Nah, don't like playing ranged on native anymore, and almost never do. I'm used to the snailish crossbows and the (also) snailish archer animation. Usually play cav, jav cav or two-handed with either hammer or two handed swords, but then again, I mostly play native for clan battles anyway. Not a lot of random playing on public servers going on to be honest.
Maybe I haven't played enough Vikingr to make a final opinion, but I didn't get a more positive gaming experience from playing it, compared to native clan wars or playing any of the other mods I mentioned.
