Parents should discipline their children before it's too late.
"im the victim"
-guy who think thats time played = ability to understand the game enough to make balance suggestions
Again offer something on topic you are 0/3
he just canāt comprehend that people have different opinions and heās must definitely not always right
Why? So you can go "no youre wrong and bad and an idiot"?
0/4
offer a logical change to archer
right now youre 0/15..
K
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.
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.
getting a deep discussion out of keeper that is actually going to result in something, its like trying to get milk from a bull
all thats going to happen is someone is going to get pissed off
0/6,
dude is actually trying to help you... but instead youre too focused on saving your own ego.
K
When you are all done trying to attack me you can get to the topic, or donāt and get your personal insults out.
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"
but you do the exact same thing... constantly
why would you need to have my profile in order to attack the points i make?.. hmm???
So just more attacks got it
pointing out the truth=attack
Lol ok
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.
guys stop pointing out things keeper does, it's a personal attack
I explained why bud. You are forgetting that.
its the same scummy, pitiful excuse for making yourself look better that politicians use in order to get themselves higher than their opponents
Lol just leave if you donāt want to meet the baseline to continue.
This thread is a volunteer basis and you have me blocked so you choose to engage.
I think being on discord is bad for your mental health.
0/7
How is that case in point? You are insulting me and with your history? Sheeesh
Or I guess we are 0/10 now with this message
This is now a how high can Keeper count thread š
again, im here to make sure youre not spreading misinformation
hence why ive been so active in this thread
He can probably get the personal insults way up before he gets dealt with
I think the best part is how easy it is. I said "keep counting" and he instantly stops.
See previous comment
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.
re-read my comment
Are you ok man? Do you need help?
keeper needs links and guides or heās lost sadly
2 people begging a person they have blocked for attention is sad, go have fun and enjoy life. Stop trying to attack me with toothless insults and failed psycho babble.
"theyre begging me for attention"
š
He doesn't know.
He thinks he knows and he doesn't know.
What are you doing? You have me blocked and spamming my thread? Trying to insult me
and 1 person begging for attention from the devs and entire community because youre not very good at the class you play...?
Ya thatās it
im glad you agree. because that one person... is YOU
If you say so man
I think they should add wind like in golf games
That would be fun
This is embarrassing. Congratulations Keeper, I'm leaving, have fun being a laughing stock.
Bye bud god bless

both are core examples, that you have issue in melee combat, therefore you think archer needs to be buffed, because you cannot offset the innate weakness of the class with personal skill

Thanks man, I will take your suggestions into consideration.
You want to do some other games? Itās always neat to hear from other players who donāt play Archer on the gameplay.
how about this. we'll setup a call and i'll coach you
Iām not really into coaching from players who donāt share gameplay or do you live the coaching slogan āthose who canāt do coachā?
it'll be much more direct advice, as i'd be able to explain in real time
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
"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..
Typos happen man, calm down.
Like I said send some gameplay and we can talk. If you want to try to ācoachā I told you how.
So far you have shown yourself to be pretty ignorant to the Archer class overall and wildly hesitant to share your info. Both red flags.
im not going to be your 30th sub.. ask for a pity sub from someone else.
so.. if youre a 500+ archer.. what level is everything else?
i feel like youve only gotten to see 1 side of this interaction. and youre trying to speak on both's half.. with an extreme bias
Again not sharing more info from a person scared to show any of his
but im not the one making false claims...
so.. whats the point?
im saying that you spend more time on archer, than you do on a melee class getting SHOT by archers
also, if youre as skilled as you say you are... why dont you play competitively?
Again if you want to continue share your info or go back to blocking me and being irrelevant
wow, we went past deflecting the question. and went straight to running away from it.
this is a relevant question though
if you are as good as you think you are. why do you not play competitively against other players of your "skill" level?
personally, i feel its because youre scared that you'd get a reality check and your ego would have to take a hit.
Still no info? Tag me when you man up
@wheat sentinel why are you dodging the question so much? scared to answer?
man up and just answer... its simple
youre being a hypocrite AND deflecting at the same time. thats honestly impressive.
mental illness is what it is
shocked none of these threads had been closed yet as you guys are doing this in 5 different threads all the same bickering about 1 class lol.
