Archery changes

[Deleted User 001 0]

Greetings

 

A small update for bows was released a few hours ago which lowered the arrow velocity on all newly crafted bows, and any pre-existing bows will be scaled down upon being used. Since people have been asking, here's the official changes:

 

• Current bows will have their arrow velocity lowered by 25% upon use. Bows with an arrow velocity stat lower than 25%, will be set to 1%.
• Bows made after this update will have their arrow velocity capped at 45%. The previous cap on arrow velocity was 70%.

 

The new arrow velocity ranges are as follows:

 

• Oak: 1% - 10%
• Redwood: 10% - 20%
• Dark Oak: 20% - 30%
• Thornbark: 30% - 45%

 

These numbers are by no means final and can be easily changed if archery is still potent or turns out to be underpowered. Also note that future archery changes may not be limited to just bows.

 

Thanks to @HB_ and @InfamousGerman for helping test and put this update together.

R.I.P archery. Now archers not only will get two shot by melee, they'll also be shooting feathers that do 4 hearts of damage in a good archer set. Glass cannons became glass cups. Melee now is both more damage output and more defence. Pity that all of my skills are for making archery gear which will be rendered useless. sigh

haha 'useless' yeah ok, you can still easily 4-5 hit people if you have top tier gear like you claim

My current set is 56% and to someone in iron armor with a power 1 bow i do 4 damn hearts. While any melee with a decent black ferrum axe can two shot me even if my set is full prot.

then perhaps, rather than complain pointlessly, you should also ask for melee to be nerfed?

Because if you'd nerf melee, the melee community will rage to get archery nerfed even more. It will just be a circle of nerfs with no end. We'd either end up one shotting each other or dealing half a heart with any weapon.
