Is archery bugged atm?

[Mogh]

seriously, all u archers need to stop crying and deal with it.
if you want to be able to shoot properly, dont give too many points to ath, its a FAIR DEAL, no more frikkin kiters. u get attacked by a melee player, u'll need to just fight back with ur side weapon and not kite.

Yes! When a lightly armed and armored warrior is charged by a plate armored giant wielding a massive sword his first instinct should be "go toe to toe with him!"

teamplay? stay close to ur own melee fighters, once they get close, u'll be able to assist
not run up a hill and hope that u can keep running everytime someone approaches u

Hm, intredasting

I think archers deserve a free respec.

I'm level 32, sitting at 22 million exp. Pure archer build.

8 Power Draw, 6 Wpm, 6 Athletics.

So now I'm required to use the force to shoot a bow and hope for the best.

The game mechanics needs to stop being fiddled with. If the sole purpose of all of this is to nerf kiting archers (I really don't see why, i can only assume the flows of 2handers has been what could be described as rivers) then why didn't you just keep the extra weight on the bow and arrows and be done with it? Why would you fiddle with game mechanics?

this ath penalty nerf doesn't apply to archers only, so they arent nerfing archers, they remove kiters but also, dont make them underpowered by nerfing agility melee builds.

so in fact, this is a melee nerf.

Oi it's bugged. Archers stop whining until they fix it.

Once it's fixed, the minimum prof you will need is 78(6PD). With 6 athletics, you'd need 144 prof. PERFECTLY FINE FOR YOU!

Now just wait until they fix the damn thing so you aren't losing like 200 wpf cause of a bug.

Of course the arrows will probably shoot sideways.  I like Mount and Blade because it's about player skill.  By reducing accuracy for archers like this it really becomes more like some stupid MMORPG, where you click "shoot" or whatever and then a random number generator tells you if you hit.  I'll wait and see what they do but this sounds like a "remove archers from the game" type patch to me.

This is what they plan to do:

You bring nothing positive to any game server except making a nice easy target for cav and archers. Your opinion now matter how correct it may be is not valued. Good day.

You are so fucking wrong there. Unique chars are the most positive things there are in this game.

[Taser]

Between 95 and 130 wpf. Thing is that, even with 7 PS, MW KAS isn't deadly weapon.

MW Military Cleaver is a different weapon and truly deadly with 7 or 8 PS.

Hell yeah. I can attest to that.

Also this new patch makes me want to play more on my HA alt.

seriously, all u melee need to stop crying and deal with it.
if you want to be able to fight properly, dont give too many points to melee, its a FAIR DEAL, no more frikkin solo heros. u get attacked by a ranged player, u'll need to just fight back with ur side (ranged) weapon [or shield] and not bitch.

fixed for you

[Bobthehero]

Both the shield and the side ranged weapon need either wpf investement or some high upkeep, or you simply don't have slots to carry it all.

Its a stupid argument.

[Cup1d]

Thank you, atm my hybrid build is unplayable.

[Garem]

Both the shield and the side ranged weapon need either wpf investement or some high upkeep, or you simply don't have slots to carry it all.

Its a stupid argument.

Even the worst shields have no skill requirements, cost at most 29 gold to repair, and can take at least 2 (usually several more) arrows before breaking. No weapon in the game costs 4 slots, and the No-Sheathe weapons (all 5 of them or so?) are that way for a reason. Even the largest and most expensive 2H'ers are sheathable.

Crossbows don't require any WPF investment, only strength (at most 15, which is minimum STR for virtually all melee-focus builds).
