Give archery the love it deserves!

[Archeress]

Just my thoughts

• Press "x" to switch between different types of arrows
• Add Fire Arrows (Regular Arrow Damage, Bonus Damage to Constructions/Doors/Ladders)
• Add Practice Arrows (Negative blunt damage)

-no
-no
-maybe but why bother?

Archery is fine where it is, it really needs no more love, if we could just make xbow require a bit more wpf to use effectively then I'd say all in crpg was good You dont need these additions to make archery viable, archers often top servers atm so its not like its a 'useless' or 'underpowered' class

• Press "x" to switch between different types of arrows

- Sure, why not

• Allow an amount of armor weight before wpf penalty kicks in

- No, you people are supposed to be in light armor.

• Add Practice Arrows (Negative blunt damage)

- Why would this be good?

Never said it is, I had different reasons for these suggestions, but didn't state them. Should I?

• Allow an amount of armor weight before wpf penalty kicks in

Well, I was going to suggest about up to around 3, which gives no penalty for wearing light armor and reduced penalty for wearing lite-medium armors (Like lamellar vest and colored tunic over chainmail)

• Add Practice Arrows (Negative blunt damage)

- Why would this be good?

I wanted to see round headed arrows sticking out from people

Round headed arrows can't pierce so how would they stick out of people?
And again no, you have enough armor as it is.

Archer hater !

Lolz, I just wanted to have more choices on either arrows or outfits, and weren't there archers in chainmails during the medieval ages? It would greatly improve the overall immersion in battle as we always only see robin hoods on the field

• Press "x" to switch between different types of arrows

So you can swap between cut and pierce arrows? so you can save your bodkins for knights and tatars and stuff for peasants, why not.

• Allow an amount of armor weight before wpf penalty kicks in

No end of discussion.

• Add Practice Arrows (Negative blunt damage)

Uhh negative blunt damage? so basically healing arrows? .... NO.
BUT ive always liked the idea of having blunt arrows with like 1-3 blunt damage, or even 0 damage that cause knockdown, for the lols.

[PikeDan]

Yes, This would've been useful for me when I was playing as an archer. I disliked seeing my long-bow not doing practically any damage against plate because apparently I was shooting Tartar arrows instead of my Bodkins at it.

Hell No

What?

Archery is more viable than ever. Stop fucking crying.

I was convinced you could carry 7 or 8 weight into battle before the drop kicks in.  Shit I wish I had a source to reference there, but I'm pretty positive the dropoff starts above 0, somewhere around 7 or 8

- Nah, I'd rather see the x-button used for the indirect shot
- got 7,4 weight and i don't notice any difference when i play nekkid. I read that 7,5 is the maximum.
- I WANT KNOCKDOWN-ARROWS. Ok, no. But Fire-Arrows (That don't do more dmg) would be more awesome.

[Snoozer]

qqi thought it was 10. that sucks ass

Agreed. wpf drop start kicking off at... 8 ? And it kicks harder if you're an archer.
Wich is normal. So :
1. Why not.
2. No.
3. Useless, no.

• Allow an amount of armor weight before wpf penalty kicks in

What? You can wear some armor before the penalty kicks in.

[Tears of Destiny]

7.7 units of armor weight, gauntlets count as double, helms as tripple.

The more you know...
Yes.
Already there.
Not sure.
