lol has nothing to do with the string. it has to do with the horn bow and its components. they are connected by glue and if it gets wet it doesnt grip that good anymore. read it on wikipedia.

Everything I've heard about bows getting wet has been to do with the string. Bow can be unstrung and restrung relatively quickly. Crossbows cannot.

I'm sure soaking a bow for a LONG time would weaken it because of the glue. But I doubt a brief rainy spell would have that much effect. Add on that I'm sure archers that use those bows would have known how to keep them out of the rain.

Damm boy, you're bad at lobbying

For the same reason why you can run infinitely long in heavy armor, why you can't cut wooden staffs with a GLB etc etc ...

for the balance. ;)

Coz this is a game, and games are usually all about balance, not realism, kkthx bye. Why should there  no penalty for the arbalest(that already is the best crossbow) ? To buff it even more comapred to the others ? ... No thanks.

and it should slow down horses after so much raining, and people with closed helmets should have a bonus compared to others ( well depending on their haircut: it s not the same long wet hairs as short ones... )

chadz told me it will be all included in patch 56.986344, so no worries lol
