Big nerf of archers

[Arso]

Every patch I notice that archer’s damage reduces, pulling time increases and divergence of the sight increases too.
After 1.5.4 patch some guys stopped choosing archers because of this. After 1.5.5 it got more worse.
What is the problem? Why are you cutting them? Some guys goes to Warband because of this. You are just killing this class.
I don’t have any words about horse archers, no one plays for them, any of the tournaments, battles.

If you can aim they are still very very good. My only complaint with bows is that the ones which were made "fast" are much to inaccurate, but the factions with those bows can always also pick an accurate bow, so no one class is ruined by it.

lol cry us a river

 

[Shatti]

they deserve nerfing, they kill very fast and run very fast and they have modern sniper level accuracy.

lol cry us a river

the infantry has been crying for 10 years in a row.
1 post about archers = lol cry us a river
chill

it's not a nerf, it's just that from patch to patch they try to do something that is not clear. I would like certainty

 

[mrArgentum]

Hahaha, sweet tears of archers. Divine nectar. Seems like your dead clan will be even more dead after this patch xD

 

[Forsee]

They got nerfed cause nobody likes them
Short bows are ok in fights
Long bows are useless in fights, but good for harassing your enemy before the fight starts. When it starts you can fight in melee with your team, using your menav\glaive\sword-shield etc. Basically most of the archers are good shock infs.
Xbows are too strong. It feels like vlandia now is by far the best faction in game thanks to their xbows.
Choosing archer is optional now and I think 60-70% of games it is better to play 2cav4inf (if you are not playing vlandia or empire).
I think Khan's guard is too weak now, khuzait is now literally the worst faction for an archer. Recurve bow is shiet. Cheap empire bowman has the same bow as elite khan's guard do, and that bow is just too bad. Rest factions are ok I think.
Cav is too strong

Tbh inf is by far the most fun to play and has the best skill based combat, archers u aim adjust for movement and rang and fire, cav is timing and movement. Archers deal to much dmg for how easy the class is to play

 

[EbdanianAdmiral]

It is much easier to shoot around shields in Bannerlord than Warband, the bows do more damage in Bannerlord than in Warband. The archers are much stronger in melee as well. Other than some of the individual stats on bows, archery is fine.

Like listening to opinions from those who play infantry. Course you like it when you can't be shot.

No.

I’m archer main and it’s too easy I’ve been switching to inf cuz it’s much more challenging

Archer feels even less satisfying to play. Previous big update made it tedious, now it's even worse, with that bouncing reticule and the unnecessary 3 first perks. Faster and makes less damage? and otherwise face that awkward aim bump? The only thing that has a better game feel are the crossbows but, heh, it's only the high Empire archer now or any vlandian. No money for that? sry, take this bumpy aim bow. Was playing Khuzait recently and the only class that feels somewhat fun to play is the first one.

Im one of the best Archer mains in Warband, And I played more archer than inf in bannerlord. Nothing close to an infantry player lmao

Я один из лучших лучников в Warband, и я играл больше лучников, чем Inf в Bannerlord. Ничего похожего на пехотинца lmao

Not about your comment, but funny that already the third person says that he is the best archer

No i am

I'm saying this as someone who mainly plays archer. The archery is 100% better now, longbows got a slight dmg buff putting them in 1 headshot-ko territory, rewarding pinpoint accuracy while also making the aiming window smaller, punishing quick shots. Shortbows fire way quicker now, rewarding an agressive playstyle while also reducing accuracy, punishing standing far away.

From the buffs and nerfs you can tell these changes were deliberate to enable diffrent playstyles for diffrent bows and make them unique. These changes aren't bad, you just have to adjust to them as a player, in the meantime there are still bows that are between the 2 extremes that suit the old playstyle of an all-rounder.

Of course I'm not suggesting the chagnes are perfect, presonally I think that crossbows are too powerful now and the nerfs to some shortbows were too extreme (you can't hit anything further than 10 m with a supreme bow like wtf). But the archery is far more skillful, varied and satisfying.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you dislike the new changes because you suck.
git gud