These mods don't anything not even sure why they are mods. I had post about archers before these post but I had the mods lock it because these toxic users kept insulting others.
This is why i stopped replying to these type of threads about archers. Its completely Biased and if you aint agreeing with someone your completely wrong lol. Its getting to the point where they are even saying now " Its main archers that are trolls " " Its anti archer that are trolls " Its both lol. Its the same people too which is crazy and the mods should just get rid of them.
Also this is happening through multiple archer threads too and mods are just letting it happen lol.
Mod dont do anything in this server they play favoritism with their user friends. If you try to report any user for breaking the rules the mods come up with a lame solution to "block" when it doesnt even work.
Yeah they gave me the same excuse with the other thread and one of the mods even witnessed the toxicity happening but he did nothing about it.
Yeah but if you defend yourself against toxic players insulting you get punished for it.
I actually even muted them too but i still got in trouble cause i asked them " If im wasting my time let me know " wasnt " Topic related and trolly " lol
best way to get mod attention now is just to ping all the mods in the threads lol then something happens
Well the mods revoked my access to message chivmail now because I called them out on the favoritism towards their toxic friends. Not trying that lol with these bias mods.
lol
Bro theres literally archers arguing with archers.
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.
You realize your part of the issue too right?
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.
Calls people unreasonable
Does nothing but personally insult people in a thread of a person he has blocked
Peak Lol
I don't think you're too unreasonable but it's still difficult to have discussions with you.
You insult people really?
Like why you gonna lie about it?
I tend to insult people that I don't respect. I never said I don't.
Then your the issue as well
Always has been
ty for pointing that out
Demanding to see peopleās lvls should be the issue
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.
Answering 2 people at once when asked different questions is considered dodging?
Then you proceed to insult cause i decided to start answering another persons question?
Thanks for pointing that out too
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.
You're being quite a baby right now, if I'm honest.
Maybe this is why I don't respect what you have to say.
But then you expect people to respect you back for what you say?
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.
We can drag this out or we can try once more.
This is why i stopped replying cause you cant handle criticism and when its not going your way the insults begin which is why i stated your the issue
I guess you aren't interested.
There isnt any talking to you cause again if they disagree you insult and become a child thanks for showing it here as well.
If they were interested they wouldnāt be crying about the people crying about the game
You have to understand this is all he has and why he is so combative to people.
Just be nice itās not worth the worry of what your words will do.
Thats why i stopped bothering and let you guys argue between yourselves.
I stopped arguing with him a long time ago when I seen how much time he has invested in this game. Now I just try to deflect his insults and be nice to him.
Itās best for everyone if that is what you do.
If you say so. Someone like you not wanting to have a discussion with me is absolutely no loss to me, because your opinions, your ideas and your reasoning skills are awful.
See
Well funny thing is too a mod even said the samething i said in the other thread that he thought was no argument and yet he didnt insult him. Why? Cause he a mod and he knew he get thrown in timeout if he did lol
Infact, it's likely these reasons that you act the way you do, blaming me for calling you out on your bullshit and then throwing a tantrum, then crying about how I insulted you when I bring that up.
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.
Itās best to let him pretend his words mean something until he gets disinterested like a puppy and wanders off.
You are right man, as always.
100% man you are killing it
What could go wrong the playerbase sticks around this time?
I guess killing it is better than killing the game, which you seem to want to do.
Eventually people gonna go back to chiv 1
Totally good one ziggy , you are always so funny.
See thatās how itās done. He loses his drive.
Chiv 1 still got people playing
still fun
whatās funny about this whole thing is that there is 17 nauseated faces on this thread
You know you can die in 1 hit from bows there?
That is nice you all did the same emoji. A good change from the random ones.
You know Keeper, you always act like I'm some sort of villain, but yet, I have helped more people than you've ever even talked to. At what point will you stop blaming me and start looking at yourself as the issue?
like your repeating cap emote
You are so right man. Itās always me, you are so smart.
I mean yeah, thats why no one likes you, dude.
