--> Poll <-- about the stuff with arrows

[Remy]

We are too poor to buy bodkin arrows, honest! 

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

Btw, we are not changing it back.

Well then close the thread please.

And please do not think about any more archernerfs because archers are, as half the 2h/polearm guys are whining out there, "overpowered" due to that.   

[Zisa]

vote comes down to :

did you loom a longbow

are you not an archer

Personally I missed the great archer nerf, so sad. I like the idea of only longbows having pierce, thus identifiable as pierce (like melee weapons are - no hidden damage type).

[Tears of Destiny]

you lie like a rest of  archers.... all i see on  ground are bodkins and bodkins..

Not lying. Most archers probably do use Bodkins though from what I see.

[Rogue_Eagle]

IMO if you're going to do this, give pierce to RUS and one of the 1 slot bows too.

[Tears of Destiny]

Nooooooooo keep my rus bow cut! It is the best anti light horse bow, would be ruined if made pierce.

[Mustikki]

I think a good solution for this could be:
Take 10 points of dmg off from bows, and add more dmg points for the arrows.

That way the arrows would be more important for the damage calculation.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

And what would it change? I think it would more or less be the same^.^

[Paul]

It would make archery a lot more accurate because bow base damage lowers precision but arrow extra damage does not.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

Actually bows are accurate enough or rather hornbow, rusbow and longbow are accurate enough.

No need to buff accuracy. Otherwise every noob will be able to hit everyone after half a day of archerplaying

My view of how archery should

every arrow deals pierce damage
bows accuracy dramatically decreased, aiming circle always stays the same(like xbows) but can be drawn for a certain period only.
general damage of bows tiny bit reduced, arrow soak damage values for plate armours a lot higher
draw speed slightly reduced
arrow speed slightly increased

[Tears of Destiny]

You want to further decrease arrow speed?

[Jarlek]

You want to further decrease arrow speed?

Arrow speed is ok as it is now, everything else he said I agree with.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

I do not agree with most he said

[Okkam]

My view of how 2H should be

every attack deals cut damage
general damage of 2H weapons tiny bit reduced, cut soak damage values for plate armours a lot higher
Swing speed hardly reduced - this will divide whiners playerbase from real men playerbase
Running speed hardly reduced  - this is a buff to melee characters, because archer can't receive big speed bonus anymore
Every Powerstrike should decrease your WPP for 16 points
Triple chance to break loomed 2H weapon - because this weapon is old and cranky
All 2H weapon with base damage more than 30 must have at least 18 STR requirements
All 2H weapon with base damage more than 35 must have at least 21 STR requirements
All 2H weapon with base damage more than 40 must have at least 24 STR requirements
All 2H weapon with base damage more than 44 must have at least 27 STR requirements
