This is at the end of round 2.

Level 25 with a 1+ Shortbow and 3+ Bodkins which equals to 19 Pierce a shot. 5 maybe 6 hours total of playing an archer on warband.

14-6 after 4 rounds with 70+ players on siege, with influx of new players

thats shameful son

theres a handful of good archers (atleast on NA) and very rarely do you see one near the top of the scoreboard.

dont hate if you get picked off by these guys, most people barely break an even KD

While playing siege on defense  :rolleyes: Oh noes, a level 25 archer hiding behind walls and teammates that doesn't have to advance got some kills  :o

Now post your record while attacking.

Then post a level 20 cavalry build on battle.

First 2 rounds of the map I was attacking,(Typo in the OP, meant to say end of round 3)and I was at the flag the last 2 rounds, never on the walls. (I had just respawned in the first picture.)

5 maybe 6 hours total of playing an archer on warband.

Plus I've hardly had any archery practice.

It's important that you give it a try. Develop an archer char for 1 gen and then comment on the class. This issue has been overly discussed, archery may seem op to you, but you'll find out that it's one of the least rewarding classes. Fortunately there's many masoquists willing to play it.

I have a gen 1 level 26 archer alt that I do better on.

It just seem stupid that I can do really well with archery after playing for a couple hours, but it took me a couple months to be any good at melee.  :|

I don't really want archery "nerfed", it just needs to be more skill-based somehow. Maybe less arrows in your quiver? Then you would have to be more careful with your shots.

Archery doesn't need a nerf. It's been nerfed almost every single update/patch/whatever since the start of cRPG. Archery is fine. Look at your deaths. Look at how many good archers there are and how many bad ones there are. It definitely requires the most skill out of all of the ranged classes, in my opinion. I'm a two-hander and I don't use a shield, and I'm saying this.

Post by: rustyspoon on April 26, 2012, 02:58:24 am
Archery is funny. There are a few archers in NA who can 2 shot me, but I wouldn't call it OP. For those few there's probably about a 100 that would need 15 shots to kill me.

That's the one thing I find odd about archery. In melee, most attacks do a pretty good amount of damage. But archery either seems to do nothing, or a shit-ton.

A good solution to that would be boosting damage for 1 slot bows while limiting how closed the reticule can be in order to prevent snipping. Then all archers would be worth something. :o

It just seem stupid that I can do really well with archery after playing for a couple hours, but it took me a couple months to be any good at melee.  :|

Good for you then, but I recomend you keep practicing melee, before you consider switching classes. In time you'll be rulling the servers like all the 2 hander e-peeners.

I don't really want archery "nerfed", it just needs to be more skill-based somehow. Maybe less arrows in your quiver? Then you would have to be more careful with your shots.

Its already like that, considering the overall kill counts(Not just your recorded experience). If you make it even more demanding, 90% archers will quit. Like others have said and can be whitnessed in the servers, any other class, do way better than ranged.

To me this thread is a complete joke, I was an archer for a couple gens and I stopped because of how hard it is to get kills with 7 power draw, a +3 horn bow and +1 bodkins. Archery is fine where it is. Also I was in that game with you and at least 50% of the people had very little armor on and you probably also killed people who were already wounded

Post by: TurmoilTom on April 26, 2012, 05:04:33 am
I, in all honesty, could not shoot for shit during my archery gen. Raged back to 2h after that gen 'cause I couldn't kill anyone. To this very day I cannot kill anyone above 5 body armor with my Longbow alt unless the target stands still for about half a minute so I can get my shot lined up.

Anyone who gets a KDR above 1:1 on an archer has my respect.

Post by: Tears of Destiny on April 26, 2012, 05:15:09 am
Most days anymore I don't get any kills due to me constantly shooting Cav. Extremely irritating seeing me in a 3/4 or 5/4 score and knowing the 6 or 7 Cav I've blown away don't count.

It's amusing, really. Get a high KDR as an archer and your team always screams out "shoot the cav" but if you shoot the cav then your team screams out "stop sucking."

What with Cav being three times as common as it was when i started, I hardly feel useful anymore  :lol:
Title: Re: Please nerf archery.
Post by: MrShine on April 26, 2012, 05:20:18 am
Being a consistently successful archer is way harder than being a successful melee or cav player IMO.  Throw some plate on and carry a bigass sword and you'll rake in kills in melee.  Same with cav: I just hit level 30 on my first cav gen ever and I've still been able to fail my way to a 2+:1 KDR through bump kills and peasant murdering.  My timing is terrible yet people seem to enjoy jumping on my lance.

Highest KDR I ever got on archer was like 1.5:1 after a gen, and frankly a lot of those kills came from melee.

Fun note for cav this gen: I very rarely get killed by ranged (although I take a lot of potshots), but me and my +3 courser have been 1 shot many times by melee.  And I'm wearing 52 body armor & have 64 hp. I think I've been 1 shot by archers maybe twice (both headshots w/ speed bonus) and a point blank throwing spear once.

