Bow error discussion

"Fixing" one thing breaks something else. try using a bow a close range with new physics, arrows will literally fire behind you and nowhere near the target.

Actually, that's always happened...

I ran an AA up to 20 and never observed that before. What I observed on Lamaland regarding the borked physics doesn't happen on live. it's getting to be like CoH or some other ******** MMO where it might as well be turn-based combat.

Forget about the swings/minute nerfage, the active combat is what makes DDO great. It fools you into thinking it's an action game, there is a great adrenaline rush fighting in this game. I think the physics changes foul this up.

This has been fixed internally. Not making it for the U5 release but will be coming.

So arrows firing backwards is a bug that's acceptable for release?

At this point you can count me as a "likes" U5 because there's more than enough good stuff to make up for the changes I don't like, the physics strangeness is going the throw a lot of people off. If the radiant Savant aura stayed active while fighting that would be even better.

Not like anyone seriously uses archery anyway.

They won't for much longer if they let bugs like this go live. Archery is BARELY viable now.

As is, the borked archery(I can call that borked) really shouldn't make it to live, as archery is a style that is already low on DPS and now it's quite pathetic honestly, I've been getting in about MAYBE 40-50% my shots to hit, which is lowering already low DPS and I don't have shots to spare when I'm using manyshot on its 120 cooldown timer.

It is one of the things that REALLY shouldn't make it to live.

I'm pretty sure this bug has always been here, perhaps just less noticeable. Should an archer really be shooting a bow in immediate melee range anyway?

***? ?

How can such a critical bug fix not make the release?

Ever hear of "delaying the release by a few days to get in a critical patch" ???

more people will get a huge eBoner over the airships than will be annoyed at archery being unusable. it's a costs/benefits thing.

Due to the cycles and releases. People in the industry understand this.

And the reasons why U5 is is the worst mod grows by one.
