Thanks for reversing the archery ath nerf!

[Cup1d]

Call me paranoid but I think it's a bit odd they first introduced the weirdest and wrong way to deal with the problem, got everyone raging about the patch and then came up with a decent solution. Now kiting's nerfed and even the ranged are happy about it.
I'd even bet the 13PD thing was just some sick game they played on us.

I'm one of this nonstandart archers with 1slot bow and 2hander as secondary weapon. I do not run from melee. I can tell you more - I've got even quantity of melee and ranged kills. And I call this patch bullshit.

This thread is for appreciation of removing athletic nerf

Although I don't like the new nerf too, it doesn't brake the game that much.
At least we can think of this as a hotfix. Hope for better archer fix soon enough.

Arrows should be get heavier so they cant run like chickens

Just drop the bow and quivers before engaging in melee. Quite a bit more trouble than you were used too but it adds to the gameplay as you may want to retreive it at some point. Hell, it's realistic. This fix is awesome.

So, half a year of cry......lobbying to get your whi......suggestion implemented. Will write that one down.

dude im an archer too

Realistic arrow weight is 0.025-0.040 kg. 20 arrows will weigh 0.8 kg. Stop your realistic comments please. This fix is crap. Even this fix is not enough to add little more brains to army of our pussycats melee heroes

you should tnx god that devs can't stand all the crying and every nerf get reversed in 24h 90% of times because of ppl posting crap no stop.
They will say it was intended etc etc, but  we didn't even had a chance to see how the new archery worked; a smart move would have been to fix the pd accuracy stacking and balance out the ath malus...
now you are not even happy with the weight thing, so what is that you want? being able to kite and jumpshoot likea  boss hitting like a truck with 100% accuracy?

[Rhekimos]

Silly, but still a much better way to alter how the game is played than destroying builds.

[Uumdi]

Thanks guys, awesome change.  I have yet to play around with the new weights, but it gives more reason behind carrying 1 or 2 stacks into battle.  Even lighter, faster archers are going to need to place shots that count, rather than firing dozens of blanks, hoping they hit a cloud of people across the map.

[Belatu]

I think the real problem is that ANY of the people who are building this mod is an archer or have been an archer for a long time so they doesnt really know how to figure out what is going on

but anyway, you got my respect, as usual.


 

[Lemmy_Winks]

Im cav and i approve of this change. It used to be when kiling archers they would be so fast theyd jump to the side or could run around in zig zags making it difficult to kill them. They are now so slow its almost as easy as hitting a stationary target.

[Mwahahaha]

I`m moving like full plated knight, but this is better than yesterday )

[Juhanius]

Thank you this was right thing to do. Also this affects positively to arrow spamming...if you still want be somewhat agile you will propably use only one stack of arrows.

[Lactose_the_intolerant]

well archers can still decently run, remove jumpshooting and everything would be perfect. and archers shooting around shields...but meh...

[Froto_the_Loc]

All I've seen is "the nerf" or "the change"!
What the hell happened?!
