Increase the run speed for Archer

[bright gust]

Every time a sword/axe meathead spots me and runs after me, I always get caught turning tail like a coward and suddenly I get a fatass blade in the back of my head, but I’m wearing the least amount of armor on the battlefield and only armed with some sticks, a bigger curved stick, and a string. Heaviest thing on me is what’s below the waist, but that’s besides the point. Increase the sprint speed for archer so I can be even more annoying while avoiding getting sprint attacked in the back of the neck

[drowsy horizon]

Only skirmisher should get a little more run speed

[bright gust]

How? Legit they’re the most unarmored in the game it makes no sense that a knight or footman can catch up to them

[drowsy horizon]

No leg days

[steady marlin]

Difference is they have momentum and are already at full sprint while you're just starting to turn tail

[bright gust]

Im far away from them

[steady marlin]

Then you should be in a position where you can run away to a teammate

Start running away sooner

[bright gust]

Most of them don’t care

[steady marlin]

Idk man just seems like a positioning issue

[bright gust]

There’s literally been times I was 50 yards away from someone and they still catch up

[vocal flicker]

Based

[small quarry]

archers are pretty fast as is, zig zag when you run away because there is a catch up mechanic for enemies following closely behind you

[spare radish]

chase mechanic is a thing plus why shouldn’t they get punished for being tunnel visioned without any spatial awareness

[keen condor]

You should just duel them if you keep getting chased down. A lot of ppl see archers as free kills so when they see you ready to throw hands, they usually back off

[young terrace]

lol

[bright gust]

I don’t think you understand at all lmao

[bright gust]

How close are we talking? Because I got hawked down like DK Metcalf from 30+ yards away

[small quarry]

idk exactly but I'd say something like, a spear or two's length away. The effect triggers when someone is running away and you are directly looking at their back while chasing them.

[spare radish]

no, i don’t understand. tell me again how you can’t run away from your problems when there is a mechanic stopping you from doing just that

[bright gust]

You don’t understand at all, because I definitely made it clear the problem is during when you’re running, not me complaining I can’t see someone charging me, read lol

[spare radish]

ok well even if im 50 yards away i will catch up eventually

[bright gust]

Yea exactly that’s a problem

Chase mechanic should be activated on someone half the map away

[desert plover]

Archer speed is fine. They get good movement speed and can outrun knights.

[drowsy horizon]

You right what Skirmisher needs is more stamina

[bright gust]

Never seen it from my pov it’s the exact opposite

[desert plover]

Well takes a moment to get up to sprinting speed which most likely the knight already has that going which is why. If they both ran at the same time, then archer would be running laps around knight

[bright gust]

That’s literally what I’ve done, I see someone coming from half a block away and I turn tail and run and they still catch up regardless of both of us going full speed

[desert plover]

If its a Vanguard then yeah they would catch you cause they have the highest speed in the game.

[bright gust]

No, it was a bigass knight with a fatass shield

[desert plover]

Then you werent at full sprinting speed then idk what to tell you

[bright gust]

How tf you gon tell me when I was running full speed 💀

Bro thinks he was there

[desert plover]

I was there in spirit

Chase mechanic

[steady marlin]

why are you running anyway just stand your ground

[candid nova]

The stamina and speed for archers is pitiful given they're as fighting fit as the other soldiers but are given the lightest armor.

[bright gust]

And then instantly die, dumbest comment I’ve seen all day

[desert plover]

Honestly im a man who stands my ground. So i agree with him, dont run and bash that knights fucking face in lol

[spare radish]

but i am “weak” archer

[desert plover]

Yup weakest stats in the game

[spare radish]

should be by your teammates

[spare radish]

expect they have range

[desert plover]

But powerful in the right hands

[spare radish]

Keeper has proven archer potential

[steady marlin]

the crossbow man axe can mess people up

[spare radish]

any else is a straight skill issue.

[desert plover]

Technically with the throwing mechanic in place, everyone has range but Archer has better further range lol

[spare radish]

and throwing can be block but ya

if someone hits me with a jav, kudos

[bright gust]

I don’t care what anyone says, an Archer in melee combat with anyone who isn’t an archer is severely disadvantaged

Man bro people in this community are something else

[keen condor]

That doesn’t mean you should just run away from every fight. If you become good enough at duels, you can make light work of anyone. Or you can just stall and wait for a teammate to save you

[spare radish]

This is the way, especially if you want to make the melee player look dumb

[bright gust]

So what are you gonna do when 3+ pull up?

[keen condor]

Why are you so out of position that 3 enemies are trying to throw hands?

And to answer your question, I would fight since I’m confident in duels but that’s just me

[bright gust]

Out of place isnt the right term to use it lmao
