    Good point, there could be some interesting things "F" could do for an archer.

    I've been waiting to talk about this until archer balance talk calmed down... so i guess now is as good of a time as any.

    I would personally LOVE to see "F" being a firing mode menu. Firing modes you ask?

    1. Double shot. Takes twice as long to charge. Fires 2 arrows at same time, but both are NOT aimed at your cursor. 1 would be about 30 degrees higher than cursor, second would be about 30 degrees below cursor. Would be great for suppression fire, as well as give archers a *chance* at perhaps hurting a very close approaching shielded knight, but extended charge will essentially give you 1 chance only.

    2. Quick shot. Does not have a charge (shoots on click), shoots relatively straight, can only do .5 heart dmg. It would have a cool-down before shooting again however.

    3. Normal shot, as it is now.

    Of course, if fire arrows are implemented, "F" would be the ideal place to use them as well.

    Good idea! And maybe like someone said up there, there could be a fire arrow option, and ice arrow, stun arrow, lock-on arrow. There are lots of ideas, but we would need lot;s of materials. Like water, and gravel (Flint, yuss, like Minecraft), maybe mana would be introduced.

    And also I do not think quick shot needs recoil, but I think it wouldn't go far. Maybe if like your shooting down on someone.

    you do realize minecraft isn't the only game to use flint in its crafting? it certainly wasn't the first game that came to mind

    Anyone else getting a joke from the title?

    Explosive arrows: fuse

    No?

    Okay that was lame I know.

    Anyway yeah they should probably get some new feature soon.

    yea i like the double arrow idea too, heres some more ideas
    gold arrow - 2hearts of dmg- need 5 golden nuggets to make 1
    net arrow/trap - need 5string (maybe bought from shop) and traps enemy in net slowing down movment and attack charge, break out by destroying the net (4hits) archer can have 2 at a time, gravity has a bigger efect on it than arrows

    but its simple

    edit: or new resource, something that would be used to dynamites and so on, gunpowder?

    Okay, I guess, but there has to be at least some item. Maybe 10 arrows and 1 wood? (For the burning part.)

    How about archers buying a bomb, so they take the explosive part and moisturize it to only burn, and attach it to an arrow.....

    But 20 gold for one fire arrow is pricey. Maybe 1 bomb = 10 fire arrows?
