X-bow has ruined whole mod

[Horst_Kurmoottaja]

It is so freaking moronic how much just this one weapontype can kill whole game and mod. Remove these bundle of ass items from game thanks!

[Jack1]

Do you want the game to be like your avatar?

[Horst_Kurmoottaja]

Good point though Jack. Whole situation with ranged is totally out of hand. In my opinion now that i am not so angry its really tricky to get any sense of this situation. Maybe amount of projectiles should be less and then again any great weapons /armor should be lot more expensive to maintain. I mean lot more!

[Juhanius]

Finaly some people are adressing this issue!...Why keep archery in the game if more viable solution is playing xbow. It is more efficient and more rewarding!?

i bet that's exactly what medieval knights said when xbow was introduced

[Brrrak]

Egads, hath they none honour!?  'Tis but a middling effort to sit there, with only thine pike and thine bolt facing the enemy, with no danger to thine own self.  Whom do you serve, knaves!?  Surely, no one worth serving, as thou dost not give thine heart, fully and truly, to thine lord and master; rather, thou dost sitteth back, lazily in the summer sun, and simply set thy camp at one point of the battle's field.

Truly, it doth sicken me: I am ashamed of this warfare, and will tarry with it no longer. 

Thou mayest have mine family's greatest artefacts of war.

I dont normally contribute to QQ threads but ranged, especially HA/HX and the hordes of foot ranged are messing up the fun element of this mod. At least remove the knockback/stun so the buggers can be chased down.

Decrease ranged damage across the board (currently higher than most melee), especially head shots which can easily take down a 50-ish head armor player in one shot across great distance. Dying to a random shot from across the map without before even entering the battle and having to wait is pretty poor game design.

And give xbows some higher use requirements.

Another one of these threads? I'm not gonna bother.

...that's historically absolutely & accurately correct. one of the most fear (beside body hyperthermia) from a knight was an' incoming bolt from a "cheap peasant's" hand trough his "expensive majesty" plate. same goes for the first introduced firearms.

..as for the thread : lick my helmet & go play another game/mod.

PD requirement I'd say.
Like in countless threads before...

My 10/30 Dagger/X-Bow is fun, though :/

[Prpavi]

let us not start with realistic historical "facts". this mod has nothing to do (except the looks) with fights in the middle ages.

about xbows, they need either a skill like PD or higher str requirement for high tier xbows.

[the real god emperor]

PD for Xbows would be a complete bs. I mean, what do you draw ffs?
But a bigger STR req for them , and less speed would solve the problem, imo...

Why is everybody asking that> Ranged damage is fine. It should probably do less against plate and more against light armor, but it is more or less fine. What needs a buff is melee damage.

especially head shots which can easily take down a 50-ish head armor player in one shot across great distance. Dying to a random shot from across the map without before even entering the battle and having to wait is pretty poor game design.

And give xbows some higher use requirements.

I'd rather slow down projectiles so that that random headshot is easier to avoid. Buff skill, nerf spreadsheets.
