I'm so-so on this. Yes, it would be great to have bows spawn, but generally the spawn rate of string and sticks is high enough that in 7+ minute games I can make a standard bow and have arrows on me, if I haven't killed a kit user for their bow already. And, this is coming from a person who generally has no kits in the first place.

+0 neutral from me.

 

+1 this is very annoying there is no harm adding this. Bows aren't exclusive to kits we should stop treating them like it and making it so hard to make lol

 

True, I guess it wouldn't hurt. After reading it over it looked kinda biased from me.....

Sure, why not.

 

To be honest, it would be nice to have a few extra's added into no-kit-sg's. I doubt it will be implemented because of the codding required, but it would be fun. For example, if its a no-kit-match, an anvil would spawn in the cornucopia. There would be a low chance of getting enchanted bottles/enchanted books. There could also be more ingots spawned and less armour, some bows spawned in, maybe some flint, tnt (no block damage), etc. To be honest, our sg is a bit bland (item wise). It would also be cool to have some new maps everyone once in a while. Have a vote - Which map do you want changed? And every.... idk 3 or 6 months there would be a vote. There are a lot of things that could make our sg more interesting, but we havent been able to add it cause, really, the whole kit thing screwed us. Now with the 1/8th chance we have the opportunity to add some stuff but it would be hard to do it because there has to be that 1/8th factor coding. Adding bows to chests would make our sg more interesting, and i dont think there would really be any huge negatives. The only problem i see is how often arrows spawn. I get literally 30 arrows from 5 chests.

 

-1 I spent $55 on my kits especially so i could get a bow, i mean cmon, don't make me waste my money :/

 

Could you please explain to me why putting a very low spawn rate for bows in chests would 'waste your money'? xP

 

Yes I can, to win sg against all the good players, you need a bow. If your saying that noobs without kits can kill good pvp'ers like @Raccooy @Kick_Me_1235 and @Mr_Doom_Bringer well excuse me for thinking that wastes my money

 

there are several things I find weird about this statement ._. Taking into account the information already discussed

I'm saying that, to add more excitement, we need more stuff. Now, i personally can't think of any negatives myself other than the spawn-rate of arrows. You, on the other hand, are saying that other people having bows will waste your money, and i respect that. But, basically, your inferring that other people having a slight chance of having a bow will cause you to die more, correct? Now.. wouldn't this be alot more fun? No, not the dieing part. I mean the strategy and skill. You will have to develop new ways of sg'ing so your money isn't wasted. You know what else? This would give the 'kit hater extremists' a little bit more reason to stop attacking (verbally) me, you, and other kitters.

 

ok u have your opinion, i have mine, as I sais -1

 

I really don't see it as wasting your money...
Two very popular kits are cc and miq. They come with an enchanted sword and an enchanted bow. Now your saying that if they included a low spawn rate of bows in chests (not enchanted and therefore not nearly as powerful as your kits, which you can use every 10/30 mins if not ++) would make your kits a waste? Come on... really? I am willing to bet that just as many people would buy kits if they added bows because of these reasons:
1. The bows in kits are way better. One lights people on fire and the other does crazy damage. It pretty much equal to the difference between a wood sword and miq sword.
2. Kits can be used every 30 mins, 10 mins, or every game depending on the upgrades. Much more than the rare chance that you find it in a chest before you are killed by someone else, possibly a kit user.

I can get a bow usually in 5-7 minutes. Are you saying that the sticks/string are also wasting your money?

 

I will be speaking with the other administrators regarding this possibility. It is not guaranteed but we will look into it.

 

no that ruins pay2win. pay2win is best 2win

I vote we take out iron swords and replace them with bows. But keep the stick/string/iron ingots for iron swords and fishing rods. That would add to the fun of kitless games and for when I just decide to not use kits at all.
