sad but true

[Latvian]

as you see 4 of 4 players in enemy team are archers or throwers   ranged in 1  word and picture is taken today in eu 5 which is low level player server as we know and for low level players it is quiet hard to fight against full ranged team due to lack of speed because of low level (in this case in my team were 3 or even 4 peasants and me like level 16 guy) what is even more sad it also somehow represents situation in eu 1 server as well which is filled with ranged ,mostly archers and i was wondering why their( ranged class player) population has grown so high?

There's ranged no question about it in NA1 server but absolutely not as many as on EU 1. Nor GK spawnkillers which is GG.

buff ranged

i am not asking to nerff it or something but if possible to make it less attractive for people to play because soon half of players will be ranged and nobody will want to play such awesome mod as cRangedpg ( as someone said in eu 1 recently )

This morning out of 38 or so players, there was one horse archer, two infantry archers, and one man with a crossbow, and about a dozen cavalry on NA. Good times.
Oh and a thrower somewhere in there.

It would most certainly help if everyone stops bitching about ranged, killing all those hardcore-QQers without even touching them in melee is mucho fun. At least i enjoy every QQ, whether it is on TS or ingame in the chat.

It is indeed fun to feel those tears. However it's dire being infantry in the team with almost no ranged facing an archer stack. I'm not complaining about the power of ranged, I just don't find melee fun anymore because of it. I rather play ranged along with the rest, since it's brings more fun than frustration, the opposite of melee. Siege and DtV is nice as infantry, but can't stand battle anymore.

Like I said, not complaining about it, just joining the fun with the rest.

Yup, I've recently went on my archer STF, it is way more fun than playing infantry nowadays, so I'll just join the assholes and have fun.

Autobalance is the worst part of this game. It loves putting all cav or all archers on the same team or even all the best players on the same team sometimes. It's stupid.

Final solution: 'Buff' ranged!

Make it so wearing any type of medium armor has 0 effect on accuracy or shooting speed.

Light kitting ranged builds will be owned by armored melee ranged builds, since these can survive more arrows.

Melee ranged builds will become more prominent, or at least more capable of killing kitters.

Melee ranged builds will still be inefficient kitters due to armor weight, ranged population should decrease overall.

Basically more armor would mean better archer, but crappier kitter.

Plate armor and such should still reduce accuracy, to avoid overpowering ranged, and armor cost as it is will still keep people in check.


Think about the pros and cons, it might better to have archers who are sligtly better at melee.
