Title: Archery firing duds
Post by: Aderyn on November 05, 2012, 02:25:15 am
When i shoot with a rusbow (7PD) i shoot duds 80% of the time. What happens is that i shoot like normal but there is no projectile and i don't loose an arrow. Basicly it's like drawing the string and releasing without an arrow.

I also noticed i can't pick up rus bows from the ground.

I could use a hornbow tho.

Seems like fiddling too much with game mechanics fucks up the scripts :///

Any ideas how to fix?

Best regards.

Update: This is how it looks like. Notice the arrows on the bottom right?

Update2: Seems to work like that even with a normal "bow"

maybe it's buildrelated?

I had this exact same problem, and it was due to my internet connection. I would draw back an arrow, let loose, and notice that the enemy did not get hit nor did my ammunition count deplete. What was maddening was that sometimes I could actually see the projectile. Only work-around was to hold down my shot for longer then necessary before loosing my arrow.


I just had to unfortunately wait it out for my internet to stabilize.

not sure man, i'm on 100mb fibre so doubt it's the connection...

Also seems to be firing when i hold the arrow for a longer time. Leads me to think it's a new bug "feature".

Like i said before i think it's related to my build, wich is kinda wierd since i'm a balanced build :| either way i'd like a dev to look into this.

and the fact it works fine on my horsearcher.

I got this problem too, it happens a lot more in Strat when the server lags heavily.

Do you have the problem too that you can't pick up rusbows in strat? Tried to pick up bows last battle with anders but could only use hornbows for some reason... rusbows wouldn't fire (see video) and i couldn't pick rusbows up...

I think a dev needs to look into this :S

I can't pick up my bow,  almost all my shots go right through the fucking target....i'm starting to really get annoyed with crpg. As Nord_Bagge has said it may be time to quit....

I learned that you have to hold the shot after the reticule reduces for a moment before firing. If you quick-shot it'll bug out.

And no, my rus bow picking up is fine.

Hold my shot so that I stand still longer for arbalests to 1 shot me. Yay brilliant!

I'm not a dev, don't complain at me. I am reporting what I learned about the bug so it can be looked into.

lol no worries i'm not mad at you. Just fed up of constantly having a problem with either my class or my build just because people complaining about ranged. Everything was fine before the last patch...

Sounds like Rusbow got Longbow aiming/firing behaviour to counter its high rate of fire.

another update to make things even more confusing.

It works on EU, but still doesn't work on NA.

I no longer think it's buildrelated. Must be server-related.

I hope i'm shining some light on what's wrong...

I am a pretty good accurate archer. these last updates have really messed up archers. when I shoot people the arrow will go through them and deliver no damage. I know not every shot will hit, but the shots that should of do nothing.

I tested this on NA servers I snuck up on an enemy archer and it took me 3 shots to actually hit him. I was less that 3 feet away and I was shooting for center body mass.

I played on the EU server and guess what. I am hitting, and im killing people. :D

Na servers have something wrong with them.

I live in the states, and have very good internet and a $1600 tower. Please fix the NA servers

Alrighty, here's some info.

When the first patch was done, this was broken for all bows. You would go through the animation to shoot, but no missile and you didn't lose an arrow. Other players reported not seeing my bow, but my mace instead, while i saw my bow and its animation.

The fix patch resolved this issue for most bows. I don't own a Rus, so haven't tried.

On arrows going through people:

I think that the animation is not showing the actual flight of the missile when not zoomed in. You can watch the arrow flight go right through people and not a thing. However, if you zoom in, the arrow hits where it flies.

So, non-zoomed archery = fucked -------zoomed archery - correct.

But I still think arrows are flying through people with no effect, and possibly disappearing as i cant find them on the ground afterwards.

I;m shooting arrows and if I don't hold the reticule till it spreads then it shoots but I don't lose an arrow in the quiver. Doens't matter whether i'm zoomed or not. I've tryed it with MW longbow, MW Rus bow, MW horn bow and MW bow. However this has only happened on NA servers so i'm guessing the NA servers are the problem.

After alot of testing this is my conclusion aswell. It has to be the servers. Clear the servers and put the EU version on it. :| no polestagger and archery that works.
