Really melee-ers?

[Tears of Destiny]

I would be okay with the penalty if 1.) If did not effect horses (give the dev who did not think of what this has done to cav a massive slap in the face for me), and 2.) If accuracy was buffed a bit. Right now it is pretty much luck unless I am super close to shoot anyone in the head.

Mainly the bullet proof horses is what disgruntles me the most.

Horses have heads too you know.

Horses have heads too you know.

With the buggiest hit boxes in the game. It doesn't work as a headshot unless you hit them directly on. Otherwise the arrow either out right misses, or counts for normal damage.

You can test it fairly easy by taking a horse and shooting it's head side on. Half the time the arrow goes straight through it, the rest of the time it doesn't do high damage. Have to hit it right on the nose.

[Apsod]

Yeah I have noticed that. But when a horse is comming straigth for you shooting its head is fairly easy, tho that is often not the case.

I don't think the devs intended to nerf archery at all, at this point.  They just wanted to make the playerbase full of hate toward each other.

Well played, devs, well played.

I'm enjoying all this rage

I thought archery sucked BEFORE the nerf. I am dissapointed a little bit.

Played on my archer alt again today. Regular tartar arrows, regular long bow, between 2 and 3 kdr all the time. Where is the problem? It's still good damage.

How people with archery heirlooms complain is beyond me.

If they don't 1-2 shot everyone they are underpowered duh!

Fun fact: The amount of rage towards archers from me has decreased severely since the new patch.Headshot is instakill for me now, but instead of ranging I mostly just thinkg that the archer got skills and he deserved it.Body shots are still annoying but fine for me, I think Archer kills are way more deserved now than before.

Any not plate armored fool should be 1-2 shot killed.  That's why it's u.p. duh!

How many non head shots did it take to kill a non-plate character or horse?  That's the real question.  Because for most players the accuracy is not there to get head shots except by luck.  The reticle and arrow dispersion is too large.

I just played a bit on a server and at first I got killed by two shots to the body, then one to the head. I have 18 str and 3 if. My body armor is 28 and head armor is 54.

Here is proof (I went on the server to test fraps)

Maybe just maybe some archers will finally learn to hold shots instead of shooting instantly if they want to deal more damage now.
