Why can't I see the new items on the site?

3 hours sitting behind PC every day to play the same game over and over is hardly casual.

[Gnjus]

I don't like this patch. Cav is too strong and archers are weak like sh!t now.

Guess what ? Robin Hood is a myth.

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

I tested my throwing lances the other day, with seven powerthrow it takes all FOUR lances to kill a pure-strength guy with a bit over medium armor... 4=all four slots btw, this weapon needs to be boosted back into three-hitting the guy I was fighting... and I should NEARLY ALWAYS onehit archers with it... takes two throws now if I'm lucky.

Yeah. I'm playing 1-2 hours per weekday max.

[Vibe]

Ok, I see. We have different things in mind when we say casual. If I would only play 3 hours a day, I´d call myself casual, because 3 is really not much for me. Days when I only play 3 hours is when I have ALOT stuff to do for university and such.

Ofcourse it differs from person to person. For a student 3 hours per day might not seem like much, but for a guy who has a regular job, gf, extra rl duties and probably something more on top, 3 hours per day is quite a lot.

[slimpyman]

if you play 3 hours a day for 2 weeks and you get lucky multipliers,    thats 42 hours... if you play games for 42 hours in 2 weeks, youre a hardcore gamer...   its a nasty grindfest >_<   you probably soiled your pants a few times in that 42 hours

I don't miss the ladders but I think ranged maybe got a little over narfed on body shots.

[Teeth]

in rageball everybody should respawn after you score a point.

It would basically become deathmatch until one team is left and then they score a point with no enemies left.

[Overdriven]

Body shot nerf was not needed in the slightest. Removal of ladders would have been enough.

It certainly screwed over all other ranged. HA has very little chance of getting headshots since the original HA nerf, the HA skill needs to be fixed to compensate. Otherwise the damage decrease in body shots particularly sucks. Throwing is even more useless. Crossbows are now completely fucked in the rain.

Devs really need to use their brains a little bit more. Introduce one change at a time. Remove ladders and see how that pans out. If another nerf was needed after (I honestly doubt it would have been) then so be it. But right now it was over kill and hurt a lot of classes simply because infantry are a bunch of bloody pansys and couldn't stop whining.

Edit: And to those using Jambi ect as examples of archers doing well, they are bloody good archers, they will always do well. Balance by the average player, not by the best.

Get a fast bow and aim for the head and you will swear archery was just buffed

Agree with everything you said, from what Ive read most people just wanted the roof monkeying to be gone, the total nerf to all things ranged seems like such an over reaction.

[Angantyr]

Ranged can now one-shot anyone, why all the crying?

[a_bear_irl]

actually the ranged nerf was both way overdue and completely necessary

edit: i still think ranged should be made more expensive to force more respecs

[bagge]

Lies, I headshotted Dieler yesterday without him dying

I just pity Arbalest users, I survived a shot while standing 1 meter away from Koldborn, with his MW Arbalest and MW Steel Bolts. Due to their insane reloading speed, it should at least one shot someone with 0 IF and 9 body armo

I must say I find archery higly effective still