Of course this does not apply to everyone. Tzar for example will whine even if arrows would deal negative damage because someone pays him for raging on the forums or something. But before reading through this thread I was thinking "alright, here we go again" just to find out that the amount of whining is kept to a minumum here. This is pretty unusual isnt it ?

I feel that archery should be more of a support playstyle, you know, wounding multiple people and killing cavalry.

They shouldn't really be topping scoreboards because not only are they far away from the melee fighting, they can shoot from that distance and still do a crapton of damage. (I've been 1 shot by a chest shot before, with 38 body armor and 60 some hp.)

This is an opinion.
so sorry if I seemed like I was QQing or trolling with my earlier posts.

A really unexperienced one. Being away from the melee means you're a prime target for other archers and cav.

And if an archer manage to top the scoreboard these days, its because he has the skill to back it up.

It's a freak thing though, but archery's like that. Sometimes the damage is pitiful, sometimes it's way over the top. Fair enough, I guess.

I hate the way damage varies so widely. Sometimes it takes 4 arrows to kill another archer, other times I can 2 shot a guy in chain. You can actually hear a difference in the sound of it. Maybe it is that the dropoff in damage due to longer ranges is a major factor as most times I shoot archers at range, whereas I don't shoot at melee until they are 25 feet away because I'm focusing on cavalry and other ranged. Either way, the variance in damage is frustrating and a big reason for the buff/nerf threads with wildly varying tales. I don't see melee having the same issue. Of course they don't have the rain also taking away their damage and swing speed either  :idea:

It nerfs agility builds to the ground because they can't (ab)use speed bonus to deal as good damage as without rain. Strength builds and maulers have to love rain. :)

Post by: Paul on April 27, 2012, 10:00:10 am
The main reason for the high damage difference are the bone based damage multiplicators(<1). So someone who gets all arows in the lower arm will take signifcantly more arrows that someone with torso shots.

I was in game with you a few times with this build frug, about 75% of your kills weren't even from shooting enemies with your short bow.

Making another lame ass nerf archery post only works when you're actually good at archery. Sorry to say, but watching you play this build I can honestly say you hardly killed anything with your lil shortbow with MW bodkins.

Getting melee wpf, decent armor and ps as an archer is viable enough as a build, but considering that the damage you'll deal with your bow will be greater than what you will do with the melee weapon if you're going hybrid, why would you even bother to use the melee weapon? :wink:

Archers make a choice, they use to min-max their type of attack that deals the most damage and to do that they have to run and gun.

You people.
MrShine, I'm saying that archers should be balanced to EVENTUALLY either enter melee when the enemy troops get to their destination (or have teammates hold back the enemies while the archer finds a spot further away), instead of simply running like retards, yet to hear of one IRL battle where all one armies archers kept running right out of reach of the enemy  men and slowly shot them to death... (I know realism isn't an argument just saying that archer means a guy with a bow, not an eternally running bundle of sticks with a bow)

If you wanna run 'n' gun go HA, they're nerfed and balanced for that kinda stuff, what's the point in going HA when you can oneshot cav coming towards you and you got enough ath to outrun EVERYONE BUT 1% OF THE PLAYERS BUILDS WHO IN RETURN DIE FROM ONE ARROW?
Title: Re: Please nerf archery.
Post by: MrShine on April 27, 2012, 04:57:51 pm
While I personally try to build my archer like a hybrid who gets into melee, asking an archer to turn and fight in melee is like asking a melee person to use throwing daggers and battle the archer at ranged. (bad example b/c throwing is actually pretty good against archers but I hope you get my point)

When an archer engages in melee, the deck is naturally stacked against them, just like if someone with a tiny bit of throwing has the deck stacked against them when fighting someone fully dedicated to ranged.  People keep trying to force archers into their position of weakness... why would the archer willingly get themselves into that position?

Running archers almost always get caught anyways.  If the other team has cavalry or any other ranged left it becomes even easier to catch the archer.  And if one is really that annoying fuck em wait for MOTF... you don't even have to fight them if you don't want to.
Title: Re: Please nerf archery.
Post by: Zlisch_The_Butcher on April 27, 2012, 05:01:11 pm
These archers would not have to change to a melee weapon and fight until the enemy troops has broken through their teams melee, the biggest blob has battled, and probably around 50% of all their teammates are dead, and here they'll still get a few crippling shots off...
I have a few times before (considering I suck at aiming (still got great accuracy though of arrow flight)) gotten around three+ headshots before colliding with my first melee enemies, along with a few body shots, and about 50%-100% of my 18 arrows have been used, here I pull out my awesome dadao (which needs to be buffed) and fight the few remaining enemies a bit before either dying, killing a few (or all of them or none but blocking long enough for some teammate to help me) then getting back into the main group of my team.

