Archer/hunter Unable To Pull Back The Bow?

So I just logged onto Wynncraft after a long time of not playing and selected my archer loadout, turns out I can't actually pull/charge back my bow, I can't see any animation and instead when I click the arrow just flies out. This is also the same with the Hunter Class (which fires flint for whatever reason). Does anyone know how to fix this?

I didn't put this in the bug section because I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not.

 

Welcome back!
This got removed, as the bows are no longer actual bows, but retextured blocks.

 

Wow you must have played a really Long time ago, there have been a lot of updates and yea all of that stuff is completely normal.

 

Ever since I've played it's been like that(Archer was the first class I seriously played on)

 

Thanks for the quick response, btw do you know why this was done? Because from what I remember being able to perform charged, long ranged attacks seemed to be one of the unique features of an archer and differentiated it from other classes.

Yeah it's been a while since I played the server-Or Minecraft in general really.

________________________________

I started playing the game in 2013, good days :) It's good to see how much the server has improved.

 

I believe this got removed when the texture pack was implemented (I wasn't playing at that time, so it might have been earlier), because there are now multiple bow textures, they can't all be an actual bow, so now its just blocks that look like a bow. I don't think there is any way to charge bow shots now sadly.

 

Also just to recap some of the updates I can remember so you aren't completely confused.

• Gavel introduced (new province, bigger than Wynn), together with a lot of quests and items (including incredibly rare mythic Tier)
• Dungeons updated (as in all the dungeons are completely new and there are key Guardian Mobs instead of merchants), also corrupted dungeons added which are much harder versions of the normal dungeons (harder enemies, same layout).
• Elemens (You can deal and recieve Elemental damage for each of the five Elements (Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder) and depending on your elemental defence on each you can take more / less than the actuall damage stat of the mob / player's weapon (there are also some Mobs which take more / less damage from a specific element)
• Powder System updated (Most weapons and armour now have a set amount of powder Slots, powders don't add enchantments but if you have two of the same powder above Tier 3 (theres a merchant at which you can Combine 4 of a lower Tier of powders for 1 of the next best Tier, there are 6 Tiers) on a Piece of gear it gives you a Special effect (passive on armour, charges form attacking and is released with shift on weapons). Also there is a type of powder for each element)
• Skill points (every time you Level up you get 2 skill Points you can invest in any of the five skill (themed after the Elements), the more Points you have in a skill the stronger it is, also some gear requires a set amount of skillpoints in some skills and some give extra Points to some skills (also you can reset them easily now using 2 sould Points)
• Soul Points (Instead of dropping all of your stuff when loosing all, you gradually loose more and more valuable items the less you have (you still have to get very low to loose identified items (aka the gear you're using) so don't worry) and
• Potions (There are mana potions which Regenerate extra mana for a set Duration of time and stat potions which add a set amount of skillpoints for a set amount of time to the ones you already have, also all potions can now be found in loot chests and dropped from Mobs, allthough they are kinda rare)
• Lots of other minor changes
• Lots of Things I'm forgetting
• Corkus (the NEW new province, much smaller than wynn, supposedly will be released tomorrow (they said early April and it actually started as an April fools joke) so good Timing, also to get a better idea click this link for the trailer)

________________________________

Sorry for wall of text Syndrom but there have just been a lot of Things aded.

 

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. Did you type all that out yourself? If so than thanks even more because a lot of that stuff I actually didn't know about. The news of Corkus and thus the potential to see a Fruma expansion in the future is what has brought me back to the game again.

________________________________

Ah ok I understand. I mean I personally wouldn't have mind the bows having the same texture as its only cosmetic so long as we could still charge them. But thanks for the explanation :)

 

Wow! your as old as me when it comes to when you started playing! Im not sure if you intent to come back for a while, but welcome either way, alot has changed... I'll try to explain it the best I can:
- The spell system got remade, specificly how archer shoots (the pulling back thing was a problem since if you recal you had arrows in your inventory... permenantly).
- They added a new part to the ocean, with a ton of new quests and other areas (an expansion to the desert).
- They added troms, the final wynn town (idk how old you are but I do know when I first joined Troms wasn't a thing xD).
- The intire wynn map got remade nearly from scratch.
- A ton of bad quests got remade (a good example is "Posion making")
- The max level has been increased to 100 (101 is you have no life and feel like grinding forever)
- They finally added the long waited Guilds feature, allowing you to create guilds at the cost of money, level them up by sharing xp with a guild lvling system, taking over territory and adding mobs to protect it as your guild levels up.
- They added the Tower Of Ascention, which is basiclly the final Wynn province challange near Nesaak.
- All of the dungeons got remade... like twice by now O_O The whole "skeleton dungeon" naming system got thrown to bits ;-; You now get keys by killing specific mobs to enter the dungeon, and the reward system changes as well.
- There are now corrupted versions of exsisting dungeons, which is basiclly the same dungeon just for higher levels and with a higher award, the way to get the key is also different, but I'll get to that.
- They added a new province, Gavel! im sure you aware though, tons of new quests, far better than any wynn quest with better storytelling and even commandblocks!
- They remade the intire armor and weapon system, its not alot more complicated, I wont go to all of it here, there are plenty of other guilds that can explain it far better than I can, but the short version is: There are elemental damage and elemental defense to some items and mobs, which allow them to deal higher / lower damage based on your / their elemental stats.
- They made powders effective now! they changed the powder system so each different powder gives more elemental stats to whatever you put it into.
- They added a new tier of items beyond legendary, mythic. Their whats commonly used as the end game weapons and they cost a ton so dont get into that xD
- Your a lucky guy because a new content update is comming most probably tommorow!

