Buff Archers!

[Cyclopsided]

imo archers should get 50% damage boost, at  least.

Poor troll thread 5/10, needs more effort.

5/10? I couldn't rate this nearly that well. A buff archery thread of this time being taken seriously XDXDXD

Oh, In case you guys didn't know, Maybe it is a bug but headshots for archers give shit for points. I headshot people from full HP, I only get 2 points. Sometimes three points? If I body shot the same person twice, I'll get 6-8 points. What is this bullshit? Why Am I punished for skill?
Thank god I don't try to get points, just try to help my team. If for my own score, I'd only bodyshot.

Look, here's a screenshot from BEFORE the nerf to points, almost all headshot kills. Lots of points for carrying team:

You even see me headshot two people in the screenshot!

Now here's a screenshot after the point nerf, Again mostly headshot kills but most of my points are from two downed horsemen, supporting my team from melee distance as an archer:

 Bad example because I killed some horses hich gave me points, but I'll take a better screenshot next time I play and do a headshot spree.

Halfway down the scoreboard in points, even though I carried my team. FYI, I play archer as if I'm a pikeman, it is much better than the panzy shit most archers do by shooting at people form a distance? WHy?
I even have 0 athletics (until today, I hit level 32 and now finished my build, 2 athletics! woo!)
I don't have the screenshot of it because I didn't take it, but on One map yesterday I did 10 headhsots in a  row, 10-0 for my team and I had 21 points.
21. 2 points per headshot kill. 1 for a proximity kill. I've been mad that skill goes unrewarded all day since I realized this.

I don't get it.
back on topic though, JESUS CHRIST DON'T BUFF ARCHERY, IT IS SO OP I FEEL DIRTY PLAYING IT.

Actually, Don't buff Agility archers (what I am and they are OP), High strength, particularly 10 PD archers however are godawful and need some love. I don't understand how Shik can play it. After doing some testing with him,I do the same damage as him with 6 PD. Fucking broken, fix your shit, his damage drops off to mine after 25 M. only at point-blank shots does he do more damage than me, and not by much.

TO BE CLEAR ON THIS
I WANT HEADSHOT KILLS TO GIVE THE SAME POINTS AS IF I BODYSHOT THEM TO DEATH. I don't like that skill is actively punished under this point system. Thanks.

I WANT CAKE this tread is about cake right?

I feel medium non-loomed archer is too weak. We have to look on big perspective tho.

Kunio has 10 PD and is not 1shoting everyone ..

headshotting people has nothing to do with skill and everything to do with the COF RNG

Boromir makes your point invalid

Although archery is gimped I dont see buffing it will help the game much. Cav is the one main problem in this game

explain plz?

Well the fact that the projectile goes in a random pattern everytime does not help the skill factor. Spam and get lucky is the only option most of the time unless the enemy is really close

Skill is a factor. There are some archers out there, famous for their score. (Often used as escape goats for nerf threads)

Well its not hard to get a good score when you target people in light armour and weaker opponents with a masterwork bow and arrow. Kills does not always = skills

When your projectile moves all over the place its all about spam and getting lucky once you figure out the projectile speed and arch, also the build is a huge factor i guess

[darmaster]

are you serious? ARE YOU SERIOUS?  ARE YOU SERIOUS?

*sees heavy gauntlets*

You probably have 55-60+ body armor with all that. Some arrows hit your arms, too. I would consider yourself a bit lucky, depending on the archers who shot you, though. Some poor melee builds with only 40ish body armor do feel pain from arrows.

EDIT:

If you see him play, Cyclopsided is uncomfortably close.
