Bow and Arrow

[elbeti]

So I headshot a guy with a carbon arrow and a 60# bow from 10 meters and he didn't die. After that, he ran to me like nothing had happened and killed me with a shotgun.

I know I hit him because he was standing still and had the arrow stuck to his head while running to me.

My character had 5 str and advance archery.

Afaik you need a 90 or 100 pound bow to 1-shot a player with helmet and vest?

[elbeti]

Yes, he had helmet and vest but the game MUST reward plays like this due to the difficulty of using primitive weapons. Same for the upcoming throwing skill etc. I mean, I sneaked up to this guy really close and that wasn't easy. I knew I was dead if he saw me.

The bow was weak and the arrow was decent.

The topic here is Realism or Fun.

Well, if you sneak up on someone, just throw a wooden spear. It kills people with one shot to the chest, no matter what protection is equipped.

Regarding bows, it kinda makes sense that only the strong ones pierce armor. The weaker ones are for hunting, levelling archery and for chars with low strength. For the higher end ones, i would suggest to upgrade the adjustable hight tech bow to a maximum draw weight of 90 (currently 80?). Just to increase the amount of bows that are actually usable in pvp.
