Title: archery server
Post by: Berren on March 29, 2012, 01:21:32 pm
Ok .
Just an idea
I say the devs put up an archer only server .
why?
1)so archers can  channel their need for archery non stop .
2)so they can give melee people a small break as their numbers will slightly decrease in battle servers
3)so they can compete with each others and find out who the best archer is .

Discuss

No archer will leave a normal server just to play only against other archers. Being an archer it is fun to shoot people in the back who cannot directly cause dmg as they are melee builds. It is also fun to hear people raging about archers (what I do not understand btw, get a shield!).

Only archer vs archer servers would suck, there is no fun in only shooting at other archers.

Yeah, the idea behind a melee only server is that melees can run around in straight lines without watching out for incoming projectiles.

No ranged player would ever join a ranged only server since ranged duels are kinda boring, mainly due to the projectile speed.

If they wanna find out who the better ranged player is they can just duel like everyone else.

In order to get rid of archers without hurting the real archers.

Get rid of WPF on level.

Increase WPF gains on Weapon Master.

Make a WPF requirement on all Crossbows.

That is it.

If you belive there is too much ranged on the servers point your whinecampaign towards crossbows.

No point whining about the amount of archery when there is a rangedweapon that req no wpf, packs a mean piercing punch, is more accurate than bows and can be used by any peasant from level 3 and up..

Even if you do create a ranged only server it won't work. The "fun" of ranged gameplay is attacking people that can't retaliate.

I thought about a ranged-only-server, too.

Same as a Cavrageball-server.

And a Cav-only-server.

And a shield... wait. no. that not.

But a femalecharwithoutbodyarmour-only-server! :3 Yaaaah! -.- I know! :( I am a pervert. BUT SO ARE YOU!

get a shield!

This is one thing i hate, Fucking bs archers saying get a shield. I would get a shield if my build would allow it. I could waste some points to shield skill it might be very usefull too, but then the other problem is the slots. I have no fucking room for shield as a cav(lance and 2h sword 4/4 slots) i think as cav you should have lets say about room for like 3 2-slot weapons or shield etc, you carry lance and shield for example and your horse carrys the thrid weapon (2h sword)  8-) so now stop saying "get shield you cunt"
off the topic a little :D but make a only archer server, would be great to see few archers on the rest of the servers , archers are really killing the fun.

(click to show/hide)

Do not add something to quotes you take from others. :P
I never say/write "cunt". The shield thing is easy, either you take a shield or you do not complain about archers or throwers. And I am no archer myself (at least not this gen, usually archer at around 1/3 of my playing time, including alts and other warband game modes).
But not to turn this into an archery discussion, we better leave this.

edit: that was a weak move Niemand.

 :lol:

Archers >>> Crossbowmen

I've played crpg since god knows when and I've never complained about xbows, because they're not that much of a problem (stand still for an hour to reload), but archers who can run and gun with almost the same damage as an arbalest. How about that. :)

Wow... there are still people believing the "get a shield" fallacy :o

Getting a shield :
- Makes you slower, which means you'll never reach the runners anyway. Trying to dodge with the shield down will result in failure. Trying to dodge with the shield up... well yeah but you need your shield down in order to move faster than a peasant in gothic plate.
- Does not protect you effectively, as an a projectile coming at you in an angle that isn't exactly where you are looking at will hit you anyway
- Steals you skill points, which could be invested in useful skills such as PS or athletics
- Does not protect any of your teammates. When it does, you don't move and are being useless.
- Breaks. Fast.
- In the case you manage to reach a ranged player, does not help you at all fighting him. Slows down your attacks and you movement and forces you into using weapons with short reach, which means you are subject to being trapped into a block battle, kicked, and reach abused.
- Is supposed to "bump" ranged players you come in contact with, but that "bump" is a joke from M&B devs, as it basically does nothing and happens more or less one hour after you finally reached your target.

respec. cav+1h+shield.

get a shield u cunt.

Mentioning cav when I suppose you are trying to list ranged counters makes me think you have no idea how things work ingame. The only class in this game that is remotely close to a ranged counter without being ranged itself is ninjas.

I think it's a good idea. I would join with my alt archer.

Would also like to see a melee server with the requirement that you must spawn with a horse.

Well that wouldn't work if people started to go pike and spawn on a sumpter

Boring. That is not allowed on any populated server that I know of.

I meant spawning on horse, dismounting and playing with your pike.

This 100%

besides, I play archer to shoot at cav, not other archers or melee.

I would love an archery server, and would leave regular battles for it. It'd be nice to actually use all my arrows once in a while.
