All melee players should show understanding to each other.

Just GTX EU_1, it is pretty hard to count but I think I got to 23/54 being ranged. I think about 5 horse archers, 12 archers, 4 crossbowmen and 2 throwers.

Good luck fighting that, we can all pretend like the teamwork argument is going to work this time, but until something is done about the amount of ranged and especially archers, I'll be on EU_2 or not playing at all.

Nothing to say here

When you play ranged you dont feel the difference, when i played xbow i felt that there wasnt too many ranged, because i shot them all, but when i play shielder, it seems like the only thing that is hitting your shield is arrows.

You know when archers have too many arrows that they will waste 3-5 arrows on your shield

Archers rarely "waste" arrows on shields. The better ones know what shields have been made virtually unbreakable anyways (NERFFFFF!!!! WHINE!!!!!!), and in all other cases it is a) good sports to try and hit an unaware shielder that is too stupid to hold the shield right or to shoot uncovered areas (from shield skill 7 up they usually have that arrow-soaking "aura" around them - NERFFFF!!!!! WHINE!!!! - where you can do nothing about as ranged, but worth a try...) and b) it is part of our job to weaken shields so they break or break on first contact with melee. I have smashed many shields in my str archer days and helped my teammates quite a bit with that (ok, sometimes shooting the teammate in the process, LOL)

 BTW yesterday ran around with my almost naked str pole gal - and she got shot at quite a bit, hit a few times, and even died to arrows/bolts twice. Died to melee about 10 times in the same time... 

But: whatever.

The current wave of anti-archerism is just another incarnation of the the bi-monthly "remove archery from mod plox" propaganda, so my fault to feed any fish to the trolls anyways So - let the hate out, folks,  it makes you stronnnnnng. I am out of this discussion. What had to be said, was said - and devs will do what devs will do, LOL. It won't be many months anyways until we all have to adopt to some new (BROKEN!!!! NERFFFFF!!!!!) game mechanics anyways (Bannerlord and/or M:BG)

So:

Kudos and much love to my melee friends and hate-friends on NA - many decent, non-whiney guys among them, have taken many of my arrows to the face or the butt like men with honor and murdered me countless times in exchange ;-)
Good guys -  almost could be archers.

Its not just the regular op this, nerf that sadly. Since the free respec patch (WHY????) Ppl are fleeing. Several ppl quit the mod and even more refuse to play battle mode.

Do I smell a melee versus ranged event?

All for it

Many incl. me are a bit pissed with the new WP/WPF system and all the resulting agi whoring across all classes...

[Panos_]

All for it 

what event??

95% of the ranged player base, can`t block more than two hits in a row..

I thought they were insanely OP and no shielder would ever reach them alive through the rain of their oh-so-deadly projectiles??? 
No need for blocking then.

We can reach them, but they simply run away. And as we have to wear tons of armour to survive we are like turtles hunting down ...(some shit fast animal here).

thanks for clearing that up. some propaganda specialist wanted to tell us that 3 archers vs 3 shielders would win... LOL
Running: myth. Only if it is a troll archer with shortbow/1 quiver/tunic/knife - or if he drops his bow.
My bow + 2 quivers weight more than your armor combined, and opposite to you no decent archer has points to waste on ath (unless he is lvl 43 like Steevee)...

but I forgot I wanted to waste time on other things than this discussion - Hirlok over and out, let me know guys in case there is some funny 30 archers&xbows vs 30 melee guys event ;-)

[Umbra]

2 archers won vs 2 shielders a couple of hours ago on EU 1

If you see an enemy melee player hunting a ranged player of your team, leave him be. How many times you tried to slash a ranged my old friendhomosexual player, but a fellow melee enemy killed you?? It sucked right?? It made you wish that the enemy melee player couldve let you kill the ranged my old friendhomosexual player and then kill you.

Well guess what, from now on, everytime I see a fellow melee player hunting or duelling a ranged my old friendhomosexual player, I won`t do jack shit.

Ranged, you are the reason that servers are half dead peak time.

I beg all the melee players to do the same thing with me.

if its a clan-mate, i will have to step in, but otherwise i can go by this one rule.

[Panos_]

^ I dunno why, but my weapon got bugged when you were dueling those 2 ranged my old friends homosexuals

Care to explain how the shielders are supposed to do it ?

are you retarded ? You are playing the wrong game man... Archers are over every class right now, and a shield is just a fun target for an archer
