Yoooo whatsup guys! So its august right now and much as been going on with Shotbow! Almost everything in this post is my opinion. Lets start with the gamemodes! I am writing this just cause I think its fun to write my opinion and I have suggestions but I dont wanna make a post or ask a staff member. This is the ONLY Annihilation edition btw. XD

 

Annihilation

So this gamemode isnt going to alright. Many forum members have problems with the Anni of today (I wrote this before the update). Most of the problems are scouts, bowspammers, pvp and maps. So ive been playing some games today and I havent seen too much of Ikusa, I dislike the map a bit but havent played it in a while. :O I dont like that I have to play Coastal, Andorra and Canyon so much tho. So we have all noticed that the balancing of classes isnt good right now. Classes like Thor, Scout and Pyro are being used waay too much which sometimes make the game repetitive. But ye, patience is key huh? :P So I am very curious how they balanced stuff (mostly curious about Robin Hood, Scout, Thor, Acrobat and Engineer). They better did not nerf Dasher since it is not even being used much even tho its pretty overpowered. Wonder how they are going to nerf bows, they might nerf them indirectly by nerfing archer or they just change the damage values of bows or maybe even the values of swords and make swords stronger. Still waiting for my beautiful EU rank. Man it really sucks that it takes so long. :/ If it already was here, I would no life and get to grandmaster. Assassin rushing is going pretty well, finished some games with some nexus kills. I feel less irrelevant. ;P I wonder if they are going to make it so andorra/coastal/canyon will be played less. I know Shotbow already fixed (kind of) the hit detection in MineZ and GG but I dont know if it will be in the Annihilaion update. Would actually be pretty cool tbh.

 

MineZ

Alright MineZ, the game ive been playing pretty much. MineZ right now is going really well, they sometimes even have 150 players in MineZ which is crazy for this gamemode. Ive been enjoying it pretty much because the developers just keep updating the game and make it better. We can thank PBG too for this playercount. Nothing to say about this, its just nice to also be in a discord where everyone talks about MineZ and just discuss and help in through the game. Fun game, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun game!  :)

 

Smash

The player count on this gamemode is pretty low but not too low. Still enough people to enjoy the game. I was thinking of making the game even more competitive and add 2v2 and/or 4v4. I once said it in the discord but Kingey responded with this: "We looked into a teaming report button but that require the reportsystem to be messed with a lot, so its probably not happening", which sucks but ye, thats what happened. (x I have also been playing this game from time to time cause it just never gets old. Ways to make this game more interesting and fun, are more powerups, better hitdetection (of course), more events (with prizes), maybe more staff patrolling because me and a bud of mine have seen some hackers (I know I should report them but sometimes even then they dont get banned). Thats all I got.

 

DBV (Death By Void)

This game is one of the least played games but still is a ton of fun (for me). One of the most underrated games even tho it can be pretty fun. So the next couple of days I will try to design and build some courses so I can have more fun in the game. Ways to make gamemodes interesting and fun is sometimes to make it more competitive. You can also make db even more competitive. Like a 1v1 race. They can also extend DBV and normal parkour course to the mix so you can choose. That would also be extremely cool to have. Well that is it about dbv, this game has more potentional then u think, trust me. ;)

 

MTA (Mine Theft Auto)

Pretty alright game in my opinion. I mostly play with Lime or ktrompfl which makes the game fun for me because I pretty much suck at games with guns. Have been doing some dungeons thanks to Saber and her video, Ktrompfl and Lime ive completed MTA 3 dungeons so far which is pretty impressive for me because I didnt have a jetpack. Dont have good guns but ye... Still enjoying the game, I hope the subcounts goes up so more people can enjoy it.

 

Civwar 

AAAAAH NEW GAME HYPE. It s so awesome that I can play in the closed beta, ive been enjoying the game a lot and my civ works hard (mostly mel). Found my first diamonds 2 days ago :O! I have mined before but I never got lucky. :( I have been farming zombies and selling the gunpowder for much money and deposited soooooo much, man. Civwar is an awesome game and I am so happy they joined Shotbow. I feel bad tho for the non premiums that cant play the game, they are missing a ton. Infinite FTW! This game also has some nice playercounts. 

 

GG

This is just a pvp game that got updated about a month ago with better hit detection. The hit detection IS better but can also be better. I am happy that they did not about the hitdetection. If I didnt wanna play any of the other games, I just played this to practice my pvp because I also suck at pvp. Also the 1v1 arena has some big bugs which prevent the players to play but ye I couldnt record it. Lemme just tell you that it is really buggy. I hope they are ever going to look into it. This gamemode isnt being played too much, which sucks cause you cant pvp with someone if nobody is playing, right? D:

 

Qubion

Rip Qubion man, I will miss it. :(

 

Slaughter

I am still waiting till they extent this game with like mob arenas maybe. This gamemode doesnt have too many players but it has enough players when I log in for about 2 games so yea. The game slaughter isnt that bad tbh, it is enjoying but I like playing it with a friend like CringeyTortilla, playing it alone is less fun because nobody really shares or play as a team. I have been making a jungle map with CTortilla here -----> https://shotbow.net/forum/threads/aztecs-jungle-themed-map.376594/ . Took us some time but it is finally done and Goliac and CTortilla have been making another map which is in the make and looks pretty awesome. Stay tuned for that. I can now only wish this game the best of luck and hope it will get updated.

 

WASTED

I hope this old game comes back, better than ever. Wasted was such a good and fun game and if it comes back, I am 100% sure that Shotbow will have more people. (I know this game is in the make)

 

Shotbow In General

Shotbow has been getting some nice 500/600/700 playercounts. Even tho I have around 100 ping ALWAYS, its still fun to play on Shotbow. Basically just finding bugs and mistakes is already fun for me and the forums are also great. Have been seeing some beef in the Shotbow Forum tho which I dont like but it will all be fine. I am still active on the forums!

 

Well idk why I wrote all of this but it was extremely fun. I will probably be doing this again after some updates, but I will probably write a little bit less. Thanks for reading and I see you guys, next time.
