Hello,
Can we change the sound of the bow for the archer combat skill? Something that sounds more like a bow. Please :) :o :D
Maybe consider it? :D thank you!

I am curious, which bow do you personally feel it should sound like? recurve bow? Longbow? Short bow? Compound bow? I assure you, they sound very very different. I often hunt with a recurve bow. I do not feel it sounds too far off now. I will make an effort to listen tonight for a comparison. I ask because it seems to me to sound like one of those now in my experience.Quote:

But now that you've mentioned the above im going to go back and try different bows and see if it changes the sound. I hadn't notice that but you might be right.
I believe there is some confusion about my meaning. What I meant was, the skills right now sound exactly like my real life 6 ft recurve bow does. It sounds very similar to the sounds in-game when I use it. So when I asked how you wanted it to sound, I was asking what real-world bows sound, would you like the in-game bow to sound like?Quote:

Especially since it seems real life bows hardly make a whistle sound unless its a special arrow it seems. I think it could use an adjustment in game. Maybe the sounds will get another pass with the animation ( and hopefully spell effect revamp in the future * fingers crossed*)Quote:

Yeah, because bows do not whistle. Arrows certainly do. I am not sure how you feel my very common bows are special. You are confusing the sound an arrow makes with the sounds the bow makes. I am a little surprised to see you request changes without being familiar with these basics.Quote:

Accidental repeat.
