People only hate arrows spammers when they are the ones being hit ;)

I wouldn't care about it If it wasn't pretty much boosting kills.They also make it 10x harder to take mod.  

I don't know how graal is scripted but I can see you do not understand the situation, so I will try to explain: arrow hit have priority on sword hit. Arrow spammers always get the 0.5.

Try to face one to deflect the arrow you receive another arrow in your butt.  

Remove orbs, put up walls. I agree to that, not raise prices and all.  

Arrow spaming at mod... For just pennies a day you can help us pkers with skill avoid this crisis  

SWORD PKING FTW. ARROW PKING IS FOR WIMPS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE A SWORD.
and it's unfair for people who is poor and uses sword.

I think the orbs should be removed and or walls added.

But then when you come in from arrow spammers outside and you have 1.0 or 0.5 you wouldn't be able to heal  

Just put NPCs along the walls which block the arrows like they did on top. Nuff said.  

Just put blocks on all the walls inside MoD. I also prefer the old version of the healing orb setup.  

it's bs how they can get kills that fast so easily by just spamming arrows.

i keep getting hit in my knee from them...

I've been waiting to post about this first of all this isn't just because they're an annoyance at mod.
At first I was with people "noob arrowing" from side of mod.
But I realized these people are getting free kills at at incredible rate like this, and I've tested this as I watched Connor he's a usual arrow spammer in about an hour he had 600 kills whereas to when I pk with just a sword I get around 300+ an hour, take into fact that it was while he was spamming arrows. I don't respect anyone who does this and wish it would be considered boosting since it seriously is just a person spamming arrows from one spot without any real work to get kills other then restocking. I know they have to pay for arrows but they're still incredibly cheap at grotto and we can kill baddies easy due to the new fat weak ones.
I was thinking maybe raising the arrow prices would help.
Maybe making walls everywhere more realistic where they would block arrows.
Even makin arrows not give kills<--I wish but too far fetched.
What are your thoughts on arrows/arrow spam, And what do you suggest?
I can't be the only one who feels the same way.
Here's Daily Life At Mod, Sorry for the quality I was holding 2 iPods so it was harder and iPod camera sucks, anyways here It is.

1: Its not boosting in any way. It's stealing kills.

2: Arrows at grotto are same price as any other arrows, just different quantities. 1 gralat per arrow.

3: Yes, the walls should be blocked for arrow spammers.

4: Kind of takes away from the challenge of pking... You want pking to be alot easier.. I think arrowers just make it slightly interesting. Yes, annoying, but that's like saying "Don't let sparrers swing their sword faster than 1 swing per second" to prevent sword spamming, just because it annoys you.


Just my thoughts not bashing. I do agree the walls should be solid.  

I changed MoD fort today. I think the changes will piss some people off (mainly people who like to be able to quickly block the door) but you will see after about 5 minutes that it takes more legitimate tactics for attacking and defending now, and there's a lot less spamming of arrows.

It isn't perfect, but in my opinion it's better than what it was.  

possibly a short delay between arrow presses ? that could cut down on the spam.  

I entirely agree, although most main points were made i feel like i need to emphasize how unfair the arrow spamming is. Standing on the side repeatedly using arrows not only kills the attackers, but also takes their kills while they're injured. It is entirely unfair to sword users. Making inside walls able to block arrows is the best idea by far, and i cannot think of better ideas.

If we had unlimited arrows, that would be an option. But people who want to buy 99 arrows should be able to use them however they want, as fast as they want. Kind of makes arrows semi-useless if they did that too.

Are you talking about the arrows inside the level or outside? Outside I added blocks to all of the towers so you can't shoot "up" and hit people. Inside I haven't, however. Please let me know which.

inside. personally i hate lagg blockers more than arrow spammers, they take ages to kill and when they do the person behind you has already killed you.
