ARROWS HIT SYSTEM [Fixed] AND WHY INCREASE XBOW DAMAGE ???

[Everkistus]

Archery is definitely weak at the moment.

Crossbow feels a little bit too good, I still think it would go well with a WPF restriction (1 for hunting xbow, 60 for light xbow, 90 for normal xbow, 120 for heavy xbow, 150 for arba). This way it wouldn't break hybrids or dedicated xbowmen, but it would hurt shotgun/sidearm xbowers.

Throwing is throwing, not much to say on that.

Power foot skill would be awesome if it also defined how much damage a kick deals

Wouldn't mind something like that but it seems a bit forced. Can't say I'd complain if it was implemented though.

As for the power foot skill, if that was brought in and affected how much damage a kick dealt.. in comes the kick builds. I can see the names now.. Kickballer, Kickass, Kick_Off, etc

And how far you can kick people... now if peasants kicked from walls did damage on attackers below, siege might become fun yet again!

There's always room in cRPG for a few of those kickers

But seriously, it would solve a lot of problems with crossbows. They would require a skill investment, but in return it would also provide a benefit, kicking. Maybe with power foot you could get a chance of knockdown to your kick?

This could also affect rageball. Power foot could decide how far you can kick the ball. This way, it would actually have some variety instead of everyone playing on agi-stacked runners.

Found and fixed two ranged bugs in the new server software:
- arrow damage type wasn't applied (i.e. bodkins were utter shit)
- missile speed was calculated wrong

I'll notify you when the update is applied so you can check if there are other anomalies.

Edit: updates are now live.

man you are a hero !!!
a big thx !!! =)


what about the xbow damage ???
they are back to normal damage or still more powerfull ??

[cmp]

I haven't seen anything that might affect them (apart from the speed bug i mentioned above), maybe it was just bad luck. If it still happens after today's update I'll look into it.

[Blackbow]

ok cool i keep an eye on it and will give u my feeling on it
later
thx again

What was the missile speed problem if I might ask? Too slow, too fast?

[bruce]

Cmp is the fix regarding missile speeds on horseback active, too?

In two days balance subforum will be full of twohanders crying about OP archery.

Not sure. It was... wrong.

It applies to mounted ranged too, yes.
It doesn't fix the Warband speed bonus issue, though. Not yet.

I know.
