Patch and Horse Archers

[Cepeshi]

you wouldnt last 2 days on a HA build, seriously Kafein your logic is flawed which has been proven couple of times and when someone proves your wrong you just start talking shit in another thread

and to answer your question "Are there any non-HA players complaining about this ?" yeah i think their accuracy got screwed way too much

for me its hard to say if their accu was nerfed, as i get hit by loads of arrows and its hard to pinpoint the origin

- Death of an old character: "You char suddenly collapses on the battlefield, and you get a big red colored text on your screen which says: Game Over, you died of natural causes. Please go to the cRPG site and re-roll a new char and next time retire before you pass away. Good luck."
"Vibe: Confirmed, just happened to me.
fuck u devz"

This can be a really big fun for those who spent weeks / months with their character to improve it in all ways. ( heirloom etc. )

This is the craziest shit I have ever heard!
Remove it plz immediately

Honestly? As a HA your only fear is other rangers, against melee'ers you have as much chances to kill them without fear as you have arrows. So even if they are inaccurate you are SAFE. You are trading accuracy and damage for speed and safety.

you sure ? i duelled a lot of ha and managed to kill them ? whats your HA char ingame name ? would like to see how you fare or are you another clueless inf thinking HA is walk in the park ?

A slight accuracy nerf makes sense. But 4 HA now is the equivelant of 0 HA and around 50 archery wpf before. That makes no sense. If the damage on arrows gets a fix then HA definitely need to be rebuffed on the accuracy side. As the only reason it makes any sense now is because the 1 arrow out of 20 that hits whilst moving is likely to kill someone instantly.

But I'd much rather have high accuracy and weaker arrows than be able to 2 shot everyone and have to stop to shoot to do it.

And of course HA are the ones to whine. Because we can see the effects of the nerf. Other players can't. Go start and HA alt and see how you do.

The only reason any are getting high scores is because dedicated HA have incredibly accurate bows when they are stationary and can insta kill anyone. If you sit on EU and watch the HA they ride, stop, shoot, ride, stop, shoot. Which makes no sense.

But devs have confirmed a fix for HA:

Already changed for hotfix, be patient.

Nature of hotfix: due to the fact that a veteran horse archer spends most of his time shooting from (moving) horseback, he is alot better at shooting while riding compared to a footarcher. However he is not as good as a dedicated footarcher at shooting while standing still - even with with similar wpf.

Another advise from experienced horse archers to beginners is that the first level of horse archery is just a stepping stone and higher levels are needed to see results.

Dont forget to add a move wench command to DTV cause thats my favorite game mode and Im not going near it until its fixed =D

[Skurcey]

anyway you can still use a shield, HA need to sacrifice 7-8 points minimum, that give to inf player a +3 in attributes,
I'm tired of the cry babies in here

Makes sense. Personally that seems like a good compromise. HA aren't as good as foot archers. Beginner HA aren't great, but dedicated HA will be ok. Problem was with this patch that 4 HA was as bad as 0 HA last patch. Glad to hear 4 HA will be worth something again.

[KILLFACE]

Seems logical. Its not a easy thing to do.

Ha now makes sense. Thanks for the fix...still nerfed but a lot more reasonable.
