Reverting to old archery system
How hard would this be to do?
Get rid of spell pierce and the fact that archery is magic damage. Get rid of all the shots and make it so if you want dot procs you use galvnornes. Snare? Remorseless. Legendary damage? Leggie bows!
All i want is a few shots (std, rapid,long shotc crit and volley) a quiver and arrows.
It was so simple and way more appealing than the new system. Make archery great again!

i want to go back to the original archery system. the one that if you were higher on a wall you shot farther.
The changes made to archery over the last few years are not good. I also want Ranger Desperate Bowman back.
But sorry - no full slam for Scouts. That change pre-dates the archery makeover.

the new system blows. The older system without all the specials shots was decent. They made the game so everyone uses the same bow and everyone archery is magic and is capped at 52 bow. The only reason the new archery system is needed on live is because they buffed every class out of the ass so you almost need the new system. the more i play the old system the more i hate that i shoot spells on live. its a joke
The new archery system was introduced over 10 years ago. Mythic wanted archers to actually spec in Archery since the old system didn't merit any bonus for high Archery specs. While the old system may work for private DAoC, I strongly doubt it'll work on Live. /shrug

No we are getting eras confused here. Archers had PD in the original archery system (like 10+ years ago). PD was taken away and the "new" archery system created. Which was perfect imo. Then the BS archery system was introduced. I was shocked when I re-subbed last summer to find I had remedy and PB and power shot were on cool downs.

i feel so old lol
PB was like that for years. If that was the core issue they could have just changed PB, rather than the drastic overhaul. Anyway, if you think the changes were needed - we can agree to disagree.
Loved being able to knock my own arrows, choose when to release said arrow. The whole having to time a shot depending on what cast speed it was changed the archers across the board. We were given some caster/archer type spells, and given timers on higher damage shots. Completely changed the way archers were ment to be in this game. Then when it changed we were stuck fumbling around with the new meta of archers, then they nerfed every r5 on them till most didn’t even want to play one.
At this point I wouldn’t care if they changed it back or left it, but keeping the archers the way they are now keeps me away from playing mine.

Agreed. The ability to nock an arrow and then cycle between targets was more realistic. I'm enjoying it...

Yep! They do have other things to worry about like hib euro primetime with 110 Hibs on when it used to be 400-500 but lets keep adding masks to the game and revamp catacombs but then again i would be shocked if Broadsword reverted back to any old systems. It would not be very BS like. Even when i asked for years to revert CS from called shots (giant failure) back to the old style chains with abs debuffs. What do they do? Bring back abs debuffs but make every style different. When BS screws up they always never revert back to how it was..its always different. For example look at ML10 pet procing weapons. they put in Pet stances (horrible idea) and these classes were using pet weapons with pet stances. it was crazy bso they nerf ml10 wepaons which were unchanged mostly since TOA. then they axe pet stances but low and behold..ml10 weapons still have essence damage.
