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

[WITCHCRAFT]

I have a lot fun doing "archer duels" with an enemy across the map. Its kind of like rock paper scissors. Move left, stay still, or move right. Fire at enemy left/mid/right.

[Tomas_Miles_again]

I only make ranged characters to kill other ranged people.

Sounds like the mod will die for about 1 week.

hehe, you overestimate my influence and underestimate the need to pew at other ranged... ;-) I even doubt I will keep my own self-declared truce, esp. on xbows and throwers... ;-)

[Teeth]

Can all the NA shits for the love of god stop deriding the current ranged discussion as mere qq when EU_1 barely even surpasses 40 players anymore?

[Jeade]

90% of my kills on Strategus are ranged guys.

Jeade has noticed this, you dirty crossbow scum.

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.

I am reading this forum for about 2 years now. I have seen countless rage threads about ranged, no matter what actual pontential ranged had at the given moment.

I can assure you, no matter how you try to reason with certain people, whether you are doing it nicely or in an objective manner, some people will simply not accept that there is no nerf needed as an answer. It does not matter what arguments you come up with, they will turn them around just to fit their cause of nerfing ranged or just create some pseudo arguments if real ones are lacking.

Over the years the same 10-15 people you see constantly lobbying for nerfing ranged over and over and over again simply degenerated into some mindless retards who probably no longer realize that lobbying to get a class nerfed in a video game is not the most important thing in life. Dont waste any effort to reason with those people as I did.

No matter how many nerfs there will be, some people will continue to lobby for more nerfs, insult you and grief you just because you bring so much horrible suffering upon their lives by playing ranged, while still thinking they are doing it for a "good cause" or whatever happens in their brains. Sad but true.

Maybe personalities like those are the reason players leave the game, contrary to the highly empiric diagnosis "it's ranged".

Regular players stop playing the game when they get no fun out it. It's that simple. 

Forums are just an extension of the game. People would still play this game without forums, but forums would probably die without the game. Which tells us what? That you're the only one who give a damn about whole "personality" stuff.

Why addicts stop playing is completely different matter. It's certainly not because they are bored or had enough of the game. Has something to do with the state of their life after spending countless of hours in game. That's why rage quits, deletion of characters, drama and stuff like that. Been through it, I know how it goes.

Who sais anything about forum only ? There are quite some retards who are bringing this nerdrage shit ingame. For example those people who think it is "cool" to grief ranged players, lie about it and then complain when they get banned by the evil ranged players.

Just to give you a fitting example:

Panos always hated my agi build because he thinks I choose it to annoy melee players. But the only reason why I play AGI is to catch archers and annihilate them, nothing more really. Melee players just get in the way, me going for archers to kill them basterds

from now on, everytime I see you on the battlefield, and we are enemies, I will step aside.

I used to do that a lot back in the days. whenever I see enemy fighter going for friendly archers Reason why I stopped doing that is because I fear someone might interpret that as being passive in combat and ban me for it...

That's one of two things me and kinngrimm have in common. One is love for ze grind and second is hatred for ranged. We both built our chars to effectively dispose of archer scum.

What does that tell us Leshma ? Basicly, it tells us that over time, some people became so mortally offended by ranged that they are in no way qualified to adress this topic in an objective manner, yet they do it all day every day and wonder why so many people dont take them seriously anymore.

[Tomas_Miles_again]

I think Leshma did have a key point in that perhaps a lot of players are being put off of the mod/game because of the state of ranged weapons (if you consider those who have come to the game for the melee mechanics).

[karasu]

The reason I went back to xbow, is that I can actually be effective vs any kind of ranged. Was getting tired of having to trust in my ranged team mates to deal with the opposing team ranged menace, yet they kept failing.

Want a job done right, do it yourself.

@XyNox

To be honest, I dislike archers. I've based my whole style around archer elimination. That is because I strongly believe that everyone who comes here to shoot is doing it wrong. That is my choice and my way.

But it has nothing to do with some dude's personality. It's strictly game related. If you play an archer, don't expect me to be very fond of you as a player. But that doesn't mean I dislike you as a person. Still, every time you're on enemy team you can expect me to hunt you.

You're probably the only one I still dislike personally. And it has nothing to do with you being an archer. It has something to do with you being a twat. First, you've decided to ban me for bullshit reasons (and skip telling the truth in the process) just because you're butthurt over the fact I created so many archery nerfs threads which gravely  insulted your "personality". Another reason is that you pulled off the same bullshit card kinngrimm did, asking for full restoration of your char.

And because of that, if devs decide to nerf archery, I'll celebrate in my own way that just to piss you off.

Just remove arrow stun so chasing em is much easier and i'll be happier. love me.
