Uninstall time?

IMO this is a buff for archers. Kiting was never a problem for me givin im cav i just run em down anyways, but now that they do more damage they are more dangerous. It will also be significant in seige or strat where archers can be stationary, losing kiting doesnt matter and they getting more damage from this buff. Even when i was a two hander i had 7 athletics and a sword of war, archers thought they could run but id always catch em, easy kills.

how about a free (1 time) respec givaway for all without xp penalties ?

How about all you respec whiners read what was written in the bug thread...IT'S A BUG!

Jeez less complaining more reading.

Or, how about removing leveling and looms and giving everyone a level 30 build that they are allowed to respec at whatever time they want.

Screw looms, screw levels, screw grinding. Just keep the persistent character.

Well if everyone wasn't so busy saying how bad the change was in the thread and instead read it before posting, we'd be 10 times less rage than we are now.

Just play another class until they fix the bug.

Am i the only one that have read that it is a bug??   or am I wrong?



also

Quite so, ol' mate. I switch between 3g internet and normal broadband, and with 3g internet anything other than archery is complete shit.

No cause they need to learn manual block ...

I have to agree with OP, devs have strange ideas. Since we (community) already suggested everything that makes sense, they have to come up with weird solutions. If they can't take the full credit for the idea, they won't work on it.

We have to gather money and send them to Tibet, buddhist monks can teach them how to suppress their obviously over inflated egos.

[Juhanius]

I like game keeps improving but I dont like that some builds are unplayable because of the new patch! I demand free respec for all characters over 30.  Until then bye bye.

[Vodner]

While I appreciate that the devs have recognized kiting as a problem, I don't feel that this was the best way to go about fixing it.

If they can't take the full credit for the idea, they won't work on it.

It's more likely a matter of this change being really easy to implement compared to other suggestions.

[Vibe]

Not the best solution to kiting bundle of sticksry if you ask me. How about:

- when bow is drawn ath is divided by 3
or
- archery WPF reduces run speed (the other way round)

Imho better solutions that don't toy with archer accuracy and shouldn't force archers to respec.

I disagree. There were many suggestions where they have to change just few values. Instead of that, they had to write entirely new code to create a link between athletics and wpf. They changed original mechanics of this game and that can cause problems in the future...

2012-10-31 In before the "OMG ARCHERS DO TOO MUCH DAMAGE" whine.

I'll quote this when the time comes

I honestly think this last patch was a buff to archery, but we can't see the effects yet.


Clearly not being able to stack as much ATH means agi archers won't be able to kite that much (but still kite : high agi + low armor is enough to outrun most melee chars). This will reduce their survivability against pure melee and thus make them lose those end-of-round situations more often. However, the increased damage enables archers to have a greater impact on the battle from the beginning, not just at the end.
