Dunno, I wasnt there for all the big nerfs on missile speed and damage etc. and I dont care so much about that...also the 2 slot system for high dmg bows is okay in my opinion. There are only 2 points I really think need to change:
1. the weight of the arrows is way too much.
I get that kiting pissed of alot of people and was removed and I am fine wit that, but if a tincan runs asfast as me something is wrong. For everyone who disagrees I suggest u buy some arrows, equip two stacks and play some rounds with that. Just give it a try:D
2. the upkeep.
Archers were made slow as fuck, so they cant avoid melee anymore. So the idea to give em some more or less decent weps like Langes Messer, short broad sword etc was pretty cool. The only thing is that I cant pay the upkeep for that. Neither with a hornbow + langes messer nor with a Rusbow + scottish or broad short sword. I have to play one day running around with only a sword and my 2 ps 0wpf in order of being able to play a day with the class I chose. That sux balls. I dont know if other classes have that same problem, but I would love to know.
