The Archer Discussion Thread - Punch - 2011-01-31
There's not many Archers on Southperry.. let alone Bowmasters..
So let's gather all the Archers and talk about ourselves
Thus.. The Archer Discussion Thread
Where we talk about anything and everything related to Archers!
(Archer, Hunter, Crossbowman, Ranger, Sniper, Bowmaster, Marksman, and even Wild Hunters..)
Ready, Aim, Fire!

Isn't that Isaac Jesus SP guy an archer? There may be more than you think.

Hi, Karen :o
I can't say I've been an Archer person as long as you have been.. I've really only enjoyed an Archer since El Nido was released.
But in most MMORPGs that have them, I choose an Archer ^^
~Bowmaster Pride =B

Been a bowmaster for a while, but haven't trained on it too much since other classes came out. Now i just use it for bossing.

Same here, or whatever equivalent they have. I'm a shooter in PSO (though I haven't touched that in months) and my secondary main in WoW is a Hunter (might be my new main because I only chose Warrior first due to my boyfriend's main being one).
I have played every class imaginable in Maple, save for Page and Crossbowman (I should play one, though) and most Cygnus classes and I always end up going back to my Bowmaster.
My first main was a level 105 Ranger, got hacked and deleted in 2008. You can guess what I remade as. xD I can easily recall other archers here who did the same. *looks at Bryan and Retalion*

Let's see.. the only other 4th job character I've had was a Buccaneer.. and they got fked with Big Bang, so screw him >_>
So, I suppose I don't have that much frame of reference..
Nonetheless, I love the Bowmaster. It's range.. it's weapons.. it's technique.. manifique!
The Archer Discussion Thread - Alilatias - 2011-02-01
Been an archer since... Early 2007? All I know was that I became one out of sheer chance (cousins were already warriors and thieves, pirates didn't exist then, and I had tried out mages in beta and overall disliked their playing style) about a month before KMST started testing 4th job, which I think was Feburary/March of that year. MapleStory was probably the very start of my archer obsession in RPGs and MMOs.
I was an archer in Scania, no less. Land of the Sins. Archer pride, eh? I was forced to quit MS twice, and always came back an archer.
The first time, my laptop got hit by viruses and I gave my account to my little cousins, which was stupid because they proceeded to lose it in a backfired scamming attempt. Second time, during the week that 4th job was released in GMS, my computer suddenly got hit by viruses again. I returned from that about two years later, during Aran's release, and started over in Windia (because who knows how much worse Scania became within those two years). Even though I had quit MS for almost two years after quitting that second time, I still kept tabs on what was happening in MS, to the point where Windia began to sound like Archer Nation or something.
Off the top of my head, I recall these famous archers around SW/SP:
- B0wjob
- That guy with a ridiculous amount of numbers in his name, he was from Khalini and he was ranked #1 archer in GMS two years ago
- MariettaRC
- KaidaTan
- ALastReprise
- IssacGS
- Kai Ancalas (wrote the Revolt of the Archers fanfic)
- IAngeliaL (MSEAer, famous through YouTube, she's the only reason that I established contact with the MSEAers of AsiaSoft forums)
I know there were a lot more...
For three years, I've wanted to become a Bowmaster. I'm finally getting close to that goal... And I'm also anxiously awaiting the Archer Legend. Almost everything I'm doing now is in preperation for her, despite not knowing anything about her abilities.

I LOVE that fanfic. I sadly never finished reading it but I got very far in it and it kept me on the edge of my seat every chapter. Seeing it mentioned again makes me want to continue reading it, maybe even start over since the last time I read it was about two years ago.

