How to make archery more fun for everyone

ONLY "archer limit" can solve this problem. Nerfs cause only ruin game for archers.

Like WOT team balance system.

So if theres to much Archers in the server you can't play?
What if theres enough in every server?
The poor Archer won't be able to shot his little arrows

In my eyes it does have issues. It's not a bad solution at all, but it's nothing I would get exited about either.

I don't like archers being almost as good in melee as infantry. If you don't lower their ranged capabilities in exchange for the increased melee skills, the class would be OP.

An archer sacrificing a few points for melee WPF and PS is little different than an infantryman sacrificing a few points for throwing WPF and PT.

When  I was an archer for a gen I cringed at the thought of kiting. The build I had was very capable in melee, in fact too capable for an archer. I also could still drop tin cans in 3 shots average, and still retained accuracy. It's just that most archers feel if they go ranged they need to go all out, no hybridizing.

Plus kiting as an archer is no fun, especially with no melee capability. Then again I do mainly play siege.

How to make archery more fun for everyone :

archer side :
- buff missile speed
- put back jump shot (but keep this heavy weight on quivers to counter kite)

infantrie side :
- buff medium and heavy armor
- nerf 10 or 20% body shot (keep head shot dmg)

i might be sorry for this, but i agree with what this archer is saying.

Just for Imagination:

Tincan VS (pure)Archer ... Archer starts to shoot ..... Melee charges.... Archer thinks "oh oh" and runs away -> realistic
                                                "                                 "                        "            "CHAAAARGE" and swap to some Meleeweapon (lesser than half armor, effective WPF and PS) -> unrealistic (so sad that there is no retreat from battlefield option)
(The sword on an archer was always and ever just a "Keep-peasants-away-Weapon" or last resort)

more Imagination: Archer gets now broken legs from developer: Archer thinks: hmmm "respec/retire/buy Training-Lesson and take Crossbow untill it gets nerved too" -> realistic
                                                           "                                        :       "            : hmmm "                  "                                    and get on Horse because my leg is broken -> realistic

alot more Imagination: Ppl start having balls and accept ALL MAINLY RANGED CLASSES try to kite if possible (I think you would also reload your Gun instead of swinging a swiss-knife) -> unrealistic?

Can we now just play instead of discuss a neverending story?
