Boltslinger's arrows feel too slow | Wynncraft • MMORPG Minecraft Server | Page 1

Please make Arrow Storm's arrows faster, thank you
I have been playing Boltslinger recently, and have noticed something that annoys me an unreasonable amount, but still bothers me. As it turns out, the arrows that spawn when you cast arrow storm are either so slow, or spawn so close to the player, that they appear behind the player when running forwards with stormy feet. This causes a lot of them to actually bounce back off the player when running directly forwards, and the problem only gets worse when walk speed from frenzy is added onto the players regular speed. My suggestion is to make the speed of arrows shot by Boltslinger's spells a lot higher, or to just adjust the spawn location of the arrows depending on movement speed to still have them appear in front of the player even with more than base mobility. Thanks.
Here's a video that kinda shows what happens, but it's not the best display. This is mostly frustrating against bosses where you can't stay close to them for too long.

My frustrations with Boltslingers arrow speed

I really don't like how slow these arrows are. They're arrows, they're meant to be fast, right? Then why in the lords name can i almost outrun them with barely any movement speed?

Yeah, So you could run at something and do damage and then rapidly back off, now, you run at something and take more damage than you dealt and it just feels frustrating compared to sharpshooter's instant arrow storm

Then get phantom ray

#

To me it doesnt look like theyre slow

#

Rather, instead of shooting from the plsyer like they did previously

#

They just shoot from where they were casted

#

Whih is jist as annoying tbh

manic axle To me it doesnt look like theyre slow

They're slow enough for me to outrun them, and besides, I'm trynna play bolt for that same gameplay feeling that old archer gave me, but it just does not work, cause my arrows don't go forwards, they just stick to me, or bounce off my back xD

yeah

#

I mean they do kinda follow you, but it's always way behind too

manic axle Dec 31, 2022, 1:08 PM

#

Idk try going slower

#

Lol.

#

Yeah old archer was fun D:

Ive never really got into bolt because of recoil

bleak island Dec 31, 2022, 1:10 PM

#

That kinda sucks too

#

Elusive really doesn't help

#

interesting, never noticed this, altho ig i never look behind me (also dang thats a lot of speed, looks as fast as my dedicated speed build)

stoic thicket interesting, never noticed this, altho ig i never look behind me (also dang that...

I tend to check f5 a lot, and also, i barely saw any arrows in front of me when running, so then i spotted them behind me
I just run with stormy feet and like 40% ws (Which is perfectly reasonable with archer) and this happens and I'm bothered by it

Honestly feels like an archer has too much speed problem than arrows are too slow problem

Wrong fix: the issue is With frenzy being dumb

red hearth Dec 31, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

Frenzy is dumb but fun

#

Especially on a WS Strati build, you cast one arrow storm on a decently tanky mob then you’re breaking the sound barrier

#

bolt doesnt need faster arrows because its more of a shotgun class

#

it does insane damage from up close and making it comparable from a far distance would only make it better

red hearth Dec 31, 2022, 5:31 PM

#

scenic grail it does insane damage from up close and making it comparable from a far distance...

The issue is when you’re trying to chase an enemy down so you can shotgun, your arrows fall behind you

#

Its not about range, its about being able to actually shotgun. 1.20 arrow storm was way more reliable with what hit which made it overall more fun

#

Whether thats because its less recoil, arrow spread, arrow speed, or all of the above, Bolt just feels worse to play

stoic thicket Dec 31, 2022, 5:44 PM

#

increase recoil so you dont go forward as much with arrow storm 👍

#

easy solution :troll:

#

dunno im not having the same problem

#

clearly just an issue of skill 👍 👍 like

#

This seems like another reason why Elusive Sucks :)

#

But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of the reason why you outrun the arrows is because Elusive removes the recoil
Still though, I wouldn't really be apposed to a change like this ig

#

(I mean, recoil is 90% of the reason why I don't play bolt lmao)

#

Though on the topic of frenzy: Have they changed its description to be it loses 20% overtime or no?

#

Since it originally said it lost 40%ws but its basically always been 20% from what I remember

stoic thicket Dec 31, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

idk why people mind recoil honestly, its just free boost upwards when escaping

bleak island Dec 31, 2022, 8:07 PM

#

stoic thicket

I assume you don't have elusive stormy feet or literally any ws at all cause just stormy feet causes it to happen for me

stoic thicket Dec 31, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

i have stormy feet

#

no elusive cuz not enough points in the tree to get down there (+ no reason getting it)

#

ws is default

#

that is with frenzy too, i cut out a part earlier where i got frenzy

bleak island Dec 31, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

That is... extremely strange then cause you know, you saw how bad the effect was for me

stoic thicket Dec 31, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

true!

#

ah i noticed it at 156% frenzy + stormy feet

#

(i shot a bunch of lutho citizens)

stoic thicket idk why people mind recoil honestly, its just free boost upwards when escaping

Yea thats the issue, it hurts when actually trying to hit things, but its also fun as hell to use to get places that Archers normally couldn’t

manic axle Jan 1, 2023, 5:31 AM

#

stoic thicket increase recoil so you dont go forward as much with arrow storm 👍

O shit

#

I gootta drop elusive now D:

I could be wrong but i believe the arrows hitting you doesn't matter and they will hit anyway as it is a visual bug