Totally man
I hope you feel better getting all these toothless insults and empty words out man.
to be fair, both of you dont like me... but at least ziggy can debate a point and not just default to "no youre wrong because im a higher level"
I think heās talking to himself
weird ass possum shit, rolling into a ball like a creature, doesn't even stand up for his himself
so close to the good ending
I donāt dislike anyone, but I do pity some.
I don't feel anything insulting you because I don't feel joy of making others feel bad, I'm not a psycho.
He literally did that above lol
Cool man, so wise
Homeless guy looking at rich person in their house:
"I pity them..."
Good one! Killing it
Why are you here if you have me blocked?
He came back š
Keep this up heās gonna demand to see lvls
if everyone has you blocked... why do you talk?
Iām amazed all these people are in this thread if they
have me blocked ā
Donāt like archers ā
Im level 1000 now so its impossible to be higher level than me. š
You have to be level 1000 in archer class
Darn.
Well if someone has you blocked you dont know cause it still shows their messages but they cant see the person blocked unless they decide to actually click to view the messages
another day another archer thread
No I donāt have them blocked but I can tell when I go to emoji their comment and it doesnāt let you.
So they are actively going out of their way to comment here and unblock every comment
he cant spam cap emojis on everyone to feel like a big boy
Nah just confused on why you press Block and then continue to talk to them. I guess itās just love.
that was supposed to be reply to kwazi but
oof
you're an archer main now buddy, it's too late, I'm sorry
Itās makes sense a melee main misses a comment to reply to
Bruh donāt do me like that
fighting the good fight
youre a melee main now??
there we go
ty for the heads up. it makes it easier to switch your bullshit fountain off
Donāt you guys have a corner to go back to and talk about me?
dont you remember just earlier when he missed the message i posted and i litterally had to link it to him...?
oh no the personal attacks are coming
i must cry
Thatās called a joke bud, I guess you canāt see them coming either.
i canāt tell when youāre serious with threads like this
lol
keeper admited to being a melee main . thats a win in my book
Hey Iām about to que for central if you guys want to get farmed and help me get my 8KD. See you there
Keeper: "i dont insult people, im a victim"
The keeper in question:
You not getting an obvious joke is pretty on point.
stop deflecting
How can you make jokes if no one thinks you're funny?
because according to your own words, you dont like and everything you say it facts
Oh god here goes the āwe speak for the majorityā angle
forgot that we are the vocal minority huh
Maybe you're just bad at jokes, you're pretty bad at everything you do except your tenacity and ego.
Dang good one
I know.
Remember if you have me blocked and spamming me, you just want attention.
@white venture worm tactic. It's like he becomes a worm so you feel bad stepping on him
Prove it.
Anyone that comments after this just wants attention
mememememe
i got the last word
LOLOLOLOLOL
I guess I could use some attention, sure.
it's schooyard rules now lads
do you feel important yet?
alright, so we now have factual proof that keeper is just a troll who needs attention
last one to the trebuchets like girls
ironically mispelling schoolyard. it's not lost on me
first person to type "1" is now the best archer
congrats badger, youre now better than keeper!
nooooo
to be fair.. he gave himself that title. so its like being the valedictorian of a class of one person...
well you're wrong, so L + ratio kid
eh, just give it to the first archer you see land an arrow.
but they can just counter it, it's so easy
no one lands arrows, they all get countered
badger, you werent here earlier.. i watched a video (one that keeper posted to his youtube, so he CHOSE to post it).... he missed 11/12 arrows
ābring a shield or become a parry godā
you can just predict the arrow before it's fired i don't know what the problem is
nope your wrong
well if youre playing against a "good archer" like keeper... just walk in a straight line with your back to him.
you are too
donāt bother i gotta game to watch noobs
yes, good one guy
iāll be back with answers
lol tyn, you keep me entertained. great impression
sure buddy
can i have attention?
yes you can. i think i ran into you in a duel server
lol and you did which region?
central or east, cant remember. NA*
I play both so yeah most likely.
