Finding a niche for longbow

[Konrax]

The increase in missile speed needs to be tested so the speed bonus on it doesn't make it a super canon.

Aside from a bit of balancing on the damage (which is good atm) I would like to see it hit targets much faster and at farther ranges.

This would give it some much needed love for its price and make it a viable alternative to all the other bows.

Actually, this work opposite way. Slowest projectile receive more benefits from speed bonus. Don't you remember «big commotion in a melee kindergarten» when balance team nerfed arrows speed?

On the other hand, devs someway hacked this speed\damage engine dependance, so we have slow projectiles but bad speed bonus now.

Speed bonus would be only slightly more damaging at non-adjusted speeds, but at adjusted speeds vs cavalry for example, the speed bonus would decrease for the long bow if you increase missile speed.

I was actually hoping for more feedback on MY suggestion

[Gurnisson]

ptx, it got +1 accuracy in this patch

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

That one point does nothing really

[[ptx]]

ptx, it got +1 accuracy in this patch

OH YAY +1 ACCURACY.

Well, /care.

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

it is still more or less a luckshot to hit someone's head on distance with the longbow

+1 accuracy is useless

[Gurnisson]

So much rage. still topping scoreboard with my archer alt with a long bow. it was good before, it still is. Fucking whiners don't appreciate anything

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

I don't say, that I can't kill anyone anymore or whatever, but +1 accuracy is like nothing. ;)

We are talking when you fight OTHER PEOPLE: we all top the scoreboard when we play alone mate.

[Zerobot1]

Just wanted to ask, on the website long/rus bows are listed with 103 or 102 accuracy, in game on mouse over it says 100 accuracy for both of them.

Is this just a superficial problem and has it always been like this? I can't remember for the life of me.

Apparently that is just a display problem. My suggestion still stands, though.
