I'll keep playing archer because i like it, that's challenge, i prefer that than melee fights.
But by now, perform a kill is pretty hard. When you hit an ennemy, and i insist on the "When", it just stuns him for... 1 or 2 seconds.
On the left text, the only kills i see made with a bow are on peasants, or very low armored guys.
I like this game for being realistic. I used to like this mod because it was bringing more realism.
But now, i'm forced to admit that archery in this mod is not like in reality at all. It seems that now, we have hundreds of Boromir-like in front of us. No,n those guys are even better than Boromir (yep, remember, Boromir, him, died after 3 arrows... You think that's unreal ? Well, look at Crpg...).
I don't really know who can make modifications on the mod, but could he inquire about history and realism ? i understand that he has to test some things in order to get a balanced game, but mount & blade is one of my favorite games because of his realism. His respect to the true, to history. Should balance be more important than realism ? well, my choice is clear, i vote for realism, that's the game's soul. Keep looking for balance, but beware about realism in the next patch, would be appreciated. Don't fall into excess.
EDIT : I also noticed that some of my shots were simply passing threw the ennemy, without any dammage or stun effect. maybe lag ? that was my first opinion...