most of those archer changes seem pretty good
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
and brazier is garbage
brazier is the only reason i ever switch to xbow
I usually go in there when im called cause someone rdming in it lol
idgaf what level archers get warbow or team reflect tho tbh
i feel that specials can be shifted around. skirmisher would be better suited with banner, and cbow would be better with quiver, etc
there was.... A LOT of it, so yeah. it was you for sure lol
i dont think any class deserves quiver lol
would rather see them give it a healkit like ambusher or wwhatever than quiver
Yeah the discord im in we have a tag call if they cant kick out an rdmer so they call people to come in and just fuck them up till they leave lol
if it would replenish the bandage aswell. it would actually be decent. giving skirmisher a chance to fight and not run back and forth to resupply because they got hit once.
which discord, i was in the pax discord lol
Fighting Pit its an FFA discord mostly
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.
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
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
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
so what about the proposal of having archers take increased thrown damage? to give melee an opportunity to lethally threaten the archer from outside of melee range?
Thrown damage can be buffed against an archer for maybe a throwing axe+javelin but not the knives
why not the knives? keep in mind the slight buff to swap speed for archer, giving them an opportunity to block them
Swap is terrible idea
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
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
there are ways to make it for interactive to play against. the issue is getting enough of the community to agree to one.
also yeah swap speed would just make them better because then they can hold you off for longer
the goal that im aiming for with that idea in mind
is to make archer easier to engage in melee. if youre able to get an archer to swap to their secondary, you can now safely close that distance without risk of taking an arrow
as for thowables i donāt think many would risk switching as most archers will go for the shot right when your in there face
Thatās true
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
I'm curious about your thoughts on this. It gives counterplay if you spot the archer, and you'd still have to nuke your stamina while approaching an archer, because unlike everyone keeps saying, you cannot reliably counter arrows.
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
The swap wouldnt be needed if they are distanced enough to move out the way, if they are hit without using the dodge thats their fault for dying, taking out something faster will only make archers get away from dying easier on not thrown items alone but melee encounters too
If the archer switches sure itll be off their ranged item but it wont make em fight just run
For stamina drain I was mostly thinking about approaching the archer, since you'd be holding block while covering ground
You pushing a archer already is annoying due to them being back usually and allies around. The point isnt to hurt all archers, instead form counters to perfect archers that obvious have zero to none counters right now. These guys arent gonna just let you push easy
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
Exactly, so it would force them to retreat, they can't just land some free damage then retreat into their team
And for blocking, they still have pressure on you in a team fight. They'd force you to position against them
It will make them either move back while shooting or fall back for 3 seconds
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
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
Which will be likely defendable now easier without shields and not put urself at risk in group fights where ur often blocking more and didge stray arrows
I could standby a downed guy with my sword now and protect him
It just seems unfair
Seems like counterplay, now the pressure of one archer has two people out the fight
Its a counterplay but a very op one for melee players
And then of course the archer with good sight lines can just pick another target
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
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
It woukdnt make sense much to make an arrow as strong as a thrown item on blocking tho. Even if it was a lil logical
One thing certain is thrown items should be buffed against long range classes
My general thought for this is archers having ranged pressure, but not necessarily free damage against even players that are focusing them
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
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
Actually maybe allow countering on short release arrows
As well
They are after all not being shot with much force
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
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
I see vastly more melee mains stacking than Archer but go off king. (hell do you not remember āStackā group from discord?)
You guys have to stop blaming archers for everything. Itās sad.
Also the hilarious ācounter 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 arenāt 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 donāt want to use the tools they already have.
Weak mentality and weaker players
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.
Fellas
you failed to read the point, this wasn't targetted only on archers it was on melee players too
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
I read
āIām tired of Archer mains going attack 24/7ā
Did you not say that?
yes on the archers side, a full balance roster doesn't only effect you guys but us melee players too
You have insulted me countless times in this thread stop clutching your pearls
its on both melee and range
They wonāt ever implement a balance system for this game as they fall back on the ācasualā and light hearted approach.
Yeah cos you act like an ass. But then you also turn around acting like you're the only one getting insulted and then throw out you own. Insult me all you want, I won't act like I'm some victim for it.
Their efforts have only increased the issue of team balance.
The most recent being players sitting in spectator mode.
