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

[Manabalu]

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

Using a heavy or arbalest without 150 WPF is a waste anyway. Heavy/Arbalest + bolts are 3 slots, nice sidearm you have there. ;)
Imo all maxed ranged are too powerful, reduce all range damage by 1/3 or make heavy armor useful.

My arrows are still bouncing off plate users, I've never had my arrows do 0 damage against someone before.

Just HS a nordic warlord helmet and he still took 2 arrows after that, didn't die.

No wonder, I forgot to switch to the new version.
I'll fix a siege bug where both teams spawn in the same place, then I'll update (for real this time).

Edit: it's live now.

[Zerobot1]

Thanks for sorting that then.

Now just refund me on all my bodkin upkeeps and we'll call it square.

I had a feeling something was really wrong, but could not point out what.
Dismissed it as me being paranoid. Hidden archerynerfs and so on.
Thank you to the people finding the problems, and devs for fixing them!

add turn speed to archers!!!!111

projectiles are going through my shield!

holding my shield up to get hit by a throwing axe ignoring my shield.
throwing lance landing on my shield makes me lose 25% hp(witnessed by me and the lance thrower)
archery somehow hitting me behind my shield in my hand
weird head hitboxes, sometimes i swear my jarid misses but it finishes in a perfect headshot

pikes going through walls, you just need to start the animation over the wall and drag down to hit through the wall

Polestagger has gone, time to remove projectile stagger

This. I am sick of being stunned in the "air" when I jump at archers, and that shitty stagger saves their ass, then they HS me. Pfft.

[Penitent]

Yes, lets remove stagger from all hits in melee also.  It's better to get hit with no effect other than the health bar moving down.

Thx cmpxchg8b for fixing bugs so fast

IRL xbow does more dmg and is less easy to use

IRL riding a horse is much harder as well ;)

Anyway I think that archery and crossbowing should be as accurate as possible.
More accuracy and control will improve the teamplay as it's easier to avoid teamhits. It will also increase the gap between good and bad archers.

If anything decrease damage, projectile speed or shooting/reload speed.

BLACKBOW GET RID OF THE XBOW WHINGE!

DO YOU KNOW HOW IRRITATING IT IS TRYING TO TAKE AN ARCHER ON WITH AN XBOW WHEN THEY'RE PEWPEWING AWAY AT YOU, EVERY HIT STOPPING YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO FIRE BACK!
