Archery Nerfed

[Seawied]

Damatacus is mid 30s, and the few extra levels really make a difference.

[RagnarLodbroke]

They destroyed archery, now ill have to play with my shielder alt or my pole/thrower alt!

Makes me sad

Not to mention completely heirloomed bow, arrows, armor, and teeth. (Damatacus uses his masterwork teeth to catch arrows when you try to headshot him.)

the archery nerf at work....(if u don't understand sarcasm, its not nerfed at all in effect, ranged weapons still effectively decides the outcome of battle servers minus the "hero effect" of certain players)

honestly archery should work like it does IRL, where you mainly have to have massed high arc volley shots at target, instead we have the gun effect of shooting basically straight shots or very low angles

instead we have "SWAT Teams" of operators on voicechat relaying targets, firing their guns at slow moving melee whose best chance it is to catch them off guard

I'm sure the retort will be "LOOK the archers didn't get as many kills" interesting how their team magically nearly wiped the other team isn't it, it definitely isn't always kills that matter, staggering guys to death with laser shots at 10 feet is nearly as worthwhile

also Archers like sWalker/Nicotine and others have proven u can still get loads of kills with the right pure archer builds and skill

oh yea the other retort to say I have more kills is also invalid, as I'm a top tier player using the best in my class weapon(max heirloomed)and shouldn't be factored into any balancing equations /baltonoff

You still can get on top of the score board but its harder and as son as there is a HA or someone using a rus bow and aiming for you, you are basicly fucked unless you want to start a dance to dodge the arrows i would preferably retreat or even start to run wen hostile infantry are near you but mostly you dont have enough time to switch wapens and i rater get ganged.

What i would do is increase the speed of the arrows for the long bow or increase the speed rate of fire  or perhaps the range something that would by fair against other type of troops class what ever you want to call it.

Just an opinion i still can play like this dosent annoy me that much.

FUCK OFF. You do not increase rate of fire because one bow is faster then the other, you actually have to think about melee. Longbows will kill anyone nearly in 2 or 3 hits. Increasing the RoF is completely irrelevant. There is no way to know you would want this only to fight other archers. Infact I personally belive you would like this only so you can run away and jump shot melee guys who get close to you even faster. So, take a fkn pill and fuck off.

Correct...I don't want to hear a single archer complaining about the nerf to draw speed.  They got that completely correct.

With that said though, I don't agree with dodging arrows at 10 feet because of the new arrow flight speed.  I personally think that it should be returned to the original pre-patch speed, but I'd be happy with a compromise at least.

Don't nerf cav. anymore, don't nerf xbows, don't nerf melee, don't nerf throwing, just return our flight speed and you will see that these other small issues will turn out to be really close to balanced.

Tzzz...
But you meeleguys can one hit us all the time... and you whine that a longbow can kill in 2 or 3 shots ???

Is it fair?

eny1 who can take 3 longbow shots can never catch an archer

eny1 who can catch an archer cant 1 hit it

You are forgetting that mass indirect volley fire only works against groups of targets, of which c-RPG has a massive lack of considering at best you only have 120 players total per map and they break up really fast or spread out.

Uh no. Its from ma own experiance if i would like to jump and shoot i would just go with the rusbow and if you can't read i gived some exempel of what could make the longbow a bit equil it dosent need to by the fire rate specifically it can also by the speed of the arrows or meybe the range. 

Oh and thanks for you vucabulare i really like it.

So what you're saying, is that when I use a Rus bow, or even my horn bow and hit a naked or non armored opponent in the chest or neck, they shouldn't make a momentary stumble and keep charging at me the way they do now.
