Awesome solution, but would the different bow types be separate inventory items, or would it work sort of like interchangable ammo?

maybe I was thinking (maybe a hated idea) think of it like it was a real bow. maybe after 200 arrows, your bow would start to break and eventually you would have to pay (a small fee) to buy another one. Also as the bow breaks the arrows could be slower and maybe take longer to load. I'm just thinking outside of the box |

Why dont you just add a windup or hold for power kind of thing, it eliminates the cool down issue and adds a 'skill factor' to it. The longer you hold it, the more power/distance it goes. Perhaps it takes 3 seconds to fully charge, and can deal 1.5 or 2 hearts of damage. Getting hit cancels the windup.

not really. People on iPads would have an insane advntage being able to shoot from far away off screen, while iPod players would just get hit trying to charge.

But you don't know where the enemy is, so it would be a blind shot. the iPad players would also see it coming. Additionally, iPad players would be able to see you and snipe you from far away where you cant see them charging.

Charge up for more damage would be cool, but that would be better for a separate weapon, plus in not sure if that could be hacked..

How about we all just stop being pussies and accept that the bows have been like this since 1999 (maybe earlier), and nobody has a strong issue with it. You have to buy arrows eventually, and the max is only 99. That picture Maxy took outside of mod wouldn't have lasted very long and, from what I know, doesn't happen very often.

It really isn't that bad... Most of the ideas proposed here are at a disadvantage to players without real-life money. Either because they will end up costing too much, or to give them any advantage they'd need to buy an iPad, or get VIP. The reason I say real-life money is because those who can afford them will most likely buy the gralats in gralat packs. The charging idea would prove a disadvantage to smaller iDevices and you'd need an iPad for the large screen to shoot from afar. Think about the point of a bow? To accurately shoot at a great distance. There's really no way to do that with the screens, so spamming is the answer. Removing that with charging renders the bow useless.
