Quite disappointed in Bow "buffs" on paper

ya Id be more positive if they were humans that mained bow :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I mean there’s a reason GA is hard meta lead dev plays it but mad props on the nerfs/fixes on GA.

Am I missing some of the bow changes cause it looks like no numbers have been increased except reaction time and hitbox

Ya I mean there are definitely buffs there but the more I think about it its all stuff Im not having problems with currently… it just doesnt hit hard or consistently enough they helped the consistently – true RoA is clunky, I mean I use Rapid Shot in OPR which is very clunky just to make up for the lack of damage. Youre right though, I should try and see how the quickness in shooting and recovery help it before judging… but that is why I said on paper its underwhelming.

And Ive PTRd many a games, the reason you complain is to encourage changes prior to release ;p

What I understand from these buffs is Bow will be autocancelling correctly like BB for huge burst. Am I wrong?

I tested it. Fire rate is much better, don’t worry! I’m excited, it seems that they finally did a good job.

My notes:

awesome … will it be impactful enough to be viable in wars … im on hotel wifi right now its taking forever to dl

Yeah, it is. Don’t worry, I think they finally made a good job.

Okay thats more in the ballpark of what Im looking for. I WANT TEARS IN GA PLAYERS EYES.

lol nah It would be cool if Arrows had slightly longer stagger duration, maybe slightly faster arrow speed which would take getting used to

UPDATE

I tried it … It definitely feels better for skirmishes but I dont know about its viability in war

It feels dramatically better, and it feels like much more on par with other weapons, but it could use some changes to weapon perks and the ability tree could use a rework.

I just tested it because I wanted to know aswell.
On Live you can shoot normal attacks every 1.42s
On PTR you can shoor every 1.15s
You really feel the difference. It’s basically the same rate of fire you were able to gain with jump-canceling before it was removed.
Add to that the fact that now you can chain normal-shot/ability pretty istantly.

TLDR:

the crying coming before the testing.

I played it for about 15 minutes in PTR. Initial thoughts are… INCREDIBLE.

nah its mostly what I thought it would be a buff for small pvp encounters but nothing that will get dex slotted into wars

One could argue that’s a problem with war mechanics, not bow.

true enough tbh true enough

Still, that’s what I’ve been waiting for is something that makes it so I can play the weapon I love playing and have a chance to get slotted – maybe removing IG from the game wouldve just been the better move

It’d be neat if there were more objectives during war… Like an elite special forces unit where other weapons and skills can shine. :slight_smile:

It seems like you’ve sparked quite the interesting discussion, AmbassadorDvinn. Thanks for your feedback regarding the bow changes. While I’m glad to see you’ve tried out the changes in PTR and feel like they’re good so far, time will tell how it’ll play out in wars :eyes:
