Armor bonus vs arrows

[Overdriven]

There is a little bit of exageration in this thread to. When I'm in a server of 100 I usually only see 4-5 archer per team MAX. The rest are xbows or throwers if they are ranged. So go complain about those, archery has been nerfed enough as it is.

Were it possible, I'd think it was neat to have armor which had reduced armor value in exchange for a "superior vs ranged" feature.  So it would be a sacrifice in exchange for gain.  However, don't think such a thing is actually doable.

I'd rather have two armor values, one for soak, second for reduction. Would do the job without such arbitrary bonus.

Still impossible, but neat idea.

Recently while wearing about 50 armour, I got shot by a warbow from point blank range it took about 1% off.  Archery now is a joke.

Despite this, people complain regularly on the forums to nerf us

Yea and recently while wearing the same ammount of armor a single arrow took 60% of my hp, also from point blank. Its no joke.

Hmm.  I binned my archer and switched to xbow because I got hacked off with how little it did on the battlefield compared to everyone else.  All I see here is a load of 2handers emorageing because they can't mow archers down with as easily as everyone else and they take damage because they are to stupid to ally themselves with a shielder for protection. 

To reciprocate I want 2 handers to be nerfed.  I want their weapons to move at realistics speeds according to their mass and not like the blurs they are at the moment.  Plus I want them to have a minimum effective range because i think it goes beyond credibility when you get killed by the haft of a  polearm and not the point.  For a 2hander to be able to kill someone at point blank is just plain stupid.

Yeah, and recently while wearing the same amount of armor, a single arrow took 100% of my health, from medium range, archery is srs bsns.

It really depends on the arrcher build to be fair.

Again, some archers take the minimum PD, while others (Like me) squeeze it for every drop. It also matters quite a lot on the range. I can drop any mid to low level horse with a few hits (Or one well placed headhsot) at close, but have to hit the bugger a dozen times from long range.

Just like some twit can kill you with five swipes form a sword, and others are a STR build to the max and one shot you with the same weapon.

It might give more of an incentive to wear plate, but you still lose a shit ton of money when you wear it, so it won't make much of a difference anyway since only the 100kers will wear it for it to have much of an effect.

This is a good idea if it's possible