Leshma, I got plenty wpf, back when I was on around 100 wpf in my old friendchery I still only got the message when wearing my Sephi Jewshan, my Nikolskoe helmet (with my regular helmet and these heavy gauntlets and boots I still didn't get the message), my iron boots, and my plate mittens (normally my gear is Sephi Jewshan, Mail Chausses, mail mittens and Fluted Varangian Helmet, as I don't get a message my damage is also 100% determined by my bow and my PD amount

Leshma, I got an archer build 15/21, 5 PS, 5 PD, 100 melee wpf, 120+ranged wpf (ain't sure exactly how much),  as I showed my build which I ain't having any big (if any at all) inaccuracy

120 wpf and no inaccuracy? Maybe from 10 feet, otherwise I call total bullshit  :rolleyes:

I see you changed your story to 145 wpf. With 5 PD that is the minimum to be fairly accurate at mid-range. Long range, no way. At PD 6, you are only accurate at short range. And with PD 5 and 145 wpf, your headshots were luck, and the kills as well if you hit with 1 arrow.

The thing you don't understand is that with the same number of arrows hitting, one round you can go 15-0, and the very next go 0-1. If a melee gets the same number of hits in two rounds, they will go 15-0 one round, and 13-1 the next.

Wasn't inaccurate back when I was on on 120wpf either, I might have slight inaccuracy if I aim at a head 100 meters away but you're truly overreacting on inaccuracy.

about 75% of your kills weren't even from shooting enemies with your short bow.

So you're saying I got 10-11 kills that map with my 0 ps wooden stick? Unless you're talking about the map with the big pit when I was using a barmace because I was bored.

While I personally try to build my archer like a hybrid who gets into melee, asking an archer to turn and fight in melee is like asking a melee person to use throwing daggers and battle the archer at ranged. (bad example b/c throwing is actually pretty good against archers but I hope you get my point)

When an archer engages in melee, the deck is naturally stacked against them, just like if someone with a tiny bit of throwing has the deck stacked against them when fighting someone fully dedicated to ranged.  People keep trying to force archers into their position of weakness... why would the archer willingly get themselves into that position?

Running archers almost always get caught anyways.  If the other team has cavalry or any other ranged left it becomes even easier to catch the archer.  And if one is really that annoying fuck em wait for MOTF... you don't even have to fight them if you don't want to.

100% agree with this, but a lot of people are too ignorant to think.

Should be more concerned with worse things like lancer cav and polestun

Accurate means the arrow goes where you point it, not somewhere within a 1 or 2 or 3 inch reticule. Get a dictionary and learn the meaning of the word before you start spouting pure crap.

You know, if the inaccuracy is so low that if I aim it right I'll headshot regardless of the random tiny amount of inaccuracy then I'll call it fucking accurate, not slightly inaccurate or some shit, if it hits what it's supposed to hit if I aim it right then it's accurate, if it hits what it's supposed to hit when I aim it right 90% of the time it's still sure as fuck accurate to me.
All you've succeed with in your post is showing me how big an asshole you are, so 'gratz.
BTW: Your post that I was responding to was even implying that you was thinking of accuracy the same way I was "120 wpf and no inaccuracy? Maybe from 10 feet, otherwise I call total bullshit" as if your arrow is slightly off it has to be slightly off from the start it don't suddenly midway in flight turn completely to the left/right, it may barely be noticeable but it's still inaccurate according to the way you've decided that the word MUST be used in a sentence... ...and basically, fuck you.

"U" is not a word, the correct sentence assuming you mean "You mad?" would also be "Are you mad?", learn English you fucking retard, you're full of crap, etc, so go back to kindergarten you pathetic fucking piece of fly excrement.

First of all, I always seem to give people the idea that I'm mad, don't know why, I've been perfectly calm for the last several years...
...and secondly, if I had been mad then it'd have more to do with Rumblood being retarded and hypocritical in regards to his opinion on how to apply a certain word than cRPG.

I think it would be pretty epic, if suddenly, out of nowhere, without any warning, in the middle of an ordinary round of battle, filled with hordes of players something very unusual would happen.

First, a slight shatter to the ground which rapidly evolves into an earthquake. Everyone stops fighting in an instant. A cloud of dust, spitting out of the very center of the ground everybody stands on, bewatched in total awe by hundreds of people. Nobody knows whether to be afraid or amazed. And then without any chance of taking a guess what to come, a giant undead knight, the size of a castle arises from the dirt. And when he finally got his old bones standing straight he tells you, once his sword eats through your flesh, a heirloom once given to you then belongs to him.

A moment of shock. At once all the disputes between swords, arrows and lances and their wielders are gone. Only with the combined force of cavalry, infantry and ranged this day can be survived. All the things you have worked hard for are at stake and you have to fight like it would be your last.

This was completely off topic. But so are all anti-archer threads right now anyway.

kills dont prove anything about a thing being OP because for all we know you could be shooting:

Peasants - (lvl 1-18)
noobs - (New to game)
laggers - (Connection issues)
afk - (Free kill)
free kills - (Friend meeting you somewhere secret and killing him)
Rusty - (People that arnt warmed up yet)
crashed - (people crash but dont leave the server sometimes)
no weapon (people that dont have a weapon cant fight)

There are many more reasons to get kills so its not a good reason to nerf archery
