I'm 2 million exp into level 30(2. gen), and I'm still losing money. All three quivers breaks allmost every lost round - with 163 wpf. I have no choice but to play alts, because I'm nigh on broke.

Very nice post, Vingnir. I might add that a bench press of 230-245 for someone that's 5'9"(assuming you weigh between 145 and 170) is probably significantly more than your typical male around that time could do. It would also be natural to assume that their strength was more lower body/core-based, both from their genetic disposition and the way of life/how they worked.

8 PD bonus, of course. But a long bow won't benefit from above 10 PD, then. Or so i think.

Confirmed. At least if the message "your proficiency in bows is too low" is the application of said rule.

Did a Skip The Fun-character and got that message with 10 PD - 138 WPF.

Interesting!

The shortbow reticule looks pretty much the same at 100 wpf as the horn bow reticule at 150 wpf. Has anyone tried a 117~ wpf shortbow strength build? (Is PD above 10 beneficial?)

Example:

Level 30 (4 420 577 xp)

    Strength: 39
    Agility: 3
    Hit points: 78

    Skills to attributes: 14

    Ironflesh: 2
    Power Strike: 0
    Shield: 0
    Athletics: 1
    Riding: 0
    Horse Archery: 0
    Power Draw: 13
    Power Throw: 0
    Weapon Master: 1

    One Handed: 1
    Two Handed: 1
    Polearm: 1
    Archery: 117
    Crossbow: 1
    Throwing: 1

« on: July 18, 2011, 02:14:06 pm »

Yeah, it's a matter of taste. I'm 18/21 with 163 and I still feel inaccurate. That's mostly due to post-patch demotivation and inadaptability, though. Before the patch I was satisfied with 150'ish WPF and PD 7.

Good post! Very interesting. I'm gonna balance out the WPF on my crossbowman more now.

Yeah, I've also noticed that.

Also, in DTV, arrows often go right through the bots, especially when they're mounted.

I'm currently semi-retiring my archer and focusing on my cheesy arbalest sniper. GL HF.

Firing into melee is often necessary. Consider this scenario:

Siege, incoming attacking shielder(steel shield) and two defenders(1 melee and 1 archer).

If melee defender moves in one direction or uses a predictable but defensive movement pattern, the archer will have more room for shooting. If melee defender engages and dies, the archer is most likely dead or will have to run. Or the worst case scenario; the melee defender engages in his usual, unpredictable pattern, gets TK'ed by the archer, archer dies and the round is lost.

I've experienced all of the above as an archer, and more often than not, little attention is payed to cooperating with the archer. Doing so however would save melee players from a lot of grief, as well as give the defending archers an easier task.

The whole concept of archery is honorless; to deal damage from range without the risk of taking damage. Ballistic weaponry is the very essence of self-preservation in combat as evidenced by modern warfare. There is no swords. The claymores of today will blow up in your face.

People should accept archery for what it is and move on with their lives.

@chadz: Where can I find profiles.dat?

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mount&Blade Warband

Note that the AppData folder is hidden by default.

I had to do this earlier today actually, and it worked for me. Have played several games on several servers and I haven't crashed yet. Good luck.
