Archery... No really, what about archery?

[KO3AK]

Honestly, I play about 3 hours a week now in comparrison to almost 20 h/w with old cRPG, which I think is better for me, since I realized I accomplish more now in real life . All that because of I'm playing as an archer, but there neither fun nor sense in it. I'm nerfed to the point, that I'm waiting for a new release of M&B, to find myself in there. I even started to play native again...It didn't go well . Please chadz, can you modify that stupid move of an archer, which takes so much time for the shot and than anyway, arrows don't make any decent damage. I would be glad to play as before it was nerfed, just reduce the damage and maybe anything else you might think need modifying, but that stupid "preparing for the shot" move just kills all the fun.

Thank you

Im sorry they took away your 1 hit sniper with the fire rate of a small gatling gun, but times change my friend.

So.... you should get used to it. I enjoy the new gameplay it's hard but fun. 

(a little more damage increase could help... but anyway archers should go to hell, fuck them  )

Is that me, or anything ending with "my friend" is not well-meant at all nowadays?

Care to elaborate?

Also the former animation was so gay mannered, the new one is like you are spurring the horse

Compared to all the axes and javelins I get stuck in my head and chest, it makes the old Legolas archers seem rather non-threatening.  Polearm/Xbow guy here so opinions may be biased.

I think the nerf was good and since the patch I play as an archer. It is more challenging and more fun. I like the idea of transfering pierce dmg into cut, it gives more realism. The game is more balanced now, couse there is no more archer spam on both sides. Except the thrower spam of course - throwing should have been nerfed.

I put my archer on hiatus again after the arrow speed nerf. I always liked the very long range shooting best. I always loved to shoot at moving targets (cav  ) I loved being an anti-archer archer. That's just too difficult now with the new speed. Maybe I'm an old dog who wont learn new tricks but anyway I think it was unncessary. Damage nerf was enough.

Did u see throwning lances or something like this shit in action? You can kill tincan by one lance. With bow you need 4-5 arrows. 3 for medium armor guy.
chadz needs open a window- to let some justice from air.

So by the same logic instead of eg removing the LOC chadz should have extended pikes/polearms/twohanded swords by 1 meter to compensate?

To be fair, pre-patch, tincans died to two or perhaps three arrows. One in the head. And with better accuracy then we have now, headshots were not hard to get. 

Archers atm are fine, now it comes down to a learn to play issue.

Jarids with more dmg than bow- contrary to the laws of physic...

Archers needed a nerf it was too good on long and medium range if you want to snipe people all day spend some points and become a horse archer or an archer with horse to run away.

As a HA, I don't think that's fair to say b/c now our aiming reticle is still pretty big even when stationary. And with the soft cap at 30 (around 4.2 million exp to 31), it makes it more discouraging to go past it.
