flaming arrows... gooooooood.... make 'dem suffer.... harrrrharrrrr.... ;-)

....and they can set fire to the spam ladders as well, of course...

Me wants them.

On a more serious note: unless the throwing spam nonsense is seriously cut back ( recently another axe killed me at a distance that would already be considered a nice headshot with a bow... total BS), we need some seriously powerful arrows and/or bows. Right now a set of throw-up-axes, darts, lances, etc. is more powerful and has almost the same reach as a bow, which is completely unrealistic and leads to the nonsensical chars we see a lot these days - throwing some shit (preferably at teammates), and wielding a hammerhoid... jeez....

And just as the general direction of M&B / cRPG should go back a little towards the initial claim of being a "realistic" combat simulation (no, there are no little agi-girls wielding a 120kg-hammer, and even the toughest viking did not carry 12 throwing axes... ), these special arrows should be very limited, like 6 in a quiver or so.

Irl a flaming arrow would actually do less damage. They cant be shot at full power or they will just go out in flight.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

Quite right. So less cut/pierce damage, but they can set your ass on fire, which a) hurts b) is quite distracting... ;-)
BTW I do not care if it is flaming arrows or explosive tips (ooops, did I say realism, hehe) or anything else - in any case some balancing is needed, a more powerful arrow class would be good for that.

Sidenote: NO, after the initial tryout phase NOT every archer would be using these. I even use the less powerful barbed arrows quite often instead of the Bodkins, just because I carry only one quiver, go for headshots (which kill even with normal arrows), and have more ammo that way.

No. If you've ever been shot by Wallace's archer character you would understand why. As it is, it's possible to make an archer that does ridiculous damage. Just have to adjust your build.

While we're talking about it, make my shield reflect arrows back to sender, I heard it's the counter to archers after all.

Best ban reason ever:

I checked, the only Vagabond I found was Wolves_Vagabond_TheCruel, that guy is now unbanned. Ban reason was: "calling Zotte a cockswoggler".

Yeah sure add this but add a 2h with 100 speed 150 length and 42 pierce on swing and then you can have you high damage arrows. Allso it should be usable with shield. No penalty ofc.

Why not just shoot throwing lances from bows or crossbows at high speed?
Or perhaps cattle catapults?
Or cannons shooting 2H lolstabs at you?

Yes very good idea, i don't know if it would be too popular though. 

arrows same like trowing lances:
Price: 11000
weight 3
requirement 7
shoot speed 17
damage 60 pierce
max ammo 2

Also like lance you can aim better when walking but to make it fair your reticule is 100 time the size of what an archer is used to (like a regular trower).


PS: Can you name one hybrid thrower that regularly top the scoreboard like Captain_George, Phyrex, daveUKR, Musitikki and co ? (sorry for the spelling of the names)
      Can you name a pure strength thrower that regularly top the scoreboard like Captain_George, Phyrex and co ? (this one should be easier)

finally a serious answer, It seems like somebody has got the point. Cool.

I dont do it for topping the scoreboards it is just for lolchering , (as I said before)
