No they wouldn't. We have guns. And arrows don't generate themselves; where would we store them?

How does a bow work?
-load arrow
-'charge'/aim
-release
Sun shards do that on an 8-direction strike. Bows sound like a 1-direction useless version of them.

@Juances: Better
@Juances: Better yet;
-Aim
-Fire
-Has Limited range
-Hold down button to charge a stronger attack.
HEY WAIT A MINUTE; DOESN'T THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?!
OH NOPE DOUBT IT, SOUNDS TOTALLY ORIGINAL.

arrow in the eye..
I don't think bows would work, mainly because you need >TWO< hands to use a bow in the first place, rendering your shield useless. Then again it could just be a Crossbow but even after that who is going to make a new weapon type with nothing that special about it. The only think I can think is if it were a mix of bomb/gun with the charge and the firing projectiles and maybe an annoying knockback but its still not worth it for a new weapon type, maybe a weapon though. ~Etherx has dominated this thread with pure awesomeness!~

@Etherx
Same with bombs. Shield are carried on the wrist area, not the held by the hand.
But anyway, bows are still useless.
bows = useless versions of a gun

Wow really guys...
It would be funny if the Game Devs are working on bows right now while you mock this suggestion.
@Etherx you need >TWO< hand to pick up and place a bomb you also need >TWO< hands to grab object.
@Juances why does it have to be like that, think outside the box. If everything in this game worked the way it should this wouldn't be much of a game.
@Pladypus come on man you have a imaginative mind and you can think of anyway to make this idea fit into the game?
@Psychodestroyer the arrows will come from the same place every other gun get its ammo from (Calahan, Blitzneedle, antiguas, ect) either that or they can just appear. :\ its not like its not possible in this game because they are high tech knights and some guns look as if they just recharge their bullets why do bows have to be any different in terms of ammunition restoration?
I say any weapon can be a good idea as long as they add a new type of game play and is balanced
I think this is a pretty good idea.
there can be different types of bow that shoot exploding arrows and such and the charge attack can be that you shoot arrows into the air that fall that inflict some sort of status effect.
3* bow shoots 1 arrows at a time
4* bow shoots 2 arrows at a time (spread shot)
5* bow shoots 3 arrows at a time (spread shot)
Oh! here's a cool idea arrows stick into your enemy the more arrows that stick into your foe the higher chance to inflict the bows status.
arrows vanish from the enemy after 4 seconds.
you can shoot 1 shot per second.
example; i shoot you with about 3 arrows it increases the chance for you to get stunned, frozen, shocked, set on fire with every shot?
if you stand still while shooting your shots are stronger and go farther rather than if you are moving while firing. (sort of like the difference in damage of a Polaris at long range and short range)
just spit balling ideas. :3
I honestly don't see how this is a fail idea... Its new, fresh and interesting if you think about it... also i think it would be rather cool seeing other ranged weapons besides guns...

And you're saying this isnt a waste of the dev's time?
But I guess you're right. Who know? If the devs manage to create endless mission runs, im pretty sure everything else in the suggestion forums might appear in-game too.

/ontopic
Anyway, I'm not a massive fan of bows tbh. I guess we could have a one-handed crossbow, but... there doesn't seem to be much point, when we already have guns which do pretty much the same thing.

i agree, bows would fit the game. it would have to be energy arrows or something similar to that.

Blandaxt has a continuing history of completely useless "I like this" necro bumps. Judging by how Blandaxt "responds" they seem to never actually read the thread, just the title.

What would a bow do that a gun couldn't, besides adding on a stereotypical, medieval tone to the game?

Crossbows
I think crossbows would be best.

You'd just add vials to the arrows then they'd be better.

The arrows are just like bullets. I mean where do we keep bullets?

Well,
Made three posts with out using edit, Didn't bother to read the thread. And also, you made a "Good" thread earlier. So, it's expectied, also, due to some Newb trobles earlier, we have become more "Hostile" to idiotic threads and posters.
Welcome to suggestions. Either you toughen and smarten up, or you end up like Dougknight. If you need to cry, go to the graveyard.

its worth a thought
what's about this:
normal shots can go *through* enemies and deal piercing or at least particially piercing damage.
charge attacks could shoot more and stronger shots and give an explosion at the end of range.
because of the mass effect, each single shot is much weaker than guns.
you shoot high-tech energy based arrows that uses the energy mist in the clockwork to regenerate (like the bullets of guns).
in generel it would be a status orientated weapon that gets it effect by hitting multiple enemies even in the back row at distance.

Piercing effect
Supposedly that is what Callahan is intended for.
It should not have a status because being able to go through a target and still damage something after the initial bullet hits is powerful enough unless the base damage is <70% of Valiance.
Mié, 06/13/2012 - 14:04
#33
True
But think about the cost. It would be easier for newbs to get their hands on. There would also be different types that deal different damage like shadow or elemental.

ARGH
I thought we were electronic and metallic? Why not add a medieval weapon, because that goes along great with the story.

Sounds a bit overpowered for a bow...
"normal shots can go *through* enemies and deal piercing or at least particially piercing damage"
This alone is strong, similar to the Alchemer gun line except they always go through targets.
The status effects would also make it really powerful and the explosion would result in something like this(Image below...)

Think about it...
Bow or Crossbow it think if was just a normal arrow it wouldn't deal much damage since many monsters are armored. The idea would probably have to be like Green Arrow's arrows, ranging in ability. Anyway, your idea for the status effects may not be true if they were just stun or ice. If still having the possibility of being extremely catastrophic as you showed, you'd have to tone down the damage dealt out.

AP and Sentenza charges go
AP and Sentenza charges go *through* their target and deal Elemental or Shadow and formerly piercing damage. I've got a counter to everything, now please stop trying to justify this thread and graveyard it.
Or would it? Did you really think this through? They can't just read this and post new content instantly. There's the design, the mechanics, the coding, the bugs. Is it really worth it?
