I don’t have you blocked

Theres no reason for me to have a deep discussion with you because you have no intent to have a discussion, despite your asking for it.

wheat sentinel

0/5

I've talked to you in this discord for a year now, you have absolutely no intention of ever discussing anything with anyone. You need help.

0/6,

honest jetty
# wheat sentinel 0/6,

dude is actually trying to help you... but instead youre too focused on saving your own ego.

wheat sentinel
#

When you are all done trying to attack me you can get to the topic, or don’t and get your personal insults out.

honest jetty
# wheat sentinel K

i'll take that as a sign of "i accept that i have lost and am just replying in order to stay in the coversation"

honest jetty
#

why would you need to have my profile in order to attack the points i make?.. hmm???

wheat sentinel
#

So just more attacks got it

honest jetty
#

pointing out the truth=attack

wheat sentinel
#

Lol ok

honest jetty
#

you asked for my profile several times, because i was making points that you couldnt debate against

so you chose to admit defeat by attempting to find something that you could use to devalue what i was saying.

long nexus
#

guys stop pointing out things keeper does, it's a personal attack

wheat sentinel
#

I explained why bud. You are forgetting that.

honest jetty
#

its the same scummy, pitiful excuse for making yourself look better that politicians use in order to get themselves higher than their opponents

wheat sentinel
#

Lol just leave if you don’t want to meet the baseline to continue.

This thread is a volunteer basis and you have me blocked so you choose to engage.

white venture
#

I think being on discord is bad for your mental health.

white venture
#

Case and point. Keep counting.

#

Come on, wheres 0/8?

wheat sentinel
#

How is that case in point? You are insulting me and with your history? Sheeesh

white venture

Or I guess we are 0/10 now with this message

This is now a how high can Keeper count thread šŸ˜Ž

honest jetty
wheat sentinel
#

He can probably get the personal insults way up before he gets dealt with

white venture
#

I think the best part is how easy it is. I said "keep counting" and he instantly stops.

white venture
#

He's so desperate to not let anyone have a W that he will shoot himself in the foot and then make fun of you for it.

Are you ok man? Do you need help?

You sub to that channel and when I stream public again you feel free to offer all the non-archer advice you can. Maybe some will be helpful.

#

I tell you what , I will even listen to your Archer advice

honest jetty
# wheat sentinel I’m not really into coaching from players who don’t share gameplay or do you liv...

"those who cant do coach"... is English your first language?

ive coach in tf2.. csgo (pretty well retired)... and a VR game called "onward" (look it up, its a really great shooter)

ive coached a lot of player that are mechanically a lot better than i am. i have nerve damage in the left side of my body, so mechanics arent exactly my strong suit

now.. why would a player that could aim better than i do.. come to me for coaching, i typing feverishly.

its because im able to take things from an analytical view, telling them how to improve, without changing their preferred playtyle.. and gain new knowledge they didnt have prior

i do this though experience, the ability to convey the information in a way they will understand, and keep things light-hearted so they understand that everyone is always learning.

yes, i coach because my skillset is different than the average players

now, lets look at you, a 31% accuracy isnt exactly "mechanically godlike"..

and out of the few melee fights you were part of, you lost the only 1v1, and NEARLY lost the 2nd before your teammate saved you

i can give you A LOT of tips on how to not even end up in those situations, let alone thrive in them.

#

also.. you keep claiming that im not an archer main...

because you cant handle the fact that someone might understand the game better than you without devoting their entire life to it..

but you know what the funny things is... even the ACTUAL non-archer players in this thread are able to point out the flaws in what youre requesting to change..

wheat sentinel

Maybe it's less about "theyre an archer player" and more about trying to have discussions with unreasonable people, especially people who cant admit to being wrong even when presented with evidence of being wrong. Or some people presenting evidence that doesn't actually prove anything. Like if I wanted to say archer was too strong and uploaded a clip of an archer with a knife spamming slash at me and I die, that doesn't prove anything. A lot of the "evidence" people use is weak at best, irrelevant or contradictory at worst.

violet yew
white venture
#

I don't think so. I try to be pretty reasonable to everyone but lets go into your case, for example. You used evidence that doesn't prove anything, reasoning that didn't really make much sense, and when you were proven wrong you really avoided that at all costs and started to deflect questions.

wheat sentinel
#

Calls people unreasonable

Does nothing but personally insult people in a thread of a person he has blocked

Peak Lol

I tend to insult people that I don't respect. I never said I don't.

