v1.026

Thank you Jeff. Extra rollover is great, and i had just barely upgraded to a lvl 9 archery set. It must be Christmas in July.

wouldnt this create a problem for those who where using the lvl 9 set and had it upgraded to lvl 11 that cant use the lvl 11 set because they dont have the required skill

we can still use it. I had a lvl 9 archery set. Just dont unequip it until you have the right skill for it.

ohh so if it was equipped there is no loss but your equipment became a little better

exactly.

Rangers/Archers.. overpowered I tell you.

/agree

Bow and arrow does too much damage.

I can see how archery is meant to be the highest DPS in the game, but there's no tradeoff for it. They don't have lower defense and their gem abilities aren't any more limited than a regular melee's. And once Kiting is implemented, they'll be able to avoid melee damage altogether sometimes. So yeah, seems fishy. I would expect that to balance Kiting, bow users would have to suffer a large AC penalty.

With as many diverse routes of advancement that exist in the game, any one route that is almost guaranteed a win in PvP is fishy, too. And right now that route is archery.

Good rollover, Im really happy with that decision

Hmm....my alt(which had quite a bit of cash before spending it on a lvl 8 suiting set and lvl *9* suiting body) seemed to be have quietly upgraded.....meh, it was a wizard, and rangers/archers are having to spend more RT to get more cash to buy a good bow and arrow(bacterial bow and arrow and quiver set is extremely expensive....for a lvl 6 ranger >_>). So it's all balanced, people get free equipment uppies, and if i get a lvl 9 archery bow, i'll know it's a epic =)

The price of bow and arrow do not balance its power, in my opinion. They are still readily available from shops and anyone doing a decent amount of fighting can afford them, plus their power is so great you can still fight effectively creatures that are over your level, allowing you to use each set for a much longer period effectively, allowing you to easily farm up the gold needed for the next set.

I have yet to see an archer hurting because he couldn't afford his next set.

On the other hand, archers can easily defeat other classes in PvP even if they are a couple levels (or more) above them.

Something's fishy.

its called permadeath, Som.

played RWK? archers are way more powerful on there too. get the agi and cnt to a certain point, and they are untouchable. allocate a little to Ntl, and they can counter cast when they dont counter with weaps. the perfect dueling class.
