Op Xbows!

[RagnarLodbroke]

IM sick of getting 1 hitted by Xbows!
When are the rest of u gonna realise that Xbows are Op!?
I've been gone for 1 week now, mostly because im raging like hell all the time i get 1 hitted by xbows! Tought i would be a little more calm now, but as soon as i join a server and "think" this is gonna be fun, been like 1 week since last time i played! And the first thing that happens is that i get 1 hitted by a freaking Xbows! so now im back to where i was 1 week ago, Mad as hell! Doesnt even matter from what range they are hitting u, they are also way too accurate!
Atm i got 161 wpf in archery and i find myself inaccurate...

My equipment: Kaftan, leather gloves, rus cavalry boots, felt cap!

when are u gonna nerf them!? Ill rather play pokemon than this shit atm!

[Magikarp]

I agree, but people wont listen. They just lobby the shit out of themselves. Yet im a crossbowman too, so Im asking to nerf myself here.

Another whine of the anti-xbow lobbie. If you think that xbow is easy mode, just try to play a dedicated xbowman and you will notice that things are not that they appear. In the time that you shoot an arbalest bolt, a longbowman archer shoot four times.

Fasader = balance
Fasader = xbow
xbow = balanced

Erm I'd side with you but then I read "kaftan", duh sherlock...

Dude, im a longbowman!! Next time i retire, ill try this dedicated xbowman build as u say!
And as i said in my frist post i got 161 wpf in archery and im inaccurate and slow...ofc i can shoot 4 arrows! BUT, im prolly gonna hit u with 1 of those arrows! Also u cna just run and hide behind a tree or something and then reload!

Erm I'd side with you but then I read "kaftan", duh sherlock...

If im using a heavier armor im just gonna be inaccurate as hell!

I get one shotted in Cuir Boili, HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL?

[Tears of Destiny]

Meh. Crossbowmen are amazing and insanely deadly if in fortifications or some other cover while they hide, as then they can dictate the battle on their terms and dominate. However, if in a place with little or no cover they become useless pretty fast as the instant they try and reload, some archer (or 5) or a cav will suddenly try and take a love interest in them, either locking them down or killing them.

It honestly seems ok to me, dunno... I blame most "balance" issues on the maps we have.

Been there, done that! on my alt im using hte x2 cuir boili, im not getting 1 shotted in this one th!, but i've get 6 If, without the IF i would be dead...

edit: As it seems like its gonna take some time before ppl are gonna realise the are Op, what Pokemon game do u guys recommend?

[Fartface]

i dont mind the lower tier xbows or horse xbows.
they need to shoot 3-4 times to shoot me while an archer does 3 to so.
but the arbalest especially loomed is just OP , it 1hits me most of the times i was wearing black armor i have 18 str and 6 if i got shot by an MW arbalest for 70% i spotted him and chased him. he was alot faster got to reconable distance reloaded and shot me again, im an good dodger but he just aimed for like 70 sec and after that shot me and killed me omg

[gazda]

since fasader and half of the other dev team is on xbow buids , dont expect its gonna get nerfed

[Mtemtko]

I've got light kuyak and 3+ wisbys, 2IF and 15str, at medium/long range I never get oneshot, by never I mean NEVER, at point blank its either oneshot or 0-10% hp left, yeah you are simply forgetting the distance and also, with 145+ wpf in archery you can be more than sufficently accurate with -9.9 weight armor, also onehittin players in black armor is either extreme bad luck+speedbonus or plain bullshit, in plate you end up with 25-45% hp pretty much at every distance.

Honesty.  So refreshing.

Honesty.  So refreshing.

I survived three +2 arbalest shots yesterday because I put plate on. Proceeded to keep killing people.
The guy was freaking out and so mad in chat.

[Spawny]

So we have an archer (most likely without IF) complaining about getting killed in 1 hit from an arbalest while wearing a kaftan.

When are you going to make a thread about GLA's, Flamberge's and the like 1 hitting you? Probably never, because you can usually outrun them or shoot them before they get to you.

There's an extensive thread about xbows in comparison to bows, I suggest you read the comments from the devs there.

Oh and whenever I hit even a naked archer over long distance with +3 arbalest and +3 steel bolts, he would not die in 1 hit.
