In a week I will be creating a poll with five options (Melee player hates/likes new archery, archer hates/likes new archery, don't care) just to see what people's opinions are.

As of now, this is a mess in my opinion. I have turned from a sniper, to a walking turret of death. Stay far away from me and you no longer fear me, but god help you if you wander anywhere near my MW Rus Bow now or I will blow your brains out. I can even reliably one shot coursers now, and pick apart all by myself Cataphracts. This is beyond idiotic. I also laugh at the black plate users that are going broke and are still being shot to hell.

FYI I am using standard arrows. If I were to switch to Bodkins I would lose some money, but I also notice (btw arrows break retardedly often) that I can one shot a disturbing amount of people in chain, and only my ex-warbow (now Rus bow) is MWed, not my bodkins...

TL:DR I can no longer snipe as anyone with half a brain can dodge, but come within 15 or 20 meters of me and you are a dead man walking.


EDIT: Did I mention that my build was 18/21, and now I am working for a 27/18 build at level 33? At 30 I will still be 24/18... Do you really want 8/9PD archers taking advantage of this new insta-death short range crap that we are pretending is archery?

My alt is a archer with 24/18 and I got 8 PD, I 3-4 shoot like everything with a standard horn bow

You're doing it wrong.

You're doing it wrong.

I know "use a longbow blablabla"

[Thovex]

just nerf the god throwing... thrower are the the NO1 gay class on my list...second is xbowman and then its HA.

This change to throwing just gonna make tons of ppl grabing 4 bags of throwing lances and start the spam.

No shit, your a HA lol.

Edit: Time to retire to shielder and thrower.

The lowered missile speed sucks...

My mw-longbow has a rage like a toy-bow for kids...

The max rage is only 150meters now.
The max rage of a very very good longbow could be up to 500meters in real (with special flight-arrows).

My arrows are flying like in timewarp... it looks so bad and unrealistic.
Ich hope they will give us the old missile speed back.

Arrows Damage is back to normal, come out pure melee lets start swinging again

[Brutal]

RIP archers  Welcome back throwers

Must....resist........GTXting....damn..you......horse.archers!

Seriously don't buff these guys, I don't really mind them being better as a class, but horse archers delay. More horse archers, means more delaying. I hate that every round gets extended by two minutes because a horsearcher must shoot all of his 148 arrows at a huscarl shield before he can die.

[Old_Archer]

It is necessary to return former missile speed. Speed of flight of arrows is contradiction laws of physics, chadz apparently never in life did not see flying arrows. What does he count on? Yes, archers will disappear, because to put to death nobody it is now impossible, now two-handed swords and horse will kill all with impunity. Remote resemblance of balance, which appeared in a previous patch disappeared now. Or archers will sit down on horse that to shoot from distance of two meters. chadz kill mod. Again. I in this shit will not play, will go better in Native. Sorry to bad English.

But I like headshotting you on round start  Only the bad HA delay. And when you guys were complaining that they were delaying and started a vote kick, they were pounding arrows into several of you're team and weaving in and out of you and killing a few of you. Inf automatically claim delaying if it's an HA that's last, regardless of whether the other person/few people have shields or not. It's automatic inf raging.

Anyway...you won't see to many HA no if they have to be dedicated to play it properly. From what Paul said and from speaking to people who have just gone up levels since the hotfix you need 3-4 HA to actually make a difference now. 1-2 HA does bugger all. So only proper dedicated HA will be dangerous and those are the ones that won't delay deliberately.

Not that most do anyway.

Archers were at first compelled to inlay everything in a bow, endowing all other skills. Now did their unfit for action.
