It was my first game in 5 months, and they crash it on me.  Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking...

Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Power Draw in current version of cRPG?

« on: August 04, 2011, 11:36:26 pm »

As an archer that has played nothing else (except a skill 13 shielder ), I can tell you that there are many variables to accuracy, not just crosshair size. 

The speed of the arrow for example.  IF people can just stepp out of the way, what is the point of having a small crosshair?  Also, having the accuracy big, but being able to drop anyone does no good either.  I recommend  the Rus bow, 8 pd, 6 WM, and 6 Athletics.

Actually the archery element to the game is the most realistic ive seen on a sim.

Yeah?  Ever try to dodge an arrow from 20 feet?  I could throw a baseball that you could not dodge from that distance.

I guess it boils down to what you want. Realism or balance? A realistic model of medieval warfare or counterstrike?

And we have neither.

Game Balance Discussion / Re: Rolled an archer alt

« on: July 15, 2011, 07:08:20 pm »

Lol I love how all these melee players roll archers alts then make claims as to how easy archery is. First of all I never once seen any of these melee players who roll archer for a gen even come close to topping the boards, or anybodies archer alts for that matter either. It's always been the same handful of hardcore archers who are the only few who retain the ability to top score ingame. So I laugh everytime I see these fools state they have an archer alt and that they do so well, yet I never see any new names top the scoreboards as an archer

Also archers are extremely hard to play pre level 25. I know on my melee alt i'll be able to maintain a 2:1 kd as early as level 15 and i'm not even a strong melee player, good luck doing that with archery.

I am a very strong supporter of at least repatching the archer's shoot speed so they may once again assume their role as a support class instead of a team hitting threat to your back side.

You want to show me an archer that tops the leader boards even pre-patch?

Suggestions Corner / Re: Feeling your effectiveness

I like this idea, or maybe even a combat log would be nice.

ie:

You did X dmg to Arkonor

Arkonor hits you for X

I would like to know how much dmg I am doing as well.

It would be cool, but it might hide a lot of the screen and be busy.  Maybe an end of the round thing?

Less fun?
My freedom ends when the other people's freedom begins.
Same for fun.

Just because it was fun for a HA to circle a group of infantry, showering arrows on them, doesn't mean it was fun for the inf.
Same for lances.

There are different kind of games that give you a different type of fun. In cRPG, we're trying to give fun by challenge. This means that limitations are necessary to allow the better players to achieve a better performance. This was achieved, as far as I can see.

Funny how your classes were not changed to "increase fun..."

Its been said many times before, but a good archer is about more than damage and kills. On an open plains map, the archers can support their infantry with precise shots into the enemy's flank, disrupting their attacks and blocks and allowing the friendly infantry to take the kill.

that is good and all, but with the new arrow speed there are no more precise shots, just aiming way ahead, and hoping the target continues on course.  IT is near impossible to shoot into combat now.  Before it was risky, now it is stupid.

- Arrow speed.  Please go back to last version!

Yeah.  Arrows have been going through people.  Before, reloading crossbowmen sometimes were "not there", but now it happen several times a match.

« on: July 13, 2011, 10:08:07 am »

It is much harder.  Just hitting people with the slow speed is hard.  Also, the Heirlooms do not help any more (not really), so +3 bows are not really worth it.

The damage is not changed too much, but i have noticed that vs high armor I never get kills unless I head shot.

So.  I got on last night, and was surprised to shoot my own foot with my strong bow, while aiming 45 degrees up...

The Missile speed is SO slow.  It stupid.  I know everyone likes to bitch and complain about archery, but it already sucked.  And now it is only viable at extreme close range, and then it is a fail because we can't go through armor, so we hit once, twice, or three times, then we get one hit by a two hand spammer.  When I turn to run, to maybe get a fourth or fifth shot (to maybe almost kill a 2 hander tin can), people ridicule me and call me a delayer.  That is the only way Archers can get kills one on one now. 

Now we can't ever try to shoot ast people far away.  We have to leed them like 10 feet at 40 paces.  So stupid.  Please just take archery back to a week ago.  We still did nought for damage, but at least we we could hit people, and have a small chance.