Always has been

violet yew
#

ty for pointing that out

nimble viper
#

Demanding to see people’s lvls should be the issue

white venture
#

I don't think that's fair. I treated you with respect and treated your opinions very honestly up until you couldn't hold an argument, then I began to lose respect for your arguments because of it. You did a lot of deflecting and a lot of avoiding.

violet yew
#

Then you proceed to insult cause i decided to start answering another persons question?

#

Thanks for pointing that out too

white venture
#

No, you were asked a question and gave a bad answer and when you were asked to followup, you swapped topics and tried to insult me and sidestep the question.

white venture
#

Maybe this is why I don't respect what you have to say.

violet yew
white venture
#

If you want to have a conversation like an adult, try acting like an adult. I wouldn't insult you if you acted like an adult.

I'm willing to show you some respect starting right now, provided you start acting like you deserve said respect. Up to you.

white venture
wheat sentinel
#

Yup, he is quick to report people to defend him because he plays with all the mods since he has 6,000+ hours in the game.

It’s best to let him pretend his words mean something until he gets disinterested like a puppy and wanders off.

i dont go to duel servers often (usually just preferring the mindless chaos that is 32v32).. but was in a mood to practice mechanics. got my shit rocked. but learned some shit

im also probably in the vicinity of ~500 archer levels between epic and steam

give skirmisher the larger body type too for laughs

honest jetty
# west pond give skirmisher the larger body type too for laughs

an actual change that would be both logical AND make sense "historically" would to be giving skirmisher* the footman passive of dodge cooldown reduction

OR make their dodge cost half the stam... youre not wearing armor, so its a logical change for either.

west pond
#

half stam dodges would be cool

#

so many shit 1hk archer anyway might as well

frosty briar
#

The two threads are pretty much,A. buff archer hard, or B. Nerf normal archers, light buff to good archers, buff on jav users etc small changes. If yall want archer balance its still gonna be heavily dependent on a buff, a nerf, and an actual autobalance

#

I say both attempts on archer balancing is awful on both keepers and ziggys side because keepers obvious major buffing, ziggy thinks archers killing archers will cause more of a counter to them although true a lil, ur not countering archer mains at all this way, just ruining a defense teams archers even more likely

#

Javelin user changes are good though

honest jetty
# frosty briar The two threads are pretty much,A. buff archer hard, or B. Nerf normal archers,...

there are several, i have one of my own

i feel like most people focus on the archers themselves, and not the interaction between archers and melee (which is where the complaint come from)

ziggy focuses on archer vs archer, which the warbow already does. but its not enough to give archers a reason to shoot at each other

keeper wants to buff archer

i purposed a change to make archer take more projective damage (throwing weapons primarily) with a slight buff to swap speed to give them an opportunity to block it

and salt proposed to make arrows blockable

there are a lot of opinions. but there are clearly some troll ones in there too

frosty briar
#

Nah arrows blockable will kill the entire range system

#

Point is to keep range enjoyable and people to still pick it

#

But also fix its issues

honest jetty
frosty briar
#

Thrown damage can be buffed against an archer for maybe a throwing axe+javelin but not the knives

honest jetty
frosty briar
#

Swap is terrible idea

honest jetty
#

its to give archer an opportunity to defend themselves against the throwing weapon weakness.

