does holding down right click work? I could've sworn I caught an arrow midair as I was holding right click to pick up arrows yesterday. There was a gap in between a couple of arrows and in that gap I'm pretty sure I caught one. Anyways I'm not so sure it's possible to effectively master arrow catching due to projectile lag. I've tried it many a time before, but often times it's just better to either hit the dirt or charge up another of your own and hope you dont get hit.
Holding rightclick doesn't work as you think, holding right click will keep going through entire thing, so say it's 6 frames long and out of 2 frames you are catching it will repeat those 6 frames and you will have 1/3 chance of catching the arrow holding it down this way. Timing is much more excellent.
I just did this in the last game I played on the MOLE server. Hahaha. It would have killed me and in desperation I right clicked. CAUGHT NUKKASSSSS.
Better have some concrete evidence. I'm pretty sure I've shot a few. :p But I can't provide evidence yet. Thinking something doesn't help in this matter. :p
I've tried shooting them on the edge and it didn't seem to work, feel free to dump one on the floor and try shooting it while looking at the timer, requires 2 people obviously.
Also this is a thread on catching arrows... is there something about this subforum that prevents people from making new threads or using the general archer discussion thread? Nothing changed on catching arrows from 319 to 354, so really no discussion there anymore.
Yes it does :p Nah, not really, but since we were on that topic anyway, I thought we should go on. And now that that's cleared up, everything falls back into place. :p
@shooting bombs You still can shoot knights shielding and camping with bombs. My face when they get stunned at 10.
Me and arcite were attempting a lot of arrow catching on my server the other day and we got some awesome catches and went through our lives like crazy. We figured that the best way to perform a setup of catching arrows is by getting the opposite team player to shoot an arrow full charged into the air at a bit of an angle and then the catcher stands near where they think it'll land and jump into it and right click just before it hits you. We also managed to get a few straight impact catches :3 We died alot in the testing :P
