arrow_striker Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Well I think addin a bonus of % damage against demi-humans in elite bows is needed since almost all the elite weapons have em... LK spears and swords have a 7% os 5% more damage against demi-humans... SinX daggers have it... champs mace and knuckles have it... why elite bows dont have it?? I think its offensive since the classes that are already kinda most used in PvP like sinx and LK and pallys and others get an elite weapon with a little % damage advantage and snipers that are already not very common and not very usable in PvP dont have it snipers deserve this bonus ... snipers do the elite quest as well so why not havin this added to the bow?? Last time I check the bonus of elite bow was +15 agi +15 dex unbreakable 4 slotted maybe addin the 7% damage against demi-humans will help a little ... Even if most people will said its useless cause no one play snipers on PvP I think it should be added just to be fair with the sniper class Thanks ^^ Take care
arrow_striker Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 Bumpety bump, bump Bumpety bump Look at frosty go-o-o
iHunt Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 This is just like Ninja's elite weapon; The damn Fuuma has int in it. C'mon, that's not even funny. They should add the %, but it won't happen, cause they got "more important" stuff to do. D8
arrow_striker Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Posted July 20, 2008 thanks VapoRub and iHunt I hope this doesnt remain in the background ... a little % damage in the weapon will just make a little diference but it still a diference to narrow the classes disadvantage .. I dont know why it isnt in the first place... I mean cmon...
Ethereal Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I like this idea; snipers are rarely played around the server. I would also have to suggest more weapons for the sniper elite? Because they only get 1 weapon while the LK class has like a lot more.
Sorrow Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Completely agreed...c'mon snipers can't even wear a shield T.T in a low rate this doesn't interfere that much...but in a high rate, not using a shield is a major backlash. And truth be told, a smal change on a iten that is already a custom shouldn't be hard...
iHunt Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Bows are big and you can "defend" with it (imo), so why not add some resistance from Demihumans to the Elite Bow as well? This way it will serve as a shield too. Gravity planned them shield-less, because it's irrelevant in LR, but c'mon, we're in HR now and classes should be balanced. I agree with Ami. There's Bow and there's Crossbow, and they should both be available as ELITE. 8D
arrow_striker Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 nice suggestions everyone ^^ I guess this is goin somewhere and I hope snipers get a little improve around... + % damage some other elite weapon and a little bonus against damage anyway snipers arent shielded ... why not?
iHunt Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 anyway snipers arent shielded ... why not? Because bows are 2 handed? o_oa If that's what you meant.
arrow_striker Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Posted July 26, 2008 and a little bonus against damage anyway snipers arent shielded ... why not? Well I guess you missed the full statement... or my english sucks =P and I cant get the right idea (wich is true xD)
iHunt Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 Well I guess you missed the full statement... or my english sucks =P and I cant get the right idea (wich is true xD) I get it now. xD EITHER WAY, YES TO IMPROVING BOWS.
Sensation Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 I'm in for it too, if I'm correct there are more elite weapons somewhere (try @ii Forsaken Sniper Bow or something close to it) and you'll see 2 item ID's, the items have changed, but the implementation hasn't occured yet. One of the most important reason is that people will cry that they will need to either: - Redo the elite quest to obtain the weapons. - Decard their current weapon. - Are emotionally attached to a sprite which they worked hard for. - Bugs wouldn't be reported, the weapon would be broken and flames would appear out of nowhere. Be patient, some of the team do have lives, school/college and all that. We appreciate the support when we do good things, but supporting us when we do other things would be quite welcome too. This concept WILL be reconsidered and I will talk to Genesis about this again. Balance will be preserved, but if others vote against polls that would balance the game we can't help it, it's called democracy. Again, thanks for your suggestion and idea's.
`asdf Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 i main a sniper and i agree with this suggestion. the elite bow for snipers is quite a disappointment cos i thought it was one handed so you can equip a shield. well i guess not and now im having trouble selling off my shield cos noone needs it. QUOTE (cos it doesn't work for some reason) One of the most important reason is that people will cry that they will need to either: - Redo the elite quest to obtain the weapons. - Decard their current weapon. - Are emotionally attached to a sprite which they worked hard for. - Bugs wouldn't be reported, the weapon would be broken and flames would appear out of nowhere. SUGGESTION 1. well cant u guys just exchange all the bows for the new bow in the maintenance? i mean u urself say u hardly see snipers so there shouldnt be that many around. SUGGESTION 2. making people re-do the enttire quest is harsh. how about a "Oh we have an update to the elite bow, exchange ur current bow with 1k ____ cards to upgrade. please make sure all cards have been unslotted as they will be lost in the exchange process" blah blah. yes, another item id. SUGGESTION 3. making the bow 1 handed so snipers can equip shields or just adding defense bonuses to the bow *yes, someone else's suggestion* btw, sniper/professors as far as i know dont even have a weapon sprite so what are you talking bout when you are going "emotional attached to sprite"? what sprite?
arrow_striker Posted August 2, 2008 Author Report Posted August 2, 2008 ^^ thanks for comment and supportin this idea =D take care & enjoy! ^^
Tamil Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 I fully support this idea, but i'm supporting both, either making it 1-handed so we can use the "Never used" shield, if we can't use the shield and bow, how are we supposed to make the elite combo...WORK? :blink: But yeah, I think if it's not going to be one-handed (Which it looks like since I see Snipers smacking me with their fist from far away with the custom bow (WHICH IS PRETTY LOL XD) it should be one-handed, or give it a composite bow sprite or something and make the bow reduce at least 20% of demi-human damage, that seems balanced since it wouldn't = a Thara/Usakoring. I noticed (Maybe i'm crazy) but i'm pretty sure Snipers got an HP boost, mine has 189k hp... ^^; But yes ..MASSIVE yes to this, I haven't done the quest yet, so i'm just gonna gather my items and wait to see if this update happens, I fully support ya arrow_striker.
Eon Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I agree with all the suggestions. I rarely see any snipers. My main is a sniper and always has been. It would suck to have to make another char because the sniper is underpowered.
Zeitgeist Posted August 16, 2008 Report Posted August 16, 2008 Sounds like something fair to me. We will decide which suggestion will we add to the bow. -Accepted-
