Yeah, I said in my last post I would, but you should have seen how pale her face was :/  Seriously, this is the 3rd time we've gotten food poisoning in Richmond - screw this place.

Too bad you're not where I am, my wife is a health inspector

I'm out east and normally get ~30-40 ping, but recently  I've been getting massive ping spikes that take me up past 500 and level off around 300. Lasts for about an hour every time. I've tested my internet connection when it happens and its definitely not on my end...

I've been using the arb for the past month or so and I fricking love it.

Its definitely not something I use against peasants though. I aim for archers first and foremost. I can usually one hit them if they're in really low armor. Most archers survive one shot with decent armor but they're most likely blackbarred at that point.

Then you help in melee and shoot peasants.

The only thing I hate with the arb is the slow reloading time (which is fine) but it sucks when you're on open plains and being targeted by an HA/HX/archer. My god the frustration.

Ill shoot at anyone as long as they are running in a straight line... It's the ultimate archer killer though. I just see archers as some kind of prey to be stalked and killed...
One good tip for any other high ath snipers out there; when some melee guy starts chasing you, hit qfm continuously, ("follow me!") usually pisses them off enough that they give up the chase

I've played my main character as an arb/sniper for almost two years now. It wasn't until I made a shielder alt that I realized just how much we get screwed on points. With my arb sniper I can have one of the higher k/d ratios yet will just about always be on the lower half of the scoreboard. My polearm/ shield alt mearly has to run next to the pack with the shield up and occasionally thrust a spear into someone (with only 4 ps) to be in the top 10 consistently. The sniper gets 2 points for headshotting someone from across the map, yet the alt gets 2 or 3 points per minute for basically just being near people doing actual work... Really stupid system

Ive had fun in the past putting 3 riding points on my arbalest build. With a horse you can get up to some great, otherwise inaccessible roofs to shoot from...

Points aren't by damage done at all.  You just get 1-2 points for every hit no matter what.  You can take 80 percent of someone's HP away with an Arbalest and get 2 points.  You can hit with a single throwing dagger and get 2 points. 

The system is terribly balanced and needs lots of tweaking.

This.  Points have nothing to do with damage.  I get 1-4 points for 1 shoting people (rare, but it still happens) with the arbalest.  Don't tell me damage has anything to do with it...

just dont shoot from the other side of map and expect high point for that..

Lets see you reload an arbalest in the middle of a melee and see how many shots you get off before dying...

The problem is much worse for arbalest users than for archers I might add

While we're at it, can we get rid of rain please? It's just a nerf for agi builds and xbows and its not needed whatsoever. Get rid of it, or make it effect everyone equally.

« on: September 10, 2012, 11:37:30 pm »

If people want to have a dIfferent crosshair, they can add it themselves, to everyone else it's just another unneeded nerf.  Bad idea, people really need to find something else to do with their time, rather than sitting around trying to think up new ways to make ranged suck even worse.

I dont play siege so I can't comment on it, but in battle I shoot plenty of horses, still the same 2-3 points.  You don't think its a problem if you can fire off hits all round and still the highest you can get in the scoreboard is the middle?  This mod is just one nerf after another for ranged and it gets old.  There are plenty of archers to speak up and defend their chosen style, not so many arby users (and I think the arbalest should be considered a different playstyle than a regular xbow) so we get the short straw every time and no one cares.  And honestly I don't care about valour, I quit retiring a LONG time ago, xp is meaningless.  Just hate being at the bottom of the scoreboard with as many kills as people near the top.  Had 3 kills after a round today (all long range not easy shots) and had a grand total of 6 points.  It needs to be fixed. How would it hurt the people arguing against it anyway??
