New bow textures

Is there any chance to get the old bow and quiver textures back?

The new ones are totally disgusting....

The bow looks like a child's bow it bought on a medieval market or something and the quivers..well, they are too long, too thin and too full. With such a tight amount of arrows you would never be able to take even one out without dropping all others to the ground :/


How can I get the old models back?

" military archers typically carried their arrows in a canvas bag, which they tied around the waist or back. The bag could usually be tied at the top to protect the fletchings. During the battle, it seems that it was common to stick your arrows in the ground by your feet, rather than keep them in a bag/quiver. This had the dual effect of making the arrows easily accessible, and of making the points muddy"

I would love to do away with the quiver :P Think about it logically. In a quiver the fletchings would get crushed and the arrows would not fly true (reason to nerf accuracy!) In a linen bag with supports this does not happen. In a quiver they get wet. A bag has a top :D And last but not least. If your ranks are broken and you run with a quiver most of your arrows would fall out :D in a bag this doesnt happen.

Remove the quiver! make archers carry lil bags and give them the ability to sink arrows into the ground! (gives more damage but you cant take them out to put them back into your bag) this would be epic <3


PS. Yes the new textures look fugly :D

I don't know what you guys are talking about.
The bows look like real composite bows now not some hunk of wood.
The quivers I don't like, they are too small for quivers used in war.
They are more tournament style quivers

i remember the same has been said the last time the bows got new textures , especially the longbow =).

Last time they were just a bit too shiny for bows that have been used even for more than one generation^^  It always looked like a new bow, but at least it looked like a bow.
Now it looks like a child's toy made of plastic and rubber :/


And as many mentioned: It really has something in common with a banana...

Ps: I haven't checked the other bow textures yet, I'm talking about the longbow. Maybe the others are fine, but as I use the longbow I want it to look good

I am mostly refering to the bows which are supposed to be composite recurve bows
Horn bow, Tatar bow, Rus bow.
If you have ever shot or seen a real one you will know that these look just like the real ones.

Read this (Has a  guide on how to revert it back to the old bow's textures:

http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,19588.75.html

I guess the reason the bow's textures got changed it is because it has to do with the nerf, Toy bow = lower damage.
