Longbow? Or Special-bow?

The longbow is now officially retarded-looking.

It looks huge when it is on your back, but scales similar size to a hunting bow when held.... wtf is with that? Yeah. Good job for the English! You invented a bow made to kill wild-pigs.

"Make the long-bow shorter." Seriously guys... one would think a 'long'bow should indeed be 'long'.

Peace out G's, keep it pimpin'

All bows were rescaled to look better with the new attack animations. It is a pity though that the warbow and longbow look stunted.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

You are correct my fellow PK member. A shortened long bow is actually a bow by definition.
PK is back

PK is a collection of elites from throughout modern and ancient history. Giants of Calradia individually, as a group these gods of combat shatter all expectations and ascend to a higher plain of victory that only a few have seen before.

Yeah what in the world is up with that. The longbow and warbow look pointlessly stupid with their new size. I'm glad somebody is bringing this up.

Hopefully there is a way to fix the animation or something, but honestly I'm betting it's never gonna get fixed. Sad face.

Longbow really does look silly. If its to fit the new animation then fair enough, just another reason to never use one.
Maybe you are not bad, but you are a boring person. Well, that's the end of the matter.

The new archery animations look silly

(click to show/hide)

But it's even worse for big bows, so they got resized.

IMO the new animation looks 10 times better than the old one. xD

(incoming exaggeration) but I wasn't a fan of  machine gun wizard-archers with armor piercing rounds.... pulling arrows out of the air, knocking and releasing... shooting 40 arrows a minute. So that's probably why it's better to me.



The long bow changing sizes from when it's on your back and in your hands is silly though lol

On the other hand, it's funny how the hunting and short bow looks bloody enormous.

I noticed this also, but thought nothing of it. They should put it back to its normal size. >:(

Same thing with the war bow, I yelled at Shik when the patch first came out months ago.

Hopefully she found the time to actually fix it.
