All archers, xbows and other ranged: TRUCE, Parley, whatever - 1 WEEK

yeah, just turn the servers even more in unplayable shit holes, then you all can shoot each other in medieval counterstrike soon, gg.

go die in a fire

... NA

I was an archer, they don't shoot each other. Reason: it's risky, another archer can kill you and end the fun sooner then expected.

As an archer on my main, I shoot other archers and horses the most. Also strength crutching armor bads like Horns. Then I work on the rest of the team if I'm still alive. Hirlok and I have had many a fine archer duel.

LOL Bronto, indeed! ...and I think many of them happened at a time where longbow had pierce and those pussies really would have had something to bitch about ;-)

Hirlok, you're stand-up archer. Never before seen player enjoying shooting with 300 ping and pulling out melee weapon every time infantry comes close. You know theres no chance to win in melee yet you do it. I respect that.

But EU archers are different. They are min-maxing, opportunist, delaying scum.

DEMON!

I'd also like to add that I know Hirlok is a good guy for having previous civil interactions with him a long time ago. But that doesn't give him a free pass on being a total dick showing a complete lack of understanding like right now.

It is all kind of role playing anyways ;-)
Still: not entirely true. My suggestions (earnest ones) are in this post:

http://forum.melee.org/game-balance-discussion/how-to-nerf-archery-without-destroying-it/msg913761/#msg913761

I am just sick of one class taking the heat for all ranged sins, and that the general answer to a problem (yes, there is one, I know) is a general nerf of archers - hitting the REAL archers (who never were a problem) worst and not the class-hopping my old friends that move on to the next op thing.

Find creative solutions like limiting ranged classes on servers etc. instead of nerfing an already over-nerfed class (real archery with 2slot bows and more than 6pd are hardly viable and have been so for months...).
