knowing mythic im guessing they will start aiming for penetration etc....



just makes me wonder if they EVER test ANYTHING, so far it seems like some monkey is rabbling out suggestions and some crack-junkie of a programmer goes "Nyuck Nyuck, excellent ideas chimpo, ill implement them right away"

 

[Danya]

Mythic, proving that with enough monkeys and typewriters, you CAN make a game!

 

[klavrynd]

look at me i'm uber and i post it on vnboards


BIG mistake

 

[mid_Efour]

i so hope that this makes it to Europe. ill be at every keep seige/attack everyday till its nerfed

 

[old.Hardbein]

Better ask GOA to restore my deleted lvl35 Hunter then....so I can play a FoTM (1.62) char

Back to malm guys !1

 

[Skaven]

From reading them posts it seems that the dmg reduction for releasing your arrow sooner than later doesn't seem to be working. Expect nerf soon no doubt.

 

[arrakeen]

ill admit its nasty, played my Scout abit last night camping mtk and damm, rapidfire is nasty casters are death before they react, and, even a zerk died before he reached me.

And the dmg is lower, but compared to the old fashion way its do alot more dmg over time

 

[Eleasias]

lol hes obviously talking BS:

Gustav, thats no where near whats happening... I'm releasing my shtos as soon as they allow me to (about 1 second intervals) and still hit TANKS for 200+ every shot.

Casters for about 350-500.

that just isnt true and everyone who plays an archer knows it xD. and he/she didnt bother posting logs either >.<

[Jiggs]

heh, i repsec my runemaster and headed to emain.

Found mtk camped by 4 scouts :sleeping:

its like ping ping ping dead as soon as you leave the tk, damage is quite high on what i presume were rapid fire shots, nothing hit me below 200...

 

[Cap'n Sissyfoo]

Ha ha!

Scouts will kick ass once again...for about a week by which time Mythic will pee their pants and swing the nerf bat hard.

 

[mid_Efour]

but uber goa will take 5 years to translate the fix patxh !

 

[old.Niljindil]

Bah, read the whole thread, on page 3 there is a guy proving the damage is just as it has always been.

Rapid fire does the exact same damage as normal shots, just twice the speed at half the damage

i think theres something wrong with that dmg-reduction, not that I have actual real info, but there are alot of archers screaming how this rocks and how they kill everything they see

 

[scarffs]

Real smart, they will get the nerfbat going fast...
Prolly casters who say they are achers or something...

Stupid yanks !

stfu till i can try it out and get a rr or two, pfff

 

[Jiggs]

yes by the time i /face and QC nearsight i was already eating dirt,

i did get my revenge when 2 hunters arrived on the next port

i was bait and we ganked em all

 

[SilverHood]

more shots = more crits too

 

[katt!]

more shots for less damage = smaller crits.

Lol.

 

[Tobold]

love the bit where they post a log of an archer soloing a keep door in afew minutes (hitting 75-->150 damage per shot)

please point out the log where an archer is hitting a caster (or anyone with armor) for 350-500 with

I'm releasing my shtos as soon as they allow me to (about 1 second intervals)

this speed?

 

[Aussie-]

didnt you know eleas, they increased archerdmg, 350-500dmg with rapid, 700-1000dmg for normal shot and 2000dmg for crit shot.

 

[parisienscot]

Apathy I'm still waiting for a witty comment from you in this thread!

I mean come on the thread title is just screaming for one

its too good, theres no need for a witty comment, it would be overkill

 

[Brunore]

from FiFty501 @ VN

someone at mythic had a legolas hard on

Made me laugh anyway.

 

[greenfingers]

Now we almost do as much dmg as we did once, back in 1.3x YEAH !

one of the only reasons why I made a scout, was because I could solo in Emain

I can't kill casters yet ... but I hope I can solo Tanks after 1.62!

 

[skile]

Dead zerker ^^

 

[scarffs]

Yay, Mythic fixed this one fast...
Must be some kind of record, of course they do it to the archers again. Wonder why some overpoweredness they leave in the game for 18 months only to state it was never intended.
