Because you're not able to aim 100%. You lose about 10-20% of your damage because of that. However, that doesn't change at all what can and can't be hunted. 2 Shots instead of one for a boar to run.

*shrugs* not a big deal. Hasn't changed my ability to hunt at all.

I'm High perception, arrow quality, bow quality and mm, now please, if you can't contribute, fuck off

You being some casual hermit hunter and getting one animal is hardly the same as trying to feed a whole village Sevenless
Being a Casual, a Hermit or a Village Hunter makes no Difference in the Spawn Rate of the Animals.

Every Hunter has his own way of hunting, and u talked about more then 1 Hunter so u even have the benefit of hunting in a group.
Makes things even easier.

Nothing realy changed, but if u are not able to 1 shot things anymore then find another way to Hunt or find other Hunters for ur Village.

Actually it appeared that the culprit was I grabbed the wrong quiver of sub 20 quality arrows :lol:

That still doesn't change the fact top end damage was nerfed for no reason, when the problem was quick shooting

I would like to be able to 1 shot deer again. I was thinking of raising my MM up higher so I can use more of the aim meter. I have a 24q substance bow and making q bone arrows but its not enough.

Boars I normally shoot 1 or 2x then sprint chase on foot to finish them...

I have lost about 60 damage though. I am hoping if I can get full aim meter it will be mostly restored.

Bows being op was about top end damage too. Armor has historically been better than basic bow damage, allow pvp to not get stupid with cheap insta kills. That balance worked nicely in legacy. With bows dealing what they were, they were keeping ahead of armor a little too well. Especially with the nerfs to metal quality grind.

I support the 20% nerf or whatever it was. And I'm hunting as a hermit quite fine still.

You fucking wot. You can punch foxes with 5-10 UA.
Just because you cant be assed to learn the combat system doesn't mean that its impossible. It is quite easy, actually.

Try aiming for longer times, lol. Let the bar fill all the way up- Also use bone arrows. Stone arrows are trash.
