Bring back archer making arrow from trees

Face it, archers run out of arrows way too quickly.
agree? disagree?

 

>military supplies

If people would build them often enough instead of their 'fancy-pants' water ammo/bomb ammo/countless other siege utilities/equipment shops, then you would have enough arrows.

 

This is the kind of thinking that I find not right.
If knights can attack infinitely, why can't archers be able too? Right from the start an archer can do a maximum of 30 hearts of damage and accuracy is usually low, and knights can still shield arrows making it even lower. If an archer runs out of ammo the archer has to restock and that means you have to go back to the nearest hall with supplies, where a knight can continue to press.

I feel to be successful as an archer, you have to be either an opportunist or be lucky.

it's not that bad.
archers need trees to make arrows
builders need logs for wood

 

Good luck finding enough trees to support you. Seeds get destroyed all the time and builders farm that shit.

 

Spawn with 30, pickup possible 60 more. Easiest 90 to spam. Horrible.

 

If you're going to complain about Archer SPAM, you ought to go argue with the devs to remove the triple shot.

'Til then, I'm all for the idea of Archers having easier access to arrows. It really sucks when teammates hog them and you're left with only 30 (which get used up real quick with the changes made to Archer recently).

 

Dealing with 1-2 archers using legolas shot really isn't that hard if you have bombs / can get in range. It starts turning into a complete annoyance if archers could get around 90 archers that quickly.

Now imagine playing against 3+ archers on a tower constantly spamming that much arrows with little effort. Or imagine if the other team all switches to archer.

 

They can't do anything against even 1 Knight as long as he shields. He'll suffer some knockback, yeah, but other than that, nothing.

And if an entire team switched to Archer in the current build the same thing could still occur. You don't need to have 90 arrows to spam. 30 arrows = 10 triple shots, and even if a mil-supplies shop doesn't make arrows fast enough to support the entire team, they can just suicide and get another 30 arrows.

 

You /do/ know that the new legolas shot can break shields if you're close enough?

 

Yes, I know that. But if you get that close, the Knight's probably gonna whip a bomb out and blow your face off.

Also, if the entire team went defensive as Archers they would never win. So they make up for their insane spam by being completely ineffectual. :P

 

If they don't cook their bombs you can always throw it back and blow their faces off. You get bonus points looking like a badass whilst doing so.

 

Shields block enemy bombs, if anything, you'd be saving the knight from the arrow spam.

To put it bluntly, I don't like the combination of "Multi Shot" AND "Close Range Stun".

I still remember what pre B866 [~B840] archers were, and I can tell you, they did major damage even if it wasn't guaranteed like that, and the close-range stun would've just made it so they could actually get away from the knights since the stuns don't last long enough to charge a .5 arrow, back in the day.
And I say this is par for the course, because in Knight-Knight combat, no hit is guaranteed, even a double slash, it's a matter of shielding, and it isn't so hard.
