Concerns about archery

My concern is that we will not see the breaking of bows :frowning:

Any reason why we would?

Because it was said, that weapons will break and I hope not to see breakable weapons only in terms of numbers and texts but visually appealing.

I could see the string snapping, but the bow it’s self breaking would be quite unlikely unless it was hit by a sword.

A snapping string is fine too :slight_smile:

If they do add something like that i hope it will not be a random occurance, that usually translates to poor/frustrating gameplay.

you have a duarbility for each weapon. I assume it will break, string will snap if you span and hold a bow with a durability near 0.

The reason why we keep bringing up those old videos, or new videos of the old Beta, is that is what has been advertised to us. The ones saying it has changed are the faboys who want to believe it has improved. The developers might have said “oh this or that has been worked on” but when was the last time you trusted what a developer has said. Its their job to sell games, and I’ve seen far too many developers lie though their teeth to sell a game (e.g. no mans sky). Bethesda. ID. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, are all guilty of it.

So when we’re shown a video of game play and the developers them selves are backing it, that’s what were expecting to get. Companies like Egosoft have seen thier over hyped games fail monumentally, thier games were eventually fixed based on customer feedback, but by then the damage had already been done and no one wanted to play, even after the fixes.

We will not know for sure until release, but i’m not going to shit on Warhorse simply because the industry is saturated by bad business practices. I don’t feel like i’m being lied to here, the devs have been very open about any setbacks they’ve had (blacksmithing, dog companion etc.). This attitude of “boo hoo all game developers are lying assholes” is pointless and helps nobody.

Really WHS is transparent and is showing every bit of progress but must be careful to not spoil much. There can be doubts but I would not compare them to other fake studios which just showed concept, since KCD is already a game on its own in Beta and showed in streams that there is more, and what’s more, these developers made some good games before. But this is not concern about archery. So off topic.
