Not too happy.
Most still show somewhat positive reaction compared to what the most Mabination's general users' reactions are.
I'm guessing they're not happy with melee and magic either.
Though I'm actually curious to know what exactly they're saying.
What are the KR community thoughts about the archery renovation in general?
- Devcat is blocking Mirage Missile from damaging non-PvP users? GOOD!
... Next minute, it's not blocked.
... They do another maintenance, still not blocked. (They said it's blocked. But it's not.)
... Mirage Missile now KILLS players too... So... GG.
I was referring to the fact that they originally added the skill in and it didn't even work. They didn't even test the skill before they added it to the live server. Now that's halfassed work. The damage the skill does is actually around what I was predicting it would be anyways lol.
No offense, but are you being sarcastic?
My concern with Urgent Shot are the availability restraints and how its seemingly not very newb friendly. If you fuck up alchemy, you can insta-load Wind Blast and insta-push the enemy away. Urgent Shot on the other hand requires needlessly wasting ammo and using it within some time after a failed shot (lag spike says hi, then leaves just as the availability time is up). Furthermore, if you actually succeed the shot and the enemy is pretty close, you can't immediately push it away as Urgent Shot wouldn't be available (Windmill/Counter seems slower than Urgent + another Archer Skill).
Also who's QQing about the damage? Support hits 80%, Mirage hits 200%, Crash Shot initial missile hits 100%, why does it matter if Urgent Shot should be hitting more than 150%?
As ReFuSeR said, they should have tested it first, not suddenly throw it into live.
I'm not even complaining about the skill.
I just don't see why this skill is needed. The utility it offers is nice, but the concept of this "emergency shot" isn't really rendered that useful when things like windmill exists. And I'm not speaking just for humans, I'm considering Elves too. I don't care about what damage it does because I know it's supposed to be pure utility skill.
Not a bad skill, but redundant one in my eyes.
I wonder if they could have made support shot affect next ranged ability like melee ability... That could be interesting, as you could use support shot as your "emergency shot", then follow up with Magnum shot or something.
Feel like they could have brought something more enlightening. We still don't know if there are more things to come for range, so we'll see.
- GG Bhafel, crossbow too op and materials too cheap.
- Is this even archery revamp? All I see is Alban Knight release.
- QQ Giant's throwing attack doesn't receive double training event bonus
- Urgent shot locking up your character! Fun!

Pretty much this.
Urgent Shot is just like Shockwave. Not in how the skill works, or damage, or appearance. When Shockwave came out people complained that it's just a windmill clone (moreso a stomp clone but I can understand). But it's a windmill that is more instant with the purpose of shedding off enemies while the player gets a chance of casting magic unmolested. In addition, if a player is being molested, it gives them the ability to burst them away. Plus it's Int-based instead of Str-based. It could be used during an enemy's molestation but a smart person wouldn't even give them a chance.
This is same thing. It prevents enemies from molesting the player (I used the word molest way more than I thought I would) so her or she may ready the next attack. Plus it's dex based, not str. The key difference between this and shockwave is that as far as I know, Urgent Shot only attacks one enemy, and Urgent Shot has a significantly lower cooldown but has limited availability. Who cares if people say "this skill wasn't necessary", it's nice to have. Wind Blast and Bullet Slide keep the enemy at bay, they're not really needed but they help the flow of their respective skillset. I'm kind of surprised Archery is the last ranged skillset to NOT have something like this (unless you count Spider Shot, it is instant I guess). The brilliant part though, is that the next archery skill you use has faster aim speed.
Urgent Shot is really well designed and probably has had more thought put into it than the rest of the archery update combined. I don't understand the BS people are giving it.
My point was that even though it wasn't necessary it is useful and a great addition to a skillset that needs more thought put into it. Not it being unnecessary being a bad thing.

Are you really just ignoring the fact Wind Blast also requires 'Ammo'
You still use 1 Wind Crystal for it and tbh, i can use Urgent Shot fine when missing with Ranged on KR?! but totally fail to load Wind Blast and use it on NA?!
Lag? I don't think that excuse counts. Also i'm PRETTY SURE my word stands stronger as the one of us two who actually CAN use the skill.

Someone who just learned Urgent Shot: Um, why can't I use it? I have a bow and shit equipped, but it's not available to me. The description doesn't even tell me how to use it either.
Honestly, I feel that archery is not very beginner friendly, despite being one of the first three skillsets. When I first picked it up back during Chapter 1 of the game, I struggled, not only by the aiming meter, but because the mobs would suddenly aggro me for seemingly no fucking reason when I tried to aim at them. Common reactions were to either shoot and miss, or run away (there wasn't any insta-load counters or windmills, resulting bad punishment).
What are the KR community's opinions on Urgent Shot?
I disagree so much. Shockwave is absolutely useless for that function unless you're fighting an enemy with terrible AI.
Anything that lives is just going to walk back up and punch your face in before the shockwave animation even ends, let alone lets you charge something else.
Only use I've found for the thing is blasting apart rooms of anything I can oneshot.
Urgent Shot seems far better for this defensive panic button purpose since it actually allows you to use followup skills before the heat death of the universe.
That's not the same thing. Both Wind Blast and Urgent Shot use one ammo, but Urgent Shot has to be made available so it ends up using two (or three from Elf Ranged Attack) ammo.
