Atm everone runs around with hornbows/xbows and 2h/ss and everyones complaining about it.
I was thinking that all ranged should be made more of a specalisation to help with thewhiningbalance of the game :D
My sugestions are
1/ Increase the difficulty lvls of all ranged, in line with throwing. Xbows up by 3, bows up by 1.
2/ Increase loading times for missiles (speed rating). this would lower the amount of arrows flying around the map.
3/ Increase slots for mid and high lvl items. ie tatar, horn and yumi =2 slots, Rus and Long =3 - crossbow =2 Arbalast =3
4/ Lower dmg and acuracy for low lvl items and increase for high lvl items.
This would help ppl choose between ranged and melee.
