About a plugin on headshot, another thing we could do would be to add a graphical effect on the screen of persons instead of adding damages (such as a blur effect for some seconds), that wouldn't ruin the game and make it a bit more realistic i think

100 % agree
That was my idea

I'd advise against blur effects. Certain effects make people more susceptible to them than others (poison effect for one). Some (like me) have a glitch that when we receive any form of damage (so that the red circle would appear), the screen goes completely dark, duration depending on the height of the damage. I think this would only make things worse graphical-wise.

it would be like saying melee should be able to decapitate it's opponent, it's retarded, sorry.

Archers 2-shot, mages 2-shot, they can both hit any melee, even shielded warrior or safeguarded warrior, or each other. I don't see why they should be given headshot

an archer fires so damn fast, that even a warrior cant stance quicker

I don't disagree with it's the lass lethal class in all of dm (archer), but if we make headshot available for archer etc, then who will be the less lethal class then? Considering the less lethal class is still pretty lethal when it comes to it...

"A little bit easier"? Lol.
And Archers fire a little faster than a Mage can with his Fireball - oh and, he can control it back to the enemy if he misses him the first time *points at curving Fireballs that most good Mages use*.
Whereas Mages will be able to fire at you about 42 Fireballs before they go out of Mana whereas you will need to wait to get Mana after shooting 3-4 drill arrows. And yeah, Fireball on direct hit deals the same or higher amount of damage as drill arrow does.

If you can't live without that, then I see no reason why would we keep side-hits on - they do in fact increase Warrior's damage by what, 20-30 damage? Archer is the only class that doesn't benefit from side-hits ... I think that skill-shot that we call "headshot" would make up for it.

Archer will still be a fragile class which (and is the only class that can't) can't block/parry melee attacks, they will still do exactly the same damage to other classes, but if they actually manage to hit you directly in the head, then I think they should be rewarded for the extra damage.

it can be pretty nice idea to compensate the sidehits, and it'll make archer class more interesting with the challenge of headshots.

Warrior can one shot and two shot, assas can instant kill many people with bombs, and don't forget that for archer to be able to do high damage with drill or triple arrow, it'll cost him a lot of points, you usually need level 8 as archer before being able to use drill in an effective way.

The headshot wouldn't add much damages, but it'd still be an appreciated bonus.

19:15 - [TSH]MightyMalcolm: [...] would it be possible, for example, to add headshots for archers (and only for archers?
19:15 - Luna Inverse: yes
19:15 - Luna Inverse: should be possible
19:16 - Luna Inverse: i am even working on it ;)

A bit like when a warrior stances your back (or your front, in my case..) and does 80dmg?

Warrior can one shot and two shot, assas can instant kill many people with bombs, and don't forget that for archer to be able to do high damage with drill or triple arrow, it'll cost him a lot of points, you usually need level 8 as archer before being able to use drill in an effective way.

If you keep turning around him while stancing, you can success to dodge his arrows and even make sidehits/backhits, and you can rush in as tur does with last stand.

Eeeee...It's a fps game, don't forget it, not a Little Pony game, the aim of balancing isn't to have a class which would be the least lethal.
Also, while training, once, play archer and you'll see how hard it is to have just a kill when enemies are stoneskined and that you hit for 30 dmg when MAX drawn. The headshot wouldn't add much damages, but it'd still be an appreciated bonus.

now you're using if's and buts, which makes your argument invalid

to bomb effectively as assassin you need lvl 7 as well, same goes for warrior if you think of leap

A warrior still has to get close, and has no stealth, so you should be able to hear him...

Furthermore, last stand is an effect that only is on for a certain amount of time, and when it wears out you lose the amount of hp you gained. It's still kitable, and killable.

I don't know the pony game you speak of, so I won't comment on the balance in that, but it sounds horrible. As for FPS games. They all have their way of balancing. Making classes or weapons less lethal. Let's take counter-strike as an example. AK-47 is fully automatic and oneshots in the face, now the sniper called AWP, also oneshots in the head, but also on any other body-part, such as legs and stomach, where as the AK-47 doesn't, it takes a few shots. So all fps games has less lethal weapons / classes. It doesn't mean you can't be destructive when you're good with them. And there are many different weapons which 2 shots etc. It's all up to what you choose, and it's all good in it's made situation.

And they still have a staff to defend themselves

Haha you underestimate power of staff xDD Some use it kinda offensively

Lol at your first sentence - did you write that on purpose or you have a hard time understanding sarcasm?
As for Counter-Strike ... an excellent point! However, you skipped the most vital part; AWP can't shoot as fast as AK-47 does. And besides, AK-47 can one-shot someone only if someone makes a headshot *winks*.

I think the chances of you kiting the Warrior as Archer that long or avoid him killing you is approximate 13.42%
Plus, who is making "ifs" and "buts" now?

now you're using if's and buts, which makes your argument invalid, I can say what if, and but the archer is good at kiting? that should make up for the dodging. Furthermore, last stand is an effect that only is on for a certain amount of time, and when it wears out you lose the amount of hp you gained. It's still kitable, and killable.

Archer is the only class that has no melee protection. Not even a staff to parry/block an attack from other classes. Now that side-hits are enabled, it's even worse for them.

And no, them being able to instant kill someone (IF they get close) with double/triple arrow, or dealing nice bursts of damage from distance, is NOT a good argument.

Both Priest and Mage (which I think I might have to remind some of you, are not melee classes) have twice as easy job as the Archer does. And they still have a staff to defend themselves.

(and yes, I do make it sound important; that's because it is - just not many people use it to that extent).

Exactly what Jilako said, you should play Archer on our next training and see how well it goes (that is, not same as the last time where there were no Mages or Priests).

must be weird ppl O.o anyway, what is the problem? xD headshot = side/backhits for archer. life can be so simple ^.^
