9 Is way too much, with new resolutions, I think 6/7 is pretty fair, it still more range than any spell, But atleast gives people who using a chance to hit as most spells are range 5 (The ones that are used anyway)

And also prevents people in high resolutions hitting people from miles away for people who are playing in lower resolutions through no fault of their own.

Agree 100% with this.

gona play in 1920x1080 and mob steal everyone while being out of sight :/

I agree it should be changed

Ive said this a few times , range has not changed its the same as its always been , if someone wants to play in 800x600 then that's there choice , takes 2 seconds to change the resolution to one suitable for the present day. people seem to think that the higher res they go the further they can shoot, wrong.

Why cant people adjust there resolution? you want to punish people because you cant or wont change your own resolution? Sounds alot like the conti issue to me.

Archers cant use a shield and fight, our bows have much lower min dmg than other weps , range is vital , and its hardly like they can shoot and move , basically get a couple hits before someone gets to them thats it , not kiting all other classes around . unless spamming feathers but thats a feather issue.

Copied from other post because I cba to type it again for you Vex.

"VEX"Bow is the same range it's always been

Not really... before you couldn't shoot at something off your screen simply because you couldn't click on it. So the actual range was your screen size...

Now it has a larger range, because the screens are larger. Its not really that hard to understand.

Why should someone be penalized and be able to be attacked off their screen for using the default resolution.

Vex your talking rubbish, yeah bow range not been changed but we've always been limited to 600x800 an thus never been able to use its full over powered range until now.

Bows always been over powered, now there even more so. This coming from someone thats currently training bow up lol.

Rhaegar get a clue before giving me attitude? , how big your actual screen is is nothing to do with what you see on the game .

and how am i talking rubbish m8 ? is this ESOMA? is it? or is it a new brought closer to modern standards remake? so what it may have been limited to that back then , not now quite obviously ,idiot?

Bows overpowered? but sword is fine? wearing a shield and still doing one of the highest dmg outputs?
Bow dmg is far below the other weps , minimum especially and archers cannot 4th unless there are somethin like 5 range either.

100% agreed

Also dont you all see how you keep saying It Never USED TOO in the old game, yer the old game .

The problem isn't that people can or cant play on higher resolutions, it is that the bow was intended to be the range of an 800x600 resolution screen.

Now that we play on higher resolutions the effective range of the bow is now vastly higher than it was intended, and much higher than it should be.

yer nice info , so esoma was intended to be played that way huh? too bad this is not that game!!!!??

why would the bow range be further i wonder? just for the sheer hell of it? there is no need at all to have made it possible to go 9 unless they intended 9 tiles

Do you even read the thread before posting?

Reducing the range has nothing to do with the current resolution, it has to do with the fact that range 9 is too long.
