Indefiinite bow hold?

[Digglez]

Kinda ridiculous that archers can hold bow indefinitely.  5-7 seconds should be maximum really

[Cup1d]

what do you know about archery mate?

Yea... but then you should be able to shot accurate for 5-7 seconds.

[Arrowblood]

i can hold my bow only a few seconds AND can be accurate in RL

[Paul]

It's unfair that archers shoot arrows with metal tips.

[Lactating Vegetables]

its unfair that archers even shoot arrows

i mean its not like they were ment to do anything other stand there and look cool 

[Digglez]

these are not modern bows with pulley lock systems, they are steer arm strength bows, holding them longer than 5-10 seconds would basically ruin your accuracy for several minutes. 

Heres how muscles work for you people that have no clue of human anatomy (keep in mind Randy Couture is probably the best fit 50 year old in the world)

I like how devs have to get sarcastic remarks to suggestions to improve their game.

[Bulzur]

Agreed.


I wouldn't mind, as an archer, a limit of (for example) 7 seconds of hold. Longer than this, and the archer actually looses his arrow, and gets stuned (like a kick animation), cause his fingers couldn't handle it. Let's even add a 1dmg to self when that happens.


Anyway, i rarely see archer holding their aim for more than 7 seconds. Except the afkers, leeching, feinting to shoot.

[Paul]

Ok, what about we limit holding time to 7 seconds but in return keep max accuracy till the end?


it would be a super buff especially for longbow archers

Sounds realistic and game breaking! I like it!

Next on the agenda, realistic one shotting horse bump damage.

Kinda ridiculous that pikemen can stab 60 mph but that's how things are. Taking away that feature would be too much of a nerf for archery imho.

[Digglez]

ideally, holdtime should be a function of the bow's dmg

higher bow dmg = higher string tension = more force required to pullback/hold = faster/greater muscle fatigue

I hate archers and even though the degrading accuracy was kinda weird or silly system.  I'd be fine if they can only hold for x seconds.

[Miracle]

Well in that case...Feinting constantly and spamming should induce muscle fatigue so you can't block.  Also applies to putting shield up and down constantly.  Also let's not forget great/long mauls spamming overheads constantly.  And if a horse runs into a rock at full speed it should throw the rider off.  And what Tears said about the one shot bump kills.

[Bobthehero]

But you can feint for a long time if you're trained... far longer in fact than the duration of a cRPG round.

let's not forget that we're not playing as your IRL version in c-RPG, we're playing HOT sexy fit WARRIORS who won't tire just by swinging a couple kg weighting sword a couple of times
