Exploding Arrows(Fire Arrows)
 

Could this feature please be added back into the game? It was so useful I don't see what probably it exactly created that it had to be complained about/ removed from the game entirely. Like come on it gave the bombs another use besides breathing fire from mounts and throwing them at people/blowing things up. It gave you the ability to launch explosives like in reality. Could we please get this back?

Well...
You can only shoot a limited amount of arrows now, so you would have to time the shots perfectly.

I believe the ammount of arrows you can shoot consecutively is seven now.

The exploding arrow was no doubt imo the only real thing that made farming ...convenient, sure it costed more to buy more bombs and arrows. But for its uses it was no doubt worth it. It made it more easier for newer players to farm without needing a mount.

From what I'm told it was removed due to it being used for PK. Which if that was the case, they had way better ways to fix that. For example just make it not possible to use in the open world. But allow it in houses. Or make it not damage people in the overworld. Even the fix to not using as many bows and arrows anymore would somewhat help that. I hope they add it back.

OH so they used the Ol' "Pkers can use this to boost " lmao whatajoke. I also heard Dusty said. it was a glitch lmao or. in other words was left over code from the original game xD

It being a difficulty is irrelevant tbh.

Ikr, I think it was Milo who said it was a glitch, I have screenshots of her trying to convince me it was a glitch.which clearly was not a glitch because it was literally scripted to happen when you did that. And even had it's entire animation of a Arrow on fire when you did it which means someone had to make it look that way. And also another few reasons it isn't a glitch because it was a concept in the original Zelda games.

Personally I feel like the real reason they removed it so it forced people not to farm and instead buy gralats.

Add this back, this gave us a new method to farm and now it's gone.

Does anyone know when this ability/method was taken out? I knew about it around 2015

It was taken out around October of 2016 i think not 100% sure.

lmao **** farming. I just wanna use this in guild forts again lol. and wow yeah it was left over code from the original game lol. could you show me those screenshots via private message?

What even is the point of bomb and arrow cool downs? Placing 99 bombs around a tower does like nothing but kill some people including your teammates

Impedes movement, thus impeding game flow., especially in a tower.

But I digress, you don't have infinite amounts of bombs.

Arrows were easier for boosting with before there were cool downs.

even with the arrow cool down this feature was very a very useless removal. it was a great feature to use on people in towers and fun

Indeed. I honestly haven't been having any issues with the arrows this past week. I'm pking near that bridge by the sky chapel and just by mindlessly firing my arrows across the bridge I'm getting at least 1-2 kills every time.

I think, if I look at it this way, the fun part about there being a cool down is once I shoot six arrows, I can simply use my sword to pk or reduce others' HP. If they run away across the bridge they get hit by my arrows in the back. I like having to switch back and forth between arrows and sword, I just have more fun not losing all my arrows too fast, and switching back and forth caters to how I like to play, which is 'transitional warfare', if you would.

that actually sounds fun lol. and I agree in every way. plus what if you could just launch exploding arrows instead at then across the bridge xD

That sounds wonderful lol. I honestly don't think fire arrows would be that bad with the cool down, but the problem is with the explosion of the fire arrows. You'd be able to hit many people at once, which isn't even a big deal and would help out in tight tower corridors, but if the whole point of eradicating this feature was to reduce boosting or impediment perhaps it's understandable. But I digress, again; I think it was still a fun feature to have and wouldn't be nearly as annoying with the cool down.
