Petition to Ban horse archers from NA Server 1

No, not really. Archers didn't really cause that many casualties in medieval battles nor were they as important as you make them sound.

This is true, only because back then people generaly had shields. They wouldn't run around without a shield or good plate armor, because getting shot by an arrow in the chest is usualy fatal, even if it doesn't kill you outright. Unfortunately this fact still doesn't translate properly into CRPg.

you quickly forget the sacrifices these players make to play HA
their skills are a joke ( not the player, the character) (usually).
then again i play board so i could care less.
being headshotted from across the map blows, but it happens from time to time.  if it happens every round, you probably suck.

You just started, but you think you've got it all figured out, yeah? Have you tried Horse Archer in cRPG yet? It's nothing like single-player or even Native. Getting a tight reticule while moving beyond a walk is just not doable, which leaves the HA as a priority target for other ranged. If they are still alive after 1 minute of approaching the infantry (cav on cav violence is a whole 'nother story), then you need to chew your ranged out, not blame the horse archer.

Yes it feels like getting cheap-shot when you die to HA, yes nobody likes them, but try thinking up ways to make THEM rage, instead of raging yourself.

If anything range needs a buff, i can take like 8 arrows in 60 armor 6 IF easy and still live. Arrows do like 0 dmg to me and xbows are a non issue l2 sidestep tard.

uhm i barely take 4 bodkin to the chest shoot by Cheapshot's hornbow and usually 2 jarids with 7PT are more than enough to take me down. all this with 72 armor and 8IF (80ish HP).
and yes an arbalest steel bolt brings me down to 10%.

i'm not complaining about ranged. it is nicely balanced... is just what you stated that's a bit weird. unless you speak of very very long range shots with crappy stock arrows and no heirloomed bows.

i agree here. while i really fear xbows/longbows on foot, i don't feel so panicked when a enemy horse archer come to support his teammates. i really sh*t in my pants if while i'm charging, i see a big size xbow/bow aiming at me.
