Yes, not just any list, but the smallest list as of date (thus hardest to get on, one that shows the highest amount of popularity). Feels good brah.

Out of idle curiosity, how long did you live in Hawaii?

VicTheBear is arguably more dangerous to her own team than to the opposing team.

What are you talking about, a less-selfish self-sacrificing player I have yet to see. She is to be commended for catching all those arrows that were meant for her team mates, what a martyr!

Not gonna lie, a hell of a player in a bodyguard role.

Let us not forget her flaming red hair, and bright yellow tunic as well! It practically forces the enemy team to shoott her instead of the secret  ninja force or cavalry flank attack! With her on the field on your side, you can rest assured that she will be drawing the fire of all archers, allowing you and your swordbrethren to devise a dastardly cunning attack while she distracts the enemy!

I think I got the gist of what you're saying, and I definitely agree that cmpxch8b is secretly ptx, who is secretly Braeden who is secretly chadz' second-cousin twice removed.

I am so sorely tempted to put this in my signature.

This is like asking an agi build to stop backstepping out of the way of your swings. Or telling a strength build to lose the armor.

Archers are annoying when they run, but I disagree with telling them to roll over and die when you catch up to them.

Yes, but a significant portion of players want the ability to be able to beat everything equally, and have no weaknesses despite specializing in a concept more often then not. Logically I should be able to have armor to survive an additional blow, be able to strike rather hard in melee, and have the speed to keep up with the speed demons while at the same time be as effective in a melee as a 2H while retaining the turtle ability of a 1H.

Yes, I am dripping with sarcasm, but it is hard not to when the leading player class (For K/D) is calling for nerfs for other player classes...

You really did not read my initial explanation of how melee works very carefully, did you?   In it I clearly said the following:

I don't why you are so angry

Easier to attack an arguement then read it in full,

Yes, continue the proud and noble tradition of melee monday. Where men can be men while the womenfolk can go off to their ranged servers and spend time shooting at each other.
Of course they will be against this, since if all the melee is on one server they won''t have anyone to shoot at that wont shoot back, and of course then they will not have any fun.

Actually as an Archer I still love the idea of a Melee Monday, as it provides the opportunity to take a refreshing break and not have anything but guys and gals beating each other's brains in, with not a rock nor javelin nor bolt nor arrow in all of the sky.

Get different maps.
On EU often there are 10 to 20 cav on 100 person server.

I find it fascinating how the different servers have vastly different playgroups, heh.

With all the Archer Hate here, I am willing to join the NA side of the clan. Other clans are present on both servers, so we can be too!

I figure it is my duty to retire and keep playing an archer, that way the general populace can learn to develop better anti-archer tactics.


EDIT: What would the clan-tag be, or suggested name?

Quite easy, given you can melee just fine with one? Not to mention unless the shielder has a huscarl you can quite goddamn well shoot him.

Just fine? Have you even bothered to watch a typical archer melee with a troop? We have significantly less points in WP then the melee equivalents, and wear less armor and usually have less Strength, good to know "Just Fine" is going against a better amroed more healthy harder hitting troop who has more practice in a melee (Considering every hour we spend shooting is one hour less we practice our melee skills).

Archer Hybrids may fair OK, but Dedicated archers end up splatting in any melee. And Archer Hybrids are terrible shots due to the lower PD, Lower WP and the massive penalty to accuracy due to the heavy armor they wear.

Also, again, if he is "aware" of us, he can keep his shield up till the end of time until we run out of arrows or get snipped by an enemy archer or run down by enemy cav or cornered by other infantry or kicked by admin for delaying if we are the only one left (Or the team can grab that mythical flag capture/master of the field and keep their shields up if no admin are present and the Archer is a jerk).

Not all archers are game-delaying jerks, and no heavily armored anyone should ever catch a lightly armored anyone with minimal effort.

EDIT: And yes we can shoot him while he is meleeing, yet he can also cut us down while we are shooting at a far target when we are distracted (Other players manage to reach archers just fine, during the heat of battle, why can't you?).

About the only way to catch up to an archer as a shielder is to spam throwing weapons.

About the only way to kill a shielder is to send 15 arrows into his shield, or god forbid more. Can I have you with a 50 pound shield then? I especially like it when a shielder has a backup, yet I think that is fine in all seriousness.

Aside from that, you could kill the Archer via ambush (which happens in most maps due to a handful of enterprising people sneaking to the side using cover).

yes it is hard for a shielder to kill an aware archer, but think on how near impossible it is for an archer to kill an aware shielder...

You need to stop complaining about someone else's playstyle because it works.

"Scissors needs a nerf because he beats me every time but rock is just fine" - paper 

Yes it may be annoying but it is a valid tactic. Do you expect all archers to do fine in melee when they specialize in bows? There may be a few who are pretty good but they are not the majority and you need to understand that.

This, completely. people need to learn that if you make a certain class, more often then not there is one other class out there that dominates you or at the very least makes your life hell.

Tactics people, tactics. Melee troops are AT THE TOP OF THE SCOREBOARDS, but do you hear people saying they all need a nerf? No...

Learn to adapt and take out the people you are specialized against, and avoid the people you are not.

You could make a bow 1000 pounds and it STILL would be viable in camping. And what about Melee troops camping, I have seen that too, yet it is ok because that is called "Taking cover and promoting funnels." So, how about we leave people who "Game Delay" to the admins, and not call for a insane nerf (50 pound bow, really? Are you that scared of archers?) that makes the game nothing but footmen,

The Game is Called Mount and Blade, and has prominent use of a variety of weapons, so how about we stop turning this into a spamfest of 2 handers or throwing weapons?

Just because one out of every 6 times you die is due to an arrow does not mean arrows are OP. My main weapon runs out of ammo, and requires quite a few hits to kill unless I get that vaunted headshot or are fighting a glass cannon. Your sword does not...
