Patch 2.6

If you have diamond armor and take off your boots you can run as fast I heard.

After messing around with this...

Archery buff + Armor nerf = Ranger may be OP. Understandably, archery was never even balanced, but it was always a useful backup skill. Now, given the current set up, it will always dictate fights, and melee has dropped horribly.

(Apparently my friend even said Headshots can one shot at level 10~)

Wearing no armor = One shot by 100 Archery

Wearing leather or chainmail = Two to three shot by 100 Archery, so you get sniped before any combat is initiated

Wearing iron or diamond = Too slow to fight at all. You get kited so easily as leather+ dart around you firing arrows as you can do little to nothing...

Not only is it annoying and reduces the legitimacy of roleplayed armor, but some of this is plain unrealistic. Literally crawling in armor? Modern day soldiers are trained to fight with 40-80 pounds of ammo and weaponry on them, hanging from the pockets literally weighing them down. At least medieval body armors are balanced around the body so the weight isn't focused on the legs. Being out-WALKED by someone is a bit ridiculous, trained soldiers are soldiers.

I think it would have been much better to either

a) adjust the slowing down of the speed to one's weapon skills, so that a great warrior who has trained in combat can match the speed of a normal person

B) have it so wearing armor depletes the hunger bar exponentially fast. Wearing it outside of combat will make you reach three hunger VERY quickly and you will be wasting tons of stamina and food trying to keep it on.

I think it needs some fine tuning or else we will face some problems. Hopefully I'm missing something here.

Yeah....It's rather easy to exploit.

What if you take an arrow to the knee? Q_Q

You lose your adventuring days and become a Gate guard For Oren~

Edit: How... Ursolon... how.. I know you're an FM.. but I clicked submit and yours was ahead of mine..... how... this..... I.... Time travel ninja?

Another thing, the slow debuff causes your FoV to be zoomed in...

EDIT: Alkenaar, reveal the spoiler for the truth.

I love this. I was so happy ater reading this. Less PGers now.

[0000 175]

Just realized, I have a question: Does the armor have a weight when you are carrying it in your inventory? Because it should. Then you could just take armor off and suddenly move a lot faster.. It would make for an interesting idea where you can't carry a load of heavy things at once.

-Snip-

Also going to note that at 0 archery, a BODY SHOT can kill someone without armor. Headshots can probably take out the leather-clad....

Melee weapons are kinda useless if a body shot can just drop someone. :/

Anyone can take down anyone. The archery skill is kinda pointless since at a certain point the archery skill plateus, and beyond 50.

[Kote (luigimario77) 4]

I tried shooting an arrow. The sound and pull back was there but no arrow fired, yet it ate up an arrow of mine.

[Dash_Rogers 130]

one down fall.

-scratch that I must have glitched into the dirt or something-

And If you do not wear a helmet with your armor you are not effected by slowness which sucks because people are obviously going to abuse that part of the plugin.

Arrows head shot.

This is getting balanced! Great job. By the way, isn't the chainmail armor too easy to craft?

[Peter Chivay 2494]

Alright, after reviewing the armor plug-in a bit... is there anyway we can jerk up the speed just a tad?

Diamond and iron go about the same speed, which if extremely slow even for armor wearing. I was thinking more on the lines of, armor preventing people from sprinting and only lowering their running prowess a tad.

If we could make it so that the heavy armors preventing sprinting, that would really be great. But still, the plug-in is a great concept and after some tweaking, can really add to the immersion of the server.

We rangers are now the most effective fighting force in Asulon. Lethal arrows, leather armor, little fall damage and no slow down at all. You had better watch out.

[KoTo 610]

So now archery is OP?
