Discussion about archery, and sniping people

[FearTheAmish]

People shouldn't be able to afk in peace. This leads to that the grand majority of people who you actually see are not afk. This way, we avoid having a world where people see afk people all the time, which breaks the "MMO" feeling.

do you even play hnh? Because what your saying is idiotic.

Finally, in real life archers will not shoot straight, but in angle to hit targets behind a wall.

Yes in mass flights because the walls are higher then people so how could the person even know if someone was behind the wall, so you have to release alot of arrows to even hope to hit someone. Also whats different from them being AFK in a house or AFK in the open? My little settlement had times when i would walk into the house and there were 3 people shoved in every nook and crany afk....

Yes, apparently, following from http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/about is wrong: Haven & Hearth is a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game)

Roleplaying and RPG are two different things.

This is an MMO that was created in order to simulate the danger of wilderness life.
You should not be able to safely AFK outside even inside your palisade. This reduces the "Dangerous" feel of the game and makes it more carebeary.
Is it really so hard to AFK inside a house?

Oh and I dislike the whole "Archery can't kill people" thing. Archers are already in need of a buff, and a nerf of this size would completely ruin the tactic.

I think Jackard already answered this point pretty well. "lets ignore this shitty mechanic because"

You don't know what your talking about, it isn't a nerf, fool.

It's a nerf if you can't kill stupid AFKers in a palisade, without being a palibasher.

I've decided from this point on, i won't even try arguing sense to anyone without a shred of intelligence, because no matter what i say, no matter how foolish your response is, you'll still argue it.

Archers are worthless in battles.
The only thing they were useful at is sniping people over walls.
Why take this from them? Q_Q

Stop this. "UR FUKEN RETARDED I WONT EVEN TRY" isn't an argument.
And yes, this is very much a nerf. An archer literally not being able to kill someone would completely destroy archery as a valid tactic, as the whole point of combat is to, you know, kill someone. Archers are pretty much close to worthless now as steel plates will stop the best of arrows, so I think it would improve the game if archers were to receive some kind of buff (IE, armor penetrating arrows) instead of being nerfed into obsolescence by becoming objectively worthless in a combat situation.

I am completely okay with making "fog of war" an effect of walls. That would be actually a solution I am happy with, so that I don't have to see the people .
