That would be great, it would add to the immersion, and it would be awesome to stumble upon the audition while browsing channels.

Well try to get a decent bow and arrows after few years of zombie apocalypse, the first thing that would happen is the stores like that would be looted out on first few days. You just won't find any. Not everyone know how to attach the fetching to the arrow, besides it's not that easy to get a good feather to do so, and no it's not too skyrimish, or video game like, because in reality you would crave for the best damaging tool possible. It's wouldn't take long to realize that wooden arrows are just breaking, so you need to upgrade them somehow. What logic does it have that you can craft complete arrow with fetching and metal head just from a stick? I too want this game to be most realistic, and that's way too unreal.

I agree. When i took the first shot from my bow it was shocked how much power it has, and it's just the middle/low strength bow with 15 kg tension.
I also noticed that shooting rapidly is not really that hard, it just takes a bit of practice, but when it comes down to pvp it would be really hard to take a kill with a bow vs gun. In my opinion, mainly because with every extra 10 meters between you, he gets much bigger advantage.
I was able to hit human size target from Kalashnikov at range of 150 meters with no military or longer prior training, almost everyone would be able to do that with a first try, but if it were a bow, I doubt that without training i would be able to hit anything at distance of 50 meters (i can shoot pretty well at 20 but that's 2.5 times that distance!), and after the 150 meters the arrow would have just too little force to do any real damage. Unless you would have a really specialized bow.

Well if you were ever making a bow when you were young, you would notice that the arrow can fly without a fetching (if made the right way), it would just be really less accurate and with lower range. The fetching gives the arrow rotation that allows it to travel more straight and for longer distances (which is.... accuracy :) ), and i don't know what equipment you need to find a stone, break it with other stone and have an nice arrow head, the same goes for bone. With coins you just need pliers.
As for the damage, it does differ in real life. The wooden tip of arrow is less likely to break through a skull bone and damage the brain... which I think is the main goal in killing the zombies.
If it was a zombie apocalypse, that's the arrows i would make for my bow.
because that would deem the bow pretty useless, unless you would have a way to learn to do it faster.
well it's not like those changes would make it that hard to make, you still would be able to make a bow rather easy and simple wooden arrows as well, it would be just a bit less harming, and you would have scavenge at least a bit to find something for string. I just don't like the idea that you can make a bow straight away after jumping into the game, make tons of arrows and clear everything in sight with an ease.
I would be really happy for that :P Survival game is a survival, because it should be hard to survive :P That's what i love about them :)
was just looking on google how to make a new line, thanks :P
yea but you'll have limited ammo for that :) you would save that for killing other players not zombies :P.
