Bow players will not go quietly into the night

I have a dream, a dream that one day bow users will be able to use their weapons of choice without fear of retribution. A dream that they will be able to use their skills and abilities to their full potential, and not be held back by unfair nerfs.

I know that many of you may share this dream, and that you too have felt the pain and frustration of being forced to use a weaker weapon than the rest. I know that you have seen the unfairness of being barred from participating in “mutations” simply because you chose to use a bow.

But I also know that we are not alone in this struggle. We are part of a community, a community of players who care about fairness and respect. And it is this community that gives me hope, hope that one day our dream will become a reality.

I know that the road ahead will not be easy, and that there will be those who will try to hold us back. But we must not give up, we must continue to fight for our rights and for our dignity as players.

So let us stand together, let us raise our voices and let our dream be heard. Let us demand that the developers reverse the unfair nerf to Rapid Shot, and let us show them that we will not be silenced or oppressed.

I have a dream, a dream that one day bow users will be treated fairly and with respect. And I know that with the support of our community, this dream will become a reality.

What did they nerf on bow? I thought they just fixed the bugged projectile sizes and buffed the projectile size of Explosive Shot.

[I read it and I’m dreaming hahaha =)
But the reality is that 7 of the 14 weapons in this game are melee weapons. Melee weapons are easier to play and more effective in any content, everything in this game is made for melees. Two-thirds of players play for miles, so the chances of getting through to the developers are slim. I started the thread about how melee weapons are too strong (im talking about hitbox exaclty), I was told I was touching a sensitive subject hahahaha

Let me point out hatchet, almost no hitbox or tracking…

They made Rapid Shot clunky AF.

Basically you use to be able to animation cancel after firing your 3rd shot and roll away to safety.

Now you’re locked in for 2 hours and means you can only get it off if the thing your fighting is asleep/braindead.

Whatever you say, dude.

You’re exaggerating, overall it’s not that terrible. What’s awful is that gradually, weapon after weapon, patch after patch, all ranged weapons are getting nerfed, but nothing happens to melee weapons. They still haven’t even fixed gravity well…

Holy moly that thread is a giggle and a half.

People literally defending the hitbox hitting behind them.

Whelp.

Oh yeah definitely exaggerating for effect. I still love bow and I won’t be changing it up (even though I do get denied from half the mutations frame 1 on joining when they see I’m running bow…).

Yes, it’s both funny and sad at the same time. Most of the players are melee players, of course they don’t want any fixes in this direction… What to do about it…?

That’s right! Better yet, find yourself a team that will accept you for who you are - Archer ! =)

And smaller hitboxes than arrows when thrown for some reason lol.

So you recon Hatchet buffs needed?

Doesn’t see much play in mutations…arena…OPR…War…

Wait a minute…

I thought hatchet had bad tracking and hit box as well, but just Look at the video of hatchet hit box and tracking in this post. It’s honestly bull shit!

You don’t see many people - at all - spec’d into thrown hatchets. He was specific about it being thrown that he was talking about:

I had a dream once. Woke up with a massive hard on

Well fact is all animation cancels on bow has to be fixed. Even right now bow can shot 2 arrows in like 0.1sec by using animation cancels. Only best bow players can do that, but still. Has to be patched up.

People rarely use the hatchet or rapier as an offensive weapon. Both weapons could probably use offensive buffs.

This is what happens when the balance lead doesn’t do his job and set expectations correctly.