and now for some minor sub-massages i forgot to include in cronological order (lol)
- They added relics, which are basiclly free items that are hard to find.
- They added quest chains, which is basiclly a ton of quests you must do in a specific order to complete (A good example will be the 4 part quest chain Wynnexcevation).
- Collectables are basiclly dead (if you we're into that lol)
- The pumpkin mask was removed, due to it being duped to death.... And got replaced with a new item, and a new mob to find it.
- They added hell, in the shape of the "???" quest (look into it yourself...).
- Speaking of which, they remade nether, a bagillion times, you dont get money there anymore (and the voting for money feature was also removed).
- They added 2 new ranks besides VIP, VIP+ and HERO, their benefits are pretty minor.
- Crates, if your a VIP+ or HERO, you get crates on a daily basis, they give cosmetic items like pets and weapon skins.
- VIP town was removed (never forgetti).
- The pig arena was removed.
- There is a daily reward system, stacking up to 5 days!
- They added a TON of lore for... everything honestly! If your the kind of guy that likes a good story.

I can hardly think of anything else to add, so if I forgot something its pretty not important, thats what happend to wynncraft in the last 4 years! good luck :D

EDIT: just rememberd a few more things lol...
- They made potions an effective tool to use now, as health is a bigger factor than health now (since you have like 20 different hearts now on higher levels)
- They added skill points, which are basiclly increasing your stats as you level up, they factor into elemental damage as well.

 

at first i thought this was a shitpost, but nice. Yeah, it's been a long time since bows pulled back.

Anyway, here's a more in-depth list on what @Relja_J_3 said.

• Gavel, the fantasy province of light has been released, along with a new level cap being 101.
• Gavel features many new quests (58, iirc) Which range from levels 39-98.
• The ocean has been expanded and Corkus island has been added! (You can look at it right now, but you can't enter it until it is officially released)
• 600 new items are in the game, again ranging from 1-100
• The mythic tier (Step-up from legendary) has been introduced, with a 0.0014% chance of a mob dropping one (iirc)
• Elements have been introduced (Earth, air, thunder, water, fire)
• Each element has a respective powder, and powder have tiers (I-VI)
• Using a powder on an item will give them special buffs (Note, only IV+ powders can give special buffs. Some items cannot have powders added.)
• As you can probably see, there is a new texture pack (I say new, it's been out for 1.5 years now.) Also, when you hold some blocks (Like a wooden plank) It will transform into the weapon skins you see. There are 80 weapon skins!
• A new rank has been added, it is called HERO
• Accessories, rarer items that you can only find in loot chests have been added. You can use two rings, one bracelet and one necklace.
• Lots of cinematics for certain quests have been added!
• The seaskipper, a new boat to travel the ocean (Basically ocean fast-travel) has been added.

I think i covered everything. Any questions and i'd be happy to answer them!

 

Dude I can't thank you enough, I'm a huge fan of the lore and hope to see some more of it soon.

 

They also added a proper class creation system, so now you can delete classes and create up to 5. On a side note, they have changed the quest system considerably such as NPCs can now move instead of being statues. They also added boss altars, hidden shrines across the map that allow you to fight a hidden boss in exchange for a few junk items. You can find the number and kind of item you need to access the boss altar through clues hidden in the landscape nearby.

________________________________

Almost forgot, they are planning on adding a Main Storyline after Corkus. Grian confirmed there will be a mini storyline before that in a place in Gavel called Molten Heights.

 

There is so much new things even though you have gotten all this amazing advice, I recommend starting a new class and learning your self. Trust me it's worth it.

 

if when the bows you had to pull back to fire you have been gone a LONG time! like wow that was i think one or two updates before gavel and the texture pack is when you stopped pulling back the bow to fire.

 

You should probably make a new class to get used to the new system.

 

The pull back was removed before 1.12 I think so basically two years

 

it got removed in the revamp update I believe
