despite having MW rus bow etc. and Good balance of PD and weapon mastery points in bow, my reticule still goes way too big too soon. If we're supposed to hit heads, at least take the random factor out of archery and revert it back to native style archery so we can actually hit where we aim. The random factor is too large for the reduction in damage.

/2c from frustrated archer who has endured far too many nerfs.

Do you honestly think you have any sort of moral authority, Reyiz? Go genocide some more armenians and deny it ever happened, please, and stay in the middle east.

and you'd do the same thing if archery got buffed.

I just went back onto my archery alt ofter what feels like forever and beaned 3 dudes in the head with 250 ping in under min, at range with a Long Bow with 1 quiver of bodkins, I only fired 5 shots... I've got 140 wpf 21/15 7 PD and the rest of the build is built like a 2her.

Seems fine. The only thing I've never understood is why PD gives a dmg bonus. Surely it just gives you the ability to actualy use the weapon its self.

It would be interesting to see what happens if you pull the PD bonus completely and just jack up the dmg a bit.

I think the Rus needed to loose some power, it made the long bow redundant. NOW ITS BACK BABY! SHIT AS IT EVER WAS~!~
Fammi un pompino!

I think I have ball cancer in my right nut :(
Good news everybody! It's not nut cancer :)
Bad news everybody, I got dumped :(

Lets all make 1 min of silence for the people who where depending on spraying and praying 2 shotting balanced build with body shot from their high lvl archer fairy toon.

Without ladders an headshots these people will now have a hard time an be forced to adapt.....

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

what is that modification you did there with the arrows? is that allowed? its looks like when ppl in CS1.4  1.5 they managed to edit the txture of the dudes so they could see them perfectly and shoot them more easly, just sayin :) (And if that is the final_boss modification, it sucks a lot) Barbie arrows? wtf guys..

Bright blue arrows are probably far easier to see. Makes dodging arrows and seeing where your arrows land easier. You could also make every single weapon very bright blue or green so that you can see them better. It wouldn't even be hard to make textures single color.

As far as I know none of this stuff is considered cheating by the game. Personally I prefer the game looking like I'm swinging a metal weapon instead of like I'm swinging a plastic weapon.

since you can't control it, its not banable, and since he showed the screenshot he his responsable for his actions, otherwise i would ban the guy lol. For me its cheating the game. And for the record, I dont know the guy, I dont hate the guy, just saying, you know.

Yeah, sure, you can consider it cheating. Any built in anti-cheat won't notice it. It'd probably be possible to make a program to check the file checksums to see that every single one is unmodified, but I don't know if that's worth it. Besides there are many other things in the game you could well consider cheating too, like disabling particle effects removing fog as far as I know.

I also really doubt it gives that huge bonus. If all the player models were yellow I'd be a bit concerned :D

Changing in game textures like that is a little bogus, IMO. Like removing bushes or making scene objects invisible.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

you cry for a nerf, i sigh because i see a buff

when i go round on horseback on a champion large warhorse a blue churburg cuirass and a blue great helmet, that i want to approach an archer i just get ONE SHOT.

they just stand there, watch me approach and when i uncover from my shield, boom headshot.

You know how much i pay for that equipment to get one shot by one shitty piece of arrow? I'm now avoding archers

so seriously screw you with your  F****** whine

(rage mod off)
