Archery buff

[Beauchamp]

It may have been a troll but if there is archery accuracy buff in the future can I make a suggestion? Make it tiny. Make it really really tiny. Then restore the arrow speed to what it was.

may have been? its definitely a troll... the whole this thread

So you're disagreeing with me by agreeing? WTF?

No, i dont agree with you. Lets go again:

100% of maps is archer paradise for any archer with half a brain to seek a favourable position. The same applies to cavalry and infantry too.
 

The point of our discussion is not who has half a brain, a whole one or even none of it.....the point is that not all classes have the same "chances" of being usefull, maps are mostly the ones that regulate it and i think that we should start from there - every class should have an exact same percentage of maps that is "most favourable" for them, to start with and then let their amount of brains decide the outcome rather then results (and gameplay in general) being somehow pre-determined by this moronic choice of archery biased maps.......if you have xy maps in rotation and every single one of em is an archery paradise, even for the dumbest and most incompetent among em, while less then half of these same maps are practically unplayable for other classes then id say youve done something wrong here, in terms of balance, fun and about every other aspect you like. Idiotism of individuals is not the issue here.

Lol.  I'm sure it annoys the shit out of archers when people do that 

Its a pity there is no M. Jackson Moonwalk button.  I'd wee meself if I saw someone doing that and dodging arrows at the same time. 

Heh, actually it does not annoy me too much, personally, as I know then I am facing a player who can play the game properly and thus is a challenge to land a hit. Most everyone I know who claims Archers need a further nerf/require-no-skill have a strange fascination with ignoring arrows or presenting backs to archers.

As for moonwalks, I would laugh too hard to do anything, we must have this!

Damn you got some serious reading comprehension issues or maybe I was typing sentences that are too witty for you  Let me make it simple: Every map has a favourable places for all, infantry, archers and cavalry. I have yet to see any map that favors any. Spawns on some maps are pretty wanky though but that is another issue. If you think some map favors archers then you just plain suck as infantry or cavalry.

[Magikarp]

LOL at all the trolling going on here.

Especially the title.

[Joxer]

It's chadz word through another party. So hearsay but who knows?

Trolololo?

Archery was OP before, but now its really really bad imo. hybrid archers are not so bad but pure archers are pretty much extinct now. doesn't bother me much cause I just don't bother playing it. but I do think it needs a small buff not to its former glory but honestly make an archer now, I dont see how anyone copes.

Archery is fine now, it is a support class like it should be, not the king of the cRPG foodchain. You can still get good scores and top the scoreboard but you need skill, just like any other class(except throwing ). But even as an average archer you can still help your team a lot and if you take a look on the servers there are still LOADS of archers so I really don't see a problem with archery.

And unless bows will be very rare and expensive archery will still be the king of strategus when it comes back so being a bit weaker in cRPG is a fair tradeoff, don't you think?

* And yes I have an archer alt so I tested it before claiming anything.

The archers that topped the scoreboards pre-patch were also the skilled ones, so no major difference there.

Then you're fucking blind. With all due respect - go get your eyes checked. 

If you think some map favors archers then you just plain suck as infantry or cavalry.

I rest my case, you're hopeless.

[Joxer]

Oh, the best counter argument ever!

Returning to the original point of this thread...  archery is fine its that the arrows/bolts could move a little bit faster. 

[The_Newer_Wind]

I never tried archery before until now, and I see how painful it is! Its inaccurate and slow, I would like to see a buff, a little one just to even it out. Also, arrows move so slow, you have to aim in front of them enemy while it walks and a arrow hits it 10 seconds later, the arrows are slow, but if they made arrows move faster it would be perfect.

Welcome to my world, and why I have contempt for anyone who claims that archery is OP. I personally am fine with the Archery strength as is, though perhaps a very small increase to either the speed of the draw or the speed of the round would be nice.
