This still lacks logic to me. I can play for like an hour and have a gun and a scope with ammunition. If arrows were slightly more difficult to make it would be balanced

This can be easily mitigated. Though i still dont see the issue as you still need to collect the items to make the rope or find the rope. That being said just make improvised bows have a low durability. Or you could make feathers and bone neccesary for arrows forcing players to find stones for a knife, chickens for feathers and bone only to end up with like 4 arrows. Suddenly the bow doesnt seem so "overpowered" in comparison to the rifle or pistol you found with a half loaded magazine already in it...

Her honesty was very much appreciated. Giving an excuse like "too powerful for fresh spawns" is no good when you can find a rifle or handgun in the first police station you visit.

Wow thank you for the response. Is sad cuz i miss the bow so much but just to hear back is amazing

@Kyiara any chance we will ever get the craftable bow back? If not i would love someone to at least just say "we have no interest in bringing the bow back" no one has said anything about it since release. Was an enjoyable item back in the good ol dayz

@Kyiara wow ur so communicative, havent seen much of that here. Any idea if craftable bows will be returning at all. Several ppl have asked several ppl but the question always goes ignored. I would have to assume they just dont have the backbone to say "no, we dont care about the craftable bow" as ud think it would be pretty easy to say they dont know or that its being worked on.

Noice! Crossbow. Does this maybe mean we will be getting the craftable bow back in the future?

Vehicles are not more important than bows. Vehicles were not even a thing in the beginning. Back then we had more choice in playstyle it wasnt just run in and get gun and pew pew. Lots of stuff should be behind bows in my oppinion. Vehicles, basebuilding, adding a million other guns and remapping airfields are all great examples of this

Wish someone would just confirm if they are or are not intending on re adding the craftable bow. Even when there is a section devs are responding to, the second anyone mentions he bow they just stop responding. Cmon ppl, nut up. If you intend to abandon the bow just quit bein a bunch of bitches and say "we dont intend to add the bow back into the game. We just want a bunch more pew pew boomsticks cuz they are easier to implement and we dont do things that take real effort" or something. Isnt my game and so im not here to judge what u choose to do or not do with your game but why the secrecy around it. Just have a little transparency.

Bow

Gimme the damn bow lol

Bruh

@scott.bowen

Bump

@scott.bowen ....sooooo.... maybe?

@scott.bowen any chance u know if they intend to bring the craftable bow back at all? I dont need a timeline im just curious if the bow will come back at all or if it has been abandoned.

Awesome! This is still a dayz forum. Thought i was in the wrong place for a minute.

Out of curiosity, when u throw the spear does it throw point first as a spear and do damage on contact? Just curious as i feel the mechanics for that would be very similar to that of the bow

I just want the bow back

Thanks! Just figured id jump on a modded server to see what had been made available. Maybe ill try a vanilla server tonight

Jumped onto sunnyvale 13 to give the game a shot again. Has been a cpl years since i played more then a few mins. Gotta say i still live the game and love the new sounds and stuff but the game runs just aweful. All settings as low as they can go and it runs worse then it did in alpha on my old machine. Just crazy stutters everywhere and a good 2 second freeze every minute or so. Realized when i shut down that the kid has roblox studio running in the backround so fingers crossed that was what was makin it so shitty. Will give it a go again tonight

Please dear god let us get the bow back one day

Any plans to bring back the craftable bow?

None of it matters without the bow. Bring back the bow dammit!

Not saying they shouldnt do anything about it. He is right to let them know about it, but post it on the bug tracker if its still a thing or send it as a message instead of a post, that or dont post a link to the vid and refer to the bug vaguely. The idea is that telling people that dont already know how to cheat may influence more people to do it
