Hello LoD!

Hail sirs.

I'm not sure we'll be nerfing Archery, but I do believe we can do the rest of that for you. Your order is coming right up.

Feel free to start an Archery poll on the forum here if you feel strongly about instahit and bows.

I just want an uncorrupt staff and a reliable server with a community. I make the rest fun for myself.

So your making the archery the way you guys prefer it rather than how it used to be? The archery wasn't right last IPY imo and was OP. It was way to fast last IPY. There should be a differnce in xbow vs reg bow speed. Look forward to testing first to see how it is.

Just keep in mind, I think the idea is that Az is creating his vision of a UO server, not a completely era accurate UO shard. There's a lot of features that arn't the way it used to be. Paladins, Kings, Detectives, Boats with cannons. . .

Absolutely. Era accuracy isn't the highest priority on my list. Sorry. :(

If you'll remember, archery *really* sucked in '99. Nobody used it. With instahit, that's totally different.

However, there is a change. Archery's accuracy level decreases the further you are from your target.

[Jay]

hmm interesting... How drastic is the drop/tile range?

[Az]

Not exceptionally.

I don't really think a travel time for bolts and arrows is unfair? especially if it was slightly faster then a player can move over a distance... still give incentive to use archery but stops it from being insta-hit.

If I remember correctly, archery was nerfed so badly on OSI because an archer had to wait an entire weapon reload time before damaging the opponent, where as swords and the like would DAMAGE then WAIT after being equipped.... with archery it was WAIT then DAMAGE. However - most successful PvPers on IPY one still used swords. The accuracy nerf may be enough to cut the number of archers down significantly if it kicks in any closer then 5 squares or so.
