Bow Strings

If this has already been mentioned, then sorry. Also, if this is in the wrong section, then please move.

Anyways...I am here to add a suggestion for Guild Wars in general. Where are the bow strings? It sort of defeats the object of realism. Im not having a go or anything (just incase people are taking me the wrong way), but it would be nice to actually see bow strings.

Maybe even if you could see bow strings, that if, for example, i had a "Shocking Bow String", then why not have a bow string that emits little electrical sparks or something.

Anyway, thats it from me.

Just thought it would be nice to actually see bow strings, instead of them being invisible

Thanks

Coulda sworn I posted in a thread exactly like this just yesterday...in the bug section.

yeah you did

i thought that i better put it in teh correct section as the other one wasnt moved.

But if you had an Ebon string, it would be made of rock...which wouldn't "twang" very well.

There have indeed been posts on this before, I for one am happy with the way the game is. The game doesn't need many more graphical enhancements in my opinion, it would be overkill.

lol

well haveing effects on the bow string was just an example, but mainly i think it would be better to have a bow string at least.

I am guessing that although called bowstrings they arn't really that.

I mean that's the one part of a bow "admittedly in the real world" that you can take on and off all the time.
In fact you do not walk around with a bow strung anyway, must be some sort of other device that empowers the string somehow.

If it was an actual string we would carry all the different effects around with us and change at will instead of multiple bows.

Would that be a good thing ?

btw about time they brought in crossbows too, stick it under expertise skill for the rangers, since its mechanical.

I don't think rangers should have bows with string on them. Just think how much more damage they'd be able to do if they were given such a luxury.

Anyway, I myself suggested this idea, and it seems we'll just have to wait until GW2 comes out. The game looks beautiful enough for the year it was made in, so the lack of a bowstring is excusable.

Wait for GW2.
As of now the bow string is too small of a graphic to be concerned about.
Also not everybody has a hot system running Guild Wars, so the bow string may be a bigger interference to the player if it's just giant pixels.
