Like honestly. Im very happy more people are coming back to our favorite mod of all time. BUT FFS are you serious about this ranges. Played this night against a team that was set up by 80% ranges. GREAT JOB and no thats not enough. These are all ranges 1 shotting me with 7 iron flesh and a god damn lordly nordic warlord helmet. Great 1 month like this and this At fifteen, I had the will to  learn ; at thirty, I could stand ; at forty, I had no  doubts ; at fifty, I understood the heavenly Bidding ;  at sixty, my ears were opened ; at seventy, I could  do as my heart lusted without trespassing from the  square. again. Balance this out. PLEASE

Ok if you buff 1 h. I played it and im killing ppl after 6-7 hits. Only blunt weapons KINDA work.

It's funny how nerfs to ranged builds seems to have resulted in more ranged.

Maybe if they nerf it enough all will play ranged.

[Skyline_Rider]

the funny thing is "get a shield" is always the answer because they know they are not right. I mean even if i use a shield and i want to kill a dude with ... lets say 5 hits i need ATLEAST

[Skyline_Rider]

18 STR but wont be able to follow the archers then or if there are just 2 of them. You got no fucking chance. Thats the truth.

You don't have to play a shielder to bring a shield with you to the battle server. Even just putting 2 points from IF into shield will go a long way to preventing early round damage from ranged. Then just put it on your back when you are ready to melee. Unless you mean you are constantly getting shot while in melee, in which case there isn't shit you can do about that, nor will there ever be unless ranged is totally destroyed.

already tried it. u get nudges by 300000 str archers for 10 km. & u start again

[Skyline_Rider]

dude i tried so many things and most of the players quit warband cause of ranges. Just have a look at native i mean are we really discusting that this is not op af. ? Seriously?

[Sparvico]

Ranged is already incredibly neutered in crpg compared to native. It seems like you want to simply play a 2hand or polearm class without having to deal with that classes natural counter, which is ranged. This is not something that will ever happen in warband, you must adapt your play style to overcome the difficulties you face. I play no shield lance cavalry primarily and i certainly don't notice myself dying to ranged more than anything else. If I with such a large target as a horse can manage to play the game without ripping my hair out about ranged you clearly are not adapting well enough.

As for the nudging, why the fuck are you letting them nudge you dude? side step that shit.

Edit: this isn't to say that ranged doesn't need adjustment currently, and in fact our balance team is looking at archery right now, just that there are ways in which you can play your class just a little differently that will result in a much better experience for you in the interim.

sorry mr. admin but seriously. Iam in this game since 2010. I know how this game works. if you would have played the last 2 hours on the eu server you would have quit like 20 other ppl did.

[kasMVC]

People have tried to curb ranged in many different ways.

Remember when they made the arrows and bows weigh a lot more?
    But people just drop the bow and arrow and kite until you get bored of chasing

Then they nerfed the damage or something
   But archery is fun for some people and they will still play it

I propose some things (most of which are probably the wrong thing to do but whatever)

Maybe more 0 difficulty shields that dont look super ugly?
Maybe increase shield stats and decrease their weight?
Maybe reduce slots for shields?
Maybe more 1h pierce weapons to combat the plate meta?

As it is I don't see archery as needing to be nerfed. Now I get hit in the body and it takes maybe 2 bars. Head shots are still scary as they should be because that shit is hard to do. At least for me I suck at archery

All I know is I was playing 20 man NA and 7 of my teammates were some type of range. Someone smarter than me make some proper suggestions please. Looking at you item balancers.

If you say so.
