Bodkins now weigh 10 pounds.

[Kamirane]

 

I wear 34 MW bodkinarrows (mostly wood and few gramms metal) + my MW Hornbow. And a shielder can now laugh and take a 0 Slot Weap + 2 Steelshields (massive Iron)? I would like to see one guy infront of me who can still handle to fight with this masses of metal on his back and shieldarm ..... and I better dont think about what happens, when he also wears a full plate and stuff like this.

.... just my opinion....

Standarizing the weight of all arrows was a good call- I feel like that should really be said, as before the obvious choice was Bodkins which were better for damage in most cases and lighter to boot; but the weight assigned to all arrows is still too high.

Now all you archers will have to think and asses the situation, I knowthis will be hard but keep faith!, when you are in battle, no more last minutes escapes, oh god, dis will be gud.

My longbowman alt is crying tears of joy for the new 0 slot weapons. Getting PS instead of athl this generation

[poikakoira]

Just do a bagge and when you run drop your bow?

Do a lap.

Pick it back up.

That´s what all decent archers have done for ages.

Works every time.

To the archer build I used to roll, latest patch would be a buff.

Last time i checked the definition of archery it never said anything about close combat with any side arm. Lets try another interesting logic. A Person is a truck driver and has a driving license to drive it. He also only wishes to drive a truck and nothing else. Now that driving license allows him to fly a plane or sail a boat. WTF DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH DRIVING A BLOODY TRUCK???

So stop saying this is a bloody archer buff. Its a buff HYBRIDS not for archers. This patch is yet another nerf to archery.

An if units of weight in this game is kg (kilograms), and it seems they are according to other items, how can 17 arrows weigh bloody 10kg? A single arrows doesnt weight more than 75 grams (and that is too much) so one quiver is ~1.3kg of arrows and add maybe 0.5kg for the quiver and belt and feathers and other things that go with it. So Lets round it up to 4kg for 2 quivers (and that is way too much...). Nope.. lets make it 20.

So let me get this straight:

You want to be pure archer because you want to run away from melee while they can't catch you but you can deal damage at safe distance?

Fuck no. "Archery" for me (and in history) has always been combination of reduced melee capabilities and added ranged possibility.

Let me get this straight:

I want to be pure archer and to have infantry close to me for protection. I have 3 ath at lvl 30 with my build and i do not intend to increase it. I thought of going 0 ath this gen (same build just 3 if instead of ath), but no i cannot do that now cus ill be slower than internet explorer. So basically i want to play this game as maybe it should be played - to relay on the team im playing for.

Im sorry to write a post after the post but if i edit previous maybe it will be bad for the conversation.

Fuck no. "Archery" for me (and in history) has always been combination of reduced melee capabilities and added ranged possibility.

If u go with that logic then why do i see pure two handers, pure pole arms, pure one handers (with shield ofc). How can a guy who know so much about one style suck that much at others? I dont know ur history sources (i dont know if ur statement is correct or wrong about archer combat capabilities) but for this purpose i will assume that its correct. Did ppl "at that time" only train to use one single melee weapon style and totally suck at others?

I'm Pretty sure it's kilos

They can delete the crossbow now.

Legolas fought in melee in LoTR, so crpg archers should  do that too.