ive done the math (there are like 61 things to factor in, so its possible my math is a bit off)

the average damage of a thrown weapon is 44.32 damage

currently. that means, on average, you would need to land 3 in order kill the archer

pastel mantle
#

I think the best change is no change because there is really no way to make it balanced besides making the bow more readable maybe and increase walking speed with shield up

honest jetty
pastel mantle
#

also yeah swap speed would just make them better because then they can hold you off for longer

honest jetty
pastel mantle
#

as for thowables i don’t think many would risk switching as most archers will go for the shot right when your in there face

honest jetty
#

arrows get value really easily. and that overall should stay the same.. but the ways to punish the archer if the archer isnt very skill. needs to change

currently, its difficult to kill an archer in general and survive (you might kill them, but the odds of you making it back to the fight without getting ganked by a spawn wave are low)

with throwing weapons, youre either reducing the distance you need to close, indirectly buffing classes like ambusher and 2/3 knight subclasses, since they have knives/axes. (this option has a lot more safety when keeping in the spawn-wave-gank-squad)

OR. the archer pulls out their secondary in order to defend from the thrown weapon weakness. and you can now fight them in melee combat

long nexus
frosty briar
#

Theres no problem on not spotting an archer, if i can block a arrow its enough for me to get away from that archer, it likely wont make sense either to drain much stam vs other items like axes or javelins

#

I can realistically stop a good archer and put his actual skill to complete uselessness due to it

#

If i blocked his arrows

frosty briar
#

If the archer switches sure itll be off their ranged item but it wont make em fight just run

long nexus
#

For stamina drain I was mostly thinking about approaching the archer, since you'd be holding block while covering ground

frosty briar
#

If you want a counter to new archers you gotta nerf the archers aim assist so newbs arent just getting free hits 24/7

#

In close range

long nexus
#

And for blocking, they still have pressure on you in a team fight. They'd force you to position against them

frosty briar
#

And only if they are alone

#

I thibk its a win loss overall melee wont counter archers by killing thsm but just holding objs and blocking them normally

#

Good Archers will remain as safe but their skill is effectively screwed

#

This is why thrown items can be blocked and not arrows

long nexus
#

You gotta put this in a team context too. The melee all have each other to worry about, the archers will still have targets, bandaging or downed opponents are free hits, people's backs and sides, those not holding block

#

Even those that have clocked the archer, because this is no change to readability, so you would have a hard time blocking on reaction

frosty briar
#

I could standby a downed guy with my sword now and protect him

#

It just seems unfair

long nexus
#

Seems like counterplay, now the pressure of one archer has two people out the fight

frosty briar
#

Its a counterplay but a very op one for melee players

long nexus
#

And then of course the archer with good sight lines can just pick another target

frosty briar
#

They will be forced to do that so much, they'll run out of ammo if its a newb, obtain 1-2 kills if good

#

Unless hunting archers

#

Which again only screws newb archers a ton and only ruins range vs melee a lot

long nexus
#

I'm not even against arrows doing regular stam damage, which is still more pressure from range

#

But this is why private servers would be nice, we could all see how it plays out

frosty briar
#

One thing certain is thrown items should be buffed against long range classes

long nexus
#

My general thought for this is archers having ranged pressure, but not necessarily free damage against even players that are focusing them

frosty briar
#

Maybe add a weight+drawback nerf on instant release or reduce damage on short release

#

That way they suck running away, and drain extra stam dodging too much

#

It will make archers more cautious

#

Esp good archer players

#

And prevent bow spam shortdraw shots

long nexus
#

That would be nice

#

The other change I'd like is having a release animation instead, so you could read when to counter. This is instead of blocking ofc

frosty briar
#

Actually maybe allow countering on short release arrows

#

As well

#

They are after all not being shot with much force

long nexus
#

Though archers can't really alter the timing if that so a good player would shut them down most of the time

#

Which is why block with unreadable release works better imo because you can still mind game them as an archer. Hit their block once or twice and now the melee had a stamina disadvantage coming into the melee fight, or the fight with the spawn wave that just turned up

#

Especially with xbow, you can wait for block to drop then boop them in the face

frosty briar
#

Archers sacrifice the cost of melee for being distant and inflicting damage far. Just gotta be stuff there to be cautious to melee or ambush. As well as some balance to just in general force a good roster vs a good roster

#

Tired of archer mains going 24/7 attack also screwing defense just as team stackers

#

I propose a full roster balance in the start of the game. The 31/31 team switching does nothing at all. Abd it was a foolish idea on the developers side. Esp when games can start even with 7 high levels vs 1-0

#

Were experienced and we shouldnt be picking the obvious side to grab more kills or die less, people should not forget about the people just steamrolled entirely through that process

wheat sentinel
#

I see vastly more melee mains stacking than Archer but go off king. (hell do you not remember ā€œStackā€ group from discord?)

