all i want is the improvised bow...

if there is no bow, its a no go. add all they want, no reinstall untill they bring my craftable bow back

they added the flying pan? how did they miss that in the patchnotes?

reads as an awesome update, love that leathercraft is back. now u just need to bring back the bow.

if 1.10 has the bow then they are forgiven. if not....

^this

is it possible that the rates of fire are different? or different recoilamounts/patterns? just because it is easier for you to use one gun to kill people than the other doesnt mean that it does more damage per shot. maybe you are hitting more consistantly with one then the other. maybe the fights took place in different lighting conditions or distances. maybe ur victims had different amounts of armor or were hit in different places. there are tons of variables here and unless tested in a controlled environment the arguement that one does more damage than the other is pretty hard to demonstrate. not to mention if it were true that identicle rounds were doing different damage ammounts from different rifles i would imagine it would be something that should be on the bug tracker

....try the console section of the forum. personal oppinion tho..... the reason the console version isnt as good as pc lies in the fact that consoles themselves suck in comparison.

wow good sciencing. have some beans.

i mean thats cool and all but i just want a craftable ranged weapon. i loved the improvised bow. kinda wondering how many people even remember it. i would guess at this point most of the old crowd of players has moved on and been replaced with people who have never had a chance to even experience crafting ur bow and goin huntin with it. leathercraft was always nice too. my favorite dayz life i scooped rocks from the beach, looted houses till i had enough rags to make a rope and off into the Bush with improvised bow. grew food and hunted untill i realized i had a solid system for survival and needed goals. by the time of my death i had set up a small camp (really just a barrel, small tent, firepit, gardens) and no longer wore any clothing that i had not crafted from fallen game. i even took the extra time to find nails (not sure why it was nails) to dye it all black. those were the good ol' days

....damn.... still no bow

i would imagine that a large update would take a lot more effort than a smaller one. in theory they could release one large update that takes 10 months to put out and then 4 small additions in 4 seperate updates after that and they would still be releasing 5 updates this year. 5 updates a year does not necessarily mean an update every 2-3 months. if that was what they meant then would they not have said "we are planning a new update every couple months this year"? in summary: the next update will be released when it is ready

posts like this used to be so common. often illustrated by amazing screenshots. those were the good old days. i miss the day we could hop onto the forum to find such epic stories of survival. thanks bro or sis.

you speak for no one. do i wish they would release another patch? yes. i would also like the bow back. would i allow someone to rudely demand the patch because they feel entitled to it now on my behalf? not you, not anyone. i can speak for myself thank you.

try and single out some zeds. often when u kill them they have food in their inventory and they are easy to kill one at a time

fair enough. it definately would be better if they had a few moderated servers for people to get their toes wet with.

rust and ark are both incredably popular and no one moderates their official servers. gta5..... 50% scripters. havent played much red dead online but guessing is probably similar. my point is that there are plenty of games with official servers that get no attention from their devs. id guess probably far more than there are games that do get attention. Is just oppinion but i dont think the issue is official servers. i think the real issue might just be stubborn players not realizing that this is not by far the only game where community servers are where the best experience is. this forum is riddled with posts of people complaining that theu dont want to play on community servers cuz they dont want mods yet there are tons of vanilla servers, even good ones. toms of posts of people worrying that the server will go down because its not official, yet there are tons of popular servers that have been up for a long time and will be for long time to come. i understand everyones frustration but the issue can EASILY be solved by spending a game session or 2 trying a few community servers and finding somewhere to call home.

literally the greatest thing i have read since 1.0 dropped. just to know they are even working on bows is huge news. this gets my heart thumpin again

unfortunately for me all of this will be overshadowedby the lack of bow. am trying to be optimistic but we are almost 8 patches past official release. new emgine or not, starting over or not.... they should be looking at getting all pre release content back in before adding anything else. broken bones would be nice to have again but basebuilding..... should not be tweaked, worked on, or even looked at untill they have all of yhe prerelease content. am optimistic but skeptical. thinkin ima give it till 1.10 maybe? although who knows. i pretty much tell myself every patch that this one will be the last for me if there is no bow....

just because you choose not to use the bow does not make it useless. it opens a whole new playstyle. as of right now all that is being worked on is guns, cars, bases, and glitches (keep ironing out the glitches). this in my mind only sends the game farther down the pew pew road that it is already on and completely ignores the players that dont care about pew pewing at nw. the players that play to survive. the people who hit the first town they find and then try to avoid towns and cities altogether for 10+ hours of gameplay. craftable weapons in my mind and the minds of many others are hugely important and should not be forgotten. not to mention the awesome ability to kill zeds from a distance without attracting attention. we have enough guns, if you are going to leave anything out make it helicopters. there is no need to add a way to cross map in 3 mins. we need to slow the game down and bring back the people that are playing to survive instead of all these cod players that are here for another br style game.

dear god what i wouldnt give to have the bow back. that being said im starting to think it may never come back. other than posts saying we miss it i dont think it has been mentioned at all since it was removed and called a 'flavor feature'. kinda seems like that item that they know they will never add back in but dont want to tell us so every time you ask directly about it they say "holy shit look at that squirrel!" drop a smoke bomb, and peace out before you can ask the question a second time.

fair enough actually. i can see your point and even agree with you on many points as it can def be frustrating to build something awesome and find it gone. i have just always used ark as my building game and play dayz in a much different way. i need to realize that many ppl have a far different playstyle than myself and that the beauty of dayz is that there is no right way to play it. i get where you are coming from tho. if i put in the effort to have an actual base in dayz im sure id prob end up pretty salty about it pretty fast.

snip

finally someone with a reasonable suggestion. these threads pop up constantly with ppl whining that its too easy to destroy their bases. its sposed to be a reslistic survival simulator is it not? im tired of reading "my base should be invincible, i should be able to build where everyone can see me without consequence." yourbase should be as safe as the hiding spot you place it in. id agree with making it take a little longer or making it take a cpl hatchets to get in but i dont think it should be much harder than that

i counted one solid hit foresure, some complete misses, then one more probable hit. i would say it shoulda been a kill but i wouldnt say he had half a magazine in his head. i guess he had one hell of a strong bandana/cowboy hat.