Zer's Axiom of Zombies
The first person you meet at Zombies will tell you to go screw yourself.
Zer's Axiom of Zombies, Corollary 1
Leaving your channel for 30 seconds just because you need to take care of nature will result in a KS war.
Proof of Corollary 1 (7)
Note: You have to have some knowledge what a two-column/statements and reasons geometry proof is in order to be able to reap the full humor of this little tale.
Statement 1: You are in a Zombie Channel.
Reason: Given
Statement 2: You have to be AFK for a bit.
Reason: You have to go pee.
Statement 3: Someone wanders into your now-still channel.
Reason: Cruel fate.
Statement 4: You get back, only to find that said person has now possessed your channel, acting like they were there first.
Reason: Said person is a callous, sadistic moron who knows that you were there first, but won't admit it. (8)
Statement 5: Said person tells you to go do something inappropriate, not to mention anatomically impossible.
Reason: See Zer's Axiom of Zombies.
Statement 6: A KS war begins.
Reason: You don't take kindly to being told to do something of a questionable nature.
Thus, the corollary is proved.

I noticed there was an update on his profile recently.

Apparently he just came back very recently. He tried out Big Bang.
As it turned out, my lovely old PC made the game nearly unplayable, because MapleStory is not quite as fun when it takes you all of 5 seconds to press the space bar and use Strafe, during which some level 150 guy with a spear twice as big as he is comes up and nukes the entire map with something that looks like it belongs in an episode of Gurren Lagann. That, and apparently the Big Bang screwed up every single map in the game. Yeah. Finding my way around Henesys was a treat. Still, I did find the Stone Golem Temple, so that's something, I guess.
Nexon did at least one thing right, though. They kept the music for Ellinia.
Like before, it was beautiful.
And he's out to revise Revolt of the Archers.
I wish I could say that it's just a story about MapleStory, big deal, get over it, but that would be a slap in the face to everyone who's ever written a story about MapleStory, and everyone who's ever written fanfiction at all. Just because it's about MapleStory doesn't give you the right to slack off because it's not about Final Fantasy or something, and just because it's fanfiction of all things doesn't give you the right to slack off because it's not a "real" story.
Besides, it wasn't just any story.
It was Revolt of the Archers.

Hi I use xbows, hence my name =O. Started up my marksman around mid 07 I think, working on a WH now =). And the only reason that I made one is because I have a VIP Xbow (that took all my mesos to get and it's still 2 slots left) so I can share most of my equips

Started Maple back in '06 with a Ranger but took awhile for me to get him to 100. Got him to 103 in '08, but decided that a Sniper was better suited for me so I made my ranger a mule and started up a cbowman. Blizzard was just too cool to pass up at the time and when 4th job was revealed, Hurricane looked too boring to me. The power of Pierce and Snipe really peaked my interest since I love big numbers. Now my MM is 129 and I'm glad I made the change. My ranger makes a great FM mule though.

My 1st character was a Bowman (with severely messed up stats) who I quitted for a long while when gunslingers came out. As soon as I heard about the buff to AR, I immediately started working on a new Ranger. Even though Battleship torpedo is stronger I still sort of prefer Arrow rain.

Ah, Arrow Rain. It's most of the reason why I wanted to get to Ranger so badly before I knew about 4th job. Even now it's saving my arse from KSers at Pirate Den maps.
Better get to Bowmaster before Chaos patch though. I do not like what they did to Arrow Rain in that patch, both animation and delay-wise.

pfffff- definitely reading this when I get back from class today. xD And a revision to Revolt of the Archers? This interests me... because that story was the only Maple fanfic I ever actually enjoyed (aside from my best friend's old fanfics).

Great, some Archers ^^
Where are you all training right now? (Level?)
Or, what are you guys upgrading right now?
:]

Working on getting my earrings to Unique, as well as trying to rescroll 3 line 14 ATT Archer gloves (my current ones are 2 lines). Failed a 60% yesterday, so I gotta make another pair of 3 liners. ;~;
I'm kind of waiting for LHC before training my Bowmaster again. I need to get to 160 eventually... playing my Battle Mage in the meantime. :3 But upgrading's my first priority right now.
