parabolic flight paths? NOT? oO

[Armbrust_Schtze]

me as crossbow archer suggest ti implement more parabolic ballistic flight paths for missiles. the result would be less archers who need really to be skilled to calculate the hit zone of their projectile like in the vikingr mod. as balance for this nerf i would suggest to make it that the shields really only protect the plain they cover. if you want a little taste of arching that way play some vikingr. here is the link

I am against shields only protecting if the arrow directly hits them, as in real life if you had a shield, you would move the thing to catch more arrows, not just keep protecting your chest if you saw an arrow dart towards your right shoulder...


Also... for an in game view (screw realism, right?), shielders should perform extremely well against range and fear litte (And yes I play an archer some days).

[Armbrust_Schtze]

well cant u mov your shield in that direction? when arrow comes from up take ur shield upside when an archer aimes your feet get it down..in vikingr it works very good. that idea would be much more realistic but still keep balance because the archers have to aim very good due to the high parabolic flight path and dont forget its crpg arching not everyone has a 156 wpf crosshair =D y/y?

[Tears of Destiny]

Archers already have to aim extremely well though to account for drops... And also for the record my first archer had 130 wpf and he did just fine after learning to account for the little things, 156 wpf is merely a perk for long range shooting or if you are a nut who likes archer duels. (150 wpf though I do recommended nontheless, and most archers do have that or higher).

My apologies but I do not like this suggestion.

have you tried vikingr mod? <3

have you tried vikingr mod? <3

I am afraid not, as the concept holds limited interest for me, and that I lack the time to play multiple mods.

[Armbrust_Schtze]

well in vikingr mod arching is most realistic i think...u really have to aim high to release a long shot, that gives more room for trained archers and also creates a good battle atmosphere (:

its worth a download to try..

[Spawny]

Go play vikingr mod.

I don't think you would actually be able to spot where an arrow is going to hit you and react accordingly.

[Armbrust_Schtze]

yes you can :p

try the vikingr mod. it gives a great example for that, and its really very hard with that ballistics to aim for an un shielded part of a moving body and to hit it. and it also would give no sheidlers more movement of space because the missilses dont fly that straight/directly anymore like in native..you really have to get aiming skill to  even hit a non moving target above 50m (:

do you have some videos from vikingr played from the archer point of view?

[Armbrust_Schtze]

sadfully i have no in game cam, but i postet a link to it..maybe you try it out the mod is really good and worth a dl (:

lol not that i make advertisement for vikingr xD but its arching system is great..
