A discussion on archer

I don't see how someone calling you a "chicken" or "scaredycat" is threatening or verbally attacking but ok.

 

I mean we can change the whole kit entirely if needed. But honestly I think archer needs a buff if anything.

 

Not saying you wrong, but those words aren't the words that I think she was called. She said "for forum rule purposes" so I think she just isn't really saying the words on the thread. She might have been called very offensive names to her, and she can't post it on the forums. Might be wrong though.

 

Give the bow power IV and the archer speed 2! Muahahaha. Unkillable!
Archer is only looked down on cause players just run and bow spam. The running isn't an issue to me, I could care less. It's done by any class. The bow spamming is annoying. Unless you do that, I have no issue with you being archer

 

The way you described your play style will get you flamed almost instantly if you do it to certain players. People hate being bow spammed, but generally don't complain about Archer. Recently, I actually been getting asked what to do with the Archer kit. I have already suggested an Archer buff in an old thread, but I think we should give it an iron sword to give it more melee power. Can be annoying to fight full on iron armor classes with their sharpness 2 diamond swords. :V Just play it, and if you hit someone with 3 pulled back (or near fully pulled back) the person will die. A full charged bow does 4-5 hearts if shot right, and charged right. My suggestion :V https://www.brawl.com/threads/65663/

 

Personally I think archer is ok, if its used in the right hands its unkillable.

 

honestly archer should get speed 2 like it was last map

 

Turn your chat off, problem solved.

People aren't going to change so you're going to have to figure out your own ways of dealing with it

 

No no feather I get your point and it's 100% right, but there is no way we can change how these people will react. Every kit server that has an Archer class has this same problem. You're best bet is just blocking them out and having fun

 

Archer does need a rework. It's really irritating to have someone F5, spam, run and continue.
However, if someone goes onto a high place and snipes, that's fine imo.

 

I think the archer kit is only problematic when players use it as a vehicle to annoy others. Part of the frustration of it is that it's very easy to find a player they dislike and just shoot/run away. This happens to me all the time.

The fact that there's relatively little a melee kit can do against a fleeing archer is likely why KitBrawl players felt angry at you. After all, they're chasing you, only to get knocked back by an arrow to the face and some considerable damage. Since you're an above-average archer, the best course of action for a melee kit user is probably just to avoid you/gang up on you with friends.

The way I see it, this is part of Minecraft PvP and how the FFA arena works. Players shouldn't be angry at you for using the archer kit effectively, nor do I think there's much to be done about it.

 

Honestly archer wouldnt be a big problem if the map wasnt ****ty.

I remember on the old map chasing archers wasnt a big deal. I chased them to the outer area, and knocked them into the wall, and catching up only to have them stuck on the wall.

Howdy, I have read your post.
Now, I do personally hate people who bow, then run, then bow, then run, then somehow kill us.
Yes, I think a lot of people hate that action as well as us.
But, you see, I don't believe that the archer kit should be "removed".
Most people play the kit well.

Important!
I think a lot of people use the "bow spam" card way to often.
The use of archer, is to use the one, the only, bow.
EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, say someone is bow spamming when they're full charging.
I think this is the case with this post.
Just in general, I feel like this is not a "suggestion".
I feel like this is more of a hate post.
I don't think the Staff will remove a very fun kit.
If you don't like the way people play, don't play here.
This is not to be mean, but it's true.
Don't complain about bowing, everyone does it.

I don't agree with this post.
Sorry.

Actually Feather has a point, but clearly it won't be getting much through. Mostly because we don't plan on removing it, but making a few minor changes to be able to make gameplay more enjoyable for the players.
