Suggestions Corner / Re: How to make archery more fun for everyone

If you want us to melee, most pure dedicated archers use a Rus Bow or greater, and are interested in being pure archers and want a damaging bow. This means I have to use a 2 slot bow which means I'm restricted to using 0 slot weapons.

This means I have no reason to spend any points into one-handed profiency nor to fight in melee unless I have no other choice (majority of team is dead and outnumbered).

I can actually melee decently but unless I have a better 0 slot with some actual weapon reach or a 1 slot 1he I'm not going to stop kiting or split my proficiency and melee unless I have no chance of winning.

General Discussion / Re: Is archery bugged atm?

« on: November 01, 2012, 02:29:18 am »

On my 11th gen (not as huge as some but a decent amount), all of which were mostly 2h with a one time sword and board in there and one cav, the last two have been archer and honestly I have no interest in going back.

I've had like 7 or 8 gens of 2hander and I never had a problem with getting shot honestly here not even lying sure it was annoying but I would just try to dodge and get into melee as fast as possible not to mention I would always run high athletics and be able to catch most archers because I wore lighter armor, it's not the reason I ever even switched to archer I just got bored of melee over playing it for such a long time,

I just have no interest in melee anymore and archery allows me to play more of a support role. Do you ever see archers top the scoreboard? Rarely and if they do props to them or any other class that does, but I can guarantee archers are not scoreboard kings compared to other classes, we are a support class, I help out the infantry line and try to take out cavalry when I can, and when I'm not doing that it's because I'm busy dieing to the next paragraph.

I already die to other ranged and cavalry in a fight or lightly armored fast athletic infantry who I can't kite so what gives (try playing an archer, and believe me when your team starts dieing kiting does not work). Are you trying to tell me that the sword and board or heavy armored infantry are suppost to catch up to me? That I can't run faster then them and if I do I can't shoot as accurate? This is crazy and I don't post much on these forums even after 11 gens and never have I complained about archers in all my time being melee, these changes just can't sit with me I already have a ton of things that can kill me in a fight already and archers don't regularly top scoreboards and I'm not going to rage back to melee because I simply just don't feel like playing it anymore and I'm not going to let something like this force me to respec when I really want to be an archer, but playing an archer like this or anything remotely close to the system that sounds like it needs to be implemented won't work for me either because I think its ludicrous. So I guess i'll just have to be taking a long break because I have absolutely no incentive to play (sigh).

-Honest opinion from a player who played approx ~80% melee gens and ~20% archer.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: Question about Heirloom pt's

« on: August 07, 2012, 04:05:21 am »

The game has been out for a long time which and everyone on average is making more gold then they spend repairing equipment, so the gold in the economy will increase slowly and it has increased over a long period of time thus more gold to go around which means heirloom points become worth more because that is the base currency people use to trade for them with. It makes it harder for newer players but at the same time you aren't forced to use the marketplace, when you retire you get an heirloom point regardless and with the marketplace you can have a better opportunity to get the item you want for cheaper then if you just flat out heirloomed it a bunch of times.

But yeah the value of heirlooms may not go much higher because people also get heirlooms at a decent rate which means they are coming in just as much as gold is, value may increase slightly over time on heirlooms but if it does I believe it will be a reallllly long time.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Hornbow vs Rus for melee

« on: August 07, 2012, 03:51:23 am »

Looking at the difference between these two bows and all I'm seeing is 3 less damage on the hornbow at masterwork. Anything else I'm missing in the difference between these bows?

I imagine 3 damage is pretty big for archery but the difference between 1 slot and 2 slots is being able to wield a one hander and melee which seems like a pretty big difference but so is 3 damage.

Any archers have opinions that have tried both or can vouch for the melee power of the one hander hornbow if your a capable melee fighter or the extra damage if your going to be an archer mine as well use the rus bow for best bow mentality.

Edit: I should add this would be for a build going over level 31 like 34/35 endgame kind of deal in which you could invest some decent points into power strike. Given this circumstance if you were a level 35 archer would you rather have the rus bow or the hornbow and a onehander (as in 1 slotter onehander)

Beginner's Help and Guides / Power draw + accuracy

« on: August 04, 2012, 10:16:16 am »

I've been looking at alot of archer guides and I hear archery has changed (never really been an archer) over the ages and guides are out of date.

My ideal setup would be MW Rus/bodkins and I'm wondering if 6 power is enough, or should I be pumping it up higher? I really do enjoy athletics and would go for 7 or more if I go above 30 I would even like to push it to like 9 ath/wm. But is this much wm going to be noticeable on accuracy, and would I suffer too much with only 6 powerdraw.

I hear having more powerdraw can make you draw slower and worsens your reticle above 6 but I don't have much experience with archey and I'm not sure how big of a penalty I can expect for going over, and if its not that much of a penalty for the added damage how much over should I go, 7,8,9 even?

I also have read that power draw is in the missile speed calculation and isn't faster missile speed = easier to hit targets. Alot of information floating out there and I have 0 experience with archery so some skilled input would be appreciated.

I cannot give athletics up I need atleast 7 and would even like 8 if I push it past 30 unless power draw is a must even with +3 rus/bodkins.

« on: April 14, 2012, 11:54:39 pm »

Playing alot of games like counter strike where ghosting is a problem, I fail to see how it could be an issue in mount and blade.

You don't have guns that can instantly kill people and everyone can hold the ~ key to look all around them at all times, hardly see how any ambush can take place in this game, its more like oh hey I see you now I either engage you in melee dodge your arrows hear your hoofsteps or I'm already using ~ and can see  this lancer coming behind me.

Now a game like counter strike I can be appearing my head up in long hall on office and get awped and die instantly. This could have been prevented by a dead teamate telling me a sniper was watching that hallway, but even in counter strike not all servers have locked spectating.

Ghosting could have some effect in crpg but I believe it would actually matter so little it wouldnt even matter or change the battle. Crpg is more about watching the superstars fight whether they are on your team or not and being able to see a battle unfold, this is suppost to be more of two armies fighting eachother shouting curses instead of people camping corners with automatics and sniper rifles armed with flashbangs.

Now strategus? maybe it could effect the outcome with more strategized play, but even still whether you ambush a guy or not you get no bonus for charging someone if they block you will still have to fight them in melee and defend and attack, unless your a ninja from behind or have some cavalry waiting in an odd position or ranged? The players will still be able to register you so fast I don't think it would phase their performance.
