Bow string graphics?

[Starwindz]

<p>Any chance that we could see some bow string graphics off of some raid drops?</p><p>Vexthorne has an amazing bow string graphic. Can you add some more to raid bows like Vol'Drath? And maybe some VP bows?</p>

[Starwindz]

<p>I just found out that the graphic for Vol'Drath is the same as the Di'Zok bow of Flame. *ouch</p><p>Can we do something to make raid acquire items more worthy? Instead of re-doing the Vol'Drath bow, can you add a string graphic to identify it? It's bad when you see several people running with the same graphic.</p><p>Plz look into this someone. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

They already have a bad rap for cloning bows. (RSB for example =p )I've never seen the Vol'Drath in Action, but I do like the actual burst of flame that proc's from the Di'Zok bow. We need more of that!I miss the raincaller stun dance.

I just wish a Dev would reply to this. It's not like we are pulling teeth here. )

Bow strings in GENERAL would be nice... yea i know its reffered to a bit much but even warcraft has strings on their bows, lol.

Personally, I hope they never add strings to the bows when they are carried on our backs.  When in use, sure, but not when not in use.Why?Bow strings need to be taut.  If you keep a string taut all the time, it stretches and loosens up.  Therefore if you keep your bow strung all the time, the string will loosen (lengthen) and you will loose the potential power that you need to fire your arrows.Therefore it is more realistic to carry the bows on our backs - unstrung.~ Cerilynn

Yep.. thats right, I unsling my bow, take aim and an invisible string launches an arrow I never pulled. :p *Activates sarcasm mode* Oh yes, Lets carry string,wax and other tools. Be sure to tell the tank, to hold a few minutes before combat. I have to string my bow after all. *Attemps Deactivation....** I think its funny how only the high-end bows, late teir have anything that resembles a string... or well, wavy energy bar, lol. To each their own, variation on where realism ends I suppose. Still, I like to see the string and know theres something solid im knocking an arrow against.

I like my lightsaber bow. =) Would be nice if other bows got something, even if it was a generic black line. Its not like we are asking it to bend in the right places. =p

<p>It's very frustrating when you win a nice raid bow from a named and it looks exactly like the Mastercrafted bow. (Insert Voldrath here as an example).</p><p>Come on Devs. Askin for a bow string to make the bow unique is not asking much here. Just the raid bows.  Please....</p>

Are you insane ? God beware us of that. They should all look like level 10 handcrafted crap, or better don't have any graphics at all, and you have to throw your arrows with your hands <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I would also petition that the skeleton revamp should only apply to the members of the top raid-guilds on each server, because else it would be too much work <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />
