    You could implement all this ridiculous stuff...

    ... or you could just buff Archers' health to 3 hearts.

    I didn't necessarily suggest this just as a way to buff archers. I think it would probably be a more fun mechanic than just changing their health.

    Also I understand that what I wrote is really big, and a lot of it is maybe a little ridiculous. That's why I put that line at the beginning - Perhaps some of the suggestion is valuable but the rest is just nonsense. If every last thing I suggested was put in it would probably be a huge mess.

    They're Clown-Monkey-Grandmas, not Clown-Monkey-Ninja-Grandmas. Plus the point of this is to give the archer a way to hold his own, at least until he can escape, in close combat. A shuriken wouldn't help too much in close combats. Now, if you Spartan kick a knight into a trap, then you can get away not only with your life, but the best campfire story ever. If you throw a shuriken into a knight's shoulder, he'll just shrug and swat you like the fly you are.

    I fail so see how that reply has anything to do with what I just said.
     
  8. i thought we were exchanging ideas for unnecessary buffs that would overlap with already existing mechanics

    Unnecessary. I see that word a lot in this part of the forum. What constitutes "necessary"? Are there really things that are NEEDED in the game, and should a suggestion not be considered just because it's "unnecessary"?

    I suggested this because I thought it would be a fun addition, not just because archers need a buff.

    We need the ability to kick, mostly because that would be hilarious and how can a human being use both of his legs to walk and run (up walls), but not use them to kick a metal-clad menace in the face? It's the new facepalm! The facekick!

    "Fun" Suggestions are to be made in the Mod Request Section.

    Boring balance suggestions are to be made here.

    Such un-funness (yea that's a word). Look at it this way: We're suggesting a way to balance King Arthur's Gold so that it's more enjoyable by all. Swinging on a rope hoping and praying you don't swing too close to a knight only to have a bomb thrown at your and kill you isn't very enjoyable. Swinging on a rope then kicking a guy's teeth into his spleen is flippin' enjoyable and hilarious!

    I don't think it's that hard to realize that when I suggested giving Archers another heart to boost their survivability it wasn't a joke.

    Also, If you're going make three posts that don't even come close to contributing to the thread...
    ... you really shouldn't even bother posting.

    Jokes are fine by me, but that came pretty close to just making fun of the idea, which wasn't very nice. :oops:

    But at least he finally made a point in his last one.

    But if the archers get a buff every knight is going to complain that they lost a battle against an archer.

    Considering how completely and utterly ridiculous this idea is, I am just laughing at the fact people are even taking it serious.

    And the fact that you even bring up giving archers another heart make me laugh even harder.

    Just be happy people haven't jumped on this thread and torn it apart. Seriously, two people not taking it serious and posting jokes is nothing.

    I don't see why that is. Like I said before, it was a perfectly legitimate suggestion, and not nearly as far-fetched as some of the ideas originally proposed in this thread.

    You used the phrase "take it serious," (twice) which is not proper grammar. I suggest using "take it seriously" instead.

    Also, in the part of your post that I quoted, you said "the fact... make me laugh even harder," which is also wrong. Corrected it would be, "the fact... makes me laugh even harder." You could also use the past tense: "the fact... made me laugh even harder."

    I apologize if you are still insulted even after reading the warning. It has been a long day of repeated grammar abuses, and I felt a powerful need to make corrections.

    Is it really that ridiculous? I'd prefer if you gave me an actual criticism or two instead of dismissing it like that.

    And giving a heart to archers is pretty tame too in my opinion. Honestly, how much can that change? They'll still get killed pretty easily by bombs and just about everything in general, but it would be a tad less frustrating getting killed by knights. And maybe once in a while an archer will get away with that extra heart. So what?
    (I don't really want this change because then fire arrows won't be as fun to use)

    Like I said, jokes are welcome, and I'd be perfectly happy if you guys tore it apart with actual reasons, which some people actually have been doing. It seems semi-sensible through my eyes, but clearly not through very many others'. I've tried showing you why it makes sense to me, care to help everyone else show me what's wrong with it? If not, that's fine as well. But please note, what's apparently obvious to you might not be as obvious to others.
