Can we please fix throwing?

[Sphinxer]

Gotta agree with Kophka

Throwing got more popular only after archers got nerfed. There are many throwers , and many of them are very bad at throwing. Ask good players what they think about more throwers, it's just easier kills for them (imo).

Throwing is now so slow that if you,re facing an enemy and you miss 2-3 times in a row , chances that he's very close to you now. And if he has a shield , like many people do now, throwing is ineffective.

And axes in melee are blockable .. it has a small range and it's pretty slow if you don't have much WPF. I keep getting block and c/b so unless Grey you can prove your point, I think it's inexact.

Kophka I am actually amazed to find someone else who actually noticed this . Its most likely because of the upkeep which nerfs heavy armour so its easier to kill people now there are more with lower armour.

But as you quite rightly said throwing is now more easily dodgable duea much slower velocity, as opposed to before when it was like lightening.

WTF does that "watched" shit under your avatar mean? Some new repressive measure that the powers-to-be invented?


Also, throwing is the new archery.

[Templar_Ratigan]

I agree completely, since archery was terribly frustrating for some due to the sheer amount of it on the servers. That's why throwing ought to be changed, but intelligently, not just nerfed for the sake of rage.

As for the watched thing I think it has something to do with admins keeping an eye on those they deem troublesome, or should that be trollsome.

As a thrower I say we tremendously increase accuracy and remove croshair.

HEY, why don't I have that? Come on admins, stop sleeping!

Yea, right. Esp because it is so hard to just paint a tipex dot onto your monitor at the correct position.

remove throwing lances...... i had a friend start up the game play for 3 weeks n go throwing, and rape face by using throwing lances, he topped the scores because each lance if used right guaranteed a kill, his name was squire cooper, heres proof

when it comes to large games naturally throwers wont top the charts due to ammo, (though with so many throwers ammo is every where) but what annoys people is this, a guy with a throwing lances back peddling til he can throw a lance at point blank range which cant possibly miss and killing you, sure his team may lose but whats bothering people is that they cant do anything to stop a throwing lance, i refused to ride my champion charger because it would get 2 shot, i could take 2 if i stood still or one if i ran at him, which due to the bubble on my shield being gone i quickly realize his lance would peg my leg n 1 shot me, that is when its op, i cant do anything to a thrower as melee, getting closer only helps them, and sure they miss but if they kill you they just pick up there axes /spear/ lances/ n go find another guy to kill. i dont even know why people say ammo makes them balanced, logically they only lose/use the ones that get stuck in a dead guy, or his shield, other than they have a full pack. 

[Templar_Ratigan]

Well yes, that's why ive always said remove lances, they are a silly weapon with a silly amount of damage.

[Xant]

Yes... and all you need to do is hit once = instakill, then pick up the lances you missed.

[Kophka]

Yes, throwing lances are super strong, dmg wise. They miss just as (or more) often than normal throwing weapons, and the 2 shots per stack make them a little more reasonable. People that hit you with them are good at throwing, that's really all there is to it. I miss point blank shots with throwing all the time, and lose javs into a shield.

That said, making ammo unable to be scavenged for ALL ranged weapons is really not all that unreasonable, and maybe even melee weapons too. Dance with the one you brung.

[EponiCo]

The throwing lances while silly ... well, if he can have 16 throwing axes that take 90% of your health instead of 4 lances that take all ...

But removing possibility of picking up weapons would reduce fun aspect of the game greatly...

You can miss point blank, but how fun is it to get 1 hit killed by something unblockable, ESPECIALLY if it's a random chance?

And if you accidentally dropped a weapon that would mean you couldn't get it back and would then be kicked for leeching.
