Feedback on the bow
I must admit that I was skeptical of the bows before Forsaken launched. Now that I've had plenty of time to try them out both in PVE and PVP activities, I can now say that Bungie hit the bullseye (heh) with bows.
First of all, the overall [i]feel[/i] of using the bow is amazing: the animation, the sound FX, the sight, the little charge meter near the sight, it's very well designed. I especially enjoy the sound effect of the arrow rattling against the bow as your Guardian is straining to maintain the tension, very nice touch.
Second: bows are very fun to use in both PVE and PVP activities. I like how you can fully draw the bow for a very accurate and powerful shot, or tap the trigger to loose a weak (but fast) arrow for point-blank attacks. I feel like the skill ceiling for this weapon is very high, and I'm always thinking about how to use the bow more effectively in the different activities.
The bow REALLY shines in PVP--I can't stop using it. It's just too much fun! I feel that the bow is perfectly balanced in PVP right now: it can outrange shotguns, SMGs, ARs, pistols, etc, but get smoked by pulse rifles, scouts and snipers. The bow excels in hit-and-run encounters, but can't lock down a lane like a pulse rifle or sniper can. You can beat shotgun rushers if you see them coming or anticipate their movement, but you're at their mercy if they get the jump on you.
Oh, and the sound effect of landing a precision final blow with a bow? Mmmm mmm, so tasty.
My only gripe is that there are only four non-exotic bows (I'm not holding my breath when it comes to getting exotic drops), and it doesn't seem to be great variety of perks for the bows: Explosive Arrows, Sneak, and Archer's Tempo are the only perks I've seen so far. This gripe does not diminish my enjoyment of bows at all--I just want to play with and experiment with different bows. I assume that Bungie will release more bows with different expansions, or (hopefully) release more bows this season as time goes on.
TL;DR: Bows are awesome. If you haven't tried them, then I suggest giving them a shot (heh)!

I hear you. Got the first one and thought... eh... really? Now I can’t remove it from my loadout. I thought scouts matched my gameplay... but the bow just feels so good. And walks the fine line between risk and reward so well. It’s the only weapon I’m consistently upgrading as my LL rises just because it’s become that essential to my gameplay.

Me when I first picked up the bow “I’m not convinced about bows in Destiny, can’t see them bringing anything to the game”. Me about 2 minutes later “Bows are awesome! I am a god with a bow! I am Green Arrow!”. I had a load of masterwork cores so I mastercrafted the first bow I got and within a week I had 9k kills with it! My bow is my answer to everything. I have to agree with you, they have made them very well, they sound good, they feel good, they look good and the handle well...good effort bungie. Now all we need is more variations, I would love to see an over penetrating one that can pierce multiple enemies, or one that can pin dead enemies or their heads to walls etc (like predators spear in AvP)....or am I just being a bit too macabre?!
-
Agreed. They feel very clean. Using one in PvP definitely takes a bit of a learning curve, but I'm loving picking enemies off with it in PvE activities! Really impressed with how bows feel; how a lot of weapons feel in this expansion. For the first time in [i]a really long time[/i] I actually feel powerful using these weapons.

1 返信The only thing I might consider for bows is turn the aim assist down a slight touch, as of right now arrows will bend around shallow corners, other then that they’re decently balanced.

1 返信[quote]I can now say that Bungie hit the bullseye (heh) with bows[/quote] Totally. Best new weapon I have seen for Destiny in a very long time. Overall, I have been very unimpressed with submachine guns and grenade launchers, until recently. Bows, however, are terrific. I love how they feel and look. It really feels like you are shooting a bow. It's a lot of fun to use.

2 通の返信Fully agreed that bows are awesome. I love my Arsenic Bite with explosive tipped arrows and Rampage.

I like bows too and i have played with them a lot my fave one so far is the arsenic bite not because of the draw time , but more because of the ligth weight mobility boost you get the only weakness that bow has in my opinion is the accuracy thats why i am very happy i got one with a master work accuracy. thats the kind of masterwork you want a perk that adresses the weapons weakness. Bows in my opinon have to be treated kinda like a hc in the crucible pvp you have to peek shot pop in and out and make your shots count or you get brutally punished. You also have to treat the bow as a support class. I guess you can lone wolf if you have insane skill. The bow is a weapon i am defenently striving to master i dont like snipers so i treat the bow as my sniper lol.

4 通の返信My only problem with my bows is that I'm not getting any more at higher levels so I can infuse my favorites up. I'm on a very strict - only-infuse-like-named-equipment regimen while MW cores are required for everything else, so I sit patiently waiting for a time when I can use my bow in PvE without hurting my power level...

2 通の返信I used to play an old PC game that was D&D based called NeverWinter Nights. There was a subclass called ShadowDancer. It had an ability called HIPS ( Hide In Plain Sight ). It would activate a quick invisible ability. Now the reason I shared that is the combo of using a bow with HIPS was so much fun. Bungie bringing bows into the game with Spectral Blades has basically given me that old feeling of playing NeverWinter. Shoot an arrow, headshot invis, line up next head shot, land it pop back into invis. Having so much fun with this combo, feel like I’m 18 again playing my old favorite game!
