I dont really think that would be that great of an addition because I like the bows the way they are... but that is just me.

The "Notch mentioned" link just goes to the main page of his Twitter account, and is therefore fail.

NOT! imature 12 yr. old....

Ah, finally. Charge-able bows! In most RPG/Adventure games, I play as an archer- but not Minecraft, the lack of skill needed to use a bow and utter simplicity of the entire system has always bothered me. Not anymore, thanks Notch!

Exactly. Same deal with me.

'Cept I practice archery IRL

Cool! (first!)

You kind of got second...

This is probably gunna be teh best update EVAR!

Epic Idea an easier way to kill a creeper or skeletal bowman

And even if this DID turn out to be just the first step of many towards what is essentially a semi-RPG, I wouldn't care. RPGs are cool, and Minecraft is even cooler. Combine those two things and... BOOM AWESOMENESS or BAM EPIC FAIL if it is done wrong. But it's Mojang, so it won't be done wrong.

I hope this just means that the longer you charge the bow the more powerful damage and not that you have to charge it just to shoot 1 arrow! Because the MC machine gun bow rocks!

I agree that it shouldn't be in MC but not because it would be copying off terraria because terraria already copied so much off of MC.

? guess the reply button isn't working.

It will probably mean you need to pull it back for 100% damage you most likely wont get extra.
No moar semiauto bows, mehh they where dumb anyway. Hopefully they buff the damage a tad to compensate for the lack of arrow raining capabilities. I hear arrows do so little damage now because they could be fire like a mini gun so long as your M1 finger was nimble.

I've always preferred bombarding creepers with arrows than leroy'ing at them and having a giant hole in the ground afterwords

Sounds really Cool I will be looking forward to the 1.8 Update. Adventure mode sounds really cool and the Bow Mechanics is going to amaze me.