You guys have to stop blaming archers for everything. It’s sad.

Also the hilarious ā€œcounter playā€ argument for archers when you pick a 2 hander is dumb, you have an option to counter play an Archer you chose not to and you aren’t getting buffed to fix your choice.

Rock , Paper and scissor. You melee mains here just want to be a counter all class.

These tired talking points are embarrassing and reek of entitled gamers who don’t want to use the tools they already have.

Weak mentality and weaker players

long nexus
#

You could learn from two people having an actual discussion instead of just throwing out insults, but you don't. Then play victim when people fire back at you, and wonder why you're the one being muted.

void storm
#

Fellas

frosty briar
#

my discussion above that was on archers like you actually having very low counters and definitely needing some checks since you actually have little to no counters as good archers will only always join a attackers side most of the time and not give defense a shot as much as other stackers, this isn't a archer only thing, this is why we need an actual auto balance. not a 31/31 team switching feature

#

the changes above wont impact archers as much and allow melee to at least somewhat counter archers effectively with their possibilities while not being either op as hell either

#

not unless ur straight up close to someone or spamming ur bow in short drawn attacks

#

or if a player throws and downs you with only buffed throwing damage to you, which a archer should learn to counter by using the dodge feature, this is not a melee only function and i know you archers already do so to escape melee

wheat sentinel
frosty briar

wheat sentinel
#

They won’t ever implement a balance system for this game as they fall back on the ā€œcasualā€ and light hearted approach.

long nexus
wheat sentinel
#

Their efforts have only increased the issue of team balance.

The most recent being players sitting in spectator mode.

Which you didn’t address and is a far worse issue.

wheat sentinel
#

Also you have to go out of your way to see my comments since you have me blocked. So your opinion on what I say or how I say it is irrelevant since you already chose not to see it.

Move along

frosty briar
#

i just mean straight up put into a damn team and toggled to remain for at least an objective

#

that or till the game ends

#

we do not deserve freedom to pick our teams as much if its only gonna fuck the other side most of the time

I will also leave you blocked so you mald harder over the fact you can't post cap emotes on anything you don't like

wheat sentinel
#

As long as they don't go the Loot box route like Halo lol

tawny raven
#

Nay to blocking arrows

#

Might as well only use the skirmisher subclass at that point since you'll be doing higher projectile dmg, have a shield, more stamina, and better secondaries

#

The only bow remotely worth it anymore would be warbow for shooting other archers (who are now largely useless)

wheat sentinel
#

That is their end goal, They want to nerf the class so much it is not played and removed.

long nexus
tawny raven
#

Range advantage with the warbow, sure. The longbow and crossbow, not really... And sitting back will now be even more useless with how many of your arrows will be blocked whether intentionally or unintentionally

#

The low projectile speed already disincentivizes staying back, if you add in held block blocking all arrows there is 0 point

long nexus
#

I'm open to other ways for weapons to counterplay archers, this is the method I think would work well while not kneecapping archers too hard

#

Like, the blocked arrow still doing full stam damage, allowing archers to disarm people

wheat sentinel
#

He wants to be able to know when to block even though Melee can Feint/Morph and Cancel their attacks so you can hide it/Delay it.

He wants Archers to have 1 arrow speed and it to be 100% readable.
Not realizing the same thing for Melee would be making it 100% the same speed everytime and 100% blockable with no Stam drain.

I

long nexus
#

Maybe a suppression point bonus so you don't lose the points from damage

tawny raven
#

This would 100% kneecap them imo

wheat sentinel
#

Imagine all Melee could do is Slash or Overhead at the exact same speed every time and not be able to Delay or change it.

