Longbow arrows parryable.

[Smkn-G1]

This bow costs 11 merc points. It does very poor damage, and takes a very long time to knock arrows... then those arrows can be parried by someone without a shield.

Thats so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumb. Archery is already crappy enough.

At least make longbow arrows unable to be parried because it's the 2nd most expensive weapon.

You sacrafice nearly everything to have this thing and some idiot without a shield can just block it.

Then you can have your bow dropped if you get touched by anything.

I wanna make people drop their weapons when I hit them with melee weapons.

[Look at my bats dick]

No.

[Ray]

i think you should be able to block one swing with the bow before dropping it, like having 0 stam.

This is a melee game. Bows, while they do play a support role, are inherently unfun to fight against. You’re not meant to be top fragging and killing the knight charging towards you with his sword, you’re meant to be picking off the retreating bloodlust guy, killing the engineer, taking out other archers, etc. Bows are in a decent place right now, and often times even see play in comp teams.

[Friendly]

It's really easy to get round the parry... just hold the bow a bit longer so they have to guess. Or don't shoot at people who are focused on you shooting at them. They deliberately made bows so they aren't overly irratable in this game (and good archers can still be REALLY annoying), but if you'd like to see a game were archers don't have these nerfs try warband... you'll soon be cursing them like there's no tomorrow.

I don't mind parries blocking arrows, but I definitely mind arrows getting blocked by swings that are no where near the arrow

Be a better archer. Position yourself to shoot at people who are already fighting. You should never be directly fighting someone with a sword, unless you also have a sword.

Well go be fair even if you couldn’t block the shot your not gonna one shot someone in full armor your suppose to be in the back away from those guys I’d recommend carrying a melee weapon like the cleaver

Longbow does decent damage it two shots T3 heads and 3 shots
T3 chests

So archery is pretty unbalanced at this point. You can have unlimited archers on a team! that is BS.

Archery needs balanced. in Chivalry they capped how many people could use bow.

This game needs to Nerf the dmg of arrows by 50-75 pct when wearing lvl 3 armor.

This is called MORDHAU : a style of holding a sword

not Recurve, How to shoot arrows

Bows are already weak against T3 armor requiring 3 shots to kill hitting someone 3 times with a bow in this game is very hard especially when you have teammates around

It should be hard, what's the incentive to risk yourself in melee if it's piss easy to just rack up kills from a distance? Most just kill other archers or shoot into melee to finish low hp people though.

Archers are BS. all they do is interupt my awesome melee fights.

i would pay 1000.00 US to have archers removed and held shield reinstated lol

You can get people to drop their weapons by hitting them when they are out of stamina.

I don't like the Longbow very much, but I've played with it on occasion. I like to take an Axe with it and kill people who rush the archer thinking the archer is an easy kill. I prefer Recurve to Longbow, as it's cheaper so I can actually take a solid melee kit with it.

The Recurve is far superior to the longbow right now. The only benefit to the longbow is range. It has a much longer range than the crossbow or the recurve, and at the rage you're supposed to be using it at, you shouldn't have to worry about melee or parrying.
