Archers buffed too much

[Havoco]

True, however I think it would be pretty boring without ranged weapons. Ranged adds a whole new dynamic to the game. In fact what I liked most about the game when it came out was horse archery. I was so surprised when I found that out I had to try it. Then I found out I sucked at it and went foot archer.
In fact I love going to the middle in between the lines and watch all the ranged shit fly by. It looks epic. You can't really get that in most fps unless you play In slow motion.

[SalmonGod]

I definitely don't want ranged combat removed from the game.  The chaotic environment it creates is indeed epic.

As Bruce said, if you want to play shooter, there are plenty of good games around, no need to turn this game in a ranged mod.

This is one of the more retarded comments I've seen in a while.


If you want to ride a pony, play my little pony online, you want to swing a sword, play rune, you want to do xxx play yyy....

Based on that logic, there are other games you can play if you've imagined that Mount & Blade cRPG isn't the the melee paradise that you've invented it to be, based on your entirely make believe bullcrap.

e: This thread was better before this stupid "I like swords, so M&B is a sword game, plus swords are implied in the title, and thusly you should use swords too" idiocy came in.

Except there isn't. Like...none.

Since the point is: "what you've said makes no sense since it is based on something you've dreamed up", the amount of games that fit his wet dream of M&B doesn't really matter.

I feel embarrassed for you for having to explain it

Strangely and funnily what some peoples (looking so) doesn't understand what if wipe out (totally) all ranged classes (like archers, crossbowmans, throwers (I hate you - throwers ^) ))...
then - yes. It will be PURE "Mount and blade", but no one will play this game. It will be not interesting (only few days and end).

If you take out all the ranged classes, then who will kill the horsies?!

Alright, first whine thread ever from me, but I think with the arrow damage input archers are too powerful. 8 damage with bodkin arrows, wtf? I think this is how it should be IMO:

(click to show/hide)

Arrows   134   
weight 3
weapon length 95
thrust damage 1,cut
max ammo 28
      
Barbed Arrows   723   
weight 3
weapon length 95
thrust damage 3,cut
max ammo 24
      
Khergit Arrows   1605   
weight 3
weapon length 95
thrust damage 1,pierce
max ammo 22
      
Bodkin Arrows   3074   
weight 3
weapon length 91
thrust damage 2,pierce
max ammo 18

This way archers could use different arrows for different targets. Peasants, grab khergit arrows! Tin can, bodkin arrows!

EDIT: Just head that arrows don't change damage type.

I want to take what you've taken your order to reach that conclusion

[Deathwind]

I'd like to state that arrows only modify bow damage.

[Elmetiacos]

And by slightly too much. Only slightly. Archers probably were too weak before, but the proverbial pendulum has swung a bit too far back now.

Lol... archers will hopefully adapt or quit. But melee fighters... I let you guess. Ask melee players around if they would like a "melee only" server to open.

Buff iron flesh to tone it down

I have played on server where there are or were the no ranged mondays, and it was boring + 2h spamzor in a huge clash of bodies.

 Actualy as a dedicated xbower I feel quite hurted, when I wear my plate and get a bolt and then an arrow, both take about the same dmg from me, so around 1/3 hp, the weaker bowmans take about 1/4 of my hp, but still they can send 3-4 arrows when I can send 1 bolt. And then throwers come, which fight in the first line and are very succesfull at stoping xbowers from reload. Anyways, I think bow dmg went a bit to high and xbows a bit to low, but its not like I cant play, still even when xbows are the worst ranged I can sometimes get to the first 3 so it is not that bad I gues.