That is his suggestion with Arrows. But with no Stam drain.

pastel mantle

Archers need to have free damage it’s just not viable

I don't think that's true

tawny raven
#

They're a liability if they don't have an opportunity to harass for free dmg

#

And sure I could still shoot enemies in animations, at least after the counter window, but still not interrupt their swings

#

Rather play melee at that point and actually have presence on the obj

#

And interrupt attacks

long nexus
#

Well it's the same right now except they have no way to play against you

#

Besides run through the enemy team

#

I'd be up for other buffs if it meant archers had counterplay

tawny raven
#

I think there's plenty of changes that could be tried before doing something so drastic

wheat sentinel
#

Take away Archers damage and buff their Melee is not a buff it is removing a class to add another Melee

tawny raven
#

On the other hand there's now little counterplay to a melee rushing an archer with block held up

#

Now every class can do it

long nexus
#

Did I say buff the melee?

pastel mantle
wheat sentinel
#

What are you going to do to replace making their Ranged massively weaker?

tawny raven
#

You have to position aggressively to harass consistently, especially if counters and held block now block arrows

#

You can now only shoot people already in animations, hence needing to be closer

long nexus
#

Make that counterable range have more power, possibly

wheat sentinel
pastel mantle
#

But you can’t tell when they shoot cause there’s no animation

wheat sentinel
tawny raven
#

You cannot hold a nocked arrow for very long at all before you lose all accuracy and stamina

#

You can outstam a drawing archer by holding block on every melee class

wheat sentinel
#

These are things people who play Archer know, Not people who are rushing to make them easier to play against.

long nexus
#

Xbow can. Bow you can cancel and recharge. Maybe make that faster to allow for more mindgames

pastel mantle
long nexus
tawny raven
#

You need to hold it if they have block up or it's useless to fire

pastel mantle
wheat sentinel
#

Same with leading or waiting on them to clear your team, You have to think ahead to shoot the majority of the time.

long nexus
#

Make longbow lower stam drain, faster draw so it becomes the close range option

wheat sentinel
#

Longbow is the close range option already

tawny raven
#

Ya it is

west pond
#

longbow is fine for close range as is

long nexus
#

More viable if they can be blocked

wheat sentinel
#

Because it has lower stam drain lol

west pond
#

learn how it shoots from just tapping fire rather than holding at all

wheat sentinel
#

Man it's wild how little you know about the class you are wanting to nerf into the ground

west pond
#

if they knew how to play archer

#

they wouldnt need it nerfed

wheat sentinel
#

They just know it hurts when they play 2 hander with 0 awareness and want it taken away

long nexus
#

These are suggestions along with the arrow counterplay

tawny raven
#

I understand they can be frustrating to play against but some suggestions are just doing too much

wheat sentinel
#

Arrow Counter play you want is 1 Speed , Easy to read animation and easy to counter

pastel mantle
#

i definitely don’t understand how to aim and shoot

west pond
#

ive never really found a viable reason for archer nerf requests, it always comes down to "i dont enjoy being hit by arrows and am too lazy to go 1hk the archer"

wheat sentinel
#

"I don't want to counter them, I want them gone"

long nexus
west pond
#

somehow all of these people act like walking up to an archer is an impossible task, yet despite my ~500 archer levels, i have more time spent on vanguard and knight as individual classes and lemme tell you...killing archers is ez af

tawny raven
#

Nerf aim assist before doing anything else lol

west pond
#

in fact, vanguard and knight are better at ranged combat than archers are in most senses if you can manage to figure out how to throw any of the 200 weapons on teh ground

long nexus
#

Make things up, bud. You love it so much when it happens to you

wheat sentinel
long nexus
#

Since that's a core concept of melee slashers

wheat sentinel
#

All weapons can have their damage countered with a shield.

tawny raven
#

It can actually be quite hard to harass with longbow with how much enemies move during animations, your team getting in the way, bad projectile speed, bad servers, etc

wheat sentinel
#

That again would require him to play the class to understand

#

They were claiming it was Hitscan a few weeks ago

tawny raven
#

And countering your teammates' swings often leads to a countered arrow as well, considering that's when they are most open to being shot

long nexus
#

I dunno who that was, but not me

wheat sentinel
#

You all blur together into the same bad talking points.

