The new Arrow explosion radius destroys Combo completely, because now the weapon is as good as a Rocket. Rockets are 3-4 items on the map, but there is just one Arrow. Its even harder to hit with an Arrow than a Rocket, because you know how the Rocket flies but not how an Arrow flies.

Now Nuc is by far the best weapon if you get Nuc's you will win the game (even against Elite players, because Nuc>Laser)

In Combo the weapons are balanced at the moment and you don't have to change a thing.

Please reset the hitradius of Arrows back to the old one and focus more on developing more important things.

The arrow blast radius grows with distance how far it lands, so very close is useless, but around 8 blocks its like it was previously. I also prefer a bit bigger radius on close range but keep it growing with distance.

I think this game needs to be the same in every title.
Like we can train our movement in obstacle & our rockets in Joust to be good in Elite.
Keep the arrow the same in all titles would be better imo

Dunno if this already reported, but when u stand on the arrow-pad and u aim really low ( just over the border ) and you spam your 3arrows you will see that you only shoot 2. It's like 1 arrow magically dissapears. It actually happens a lot.

The server you're on is using an old version of the arrow with the new arrow version. It means that it looks that you have 3 arrows but you have only 2 in reality, the last bar has no utility unless it's not charged.

Yes the Arrow Hitradius is really broken !! Arrow is now useless... for hit with the new hitradius we have to play the arrow like the rocket, and it's very hard because the arrow is not played as rocket !
This must be changed as soon as possible :s
Thanks

The arrow as it is now, is completely pointless in combo. The easiest way to even get a hit is to get a direct hit, which is not what you want to use an arrow for when you have rockets. Also at close range even if you hit the feet of the player model it doesn't register as a hit.
