Roma Victor

I know it's  "in the works". But for me its a key reason to play or not play. Housing...extensive crafting....but no archery  (sigh).

 Yeah I have the same feelings too.  I made my barb to have good sight but low in the physical a bit just so I would be a good archer. Yet their is still no archery. So at this point my barb is useless... especially so since their aren't many folks arround in erring to train in basic combat with.

  NPC sparring partners would be nice to help aleviale that a bit... I posted in RV forums on that but who knows if they will ever implement something like that for the new players in the NPC towns that all the players have moved away from.

  Sorry bit off topic there but yeah archery would be nice so I could use my barbs full potential.

So...I won't play this game.

I know it was stated by KFR (Lead DEV) in one of the latest SOTW reports that the trigonomentry(sp?) was done for balastics and once the escalation patches are done (which we've already had 1 of) then balastics should be introduced soon thereafter.

 Archery wasnt invented yet in the time that Roma victor takes place. :P

Archers were a main staple of any Ancient Fighting force even before the Iron Age. So Archers were around the time of Roma Victor, and the Roman Army did use them.

We got word today the coding for Ballistics is done, all the DEVs need to do is create character animations and do some bug testing. So once guildhalls are in we should see Archery soon enough.

Nice. Hope it's available sooner rather than later .

Yes we all hope that too. Ballistics in general is supposed to be a main focus of the DEV's once the escalation patches are done which should be relatively soon hopefully....