Which you didnāt address and is a far worse issue.
I didnāt insult you are interjecting yourself and pretending I did something to you.
Stop clutching your pearls I didnāt @ you.
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
thats because there wont be a spectator choice in what im suggesting
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
They wonāt get rid of it.
Because they wonāt fix parties being split up and spectator mode is their fix for their poor coding ability.
Do I need to quote your whole message back at you? You don't need to personally @ someone to insult them. Oh I guess you're just falling back on "well technically" because someone called you out on your shit, again.
Again stop begging for attention from someone you have blocked. Just move along like an adult.
then add queues which divide the balance properly so parties can join a game starting properly, and onyl allow parties of 2-4 in games if there is a party that left
No, I won't ignore your bullshit
halo did it
I will call you out for being a hypocrite
I loved Halo for Big Team Battle. I wish we could get something like that an punished for quitting.
But I doubt they do anything like this 2 years in. We can only hope they release the SDK and we can have custom servers that actually offer great choices of what you can change.
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
As long as they don't go the Loot box route like Halo lol
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)
That is their end goal, They want to nerf the class so much it is not played and removed.
You still have a huge range advantage and no way to read arrow release.
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
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
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
Maybe a suppression point bonus so you don't lose the points from damage
This would 100% kneecap them imo
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.
Archers need to have free damage itās just not viable
You are misunderstanding me then
or*
I don't think that's true
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
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
I think there's plenty of changes that could be tried before doing something so drastic
Take away Archers damage and buff their Melee is not a buff it is removing a class to add another Melee
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
Did I say buff the melee?
thatās just bad positioning
What are you going to do to replace making their Ranged massively weaker?
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
Make that counterable range have more power, possibly
Give them more power but make them 1,000 times easier to negate.
Horrible
But you canāt tell when they shoot cause thereās no animation
Why does Ranged not get to Delay or change their attacks like Melee?
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
These are things people who play Archer know, Not people who are rushing to make them easier to play against.
Xbow can. Bow you can cancel and recharge. Maybe make that faster to allow for more mindgames
if you are at ranger you donāt need to hold it
Things that could be changed
You need to hold it if they have block up or it's useless to fire
pick one of the other 15 targets
Same with leading or waiting on them to clear your team, You have to think ahead to shoot the majority of the time.
Make longbow lower stam drain, faster draw so it becomes the close range option
Longbow is the close range option already
Ya it is
longbow is fine for close range as is
More viable if they can be blocked
Because it has lower stam drain lol
learn how it shoots from just tapping fire rather than holding at all
Man it's wild how little you know about the class you are wanting to nerf into the ground
They just know it hurts when they play 2 hander with 0 awareness and want it taken away
These are suggestions along with the arrow counterplay
I understand they can be frustrating to play against but some suggestions are just doing too much
Arrow Counter play you want is 1 Speed , Easy to read animation and easy to counter
i definitely donāt understand how to aim and shoot
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"
"I don't want to counter them, I want them gone"
I can be 100% aware of the archer but do nothing about it because they have no counterplay for most weapons
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
Nerf aim assist before doing anything else lol
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
Make things up, bud. You love it so much when it happens to you
When did "Most weapons" need to counter something?
Since that's a core concept of melee slashers
All weapons can have their damage countered with a shield.
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
That again would require him to play the class to understand
They were claiming it was Hitscan a few weeks ago
And countering your teammates' swings often leads to a countered arrow as well, considering that's when they are most open to being shot
I dunno who that was, but not me
You all blur together into the same bad talking points.
Come on now š
I mean he just advocated for making the Longbow the close range option. How is that supposed to be make us take him serious.
anyways archers donāt need a buff like the title says
They have free damage, both melee and range openings
This is why discussing things is important, but keeper doesn't discuss, it just wants yes men
You made a suggestion that if you had a basic understanding of the Archer class you would know was already there.
i donāt have him block but iām actively not playing into his little games lol
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
Within the context of the changes I suggested. I think you need an eye exam, everything all blurry, can't read discussions.
free as in you have 12-20 chances to get a shot in
You didn't say to make the Longbow the Close option?
This isn't you?
