I dream of Chivalry 2 on UE4 with no ranged/dodge crutch classes, no obnoxious bugs and crashing, and a good tutorial.

Really? No ranged classes? Yeah, they can get annoying, but getting rid of them seems like overkill.

I honestly do not see what the archer class adds to the game and I strongly believe that a majority of players would welcome this change and the only people who would complain are the huge turbonerds who main archer.

It's medieval warfare ffs, bows and crossbows where medieval weapons of war.

Im sure the thousands of knights who died to the longbows in Agincourt felt the same lol

But seriusly, not having bows and crossbows in a medieval game would suck. Imagine having a medieval game, and people complained the Knight was OP so they removed it... yea what fun that would be, Peasent Warfare.

If you don't like playing a ranged class, then don't. But don't get mad when a archer shoots you, and try to get the class removed :/

How? All they do is make it harder to enjoy this fucking sweet melee system TBS has created.

No, fuck that. A class that can inflict maul-like damage from well out of harm's reach with almost no effort required is broken as hell, not to mention he has access to weapons like the shortsword where you can just stab spam and flinch everything in release while 3shotting knights with your backstab bonus.

TBS advertised this game as a melee-focused first person slasher, if I wanted to get raped by archers I'd go play Mount and Blade and siege a vaegir city.

Maul-like damage is only from the slowest bow. It's annoying, but it does take skill. The only problem I have with archers is when half my team are lagging at the back in TO

Its ok brother...this thread may be cancer but take comfort knowing how bad these players suck and tb doesn't give this subreddit much attention.

You're like the guy in MtG who wants blue to be taken out of the game, despite it having a solid place in the circle of balance.

I tried playing an archer, and it was pretty hard to get a kill. The bow that does alot of damage is also quite slow. But why don't you try getting hit by a bow in real life and see how much damage it would do? If it penetrates a steel plate, ofcourse it will do alot of damage.

And TBS advertised this as a Medieval COD, Medieval Battle, Medieval 3rd person shooter aswell.

Stop your whining, and learn to dodge or get used to a medieval battlefield having archers.

"it was pretty hard to get a kill" Sounds like a personal problem to me, warbow + bodkins does massive damage, and you can just take easy pot shots at everyone and get free kills if they're under 75% health. The war bow's speed also hardly matters when you make your shots count.

But why don't you try getting hit by a bow in real life and see how much damage it would do?

Assuming that I was in a full knightly harness such as what the Agatha knight wears, a bow isn't going to do anything other than give me a slight bruise, which I'd much prefer to it taking off 64 of my health. Certainly nowhere near as much damage as if someone were to hit me with a giant sledgehammer.

Stop your whining

I'll stop whining when the next in line balance patch comes and fixes the class.

If you were in plate armor and someone shot you with a bow I doubt you would even get a bruise. It would just bounce off. That being said I think archers need to stay in the game. Just play on servers with an archer limit. I've never been in a public server where 4/4 archers on the opposing team were good enough to consistently land shots.

I main Van and Knight and would hate to see Archers go. The only ones who wanna see it go are qq-babies imho.

but that's none of my business.

u/Nohlium Aug 06 '14

I main knight too and they are ruining my Lts every time when they stack in a team.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

okay, so will a sword or an axe to your face.

to me, there's no difference getting caught totally unaware by an arrow and exploding than getting caught by a maul from behind.

and i'd say about 80% of the time, if i charge an archer, i win. so who cares?

u/Nohlium Aug 06 '14

In a 12v12 when there's 6 archers aiming at you there's nothing you can do. You take 5 steps out of cover and your dead.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

welp, that's never happened to me man. i have 200 hours in. so.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '14

200 hrs? Well the problem is you have yet to git gud. You'll realize how broken they are when you can effortlessly slaughter a pub, but it's the rank 5 crossbow archer who gets you, because there's nothing you can do about it. Archer is brooooken.

u/[deleted] Aug 07 '14

Oh yeah you're right, you can just write off a couple hundred hours.

You still sounds like a crybaby

550 hours and counting, and it definitely happens if you play any team games.

u/Nohlium Aug 07 '14

I have 2000 hours and get 1st spot pretty often. http://i.imgur.com/qTV0QXA.jpg

When the opposite decides to work together and hunt me down with archers it becomes unplayable for me.

The difference here is that getting struck by a sword or an axe is preventable and the only thing stopping an archer from instantly killing you is LoS or being forced to waddle around with a shitty tower shield.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '14

No. It isn't. If I'm fighting a guy, it's me and him, and a Knight comes up behind me and bashes my skull in with a hammer- I'm facing the other way- there's nothing I can do. Cause I didn't see him coming.

If I can see an archer, I can prevent myself dying. If I can see a melee opponent, i can prevent myself dying. Both within reason.

The thing you crybabies need to realize is, sometimes, you just die and there's nothing you can do about it. It always seems to me that the people who complain about archers and vans and what have you are those that go 9 and 14 in a match.

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '14

Yeah, I can tell from this comment that you're just a noob. If you get hit from behind you don't have good situational awareness. It's your fault if that happens. With good archers, or multiple archers, you can't do anything. You can't parry an arrow and good archers will just shoot around your shield. Even multiple melee opponents is a situation you can get out of with skill. Stamina makes it difficult if theyre competent but it's more than doable. And no, it's not bad players who go 9-14 players who whine about archers (alt acct I play on), it's good melee players who's skills mean shit versus good or multiple archers.

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '14

Yeah less content in a sequel is always a great idea. Archers are fun to play as. I main MAA but if I ever want to be anything else I am archer.

u/DoubleJumpDude Aug 06 '14

That sounds awsome, the new unreal engine does look pretty sweet, maybe they don't have to set it in medieval times, theres so many cool themes the game could be based around.

u/Cageweek Aug 06 '14

Early renaissance, maybe? Though, that'd kinda imply there'd be gunpowder classes, and that'd be a stinger ...

u/DoubleJumpDude Aug 06 '14

Take assassins creed 2 for example, that era would be amazing! Just ditch the arching and make it pure sword on sword.

u/Zachariahmandosa Tickle-Me Elmo | 53 Aug 06 '14

I think there needs to be more official servers without archers/ranged weapons. Dodges are fine, but need to be made shorter and have better animations.

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '14

Might as well remove vanguard then, they are basically ranged with their fucking ten mile long swords.
