What was your preferred version, balance wise ?

0.263 (actually 0.262, 0.263 was the hotfix) introduced the body/head skeleton damage modifier changes for ranged, 0.270 rolled back these changes.

Wrong, in 0.270 some values are a compromise between 0.263 and before (body, head) and some other were almost unchanged from 0.263 (limbs)

Well we can all agree both are movements in opposite directions on the same axis.

This poll is pointless. Infantry will vote on 0.263, ranged on 0.270 (or on the pre-0.263 patch if that was available).

Why do you think so ?

Ad hominem isn't a tautology. It's most usually considered a fallacy. I do think the situation of 0.263 was better for some archers like zerobot. Moreover, people can try and be objective, rather than pursuing they own agenda.

How was it better? Headshots still instagib now as they did then.

Speaking of which, nerf headshot damage, helmets are pretty worthless against range which seems weird.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Yeah, at least the heavier helmets should be able to offer a degree of protection.

Yeah, with 85 hp and 51 head armor, a headshot from a non-longbow takes at least half my health.

Agreed. I like how it is in AD 1257 mod, where hats and the like have the same armour as here, but any metal helmet is from 80+. Kettle helmet at 90 armour :D

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

I like .270 better. I am a shielder.

Want to produce a steady stream of damage? Aim for center. Do you want to risk a little more for kills? Aim for head.

Ranged is a little strong but it's still well within tolerance.


Good ranged do well and the team benefits from protecting them now, unlike before.

but you must admit that surviving bolt to the head from close range is silly...

Eh... I headshot people at point blank a lot and they survive it (against my 6PD longbow + bodkins).

Examples: Voester (i hate u), Shovelface (dam u), Serge, etc. Ofc str oriented builds, but I'll be damned if Voester survives headshots with a kettle helmet!! Even if you headshot him, shooting his ridiculous body armour is useless! USELESS!!!!