Highlight those points more with the blockable arrows
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.
Missing all those shots makes you a liability, one that has to resupply constantly and one that isn't helping the frontline at all
If aim assist was nerfed complaints would fall greatly
Still cant read š¤
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
Youāre way to close to the combat if thatās the case and may to have more awareness of the next enemy is coming at you on the flanks
i agree
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
i keep forgetting ppl play other things then crossbow
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
And you get to fire into engaged enemies while they can do nothing to you
All iāll say is that i donāt think there is a way to balance archers besides removing aim assist that will make both parties content
Maybe they break through, maybe another players does, bit in that moment you get unstoppable damage
Aim assist isnāt even a factor with good archer so it wouldnāt solve anything
Or, actually reliably stoppable damage
No not unstoppable damage cause you got teammates in the way
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
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
Similar, but if you have awareness you can counter that player
You can't be aware of every single flank in a dense 64 player match
You're gonna get bonked in the back occasionally
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
Well thats the same against archer if you have awareness then you keep the archers teammates in between you and the acher. Then you aint getting hit.
Which even with blockable arrows you keep that pressure on their positioning.
No pressure if you just can press block from anywhere to negate damage
Its not magic, you still have to track the archer, judge when they'll shoot or have no stamina
almost the same as when you block a melee attack
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
Not with the current unreadable release
Which is the equivalent to a Melee being able to mix up his attacks right?
I can just block melee
If you really just want to just block arrow with parry then why is shield such an issue?
That is the only reason why Shields were ever invented
blocking arrows isnt gonna ever happen and isnt a solution, only thing i can recommend that ever being done is short released arrows where a person just doesn't even attempt to draw the bow
(you walk like a turtle for one
maybe buff that first
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
So you refuse to use it cause your slow? You can play footman and have a faster speed with a shield.
still slow and i donāt like that class
i will suffer from arrows till the day i die
(from arrows)
vanguard for life
Keep archers the way they are just give them 2 seconds in desertion zones
realistically thatās prob the best weāll get
Vanguard for life!
if
Indeed i just dash spam
Probably not tho
Well nerf of the aim assist is the best it will probably be.
if we did tho
too much
I just count my blessings every day because i havenāt delt with an archer main (in game) or not a good one anyways
Are you playing in the FFA tournament?
That excludes reptar!
when is it
nvm then lol i was gonna say i think reptar playing in the tournament
It would address my main issue with them. They seem resistant to making mechanical changes so I just want them to have to commit to fights they started
You in the fighting pit discord?
i was in the thunder dome one like a year ago but it seemed to die
but no
Let active parry block arrows . If im fighting a real player, the bottom feeding archer can wait til we finish š¤
Ill message you it. Rabbit made it for all FFA people.
Thatās all we ever want is for them to answer to there sins
sounds good
there has more than likely been against one. the thing about archers is that we tend to spread the pressure and go for a lot of cleanup kills or land enough damage to get credit for the elim
i often loose arrows on people coming back from spawn (since they usually walk in a straight kind and arent prepared to get hit)
another not asking for much change
When i played archer i never go for full health people i just go after weak ones myself. Thats how i racked up kills is pretty much stealing them lol
I usually do pretty in a public TO setting so youād think they go after me more but again you can smell low knights with crossy
I agreed to that in other threads that it should be allowed
i played crossy and it was like i could smell them it was weird
iāve accidentally countered a arrow when getting 1v3 and gave me active parry which was cool
I sent you the link too just go to the tournament section and select interested to particpate. We doing it this weekend Saturday EST 8:30 PM to 10:30PM. Right now winner gets $75 but Rabbit said we might actually get more for prize winner.
is there archer mains on NA east? In TO
That's the thing, how many times have you countered an arrow where it was not accidental
A lot i love countering arrows its fun lol
i can counter them in a duel server just not when there 40m away and iām in 1vx
Yes
Most times itās just a random archer for me
I too enjoy countering arrows at the archer counter carnival minigame where we both stand still with no outside interference
appreciate it
Also I brought a shield
I do it mid combat lol
ābring a shield and become a parry godā
I need no shields to kill dem archers!
