Archery and fun

Hello guys,

I am here to express my opinion and make a demand:

I dont find archery funny now, and it makes me sad. I dont want to kill more people, or or being more powerful or top the score board, or being more fast... I just want it to be more funny.

Saddly I dont have any ideas now, but I am sure you can do something about it

Please dev team , listen my voice and think in making archery more enjoyfull and funny

thanks

Next patch note:
- added fun feature for archers. Each time you shoot an arrow, a message appears: "You got [1-5] fun points".

I could think of several ways to improve archery, but I guess the WB engine would not allow it, and using WSE it would require some serious amount of work.

For example to be able to draw the bow over the point of highest aiming, for more damage but less accuracy and firing speed.
Joker makes a very good point.

One solution would be to increase the game speed overall.
The game isn't fast. It's pretty damn slow.

However, with increased game speed, the individual skills will be affected much more by reaction time, obviously.
That is not only a good thing. Teamplaying will be harder and the usage of tactics overall would be less rewarding.

But personally I had lots of fun at the highest game speed on EU_1 last time I tried it, and that was as a lancer.

(click to show/hide)

Examples of really bad "nerfs" that most of all just made the game less fun (atleast for that class):
- Foot archery: Increased Arrow weight
- Lancers: The heavily decreased lance angle
- Throwers: The removal of jump throwing
- HA: Heavily decreased accuracy at higher riding speeds - This totally killed the class imo and with it Tuonela (the best of them all)

A less accurate and slower game with fewer abilities can only result in less fun. Lower damage is also something that makes it less fun.

The problem with incresing the game speed is that it will also increse many problems related to connection.

I seem to recall your foot archer alt kiting my 8ath char for over a minute (we were running at the same speed) with me being the last guy alive on my team and me being against you, hate_more, and one other guy. And yet you don't see why the weight nerf was so necesarry?
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

That's why I have a very high athletics alt-archer. To compensate for the otherwise boring slowness :)
But I do see why it was done.

That too.

Why not a bleeding for arrow damages.
I mean, counting the same damage, but your life goes down slowly. It is a bit like a nerf for archery because you have to wait to see the damage that you deal affect completely, but THAT is fun to think the other guy is watching his health bar decreasing slowly wothout knowing whe it is going to end XDD
