A few things that have been touched on already coming from a comp archer player from Aus.
1) Headshot dmg is terrible, only the fians on the lowest armor enemies can get a 1 shot kill with bows making xbows much more meta if you aim for the head more than the body. I have my suspicions that armor values just apply to every part of the body because of how a peasant can take a headshot and not die from most bows.
2) The reticle position is completely different if you change between 1st/3rd person which is a first as warband & wfas both melded together pretty well, this has caused me issues ingame from the get go as i feel you have to aim at someones waist (or it goes straight over them) just to hit them in 3rd person, basically making me always shoot in 1st person. I think throwing is similiar if i recall correctly.
3) There are bugs where if you get hit or something you can't aim again, usually swapping weapons back and forth does fix it eventually. Warband had similiar glitches with xbows.
4) Arrow speeds are slower than warband which just changes the general gameplay a little but nothing too savage. Perhaps faster arrows could be faster as I haven't noticed much difference? Also dmg arrows could use a buff perhaps if they aren't gonna scale head armor to make it possible to 1 hit hs peasants then that would be an alternative.
To everyone saying archers are OP take another lap and look again as much as shields are more like cRPG in this with shooting toes or heads based on position you don't have to worry about being 1 hit by a war bow.
