Archer class

[Nick13786]

Hi all,

Just been reading on forums and a few people have mentioned an archer class, is this something that is currently in mir, or have I just read wrong? If they are in game are there any servers that currently offer this class.

Regards.
Nick.

It is currently in development by a Chinese gaming company called Shanda, however, there are a number of people/servers who have access to their images and have been working on getting the class in.

I can't speak for the others as I am unsure as to whether or not they want to be named, but Mir Chronicles has the Archer class base in and will be releasing him as a future patch.

I started adding it to ruby files but never (and probably wont) got it finished.

Its alot easier/quicker to add than the assassin class due to it only having a handful of basic spells.

Wowww this is sick!
If the ace files have archers & sins in them that would be EPIC!

Its the lack of advance skills that have stopped me from fully implementing... I will speak to you on gc xx

Archer Class would be fun for Ruby but there are loads of things that need fixing first.

Thing is with archer class and sin i feel they take away the feel of mir as they wasn't in european mir but each is entilted to their own opinion :d

I agree in part with that but archers, or fighters using bows figure a lot in ancient Korean and Chinese history so would go well with the idea of the game.

Valid point

well assassin is a derivative of ninja which is also huge in Asian culture / history.

what worry's me about adding archers is their gear is terrible, look at that demon armour its horrid, they seem to have give them an "Angels vs Demons" theme which doesn't make sense, give me a pure form of archer/ranger any day!

but i guess updates are updates, you gotta roll with the times :P

Armours etc. need to be realistic and follow the current flow. Archers need to be highly agile and able to shoot on the run. Whilst very clever and snazzy looking, those wing effects do little for me.

Pretty sure that was the effect of a spell for the Archer increasing certain spells powers i'd imagine....hard to say as i've never seen it lol

looks really slow paced and very basic , which is understandable.

think i'd rather still play the original 3 over sin/archer.

So few games have got archer right its unreal. I'm really unsure as to how the whole angel/demon thing fits in to mir.. And since when to archer wear big bright clothing? ><

I feel archers have a place in mir but it's been rushed and no thought has been put into it. Like you said, the devil and angel thing make no sense. How does that tie in with the stealthy elligence of an archer. My thought's on an archer are that they are cross between wizard & assassin with the range and stealth side of it. To be stealthy you do not wear big bright clothes as you stated, you should wear dull, green colours to blend in with an archers environment of tree's and bushes.

On a positive note, the base is great but before anyone takes the archer project on, step back and think before doing something because three quarters of the way down the line you will kick yourself.
