wtf???horn bow have 24 cut dmg and need 2 hits to kill player and arbalest have 81 pierce and need 2 hits to kill!!!wtf???
Well....
Been using an arbalest for 18 generations, of course I have +3 steel bolts and +3 arbalest... the total base damage if added up is 100 P.... then minus (whatever percent the devs nerfed them down) if its raining - 25% (I think), and bowmen suffered the same nerf, only they a more rapid rate of fire. gives them more chance for hits (Points).As for linen tunic, some archers wear those and fake peasants, rarely do I actually see a real "peasant" wearing "Linen Tunic",most of the time they come up with extremely ridiculous outfits that no one but a true peasant would wear it.
The only thing I care about, I get enough kills to satisfy me, but... the points they determine valour yes? Then why do I get 2 or 3 points for landing a head shot from any distance it doesn't matter and when I get on my melee alt I get 4 points for hitting someone once with a sword? Why is it that? when I do decent on NA siege 10-20 kills and 1-2 deaths, why is it I am on the bottom of the score board.
Never had a problem with archers, I think you need to rethink your problem here. I counted shots from a fully loomed Tatar bow with Tatar arrows just for shits and giggles one night and i survived 4 shots, 42 body armor 15 str and 0 ironflesh, If anything Archers deserve a slight damage buff... someone with a build like mine shouldn't be able to take 4 arrows not even counting the times the guy missed. So I believe you counted wrong.
Horn bow verse Arbalest, Horn bow would likely win if you missed first, or shot him from an open place with 0 cover this is when its up to the player to think.... (Do I really want to get his attention when I have to reload for 12 seconds with zero cover around to block his shots?) (I think ill wait to shoot at him till I find cover) I honestly think that range is pretty well balanced in the game at the moment and I think your main problem is you want to be able to kill him without a challenge. which shouldn't happen anyway a smart player will always win against a player that doesn't think.
This thread seems to me just you are angry that a few archers out did you... which can happen since they have a higher rate of fire... (Since your EU- Probably crazy Russians - the one thing NA lacks! that and average skill)
