Just to clear up any concerns if we end up going the marked trajectories route to balance the power of bows, remember that the only reason Kirito is going full Matrix in those gifs I posted was because his speed stats were astronomically high, consider it more like a warning so melee players at least know where they're being shot at from, slow reacting players will still get hit pretty easily.

Anyway, my vote does go towards the lasers, it works well and looks cool (imagine big battles *_*), but if anyone has other ideas, I'm open to them as well.
