Aaaaaaand your constructive input to this discussion is ?
It is that there have been millions of posts so far what archers weaknesses are and how to take advantage of them. But still nobody cares and does not seem to even try getting a better player, instead complaining about the things people dont understand still is the prefered option to cope with such things.
People who still think archery is OP, while they actually got nerfed doezents of times and get penalties for everything they do, those people simply need a lot of practice. I dont care what gen or reputition or what degree of fame archer-QQers achieved so far, people who are not competent enough to overcome this "obstacle" should definitly consider themselves to be the main problem in the first place. (which probably wont happen anytime soon)
Melee gameplay and especially shielders already is "ez-mode" compared to archery. I can get more kills and topscore easier with unloomed hbs and pilgrimdisguise than with a set of loomed bow and arrows with even less effort and lower situational awareness.
Lets face it, 80% of the playerbase are noobs. Archers that are skilled enough to kill with a bow consistently under hard conditions would need even less effort to own those people with a proper melee build and armor.
Dont get me wrong, its not a shame if someone cant handle archers but if its someones own fault he or she should not accuse other people for those inabilities. I know very few archers who are able to kill me before I get into melee range but I see many melee players getting kills without any clue what they are doing. As said sometime ago, my offer stands, if you are having trouble dealing with archers Im willing to spend a few minutes on the duel server to give some advice.
So basicly my constructive criticism is to pull one self together and learn something in order to improve, not complaining about the things one doesnt understand or doesnt want to understand. Im sure you are a mature person when it comes to arguments Kafein and I hope you will look at this post with the priority to share information instead of producing negative emotions, like its supposed to function. You can be sure however there will be people disagreeing with this without being able to state any reasonable or technically correct argument but rather making up fictional situation about archers that kill whole clans on their own and whining about imaginary archers that run like the wind and hit as hard as couched lance alike. And I can well imagine that those are the same people who run solo in a group and cry when they have to wait so long to respawn.
