I agree with this post to lower the arrow count, but the other side of the argument needs to be on this thread. I don't completely agree with lowering the amount of arrows in chests. While arrows CAN be over-powered, part of it is skill with a bow. More arrows means you need to have skill with ALL weapons and not just with a sword (like many of the MCSGers on the top of the leader boards, not all). I have actually never encountered problems with arrows since the update but since other have, I feel the MCSG community should compromise. How about in the next update for these servers the arrow count is reduced and not completely taken away? Having 1 arrow per chest is also unfair. It makes it so that anyone who only has skill with a sword can win the game easily and without any competition. Having 1 arrow per chest makes them TOO scarce and makes it nearly impossible for weaker, skilled players to come back and win. Arrow count being reduced to 1 per chest makes it so that chest routes can basically win the games. I don't know about you, but I don't necessarily have the BEST chest route on all the maps :/. So to give people who have skill with ALL weapons a chance to win, while still giving people with good chest routes chances to win, the arrows count should by reduced to around 2-3 for tier 2's and 1-2 for tier ones (including maybe lowering feather count to 2-3 per chest and raising flint count to 2-3 per chest). There, a happy medium, one that everyone can agree with, and one that doesn't make everyone mad. I hope this post presented both sides of the argument and if you feel it didn't please tell me.

If you can't hit with your bow, it is useless.
Usually, a average player would be better at the sword than bow.
Hence, the extra arrows from v1 to v2 is to encourage the training of the bow.
Leading to more special community(cough) and making mcsg more special (arrow spam land).

I don't get why they added more arrows. It's the Hunger Games..everything is supposed to be scarce! But nah..'let's just completely go against the lore of the Hunger Games and give the players more food, arrows, and other crap! :D'

*facepalm*
Then again, this is the Survival Games, not the Hunger Games.

But with the arrow thing, totally agree. :/

I agree with lowering the arrow count to 2-3 per chest. It just seems that arrows are to vital to decrease to much. Whenever I'm spawn chased, and I finally lose the guy, there is usually a guy decently geared. My only hope to kill him is with a bow. They also come quite in handy when dealing with stacked teams.

Well, no need to comment needs less arrows, due to the fact it has been stated 14(ish) times.
