At least have the common courtesy of giving us a reach around

...first off, I would just like to begin by thanking you chadz, in all your "godly" wisdom, for totally turning my 6 heirlooms (MW Rusbow and Bodkin arrows) into a useless twig and a bag of floppy, limp rubber dildos. I totally enjoy firing limp rubber cocks at the other players in game.

My suggestion is that you heavily decrease the upkeep cost once again for archery and also greatly increase the amount of arrows each quiver carries.

My other suggestion would also be to possibly up the damage somewhere between what it was before this last patch and where it is now.

It's complete bullshit that archers devote 6 heirlooms to their weapons and now both are near useless.



Thanks, for possibly taking the time to at least read this

Nobody gives a shit who can actually do anything about it.

They also ruined cavalry players who find certain horses too high level and never gave a refund for that either.

Be grateful you are at least level 30 and not some stupid bastard who has a 33 build and has a rus bow oriented build not made for head shots.

Trade your looms for a hornbow, and next gen go 15/24.

Invest in power draw before whining on the forum?

I don't think they plan on finishing this beta of a mod so sadly I think situations like these are something we're going to have to deal with.

I like how chadz is getting blamed for it

I smacked my ulnar on a doorknob the other day and the first thing I did was to yell "FUCK YOU, chadz!".

I'll take these worthless items off your hands if you want

Why are you suggesting PD when that increases your reticule, and the latest patch forces you to go for headshots where you need a tight reticule?

The latest patch does not reward skilled archers, it rewards high-AGI builds (who, by the way, will kite the ever-living shit out of you fools. Enjoy as the new norm gravitates to 15/24 Hornbow users!).

As an 8PD 7WM rus bow user, I have to say to hell with power draw. Sink the minimum PD points to use your bow (preferably hornbow, no other use really), and the rest into AGI for WM and ATHL. With the new buff to headshots (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the top) you don't need PD anymore.

was his idea this time though (the implementation of course was done by a known terrorist)

I love how the general consensus is that body shots are completely useless now and that the only way to be an archer is a headshot hunting machinebower.

It's not like you don't deal damage at all anymore to the body, just 2/3rd. Archery damage got increased a lot in the last couple of months compared to the times before it. I draw this conclusion from being able to survive more arrows back then, while wearing lighter armour. Damage was consistent back then, I knew I could withstand 3 to 5 arrows. Now the damage was weird and ridiculously high sometimes.

I've had 80% of my hp shot down by bodyshots done with a strongbow, while I have 60 body armour. That is ridiculous and damage deserved a nerf.

Instead of going 15/24 machinebowing headhunting, you can also just go for bodyshots and miss less arrows and deal more consistent damage.

Alternatively, you could also quit archery. The reason that archery gets hit by the nerf-bat a lot, is because of the immense popularity of the class, and the gamebreaking potential of having a too high percentage of archers.

The game would not be broken with too many archers.  Just use shields, seige shields, and cover until you can advance on the archers or they run out of ammo.

In fact, the game would be better with more or more powerful archers.  More strategy required.
