Petition to revert the ranged nerf

[obitus]

keep ladders removed

revert half the dmg change

[Kutlas]

i recently changed to archery and i say no... archery is fine but throwing needs a buff

[Penitent]

I just edited the poll, to be more percise to what I am thinking of. Perhaps the question was kept too general, now it's really concrete. I hope I didn't falsificate the result by this 

Yeah, the question you have for the poll is completely different than what it is now.  The results will be way off.  Lots of people are happy with the game, but would like to see the nerf rescinded.  I'd start anew for more accurate results!

[Miwiw]

Archers are alright now imo. However I guess any shots to the head, should result in instant death, regardless the head armor.. You know thats why they are called headshots. The head armor should just be for melee hits to the head.

(and no, I am no archer currently)

[Boerenlater]

Nerf range more plz.

[Sagar]

NO no revert. Archery is not nerfed, it is right where it should be. Or nerf them more.

[Meow]

Or nerf them more.

No.
I agree that foot archers are kinda fine.
For me it's just sad because i run a high str build and they hit me 3 times and i take like 1/3 damage max.

What really needs to be fixed is the slow crossbows and throwing.

Head shots do too much damage. Remind me again why ranged headshot damage was buffed, and 210% was thought to be too low?

[Lorenzo]

I dont even think that it is a nerf.

I've always been a mid-close range archer with lots of Wpf and I only aim at the head. For me, it's not a nerf at all, it's just a new way of calculating things so my aim and my skill is rewarded.

It's way harder to rack up kills as an archer now, and I think it's ok like that. I have to take my time and focus on an ennemy to hit his head, I can no longer just quick-shot in a big group and hoping to get a kill.

Even more cool, It's now easy to help an ally in a close range fight without having the fear of killing my friend if I miss.

The big difference i've seen is against horses, does the hs dmg is increased on horses head? If it is, it's cool, I can be even more effective taking down the cav.

To conclude; yeah it's harder to get a high score, even harder to save myself when i'm being chased but this new system reward skill rather than luck so overall it's a good change, not a nerf.

(i'm an agy based archer with a horn bow, so I have the opportynity to take my time or even miss a shot, a str based archer would probably not think like me...)

As others have said; archery is fine but xbow and throwing need to be buffed. I'm quite pleased to hear there might some lance diversity soon though.

Glad to hear that you feel it's going into the right direction, also as you said, lots of people went higher str to deal massive damage before.
Especially for people above 31 this is pretty hardcore.

Damage changes also apply to horses, less body damage - more head shot damage.

What i can tell everyone who is ranged right now, especially people above 30 is to wait a bit longer and not rage quit the class right away.

The goal is balance not making stuff useless.

True, those who went for longbows are more or less fucked now :/

And no, I'm not strength archer, before reaching lvl 32 I always had 2 wm more than pd

Archer here and voted no on reverting the nerf. I do believe the body shots should do more damage. I shot hobo for a test yesterday with a shirt and did 1/3 his health. I purposefully went for his chest so that's pretty low. I think the nerf is fine otherwise. Course this is a balanced archer build with a horn bow.

Xbows and throwing need to be fixed though. Throwing was fine before the patch.

[Aseldo]

I voted yes, but lets be honest some good 2hander is going to die to range and get butthurt and range will get nerfed again. gg

No.

So you admit that being hit 3 times barely hurts you, but you think foot archers are fine. wat
