yes, we have had that suggested multiple times in this thread but we came to a conclusion that poison is a no go especially since ol'notch said he doesnt want poisons however that may change
however grey (i think) suggested it will slow them down, I used to have frost arrows that freeze enemies but slime arrows make more sense, anyway a suggestion is a suggestion but I do recommend reading at least the first 5 pages since the majority of ideas spawned there
love this idea but maybe a little overly expanded
expanded is a good thing but I think that if all of these would focus the game a little to much towards weapons
(I have nothing against weapons, I just think all of these would out-balance the game)
i have an idea for an arrow

stun arrow, disorients enimies for a few seconds and only does about .5 damage

put your hands in the air and scream **** THE WORLD!!!
I really haven't read thought all the posts here but i lost almost all the ideas but 1, The Flash Bang Arrow is just alittle over doing it, don't cha think?
Anyways another idea i would like to see if it hasn't already been suggested(ignore then part if so) is a Hook or something of the sort arrow that will go into a block and stay there and with a rope attached to it allow you to climb up to areas you can't reach with out having to build a stair case to it, or just used to grab pings, cows, chickens, zombies and the such to drag them over cliffs xD
Sorry if this has already been suggested, but I had this idea of a "launcher":
[]
This would be the launcher itself. I can see it being used in a lot of ways, but as this thread is about ranged weapons, I'll stay on topic. Regarding the durability, I am not sure how it would work out. It could fire, I dunno, 96 projectiles? Or maybe the durability would be different for reach kind of ammo? I don't know, tell me what you think.
Well, here are the ideas:
Arrow launcher
[>>-i>]
Pretty simple, an "arrow bazooka". I don't think I have to say that it is quite powerful. Inside, you would put how many arrows you want to during the crafting process, this would be the ammo. (If we get a 4x4 crafting grid, this arrow "magazine" would be on top of the whole thing.)
Spear Launcher
Same thing, but it would shoot spears.
(KEY: = Spear(s))
Now, this would be damn awesome: TNT LAUNCHER. Need I say more?
BTW, you can only reload launchers on a workbench.
Now, just going a bit off-topic, imagine this for building purposes:

anyways great idea over nine thousand thumbs up!
We have the rope arrows idea underway, and the flash bang arrows are basically a last resort escape arrow, I might make spiders immune to it so it won't be too overpowered.

Even better for this one- it could deal 5 hearts of damage and could be used 3 times. (It goes throught the mob, and when it touches the ground it DOESNT dissapear!)
No, all piercing arrows are one time use, all arrows that hit enemies are one time use. You know that, and it won't be changed just because the arrow has an obsidian head.

We have to launcher idea also underway, however it is called a Sentry. It was basically a Cross Bows mounted to some sort of redstone block.

Hey, mind if i include a few of your concepts/pictures in a thread i'm making? I'll give you and anyone else who worked on the thread full credit.
I dont mind but can you send me a link of the thread in PM? I wanna see what its about and stuff, just when you put them in put credit to whoever made it (Most likely me or Greyacuman)

The Launcher wouldn't be mounted on anything, it would be like the bow, which you can use anywhere, whenever you want, but it wouldn't only shoot arrows (as you have seen in my sketches.) However, it would have to be a quite big weapon, so it would take a significant amount of screen space, this way it is more balanced. Also, it is not deployable like a turret (if I understood what you said about the sentry)
I don't really like the luancher. It seems too much like a gun. Maybe you could go with something like the Korean Hwacha. Baisically, the Hwacha is the great-granddady of all rockets. Imagine 100 arrows with blackpowder rockets strapped to them, all shoved into bamboo tubes and laid out like those missile luanchers the military puts on vehicles. You just aim in the general direction of an oposing army, light the fuse, and watch a wave of sharp, firey death rain down upon your adversaries. For minecraft, you could use a hand-held version crafted from the bamboo-like stuff we already have in game.

Then you just craft rockets from gunpowder and some other material (not usre what to use yet)...

Well, I still like my idea better because it looks like a gun lol, but that's also a nice idea you got there. If I am allowed to make a suggestion, unless you intend on using rockets for anything else beyond ammo, you could just craft the rocket with the arrows at the same time:

Believe it or not but I would love some sort of early ass pistol in this game, but for the sake of the medieval theme and the controversy that follows I am just going to stick with bows and whatnot.
But when it comes down to it, a gun is much more realistic and generally easier to implement than a hand cannon or any cannon. Look, I just dont feel like delving into siege weaponry on this thread, even though it is range and all.
So for now cannons and rockets and whatnot are just a maybe idea, I mean the explosive arrows would probably pack the same punch and they are more portable.
I just wanted to let everybody who supports this that on GetSatisfaction we now have over 100 likes!!! If you have yet to check out the page and add you like do so here!!
however grey (i think) suggested it will slow them down, I used to have frost arrows that freeze enemies but slime arrows make more sense, anyway a suggestion is a suggestion but I do recommend reading at least the first 5 pages since the majority of ideas spawned there
Also might as well make current dynamite arrows stick for 2 seconds

pretty cool :biggrin.gif: just better fix up those cross bows dude, they seem wonky, also I want the sling to have more bullets alright >:biggrin.gif:

F*** YEAH!
we had a wrist rocket sorta idea before, it reminds me of this
I'll see, okay xD
Yep, exactly like a hand cannon. In fact, if you add this to the front page, you can rename it as a hand cannon. I'm cool with that :smile.gif:
And hopefully will
