Flashlights On Bows

[Llyssa]

I've said before, long ago, that I wanted flashlights on bows to actually point forward. They do not.

 

However, something I realized recently: on non-bow weapons, the flashlight points where the camera aims, not where the weapon aims. This means you can point the flashlight at your warframe's face and still have your weapon pointing the opposite direction.

 

In light of the fact that weapons have NO connection to the flashlight at all, can we *please* have bows standardized? It makes NO sense that I can point the flashlight at my face with a regular gun, but can't point it forward with a bow.

I would rather it be the other way around. I like having the flashlight connected to the weapon. It just makes more sense to me.

Have you actually seen what the flashlight does on the bow? It's completely useless, pointing at the floor at all times, unless you're specifically aiming with the bow. It may as well not exist for all the good it does. =(

I like having it act that way. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe an option would be good to choose between camera based flashlight and weapon based flashlight.

 I totally agree with that. 

 I have to agree as well with the statement that it is useless. But attaching the flashlight to the gun should be the way to go.

 To appease both sides the game could be tweaked a bit on the sense that the flashlight is then attached to either the WarFrame's helmet or waist.

 I could also suggest making the WarFrames to be trying to point always where the mouse is, but that kind of destroys the "idle" animations and stances. I would prefer this one if implemented correctly.
