Uninstall time?

Kunio gonna one hit evrythang now, oh the horror.

[Gmnotutoo]

My build is ruined by this patch and leveling up an archer is the worst experience in this game.

[Osiris]

if leveling an archer is so horrible why play it?

Everyone always whines as a knee-jerk reaction to nerfs. People will retire, adapt, and then adjust just like they've always had. 2-direction pole users cried so hard about the turn nerf at first but now that people have adjusted they're just as viable as before minus a few of the ridiculous things they were able to pull off. Sure it affects post-lvl31 users hard but that's just a handful of people in the grand scheme of things and they already added the extra rewards, training lessons, etc and if you don't care about looms or don't have money for lessons then just take the respec or remain a ranged-kiter and QQ.

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

I'll quote this when the time comes

I didn't level up as an archer, I leveled up a 18/24 2hand melee to 14-17 million experience and then respeced into an archer just to avoid it.

i don't feel bad for archers at all. if i spent hours and hours levelling a build based solely around exploiting a broken game mechanic, i would not be upset when things changed and it didn't work anymore, and i certainly wouldn't ask for a free respec. i mean - the #1 whine on the forums for the past month+ has been kiting archers, did you think it was going to go untouched? (well, that's not THAT unreasonable)

I never kite, I have 6 athletics and that is just enough to get out of the way of cav. I move at the same speed as a balanced melee build.

[Havoco]

Ooh the builds I plan on making with this patch...... 

[a_bear_irl]

pretty much any melee will have at least 3x the weight you do on them

Longbow, 2 bodkins, hatchet, black lamellar vest, rus shoes, ninja mask, leather gloves.

when I get engaged in melee, I take out my shitty hatchet to die with honor.

[Arrowblood]

Am i allowed to respec to 14 pd? cos i like closed crosshairs.

You know, that's not a half bad idea!  It's pretty damn annoying that the devs can't figure out what the fuck they want to do with the archer class.  Nerf after nerf after nerf screwing up people's builds with most patches.  No class has had to go through what archers have endured. 

[Lactose_the_intolerant]

meh, a weird way to fix the issue, but it doesnt surprise me, it happens often in other games aswell.

I just feel the problem was just move from point a to point b :

-Infantry will get srewed over because of the damage of arrows, losing 75% to an arrow feels shit.

-archers get screwed with their now flawed build


archery was close to balanced, it just needed a slight kiting fix
