I didn't say archer oppose the idea. But there are two threads about conquest mode, and both didn't go over one page, which I personally can't understand, given the importance the game mode has to me. In terms of achieving class balance etc., of course, as smoothrich probably had the idea before I had it, and I don't really care about who gets the credits for it. I just want to see it implemented.
Joker makes a very good point.

I think most people have given up on conquest mode.

I don't think it will happen. Archers need a serious buff. Any new player that joins cRPG and wants to be an archer will just leave. If you cannot deal damage until lvl 20 you won't have fun.


What I would try:

-Decrease the required weapon master soft cap ~150 being most efficient and increase the effectiveness of PD either reduce accuracy reduction or increase damage.
-Remove piercing arrows all together and increase bow damage in general.

My Prediction:

People would quickly shift to "heavier" builds and might even start dealing damage with the smaller more fun bows.
Armour would soak much more of the damage.
People can still play the high ath archer but they will not be much more accurate and will have substantially lower damage
Light horses will take more damage - heavy less   (im not a fan of this but every plan has some flaws)
damage of the smaller bows might even be on the same order of magnitude as the big bows.



I forgot
Make short bow 0PD requirement
PK is back

PK is a collection of elites from throughout modern and ancient history. Giants of Calradia individually, as a group these gods of combat shatter all expectations and ascend to a higher plain of victory that only a few have seen before.

There are many ways to address the kiting "issue" that don't involve new game modes or absurd nerfs to archery. Various threads have detailed ways for it to be done, but given the limitations of the game engine and the limitation of development resources, the "easy" method of nerf has been the one chosen.
On top of that, I don't think that you can point out a single instance of an archer who has voiced an opposition to a conquest mode idea. Many, in fact, have already voiced their support. Don't try to pin a lack of one on archers  :?

Remmember, the conquest mode adresses more than just kiting issue

Remember, this isn't a conquest mode thread, but an archer thread. Conquest mode won't suddenly revert 2 years worth of gimping.
