Wakefield Archery Tournament

[calicocat]

Can you make the Archery Tournament easier to win? I don’t see very well, and the target is too far away to hit easily. Also, could you make it so that it isn't a requirement to 100 percent Peak District, or make it an optional mission? Thanks.

Did you right click to zoom in?

I was playing with a controller and used RT to shoot. Bow sway is terrible and needs to be fixed. Will try it with mouse when I get time. Thanks.

Bow sway gets better as you unlock accuracy in the skill tree. Also, as you advance to better bows....

[calicocat]

I'm using the level 3 "Solid Bow", and trying the mouse with right-click to focus didn't make the target any closer. Bow sway is still terrible.

Lowering mouse pointer movement helped some, but target is just too far away. Will keep trying, though, and will eventually get it. Am at 95 percent for Peak District and all other areas are 100 percent, and I really want to finish game. Thanks for your help.

Seems quite improbable Achievement due to no Zoom, limited time for aiming and for the whole contest, additionally each arrow trajectory is slightly randomized due to Accuracy parameter and the bullseye (500) is too small.

Things that could help, but are not in the game:
1. Arrow camera for each shot to at least give reference for adjustments for the next shot.
2. Some kind of super accuracy arrows with less arrow drop and no Accuracy impact (removes randomness)
3. Bow zoom
4. Longer slow-down interval and negate arrow hold timer for the duration.

I agree completely. This really needs fixing.

it is quite aweful how randomly arrows fly too high or low due to accuracy parameters.
my highest score was 4x 500, 1x 250.. due to 2 weeks of practicing.
it is quite a gamble, but you have to watch certain things

the exact point to aim at
shoot while! slow-mo is still active (universell armor II helps)
and most important:
watch "Robin's" animation ... there is still movement in his arms even if targeting circle hits
shoot only if he holds his bow still, it must not move a milimeter so you often have to quit aiming and try again... time out is worse after 4 hits at 500 and you cannot shoot the 5th

I started practicing at evening and at night because there is no sun glare on the targets. Also, targets are lit up in the evening and at night, so you can see the colors of the target rings easier and know where to aim at. Am wearing vitality armor now, but will change to universal armor and see if it helps.

I also had the same problem in Medieval Dynasty where I couldn’t hit the target for the 100 yard shot, or 1,000 yard shot, or whatever the longest one is. I was able to skip that archery quest and keep on playing the game. If the devs at Robin Hood: Sherwood Builders would consider making the Archery Tournament optional, it would greatly help myself and other players who are struggling to complete the game because of this.

Can you retry the Archery Tournament without loading?

[IM4XS]

no, you have to reload

[Twinsen]

Has the developer indicated any interest to address the perfect score for the tournament or archery mechanics?

Most realistic (and easiest) solution would be to require at least two perfect shots out of five for "The Professional" Achievement (Score: 1750)

Or is this game abandoned in this state?

last tip for archery tournament i found out:
set "character-mouse-movement" to minimum

Yes, at evening the target cicles are quite more visible... not night, but evening
