Still waiting for DaveUKR to GTX, the tradition must continue.
If I remember it was apparently him who said that bows shouldn't be able to shoot further than xbows (not sure if that's true, but if it is, then he wouldn't rage quit over getting his own way!)
But yes, I do feel that this patch has... worsenedthe game again, but then I am an archer, I just sit there and take the nerfs that get thrown at me. I don't believe that increasing accuracy and reducing the arrow speed increased the amount of skill to hit targets, moving the reticle a little bit higher and the direction the enemy is running for less damage, doesn't make sense to me since it would take the same amount of skill to judge how long the arrow will take to land on the target before hand...
On a side note, I think I am going to take some time out from the mod too, it's beginning to bug me.
