    Archer mode ?

    it would be fun if we can play as an archer

    I dont see how it would work with the combat system. Parrying arrows with swords would be unrealistic as hell, and archers would be OP if only characters with shields could block them.

    Besides, why play archer with melee combat this badass?

    Doesn't fit the game. Would not like it to be added/readded. It was removed earlier in the development process, and I don't think it should be readded.

    its a good thought but as others said it would be op and wouldn't go with the game

  5. #5
    hell no, if theres archers in this game im not gonna buy it

    I think minion archers would be a better idea. It would also add a new strategy to the game of hunting/protecting the archers to give you an advantage on the field.

    I definitely do not want any playable ranged classes in this game, its not what this game is about and it wouldnt fit within the playstyle of all currently revealed classes.

    player archers would ruin this game imo

    Thought the same. I was thinking about an objective on top of walls, if you have it archers will spawn on it shooting on the other objectives right down walls, a pain in the *** taking that with lots of arrows raining from the sky

    Exactly my thought!

    I'd be fine with some of the classes having a throwable ability like a javelin/throwing axe/throwing dart as one of their abilities.

    One at a time, and with a recharge timer like the rest of the abilities/bombs.

    As for a straight up archer style, I'd vote no FOR NOW. We have to see how the game changes as maps and classes come out.
