Bowbugging takes absolutely no skill what so ever.

Its a bug, most likely easily fixed, yet we have to pay $13 a month to NOT BE HEARD.

Fix the bowbug or you can count me out, im so over it.

hmm wow this is getting worse and worse =/

its been ig forever and ive seen ppl use it *rarely* i havent played dt in a while but geeze seems its widely known and used now. totally lame. =|

i hope it gets fixed... exploits usually get looked over when rarely used, but now that its being mass used it needs a fix asap.

if mages got a bug where they could all wars they can at u in 10 seconds till they run out of pris tapers the worlds would be taken down and HOTFIXED that minute. heh



EDIT: ps wow u play without decal.... massive props to you omg

The bow bug takes as much skill as fast casting...

[ElronOfDarktide]

The thing is..

they just made bow damage about 10x what it used to be with hollow and phantom bows...

that is what exacerbated this problem

fixing bow bug is simple. LIKE FIXING EVERY PROBLEM WITH PVP

While pk flaged characters should NOT be able to jump ever.

think about it. Pvp would be fun again.

Yes, unfortunately, that's pretty much how it goes with all exploits/cheats.

Lol yeah but fast casting is just a small change up. It doesn't kill you instantly.

I don't get what you guys are talking about with saying that a bug allowing mages to shoot tons of war spells would be hotfixed. If everything is catered to mages, wouldn't it be left alone, instead? Maybe I misunderstood that?

If you could just do small hops while under a PK timer, like a bajillion problems would be fixed (some that are not even exploit related), and there would be no harm done.

Would that really fix the machine gun bow bug, though? I don't even know how to do it, except that it involves jumping and putting your back to a (I think slanted) wall, which somehow causes you to shoot like 30 arrows in one second, or something like that.

[Some Guy on DT]

So Justice are allowed to use Bowbug ? another guilde goes down the drain.

[Shadow Esper]

lol its hard to do..and nobody uses it i have been pk for a while now and i havent ever used it nore seen it used. and guess what im an archer :D


and wow man your armor Really sucks unless you wernt baned :P

[Meel]

thats normal dmg from a hollow bow on tinkered armour....
And bow bug has been around since retail....
Bead showed me how to do it back in 00 but he never used it cuz he thought it was lame.
But this bug is totally out of hand now, you can't got to sith without missle def or you will die ..... thats just sick.
Meel.

[ACaddict99]

Yes please fix it, being an archer that does not use this, it is very hard.

People think i should be alot better than i am because bows have this trick.

I would greatly appreciate it if you fixed this, and then gave bows the pvp attention they needed.

It does not seem like it would be a nightmare to fix.

Adjust the way a character slides on a slant.

First of all, considering that you have never seen it or done it, I don't think you would really know if it is hard or not. :confused:

I am pretty sure it isn't too difficult, because most archers I have known were aware of it, and any time there has been lots of fighting in an area with some type of big wall/tower thing, there has been someone who CONSTANTLY uses it.

I am not talking about recently. I am talking about that being the case nearly two years.

People doing it at Sith is like a nightmare. Tons of people fight there. :eek:

To me, this is almost as bad as if something like the machine gun wand war spell bug were left unfixed. It's typically more case specific instead of being a general problem, but people doing it at Sith completely changes that.

[Frank The Knife]

Its gonna be interesting how they fix this one since its an animation exploit.

If I was a mage I would be worried.

[Mal the Mad]

just a quick question, this works pvm as well?? haven't ever tried it nor plan to. just looking for info on it

[Virindi Clown]

Lol yeah, that's the ticket! Make it rampant in PvM so people complain and they fix it! :D

It would surely work in PvM, although I can't think of just a whole lot of monsters that require several dozen arrows to take down. :eek: Of course, if you could get yourself set up for that in VoD...hehe. ;)

You know, that's actually pretty funny. I'm sure there are a lot more places where you could make some sort of use of that in PvM, than in PvP. Have at it.

[ChildoftheKoRn]

They should prolly make this a skill. If you thinka bout it it could be like multistrike for bows. Tone down bow damage have it set to full accuracy then cause as many arrows to shoot out based on skill. Max skill could have like 10 arrows. Of course tone archer pvp. Since this is prolly the only semi-balanced thing. Well that is if its working against mages lol. Melees need shield to provide protection in pvp again so that the arrows dont totaly obliterate them and allow them to be able to fight. Could almost be like split arrow or whatever that **** was from diablo 2

Owell just a thought, VC tell me about the pro's and con's to this cause i know you'll know them ;-)
