So just wanted to say this scenario is happening quite often in OPR.
Someone roots → roots your teammate. Easy cheese combo, especially with buddies involved. You aim and shoot your bow to punish them. By this time they activate Maelstrom. Maelstrom’s absorb perk blocks your projectile. You decide to shoot again. They use 2 medium i frame dodges out.
They obliterated your teammates and were invulnerable to you nearly the whole time. Total bogus.
It gives me hope that you sympathize with my pain.
former bow main, forced to switch to mage for wars as no wars on camelot use dex players or tanks. Devtarbs are too out of touch to see dex fall off and its not going to be meta until maybe 3v3 or something. GG no re
Even if the devs buff bow the desync is pricing me out of combat.
I am missing key moments with bow skill shots and technical rapier play. Its very costly especially with the high cooldowns on rapier.
just drop it for IG/VG and you will be able to kill people. No better way to beat desync that rooting someone for 10 seconds. Bow isnt worth using currently
The sad thing is this is true. And then the other day a dev, Willard, poses a “theoretical” question saying some weapons could only be meant for PVE.
I took that as a slap in the face.
It made me realize they are putting no work into bow and completely out of touch with combat right now.
I just cant believe that he didnt say hypothetically first, and just stated that…
And dont sey nothing more xD
i wouldn’t suggest harassing devs constantly, i doubt that improves anything. I just hope this patch brings some changes otherwise frick this game i will probably quit
Being a bow main it’s honestly depressing.
-Weapon perks terrible .
-Arrows go through people constantly even in non i frames . Hit box so small but still feel there is some glitches in hit boxes.
-Takes way too long to kill any1
Have to be under 20m or less to be useful against any1 and still very hard to hit shots consistently.
-arrow speed terrible
-doesn’t happen a lot but when aiming and strafing slightly, hip shots fire unintentionally
-any ability shot fired sometimes has to be fired twice just to shoot it . Makes the sound shooting originally but nothing fires.
-holding heavy attacks with bow it will constantly undo the hold back Causing player to have to pull back string again for an attack
Bow all around is just depressing cus I love the fun in it but it’s just straight bad right now . Needs serious rework , it’s very disheartening to see nothing about bow in patch PTR notes
Mages Coming posting seing… The bow its Great, the FS its not a lot better then bow.
Mages xD.
Due to nothing on bow and nothing on GA and IG. I’m out.
Wasting my time, more annoyed at myself then anything else.
Writing was on the wall since day 1.
so fellow bow user its likely we must force ourself playing in april or quit until some nice update for bow
Will the last bowman standing please pick up all the arrows that missed the target.
Same here, I’m going to give them one more month, if in the April update they don’t rework Bow completely to make it balanced I’m going to quit. It’s not fun to be handicapped by the devs while you’re probably more skilled than most guys that are seen like “PvP gods”
Good players cant even shine.
The whole combat system is root into root, with some desync sprinkled in. Thats not even enjoyable for a spectator to watch, let alone play it yourself.
Yeah I don’t know why the fuck in a game with such a dynamic combat system you only need to CC + spam left click someone to be a fucking juggernaut.
Imagina what this game could’ve been without such braindead decisions.
Stop with the unlimited buff to strength heavy armour Great Axe users.
Bow need to rework to do actual dmg.
Big NO. Dmg is good enough. This is not soemthing that should be improved. We dont wants to have OP weapon.
Bow already does the biggest dmg from all ranged weapons
The bow needs a role, though. What can the bow do that the fire staff and musket cannot? The musket has a lot better range and has more reliable damage. The fire staff has a similar range to the bow, but the fire staff is a lot easier to use. To me the bow just feels like a poor man’s fire staff.
I think the bow should either have an armor penetration passive so it can be the only range weapon that can truly damage medium or heavy users or AGS should reduce the post shot root duration so the bow can be the most mobile range weapon.
I agree that the bow’s damage is fine against light armor and AGS should not simply increase the base damage of the bow.
