Why Bows / crossbows will suck

[rokema]

People will strafe and jump to avoid Arrows and bolts....
Maybe if you make people very slow..

Do you know why guns suck? People will strafe and jump to avoid gunfire.
Maybe if you make people very slow...

Do you know why swords suck? People will strafe and jump to avoid cold steel
Maybe if you make people very slow...

Yes, there is a flaw in what your pointing out...

[swacko]

1: hopefully, the arrows will fly fast enough through the air so it will be really hard to dodge.
2: if someone fired an arrow in your direction, would you stand still?
3: if by jumping you mean b-hopping, players that do it will be kicked/banned.

Agreed, your making it sound like CSS with bows. Players who strafe and bunnyhop wouldn't know how to RP gunfights and would be dealt with accordingly.

You need to aim your bow slightly higher than the target, to actually hit it, simple physics, higher reloading time, depending on where the arrow hits, it may be instant kill (near the heart, or head area) else a wound to the leg will only make you bleed.

Crossbows has a smaller aim, but are stronger, the bolts have a bigger chance of peircing armour, but are slower to reload. If your heavily armoured, you will move slower than no armour, but a shield makes up for that extra protection, shields can withstand alot, before breaking or buckerling, wooden can withstand alittle damage from a sword, a fair bit from a arrow, and bolts will break it easy if its hit in the middle. Iron is much stronger, then Steel, then mithril, then dragonscale.
