End the bunny hopping madness

As stated in thread title. If it's doable with WSE make it impossible to draw a bow when jumping, interrupts if already drawn. I'd bring up realism, but it's never been important when considering balance in cRPG, so I'll just say it looks completely fucking retarded when archers run away, draw their bows while running, then jump, do a 180° turn in midair and fire. If I wanted to bring up realism I'd say archers shouldn't even be able to draw their bows while sidestepping, moving forwards or backwards, but that would be a gigantic nerf.

Sadly this might encourage even more roofcamping, but archers are mostly light armored and high athletics in the first place. They can already run away fine. They don't need the ability to kite infantry like they're fucking MMO mobs.

Roof camping and kiting any inf that doenst have 9 ath ruins the gameplay for most 2H/pole/ even shielders...


The kiting issue could be fixed by not allowing Legolass to load hes bow while running.

I wouldnt mind to see a real person draw a bow while running and then instantly jump and turn around mid air and shoot stuff..   :rolleyes:

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

If it's only for archers, then I don't care.

If it's for melee aswell, then as a ninja I must oppose this.

i oppose this for balance reason, if an archer cant kite, expect no bowmen every again.


THEN YOU'LL SEE HUNDREDS UPON THOUSANDS OF CROSSBOWMEN!!!


but no auto blockers they were all banned
The purpose of wearing plate has become nothing more than crippling yourself to look like a knight... or maybe its my lack of athletics

Well they'll still be able to kite, just not nearly as effectively. They would still outspeed most infantry, so it's just a matter of running away even further before turning around and shooting...hmm I'm not sure this is a good idea now XD. At least with the bunny hoping they sometimes misjudge the distance of enemy and get caught stupidly.

That would be a big nerf. You would have to compensate that somehow.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.
