archery..

[Rumblood]

Why is this a problem, when cavalry can run away forever? Been a number of times I've seen a single lancer ride around refusing to engage the 3 or 4 melee with spears and without ranged, they can't touch him.

So, what is the difference?

Melee needs to get over their sense of entitlement.

2. Carry a shield and protect vs archers but then you are no more able to catch them cause you are to(sic.) slow. ;)

You built it wrong bro. Nuff said about that completely.

I thought all the nerfing: retarded shooting animation, smaller quivers, slower missile speed, lower arrow damage and changing arrow dmg type wasn´t enough!!!  Today I actually thought retairing my dedicated archer build and go hybrid 1hander/archer. But after reading all these whiny comments about archery ruining game, I just cant.

I believe damage output from archery is ok but sometimes I'm astonished by losing 75% hp to a limbshot! how come?

Speed bonus most likely. Either player on a horse can make damage vary wildly. If they are firing from above you, they also get the speed bonus.

Or it was an Arbalest

no definitly an arrow sticking out and one "noise"

insane amount of archers on eu 1 :/

insane amount of archers on eu 1 :/

Per cmp's stats:

EU damage:
Bow                 5,200,246   9.87% 

NA damage:
Bow                 3,644,565  9.62% 

Looks like archers account for about the same % of damage on EU as they do NA.

If there are more archers in EU than NA, then they are doing less damage on average than their NA counterparts.
If there are about the same amount of archers in EU than NA, then there is simply a greater amount of whine coming from the EU side

Same goes for cav :/

[_Tak_]

Same goes for cav :/

the amount of archers are obviously more than CAV, just because you got raped by GK in siege you shouldn't really rage

I'm not raging because a little kid on a horse managed to kill me ONCE on siege

I've been counting numbers of horses on eu1 a couple of times when being in spec. And the amount of people on a horse is currently often higher than the amount of people with a bow

kind fo ture

so if you could get your buddies firing on cav, both lobbies would be happy! agree? :p
