Sherwood Dungeon: Archery Alpha Test

Gene Endrody on Facebook:
''I've put up a very early version of an update that includes Bows & Arrows. This is rough around the edges and there is still plenty to do, but it give you a look at work in progress.

Some major things are still to come. Planned major improvements in AI to give MOBs a fighting chance against players are in the works. Also the shot arcs and speed will undergo a major adjustment soon. Right now MOBs doen't really have a fighting chance but later version of the test should make this part more entertaining.This update uses your existing character but does not save your character progress. This avoids possible errors and expliots while the update is in development.

Honestly, I'm not sure what else is going to ultimately be in the update but I think watching player using the Alpha Test will help me work through the problems and bugs.

You need to be XP level 21 at least. The bow will appear in your equipment screen automatically.
Please keep in mind this is pre-beta.You can try it here.....

CHANGE / EDIT:
Already our first change. I experimented with the <home> key, but that's a browser shortcut and caused some players screen to jump.
Now you fire an arrow using the key.''
