SAVE CRPG! NERF RANGED

[CrazyCracka420]

ITT: mad 2h / polemy old friends with no battlefield awareness.

That and they were used to not having archers on the servers for months up until recently.  And they are unwilling to try and use tactics or teamwork, because they are 1 man armies.

Their tactic is to overwhelm the dev's on the forums with the same complaints over and over, and louder and louder.  Which is actually not a bad tactic considering all the large nerfs we've seen have come after a lot of noise was made on the forums.

I'm sorry sossarian knight but your build is like what? 36/3?

Stop whining about range and get a more balanced build or put 1-2 points into shield. Not like your gonna catch ANYONE with 3 agi anyways.

Ah yes because one of those shitty shields with 1-2 shields will SO MANY ARROWS OHMYGOD.

Also, if he respecs and change his build, you must start 0 ath archer, okay?

[CrazyCracka420]

A slow moving person is being targeted by archers on the open battlefield, by himself, and can't do anything to combat it without a shield or the ability to move faster.  What's wrong with that?  Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

[Jarold]

I hated archers because I kept getting harrased by arrows and their camping spots. So I went archer and I found its hard ( well for me ) to hit targets far away multiple times, especially with the slow ass draw. So then I solved my problem....I went one handed shielder

I just played little siedge after some time,and i am so sorry that there is not way to put cav and archers there.
So many 2h plated cunts with poleaxes,danishes,morningstars just rushing with their 21/18 and 15/24 builds duying,killing shitloads of ppl.
Archers and lancers would own this my old friends on eu1 all the time. Basicly recipe for siedge is get as much armor you can,get as much athl u can,danish and spam.
I love archers and lancers now,and i would like to see more of them in eu1 because only noobs die to them,and cunts from eu5.
Archers are actualy keeping those ppl from entering to eu1 and i am grateful to them for this.
Buff archery!!!

+1 for nerfing archery

[duurrr]

should be able to chamber arrows with the use of playerskill

sadly i have no fucking idea how you could implement this, what about just removing range as a whole? man thatd be beautiful

removing idiots from the game should be better.

I think the best part of this thread is the fact that Sosarian_Knight is the OP.  Mr full strength heavy armor bigass glaive & crossbow, I've seen you take an insane amount of ranged fire and survive.  I think I remember seeing you survive 4 or 5 xbow bolts in battle on ice a week or so back

Masterwork bow/arrow does to much damage, other think about ranged are ok ... nerf loomed ranged.

Last night I got hit by one arrow and lost 90% of my life, either from Hospitaller_Havoc or ToD, both of which I believe have loomed equipment and high PD (at least I think ToD has 8?)  I was stunned for a moment, since that pretty much never happens.

Then I realized that I was on my alt...
...in light armor...
...who is level 23...
...with 12 strength no IF...
...running towards them w/ 7 athletics...
So yes, an archer with a MW rus bow & likely MW arrows & high PD did ~40 damage to my dude in light armor. 

:thehorror:

In the meantime I've been 1 shot countless times by pretty much everything else at least once.

I roll 10 Str 0 IF and I can take at the very least 3 arrows before I die when wearing my Lordly Khergit Lamellar and regular Mail Gauntlets. 45 body armor.

And as Shine said, meanwhile I'm getting one-shotted by, quite literally, everything else in the game.

[Gozer the Carpathian]

Heck even as a Gen 1 guy in Druz Lamallar I can take a few arrows before going down.  They annoy the heck out of me but I don't think their OP.

My alt is now lvl 26 12/26 no IF and I am oneshoted pretty often by rus, horn and longbow. Actually one year ago I used 12/27 often with lammelar vest and survived 2 or 3 arrows from same bows.
Now I use only tabbart cos my 24/21 no IF main in loomed kuyak  often go down after 2 hits from medium distance.
So I think we play different game

E: Also Ironflesh is critical to helping against ranged damage, if you don't tend to go IF on your builds I suggest you consider it.  that 8-16 HP you could have had would likely be the difference between being 2 and 3 shot by ranged.
