Return bow back to old style.

Postby bekill » Fri Sep 04, 2015 11:55 pm

Pumping your Marksmanship and still missing something 20 shots in a row because the new cone aiming system is just forcing you to shoot in the wrong direction is insanely frustrating. Please return the old bow aiming style with faster bar build up for higher marksmanship/quality, at least until the bugs are fixed with the current system.

Thanks. /vent

Eh, I much prefer this system over being able aim at someone, walk a minimap away, and still be able to hit them so long as they stand still.

Adds a level of difficulty sure, but if the camera is screwing you over so hard, use a client with free can, or just use :cam bad
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

It is much easier for jorb/loftar to tweak a few values regarding the chance to hit rather than rescripting (importing) the old system and actually tormenting themselves about how to block over-the-wall shots.

The system is not bugged. It is working entirely as intended. If anything it's not fun. That is possible.

We do not "return to old practice just temporarily while durr". That is terrible development practice.

I think it is actually fun enough. I like bows.

Once you get like your first upgrade to them and your mms you hardly ever miss either.

I've actually gotta agree that although I didn't like bows in this game at first, I've now done a complete 180 and find them to be great.
I did think the new system was complete shit though due to the missing issue, but once you realize the mechanics regarding the whole cone aiming system, everything makes a lot more sense.

Just add more bows like longbow, short bow, composite bow ect. Give this bows various bonuses (like speed of aim or damage bonus on hhp or armor penetration). That will be perfect.

Btw im still dreaming about crossbows.

Seconded. The ability to actually aim at a target location gives some skill to archery in pvp too.
