Ive been playing and loving the game for the past month as a Dex/Faith build. I log into the new update and now no longer have the ability to aim my bow. I am literally shooting my friends in the back because I just fire the bow willy nilly with no way to tell what my target is… Please please bring back the aiming arrow graphic with the red sight line so I can adjust my aim. I have no way to tell what im shooting at and this is extremely detrimental when 3 of my friends are running around trying to kill enemies. I feel useless as an archer without a way to actually aim my bow… Please help!! I am very much enjoying the game and love everything about it. This has really put a hindrance on my ability to play with this type of weapon.
Some bows dont have the aiming mechanic

Both bows i had been using did the night prior to the Together update.
They have been changed probably.
Can you please name the two bows you are talking about?

Those bows are usually the ones that you can perform run attacks with?
I might be wrong.. and maybe there are some bows who have the aim mechanic and still can perform the same run attacks?
One of the bows i used yesterday who had the aim mechanic couldnt do run attacks.
Another bow(Patience) i used yesterday could do run attacks but it had no aim mechanic/range marker.

I am using the Yew Long and Yew Shortbow.
I really hope this is user error and im just a noob but my experience with the bows I had been using completely changed. 
it feels like my bows became a single player option only since I can’t aim, with no friends i guess I can make it work but that kinda defeats the purpose of this update.

Are you on controller or mouse and keyboard?

I’m on controller! I did just figure out that my yew longbow does have an aim option if I hold down the fire button, previously was just tapping it! I used to have the combination button sequence of holding the left bumper to aim the bow and then a separate fire button, but now im figuring out that this atleast on the longbow has been rolled into onebutton and more of a timing function now under the one fire button. But my yew shortbow and Patience bow do not have this. Maybe I just need to find some of the new bows that were put in?

Shortbows work by attacking in quick succession like melee weapons. Longbows do have charge attacks.
There are a few bows that do have both just try each bow by holding the attack button each bow plays differently now
