Bow problems and bugs to fix

I have played the bow for about 400+ hours in all game activities and I have questions for the developers.

  1. Do you think the hitbox of bows is very small? I have something to compare with because I play hanzo overvach (4000+ hours) it’s easier to get into a shooter for him than in a new world. We all seem to have come to play MMO, not a shooter.
  2. Damage registration is incomprehensible, almost never registered at close range, believe me, I have enough skills to hit and my ping is 40.
  3. All skills that give% to attacks do not give them to the full. Where 20% is written, in practice it gives 15-16%. Arrow range (passive) does not give the same gravity that is written in the description.
    In general, I would like to say that the bow is broken. To get the most out of him, you must either be a pro player, or shoot at close range thereby expose yourself, or kill with successful shots into the crowd, he lacks the speed of the pull and flight of the arrow. Everyone says that bows have too much mobility, but in what game does the bow not have it? By the way, a funny factor, if you charge the arrow while standing still, then it pours a little to the left and below the sight xd. About the scope I want to say that the implementation is extremely inconvenient, there is something to work on, because it will be difficult for a casual player to play pvp with it, for example. Please note that we are playing an MMO, not a shooter. It is my opinion that all weapons should be balanced so that it is easy for each player to handle them.
    I don’t need to tell me that the bow is imba and everything easily falls from it, it’s just that my hands are crooked. I saw the bows on pvp,pve it’s a funny sight. Thank you for the attention(I am a Russian player, so my English may not be correct, sorry)

I have a huge issue with bow. The arrows are too slow, the hit box is off, for head shots you always have to aim to the right of the target. The average war bow would shoot arrows roughly at 250 feet per second. The fact is these in game arrow speeds are super slow and not realistic at all. Even a cheap cross bow can be clocked at roughly 370 feet per second. Point being with the hit boxes too small and off target (slightly right) and the consistent bug of seeing them pass through targets it’s a bit frustrating. However, the dmg is amazing when you do hit. Getting 3.4k light attack head shots is great although very random as the “HIT BOX” sucks badly. If they would fix the hit boxes and recalibrate the speed of arrow flight to match more realistically, and not so freaking slow. Then the bow would be a good weapon of choice all around. They also need to tune the color of the cross hair so we can see it better rather then guess in a field of white.

I have the same problems, been playing a lot of outpost rush recently and constantly having issues with my arrows not hitting standing still targets, arrows going through them, or bow not shooting. Really annoying, wish more people were talking about this