tawny raven
#

Come on now šŸ˜”

wheat sentinel
#

I mean he just advocated for making the Longbow the close range option. How is that supposed to be make us take him serious.

pastel mantle
#

anyways archers don’t need a buff like the title says

#

They have free damage, both melee and range openings

long nexus
#

This is why discussing things is important, but keeper doesn't discuss, it just wants yes men

wheat sentinel
pastel mantle
#

i don’t have him block but i’m actively not playing into his little games lol

tawny raven
#

They have safe damage yes, I wouldn't consider sacrificing all your melee power, stamina, and objective presence and still having to aim well very free tbh

long nexus
pastel mantle
wheat sentinel
long nexus
#

Highlight those points more with the blockable arrows

wheat sentinel
#

This is why I ask for a min archer level to discuss balance with the class. To prevent people from thinking they have a fix that is already in the game.

tawny raven
#

If aim assist was nerfed complaints would fall greatly

long nexus
#

Still cant read šŸ¤”

#

I don't think anyone is against the aim assist issue. But it's worth balancing against at least slightly competent archers, not people who can't aim at all

pastel mantle
tawny raven
#

You don't know how to play longbow if you're advising me to stay in the back

#

I have no problem with stabbing people that slip through

pastel mantle
tawny raven
#

Longbow is only relatively common due to it being the first available weapon

#

It's quite weak and hard to use with its bad projectile speed

#

So it necessitates positioning aggressively

long nexus
#

And you get to fire into engaged enemies while they can do nothing to you

pastel mantle
#

All i’ll say is that i don’t think there is a way to balance archers besides removing aim assist that will make both parties content

long nexus
#

Maybe they break through, maybe another players does, bit in that moment you get unstoppable damage

wheat sentinel
#

Aim assist isn’t even a factor with good archer so it wouldn’t solve anything

long nexus
#

Or, actually reliably stoppable damage

violet yew
long nexus
#

Same to melee classes, it's part of the skill of playing. But a melee class in melee rnage throwing out an overhead or stab to hit you instead isn't getting free damage

tawny raven
#

An archer shooting you from a distance while you're fighting is comparable to a melee class ganking you and hitting you in the back while fighting I'd say

#

One is from a distance yes but you sacrifice a ton to be effective from a distance

long nexus
#

Similar, but if you have awareness you can counter that player

tawny raven
#

You can't be aware of every single flank in a dense 64 player match

#

You're gonna get bonked in the back occasionally

long nexus
#

And you're gonna get shot in the sides and face cos you cannot be expected to track all the archers in the game either, even if you can block them

violet yew
long nexus
#

Which even with blockable arrows you keep that pressure on their positioning.

wheat sentinel
#

No pressure if you just can press block from anywhere to negate damage

long nexus
#

Its not magic, you still have to track the archer, judge when they'll shoot or have no stamina

pastel mantle
#

almost the same as when you block a melee attack

wheat sentinel
#

But you can delay and morph melee you want an easily read animation that is the same every time for Archers

#

So substantially easier to deal with

long nexus
#

Not with the current unreadable release

wheat sentinel
#

Which is the equivalent to a Melee being able to mix up his attacks right?

pastel mantle
#

I can just block melee

violet yew
#

That is the only reason why Shields were ever invented

frosty briar
pastel mantle
#

maybe buff that first

frosty briar
#

because realistically you would be able to block off a arrow if its so weak and able to be catched

#

vs a decently drawn arrow

violet yew

tawny raven

If your good at melee and can aim, archer should not be allowed in public TO

tawny raven
#

You just can't really main a class when it's constantly full on the limit unless you keep server hopping

tawny raven
#

I play every class, not a big deal to me

pastel mantle
#

i’d just play ambushed if no archer

Except when our archers are really shit and blocking doorways and all that and I'm thinking this mf is taking up a slot

Meeting a death threat with kindness isn’t coping, it’s deescalating a person looking for attention with extreme comments.

It’s a pretty common technique.
