Title: Archery Buff
Post by: mcdeath on April 08, 2012, 04:47:59 am
The other day I was playing and I headshot someone twice with a masterwork horn bow, bodkins and 7 power draw, he survived. Now personally I think archery is pretty well balenced but that is just unacceptable in my eyes. Opinions?

So on one incident you want a buff?

What was the range and elevation difference between you and the target, and what helmet was he wearing?

Armour gives a 50% to 100% swing variance anyways, maybe he lucked out and received 100% for both shots. My 36/3 siege character has 93HP, he can survive two head shots with a bit of luck.

I don't think one singular incident deserves a buff, considering all the other times you have headshot and OS.

I understand your point but at a range that is relativly close with a light armour helmet it is not possible that two headshots would not kill him. One headshot should be enough most times but two and surviving is just unreal. And Tom it was not you

Tears, your new picture made me lol.
(And I think that archery is perfectly well ballanced as it is)

If there is something that doesn't need a buff it is hornbows and headshot-damage :rolleyes:

A nerf would be ridiculous. Archery is fine right now.

"While it's all well and good to debate whether or not a broadhead arrow fired from a longbow could penetrate a French knight's plate armour and mail, all that is moot if the arrow doesn't actually kill him. A hollywood-ised view seems to dictate that if someone is hit by an arrow they clutch at the wound then fall over dead immediately.

In reality an arrow creates a self-sealing wound that doesn't allow for near as much haemorrhaging and tissue damage as a bullet, and can easily deflect off bone, lodge in cartilage, or penetrate to a shallow depth after coming through body armour. Generally infection or slow blood loss is the cause of death with arrow wounds."

don't buff

I agree, add infection and blood loss for ranged hits.

This poll is shaped like a big hand with a big finger for the OP, which I find very satisfactory.
