my mw arbalest+mw steel bolts..
-
Not many people (if any) ever got 20-30 kills in a set by arb alone. But arb gets nerfed. Arb was just fine before. Now it is useless. I understand the addition of not usable on horse for reg crossbow (certain individuals dragging out rounds...). Why is it that anything that hits dramatically is nerfed, even if it isnt quite as copmpetative as melee? Yes arbs could one shot. But their slow enough reload time gave most people ample time to charge them.
As for bows, headshots hit hard before. Now... its insta death no matter how weak the archer. And seems like there are more archers firing rapid fire now than before. Archery was better before patch, at least more balanced for the game over all. Seen some guys topping the charts regularly with arcchery, whereas before they did average.
I say we burn the devs at the stake. Any takers? (cough)
-
Xbow needs the buff, it could headshot before the patch, now it's just a huge nerf seeing how they didn't really buff anything to counter the damage nerf. It is obvious that xbowman should be the ones carrying a melee weapon, if you use an arbalest you can only use 1 slot so you can't really hit hard in melee, the xbow takes a very long time to reload and at max can only get 13 kills a round using an arbalest. Archers have at minimum 30 arrows, compared to xbow's 13 bolts. I personally don't think the xbow needed to be nerfed in this patch, and if it really pisses people, i recommended making all xbows not usable on horse, I really hate xbow cav and i think it's just a troll class.
-
It feels like we've been penalized for going ranged. I play as a 2h/xbow user and see myself more in a support role than a frontline fighter. They should have left range alone or at least buff our accuracy if they're not going to buff damage.
-
I'm still using the Arbalest and I have to say, I'm doing quite good.
But every now and then I see a peasant in a shirt or even naked and I shoot them in the chest and they survive it.... that is simply retarded.
Please give crossbows a tiny bit more damage so that at least naked people die from one arbalest/steel bolt shot to the chest at close range....
