Title: Power Draw above 5 reduces wpf
Post by: _Sebastian_ on September 03, 2011, 01:48:35 am
Hi.
For a while ago I made a thread about this (bug).
http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,12795.0.html (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,12795.0.html)
(Please read my first post)

I made a test about Power Draw and took screens from the crosshairs of different settings.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


- PD decreases the accuracy
- PD decreases the draw-speed
- PD also decreases the draw-time

But this all happens only if PD is over 5.
PD under 6 increases all these things.


I hope you devolepers fix this bug soon.

Just stick with 5pd and get a mw horn bow + mw arrows =P
I am doing quite well with 5pd.

However, this really needs to be fixed. As well as the speed of the arrows. I mean...i don't even try to shoot long range, because i barely hit something and when i do the dmg is just not noticable, IF the arrow even get's that far.

Im not talking about nerfing xbows.
Only the arbalest is a bit OP but the other xbows are just fine.
The worst thing about the xbows is, that the arbalest is more accurate than the hunting xbow :!:
(I played one gen as xbower)

Back to power draw;
Is there any devoleper who can tell us, why the PD-bug isnt fixed  :?:

What? Why shouldn't the Arbalest be more accurate than a mere hunting bow? Xbows in general should always be more accurate than bows.

this and you are never able to fully use 10 pd in a level 30 char (wpf requirement 1pd-14.5wpf)

Because not everyone knows how the game mechanics work and i'm not even sure what to think of it these days after it has been changed so many times. Not everyone can be all knowing...

Also, those two screenshots are a little misleading... Due to the tree being smaller on the right and side, it makes the crosshair look smaller than the left hand one, if you understand what I am saying. An illusion so to speak... I'm going to draw lines and see what it is like lol.

Edit: After drawing lines, it does appear that the right hand redicle is smaller than the left hand one, however i'm not 100% convinced since I have seen comparisons between normal Crossbows and Masterwork Arbalests with the same wpf and the Arbalest still seems to be a less accurate... But this is about Power Draw increasing/decreasing accuracy, not crossbows!

No, for there is no problem.
PD increases accuracy at low amounts, and decreases it at high amounts and, I think roughly in the words of Fasader, is a complex arcane formula that is beyond our understanding.
