BOW PTR testing on dumbies and found that the bows aim is nerfed

Lol dude. Every1 who writes something that you dont agree with is a noob and dont know how to play the game. Just stop writing if you cant make normal discussion.

@GRANDE_WARTORIAS is right. FS cant and never did dmg bow can and always could. Thats why my opnionion is they never should have same hitboxes. It allows bow to aim easier and do way more dmg. There is no point playing FS other than some silly aoe dmg.

I am on live hiting domoes for 9k 10k with glass canon ,so were is problem?;D

FS does not need buff. But fact is PTR bow was overbuffed.
And i think thats a reason behind this silent nerfs - they noticed bow allows to do crazy dmg while allowing most mobile builds in game. Frist week ptr i did check a bow and said to my friend bow player - at least 50% of opr next patch will be bows.

If this goes live, I’m off.
I won’t play with RNG arrows. I simply won’t. Ever.

that because everyone wanted to try the bow… it was reworked so bow players got on the PTR to try it, thats why were so many bows lol

yep, these devs need to stop listening to balancing feedback from its players other than content ideas and bugs, because honestly the devs handled it better and didn’t do as many random changes.

Adding a change like this in the 4th (and possibly final?) iteration of this months PTR without documenting it is not really the best way of getting good feedback on potential changes. Bow actually felt good in the first three patches, so people won’t go out of their way to test it a 4th time if there’s no communication / transparency about it being changed again…

lol, tottaly broken

honestly it seems like that was the intention. stealth nerf it. call it a bug and promise to fix it 6 months later. Like how do I honestly try to recommend this game to anyone with stuff like this constantly. Its way past a meme at this point.

RNG Arrows boyz ! Archers will now play HeartstoneNewWorld :rofl: :joy:

New perks incoming 30% chance arrow goes where you are aiming. 30s cooldown.

With alll due respect @Shadow_Fox, we’re in the last week before it’s supposed to release and the bow feels worse than on live now. How likely is it that they adjust it shortly beforehand or that it goes live and stays in a weird state for another month minimum?

I will wait out the final version, but this PTR update alone killed the entire bow revamp hype for me. Also, as mentioned by multiple people, just a reminder on the bow situation:

  • Bow has been gutted since january, nearly useless for the average player in high lvl PvP.
  • FIVE months later we get promises of a better bow. Now, one week before release, bow on PTR feels even worse than on live (still F tier version from january).

All I’m saying is that I don’t have a good feeling about the upcoming PvP release at all, which is sad since I’ve been waiting for arenas since launch.

On topic: That arrow RNG has to go LMAO. Some more RNG clips from live versions:

Remember when greataxe was nerfed a few ptr’s ago and people cried so much that it ended up being buffed stronger than what it was on live? bows got the opposite treatment lol. we got buffed in ptr. ppl cried on forums. and now we’re gonna be nerfed even worse than live version bow…

hope the bruisers left playing have fun when this game drops below <10k peak pop in a couple months

If this is their idea of giving bow some love and making it more playable, it might be time to move on. It’s supposed to be a highly mobile, high skill cap, powerful in the right hands weapon.

And, just for a little extra context, I have never said, “if xxx then I’ll quit” in a forum post in my life.

It’s so sad that if this current state gets pushed to live the majority of the players won’t even be able to see what bow could have been. First patch of the PTR bow felt great. It was fluid. Impactful. Why revert that? Especially without talking to the community about it.

Damnn… I was looking forward to committing to the bow, rip
Can AGS do one thing right plsss
Same with the time gate
Come on

So, is the nerf now that the bow isn’t 100% accurate from long range while moving? If so, cry me a river. Maybe a better alternative is weapon sway based on range and stamina?
Looked fine to me, personally I think long range while not moving should be less accurate also.
