SethAbercromby Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Indeed, now, if only the orthos was an actual polearm instead of the giant Q Tip it is currently. No offence to your design DE, but I'd love it if you released a single bladed orthos skin. How about a Naginata or Spear type weapon? I'd like to see some melee action where the wepon is focused on keeping the enemy at distance. Normal strikes would be armor piercing thrusts and the charge attack woud be a wide swing capable of kocking down multiple enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF5AQX Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Seriously, someone needs to message Steve or Rebecca about this. I want to know if we can stop stealth bumping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesSnippy Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'll get on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesSnippy Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Rebecca says she's passed it on to the weapons team, so you don't need to worry about stealth bumping, no guarantee of it getting in the game mind you, so don't get too excited.

KF5AQX Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Well, at least we can relax with the bumping. And cross our fingers and hope. But we'll do it in a relaxed manner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesSnippy Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm gonna stealth bump it anyway. Like a total space ninja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]Rebecca Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 As Charles said, a feature request is in for more sophisticated bow-play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revizion Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 This is an awesome idea! I would much prefer it be a new bow made with the mechanic/technique from the YT video in mind from the ground up.

Moomabo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Great idea, I give it my full support. Plus one for you sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreviore Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 A method I could see of keeping this balanced it giving the bow an alternative fire, where you fire 3 arrows in a burst, and by using it, it puts you in an extended cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesharin Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I really like this idea for the bow and approve of it. The bow at current time is not bad really but I have noticed that when I use the bow my kill count compared to my friends is decent but not what they achieve (don't get me wrong I'm not trying to complain that the bow is bad I love using it) because the bow's fire speed and travel distance this idea would balance this to some extent and just plain look epic.

paul62626 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 maybe to load the arrows you can just click your fire button instead of holding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we don't need a new weapon for that we could just somehow ask the creators to do that. But still good idea though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesSnippy Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 this is what I want http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lttbhut0tm1r5yuawo1_500.jpg No, not even close. Well, kinda, in the video you can't really see it, but basically Mr. Anderson would hold up to a dozen or so arrows in his firing hand and slip them either up of down onto the string to reload rather than performing the long and time consuming process of pulling a new one from the quiver, this has essentially given his bow a clip size, while impacting his damage rather little (that said, there is no word yet on how well this would work with a long or war bow, though in theory it'd be the same, with obviously lower fire rates due to the higher draw time on longbows and warbows.

So we could have Silly generic arrow loosing The same, but prime (until/unless prime weapons are turned into skins...!) Silly generic arrow loosing (w/slashing damage!)

sneakatone Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Personally I like the bows quite a bit. They're fun, damaging, facking awesome, and could only be more visceral if the despair literally bisected the enemy from chunky Grineer bollocks to their forehead. That said, I saw this ( ) video on youtube a while back (posted by a delightful fellow in a different bow feedback thread) and decided that a bow rework could be really good, on top of that, a bunch of other people were *@##$ing about it so I guess I kind of have to make a suggestion other than mindlessly trumpeting "get better" over and over again. Essentially, the idea would be that the Tenno, being warriors and fond of the old ways would be utilising the same archery method which Hawkeye from the video I mentioned half a paragraph ago has perfected. Bows would receive increased fire rate in return for an actual clip size. Which has little effects on the actual overall output but would mimic the feel of letting lose three arrows in the space of the amount of time the Grineer would have to S#&$ his pants. The arrows would be held in the hand which would also fire the bow. If you wanted to be complete badasses you could work some sort of hold down reload to increase the number of arrows your space ninja reaches for when it's time to grab some more from his/her quiver. I'd quite like that, as you could plonk yourself down for a while and get more arrows in your next "clip", or hardly even take a breath in exchange for less. Ultimately though, this is a community driven game so I'm going to turn to the players and make this suggestion on the forums rather than mailing bags of my own feces to the developers with post it notes depicting a S#&$ty (heh) drawing of Lars Anderson stuck to it. I thought of the same thing after watching this vid. I think bows should have a initial magazine of 3 (which it is just 3 in the shooting hand. the bows fire one by one) and when you reload your hand just gets the bows back. It will still require charging time for power but takes less time. The DE should put this as a new mechanic for bows or make it a weapon mod. But yea I completely agree they should incorporate these techniques in the bows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt313 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Not sure if this should be a change to the Bows themselves, a new Bow-exclusive mod, or perhaps a new Bow concept entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
