Does that also refer to bushplanting? Asking because you may actually have meant to include both D:.

Or you could just nerf the simple bow to hell.
I meal hell- Its a tree bough and some string. You can make it a few minutes after starting fresh. Its just not right that it does more than twice as much damage as a sword of the same quality. Its just not right.

That's what I figured you meant, but it was never cool.

There is something difficult about allowing the use of defensive maneuvers while shooting? Or you just don't want it?

You can already line up defensive manoevers then aim to shoot. It seems kinda wonky that you could continue lining up a shot completely unbothered if someone has beaten down your blocks though.

Heck even the current system seems weird. Aggro fox, put up quick block, let it gnaw on me a bit and then point blank it.

Well I meant more like archery should have its own specific set of defensive maneuvers, obviously your movement capabilities while trying to shoot a bow are much different than going in for a punch and I do think that while getting a defensive move ready should not interrupt your aiming, the actual use of it should.

There's a reason why D&D abandoned that system (because it's bad)

I do believe that the bow damage is fine (for hunting) but bad for people. Is there a way to keep it this strong for hunting but decrease its power for PVP? Because it kind of breaks the game but it wouldn't make sense to have to hit a fox 9 times with arrows either :P

Can you guys address the wonkiness of the experience event triggering? Would love to see it fixed as I've seen cases of none triggering for several days while in other cases they seem to trigger in clusters around the same time of day.
