Archery firing duds

[Aderyn]

When i shoot with a rusbow (7PD) i shoot duds 80% of the time. What happens is that i shoot like normal but there is no projectile and i don't loose an arrow. Basicly it's like drawing the string and releasing without an arrow.

I also noticed i can't pick up rus bows from the ground.

I could use a hornbow tho.

Seems like fiddling too much with game mechanics fucks up the scripts :///

Any ideas how to fix?

Best regards.

Update: This is how it looks like. Notice the arrows on the bottom right?

Update2: Seems to work like that even with a normal "bow"

maybe it's buildrelated?

Update: Horsearchery working fine, but then again, using a hornbow.

I had this exact same problem, and it was due to my internet connection. I would draw back an arrow, let loose, and notice that the enemy did not get hit nor did my ammunition count deplete. What was maddening was that sometimes I could actually see the projectile. Only work-around was to hold down my shot for longer then necessary before loosing my arrow.


I just had to unfortunately wait it out for my internet to stabilize.

not sure man, i'm on 100mb fibre so doubt it's the connection...

Also seems to be firing when i hold the arrow for a longer time. Leads me to think it's a new bug "feature".

Like i said before i think it's related to my build, wich is kinda wierd since i'm a balanced build either way i'd like a dev to look into this.

and the fact it works fine on my horsearcher.

I got this problem too, it happens a lot more in Strat when the server lags heavily.

Do you have the problem too that you can't pick up rusbows in strat? Tried to pick up bows last battle with anders but could only use hornbows for some reason... rusbows wouldn't fire (see video) and i couldn't pick rusbows up...

I think a dev needs to look into this :S

was using a CROSSBOW and it happened to me with a steady 50ish ping. aim, hold, release, no bolt loss.. no bolt at all in reality. def funky.

I can't pick up my bow,  almost all my shots go right through the fucking target....i'm starting to really get annoyed with crpg. As Nord_Bagge has said it may be time to quit....

I learned that you have to hold the shot after the reticule reduces for a moment before firing. If you quick-shot it'll bug out.

And no, my rus bow picking up is fine.

Hold my shot so that I stand still longer for arbalests to 1 shot me. Yay brilliant!

I'm not a dev, don't complain at me. I am reporting what I learned about the bug so it can be looked into.

lol no worries i'm not mad at you. Just fed up of constantly having a problem with either my class or my build just because people complaining about ranged. Everything was fine before the last patch...

yeah before the last series of patches everything was fine :// This is why you don't fiddle with game mechanics. Things gets fucked up

Sounds like Rusbow got Longbow aiming/firing behaviour to counter its high rate of fire.

another update to make things even more confusing.

It works on EU, but still doesn't work on NA.

I no longer think it's buildrelated. Must be server-related.

I hope i'm shining some light on what's wrong...
