LB after patch visual effects regarding arrow speed reduce my gaming experience because I feel as if the game went into slow motion all of a sudden.

I am not asking for DPS to go up, not at all, just adjust the visuals to give a faster paced game feel to be in line with SB.

While you are at it please do the same for Axe #1 -again its a visual/feel sort of thing.

Hahaha, I thought it was just me. Thanks, Kirito.

I don’t get it. They made things move faster, I’m not sure how that makes it slow-motion gameplay.

LB = Longbow, not sure what you all are thinking, I am talking about the animation speed for LB arrows.

I know they got increased by 30% but LB still look and feel far too slow, when I switch to LB I feel as if the game went into slow-motion due to the slow animation.

We knew you were talking about the longbow, it just sounded like you were complaining that things got slower since the patch, when they actually got faster.

The actually character shooting animation didn’t change at all, though, just the arrows.

Personally, I hate the shortbow because of the animation speeds. Imo, it’s a pretty good speed right now for LB since the patch. It was definitely way too slow before. It’s a pretty large increase in arrow speeds.

I never liked shortbow though, it looks ridiculous firing off arrows like a gatling gun.

I’m not really sure which you are referring to though, the arrows or the attack animation itself.

Its the entire gaming experience but we may not agree since I enjoy the Short-bow animation speed -well the entire gaming experience of that weapon.

I main SB, switch to LB and instantly lose gaming experience due to ‘feeling’ the game slowed down.

Well, that’s the problem, you got used to SB speed and when using LB it seems extremelly slow, which is not.
I find longbow fire rate fine, it’s a longbow not a machine gun. LB is not slow, SB is too fast.

The guy in that vid is using a shortbow, 3-4 feet in length. Longbows were around 6 feet tall and had draw weights of 100+ pounds. Longbow is fine in fire speed.
