As I understand the bow problem in live was mainly the projectile hitbox which was small and it was increased.
There were already threads talking about the overtuned Bow and the DEVs must have realized they were creating another BB.
So the arrow direction and hit box got changed? From what I could tell from the OP and from your earlier comments, you were complaining about movement changes and how it felt less responsive? It’s within the realm of possibility the devs did some unintended rollbacks when they were removing that thing where you can swap weapons in midair and change directions, plus the change to how far you dive when you prone while sprinting. Those things affect all weapons so the code could definitely become mixed up.
Then they need to do better coding.
Yes arrow hit boxes were decreased from previous build. I believe its the same as live now where an arrow can go through an armpit. Yes arrow direction is off the charts weird. It can go way up into nowhere. It can just dissapear through target etc. similar to live now. They literally made movement worse than current live which was my biggest initial problem with bow. I never even used any of these “advanced” movements. What I do know is the bow feels worse than live right now and live is already complete ass.

People all acting like bow was some overpowered weapon when it wasnt. Acting like it will be meta when it wont be. Leads to unnecessary changes to bow that turned it into utter garbage. Meanwhile Im watching fire staff/IG/VG absolutely wreck in arenas for the last week.

This arrow rng is honestly the worst add in the small hit box reduced dmg and the root is back
I guess some dev got shit on in the arena and we get a bow nerf now instead of a buff

TBF in the first devs vs content creators 3v3, one of the devs had bow and got shit on.
2 weeks whitout enter, waiting for new patch. And now see It xD
Bye bye NW.
I’ve never seen a weapon that got nerfed so much, you removed every possible skill gaps for it
Playing bow against all the heavy armor players is already hard enough.
I had hope seeing the bow update on the ptr to get back on the game but once again devs decision took my love for PvP and the game in general away.