Iām hot topic thereās too many people that want my booty too let me get some revenge
Not always easy to main a class with a 6 person limit
Oh you kidding me i get people that jump me every match to prevent me from winnig lol
Archer is a hard class they should get commended more
True
I commend all archers especially in FFA cause the ones in FFA get the worst experience lol
but in TO for me i have to almost sweat to get them
Thereās been occasions where iāve been team on:^0
but the ones that donāt team, they. should prob get commended in FFA
Hmm? Not what I was saying
If your good at melee and can aim, archer should not be allowed in public TO
You just can't really main a class when it's constantly full on the limit unless you keep server hopping
That kinda sucks
for you
I play every class, not a big deal to me
iād 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
ambusher
sometimes if the archers are soo bad i want to change to archer
or if my active parry just isnāt working
Man, you really do just say this to everyone that you don't like, huh?
You must say this a lot, cause you don't seem to get along with literally any players.
Take your meds
Why am I taking meds? Haha.
You're the one suffering from schizophrenia or some form of psychosis.
Projection
I'm starting to think you've just been joking this whole time and this is all an elaborate character you've been playing
But if you were that good of an actor, id recommend pursuing a professional career.
Cool man, always nice to hear your personal insults.
Its like he forgot he insulted you two posts previous š
nothing keeper says in an insult, but everything everyone else says is
dont forget that anyone that disagrees with his proposed archer buffs is a "archer-hate"or a "melee main"
Imagine blocking someone and then spamming their post and talking about them.
You boys need to a get a hobby besides fishing for attention.
Neither was an insult
Both are accurate.
But as always you misrepresent my words in your rush to feel like you contributed something.
Imagine š
Chins up guys, maybe your day will get better.
You right š
Implying someone is mentally ill isn't very nice Mr Keeper
Just don't try to take the high ground if you're gonna say things like that!
Go up to people on the street and tell them to take their meds. Its not even an insult, so they shouldnt punch you in the face
keepr moment
Common Keeper L
Lol you miss the part where he literally said that? I also never said he was mentally Ill. I said to take his meds, that interpretation is on you.
Common misrepresentation of my words
See here
Always happens with archer discussions
I don't agree with any personal insults, I know Ziggy does it too and I know you 2 have a history lol
You not going to call him out for literally calling me mentally Ill?
He doesn't feign innocence and play the victim like you're doing here
^
What does telling people to "Take their meds" imply to you? That he has heartburn or what?
Quote where I called him mentally Ill
Dude, saying take your meds is implying someone is mentally ill
Itās open ended bud, thatās up to you to fill in. Itās clear what you all think of him now.
Ugh...
wow.
Take his meds for what then? Just be honest
Clarify
my 6 and 8 year old nephews fight that way
No idea, Iām not his Dr, he just seems like he needs sleep.
dont even humor this person theyre obviously mired in self delusion and expect us to be right with them
Because any situation where he is wrong must be avoided by his psyche at all costs
Right I do enjoy you going after me for saying ātake your medsā and not him for literally using mental health as an insult
Peak hypocrisy
he sucks too, you suck as well
are you happy? you both suck and act like children
You didnāt call him out for it either and I clarified
He didnt have to clarify š We know he was insulting you.
tbf, i guess its likely you are a child, so that may be unfair of me to say
you trying to weasel your way out of that is whats annoying people
^
I didnāt say what you claimed so I canāt weasel out of it
You are trying to add context for me to defend
Weird that you all went to that though. Speaks volumes
Raylan Givens : You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.
Nice one man, I hope it makes you feel better also trying to personally insult me.
take your meds
Thanks man, need some Vitamin C.
probably get some vitamin D too, yours looks weak af
Oh a attempted insult on my looks? How sad
The only time in internet history where "Take your meds" was meant to be compassionate. He just meant vitamins and wanted him to get a proper night's sleep. We are so terrible. 
which vitamins do you draw the line at
Making up something doesnāt make it true. Maybe check out /r/shortstories with that talent
^ correct, which is exactly why we knew: Keeper (B2B Appeal Champ)
OP
ā Today at 3:42 PM
No idea, Iām not his Dr, he just seems like he needs sleep. was bullshit
Weird more false claims about me? How predictable /yawn
you should watch the video i linked, it describes you pretty much dead on
That binkie emote is hilarious lol
I donāt click on links from people who try to insult me, but good on you for sharing.
take your meds
Thanks man , always nice to have a reminder
You don't even need to watch it, the title is enough
Basically if you are constantly having issues with everyone you come across, you may be the issue
ššš Anyone not take their meds today? Concerned Internet Citizen here.
My copium levels are dangerously low
mines a suppository and im still working up the courage to take it
Iām sorry there are so many people who blocked me that follow me to insult me.
I didnāt tag them to come here did I ? They showed up begging
take your meds
Good one, even better the 3rd time!
good what?
worm tactics
Comment bud
I know you can do it. Think of your health. Take your meds.
will you help me
Well itās clear you guys are just here to beg for attention and insult me, god speed Iām off to be productive. Have a good one.
take your meds
Ask keeper, hes who inspired me to check people's wellness
You'll be back, bring proof next time
he's gonna go kick children around to feel good
This is actually more aggravating than being directly insulted
Like just own it and full send it pls
I just got new shoes. I dont even need my meds today š'
šŖ±
Can we get air jordan cosmetics?
I'm an archer abuser and even I can't get along with keeper š
The way he acts has nothing to with being an archer main. I believe he just has personal issues he hasnāt dealt with and lacks communication skills
natural selection should hurry up with you
if you took it an insult, its because you interpreted it that way...
Thanks this is the sweetest thing anyone has said to me in here, hoping someone passes their genes on is super weird. But thank you!
oh i see. you interpreted it in a way that was impossible
so i do have a question. how does it feel to be the most universally disliked person on the chiv2 discord?
Iām still beaming from your compliment, thanks man. I hope you have a blessed day and thanks for the kind words.
If you meant something else please clarify. I doubt you meant something else though, you are a fan and wished me the best.
Iām so lucky to have you.
youre right. you ARE LUCKY to have me. and the rest of us are unlucky that out of all the sperm, you were the fastest swimmer.
Everyone you talk to is the fastest one bud. Thanks again for that compliment.
most people choose a less transparent coping mechanism
some people just pretend on the internet because its the only place they have power
Meeting a death threat with kindness isnāt coping, itās deescalating a person looking for attention with extreme comments.
Itās a pretty common technique.
that isnt a threat actually, despite how much you want it to be
You are right he meant it in the way I said.
you thinking that is a death threat is a victim complex
so.. have you taken your meds for your disorders?
Thanks fan.
i realize that you didnt like it, but that doesnt make it definable as a threat
you are 100% going to die. thats a fact.
Are you pretending I have disorders as a way to insult me?
Thats pretty sad using a disability as an insult.
Yes wishing natural selection would hurry up with someone in no way could be seen as wishing they would die.
/yawn
wishing somebody dies and making a threat isnt the same thing
im not pretending, im pointing out.
superiority complex
victim complex
and thats just the OBVIOUS ones.
Archer on archer violence, this is truly an experience
thats exactly my point
You donāt have to have insomnia to not get enough sleep
lol you fucking suck honestly
this is why people speak to you and mention natural selection
Where did you get your degree? Can you link your practice? Also a big no no in the medical community is diagnosing people like you are trying to do.
this is a reflection of you
Then why donāt you leave?
trying to see if you break
unlike you, i have no qualms about owning who i am or what i am
Lol you want attention is all.
idgaf if every single person here blocked me, youd still be whiny, and people would still be hoping natural selection got to you based on the way you talk to them
ah, you see. you dont have to be a mechanic to tell if a car was wrecked... when the damage hasnt been repaired
the same with you, you dont have to an expert to see the obvious
I have been nice here, you are confusing me and the people trying to attack me with personal insults and death threats.
nobody has threatened you.
Oh we are still pretending got it
quote / paste the alleged threat that was made
shh shh. keeper has to have something to tell his therapist about why his life is so bad
I am going to head out guys, I hope you brush up on your manners and less on the threats and personal insults.
Go tell your parents you love them!
