It does not ... composite bows work differently for example. The english longbow was a weapon of the middle ages wich made heavily armored knights irrelevant in battles and the composite bows where a later introduction to warfare in europe at least. You can't really compare those two.
Realism is not an issue anyway... if you try to be realistic then a longbow should pierce armor like nobodies business even at long ranges and archers would be absolutly overpowered in our setting (wich doesnt compare at all to a real battlefield)

It's funny how people always assume you can move faster than an arrow 

I have ATH 7 and light equipment, and in most cases I don't wear a shield any more. So whenever I approach archers I run around like a madman, running zigzag (and I do it right, I move farther than my body is wide, I am not one of those "shivering" but basically remaining on the same spot. And I don't jump!), and after a few seconds I recieve my first arrow into the shoulder, then the next comes into my stomach and I am dead. I reach archers in one of 5 cases, if they see me.

So again:

YOU CAN'T FUCKIN' DODGE ARROWS!

At least not good enough to call it a viable protection.

If there is a class too popular it's a good clue it could be OP, at least concerning the difficulty to play it. And throwing is like 1 or 2 "free kills" per round, as you only need to throw into the enemy cluster, sooner or later you will hit someone. Pure meele builds don't have these easier kills, they always have to watch footwork, blocking, feinting, etc..

you can easily dodge arrows and even c-bow bolts unless the archer is VERY close to you. How do you think an archer fights another? It is not who shoots first wins, but constand dodging of the others arrows.

There are great solutions to this "problem".... stop playing 2h spam classes when you are unable to dodge arrows and bolts or use a fucking shield.

As an archer i can tell you exactly who is invincible to me and its not the 2hand spammers that stand in some corner and wait to be shot.

If more people use shields or watch where they stand and go the ranged classes are in serious trouble.

Beginner's Help and Guides / The list where weapons are worn...

« on: January 17, 2011, 09:45:51 am »

There was a list on the old forums where a certain item was worn and if it showed up or not when worn .. does anyone still have it? I believe it was the one that also showed special effects of weps. I can find that data still but not the "where something is worn or if it shows up" part of said post.

Anyone?=)
would be greatly appreciated

Well, whats your power draw?

At your level it should be 3, 4 when you are really good (fast) with the aiming and shooting.

I have finished my testings, and I can say with power draw 3 and 140 wpf in archery a non-moving target I usually didnt miss.
However, I needed 3 shots to kill an armored guy.

With power draw 6 it was like you say, not so easy to hit, even if the enemy is dreaming and standing still.

If I wanted to play as archer, I would go for power draw 4, not more.

A lot of people screw up here. Some have power draw 9 and wear heaviest armor and then cry about archery nerf lololol.


With crossbows its of course a lot easier to aim.
But you cant move while reloading, and reloading lasts ages.
The archer can draw another arrow and spam more. Doesnt matter if he misses 19 times in a row, when the important shot is a hit.


Horse archery needs (of course) way more "skill" then footarcher.

hm.. being a game admin and all that i would have expected a more educated evaluation of archery in the game at the moment. You have not followed the tests regarding accuracy and PD in the last days especially what keshian said and had tested?

Higher PD seems to improve aim with lower pd req bows.... Meaning pd5 with khergit bow is better regarding accuracy then pd4. Wich seems to actually be true in my tests as well.

current system is great because it rewards teamplay and doesn't punish tactical play. Teamwork is encouraged wich i fail to see in any of these options and because of the multiplier you also have a very very good reason not to leech. 1 player often decides wether you win or loose.

Melee : seems overall fine to me
Throwing: a little bit to strong i believe not by much though
Crossbow: nerf was a bit to harsh considering the reload time i would have it end up in between the last and the current version
Archery: seems fine so far but we need to wait i guess to see how it turns out. Good archers rule bad archers die wich is how it should be
upkeep: seems nicely balanced now maybe still a little bit to high but we will see in time how it turns out.
cav: also seems fine... still have people using horses a lot even though they are rather expensive now and they don't do bad at all

some poles are annoying when using as an archer but i guess that is not to bad either since it restrics the archers a little

Doesn't work for me on my laptop, using the same steam account i am unable to use my character if i create one with the same name.
Probably has to be done manually somehow or you need to copy the character file wherever that is...

« on: January 11, 2011, 11:32:53 pm »

It is still stupid=P
If you have light gear that is not expensive and manage to get a kill now and then the chances for your team winning increase massivly since it is often about 1 kill that shifts the balance between loosing and winning....

+ its no fun at all not to play the game but just leech... i really don't get it. If you just want fast money you are better off even with light gear.
