Range Spam in Eu1

[Strudog]

Over the past few weeks i have felt that there has been a good amount of range on the servers and that everything was running smoothly (except for HX) and that being shot by a ranged player was ok because it didn't happen all the time. But over the past week it has become increasingly worse with whole teams being stacked with range and the inability for your character to move a foot without being shot.

This is not thread about nerfing Archers or Xbows as i believe they are balanced (maybe archers being UP as i survive HS all the time). It just seems silly when 50% of the server is ranged and you cant move without being shot.

Has anyone else felt this way or is it just me?

Add Power Draw to xbow aswell, is it so hard to do that??

I really want to use a 11kg armour, but the range fest forces me to use plate.

Really annoying.

I dare to say, that HX compete lolstabbers in my old friendginess.

+1 to the OP, EU1 is not fun at all currenty

EU_1 has always been filled with lots of ranged players.
That's one of the reasons I prefer EU_4, where I don't get shot all the time.

If you wouldnt charge a group of ranged without shield headon at every round start but would wait some until ranged shot each other you might get shot less. Some pewpew on the servers and the QQing is starting again.

For fuck sake, it`s time to drop the "get a shield" argument, it`s utterly retarded.

And also, 90% of the time, the last survivors are ranged, so please spare us from your biased opinion.

Grumpy didn't say "get a shield". He said it's obvious that you die if you think you can charge the ranged enemy without any help of your own ranged! You as infantry cannot decide the round on your own if the enemy infantry and ranged plays together, ie. shooting you first and then charging.

That's more than obvious. A shield wouldn't win the round for you or protect you from more than 1 ranged anyway, it would help you however for a head on charge together with all the other infantry.

The thing is, how would you stop so many people from playing ranged. It's a hell of fun to shoot others and especially long-playing infantry and see them QQ all the time. Or would you want a max of ranged players, so people end up not being able to connect to the server cause you think there shouldnt be as many of them?
There were many ranged nerfs and people still play HX, HA and Archers. (crossbows, well, ofc many things changed for them as well since native times however they weren't as much affected as an Archer for example)

However I often see Panos as one of the later survivors so I doubt he ever charges in in the first seconds.

He hides somewhere because its the only way to stay alive for more then a minute (unless you have a shield ofc) when all the wannabee Robin Hoods and Wilhelm Tells come home from school and infest EU1. Many shieldless heroes do so, how else do you think they would stay alive till the end of round ?

There is too much crossbowmen (mounted and on foot),and their dmg is OP.
When archer hit me i usually don't give a shit cuz their dmg is like 1/4 or less of my health,but i loose half of health from a light xbow .
Also some xbows kill my plated pony with just one bolt.

I try to stay back and hide because of the range fest, plus, lately ive been playing with plate armour
