mya Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Personaly i think ranger fired weapons are a bit overpowering in their special effects. Especialy the blind thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acerbity Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I love it when players who rely on 'shoot shoot shoot' get pwnt by a blademaster. Bwahahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warpnow Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Heh...I can just picture some halfling blademaster catching an arrow and throwing it BACK at the guy who shot it...amazin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmm Coffee Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I wish I could counter those plague arrows - since, yeah, plague arrows have absolutely no RP sense for a ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexi Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hrm... I wish I could counter those plague arrows - since' date=' yeah, plague arrows have absolutely no RP sense for a ranger.[/quote'] Sure it does. They are archers. Plague arrows is an effective way to immobalise your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 You will never kill even a mediocre player using shoot shoot shoot. If all you do is kill new players than, well, if thats your thing go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mya Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sleeapy is not that good, as you can easely block it. No way to block blind, of course unless blademaster. And its not even common blind, its uncurable blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Kid Wonder Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Calron what are you talking about? I killed several skilled people on Trienklor with just shoot shoot shoot. Granted this was back when they lagged, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calron Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 In that case, maybe we have different opinions of skilled. Unless your hitting a huge vuln with a completely unprepared person I just don't see how this would happen without the bug from before. Although back with Trienklor, the lag thing was a huge advantage when your shooting someone trying to run away (before people realized they could use skills back) which was only after Trienklor mainly.

Deravgner Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I don't think he's talkin about BLMs reversing arrows, he's talkin about when he's fightin any other class with fired weapons. It is a bug I believe. If the said person he's shootin at has a fired weapon eq'd with arrows, he will autoshoot back....ill go back to this little clip.... 23hour 4751gold) Bragh yells 'Help! I've just been shot at by Mariklesh!' Mariklesh yells 'Help! I've just been shot at by Bragh!' 0hour 4751gold) Mariklesh yells 'Help! I've just been shot at by Bragh!' Bragh yells 'Help! I've just been shot at by Mariklesh!' 0hour 4751gold) Mariklesh yells 'Help! I've just been shot at by Bragh!' Bragh yells 'Help! I've just been shot at by Mariklesh!' You have a 2 Rangers both eq'd with arrows and a bow. one shoots one the other autoshoots back. The second shooter gets lagged too btw, which makes it buggy. I noticed there is even lag when you have no arrows and you get shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calron Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Actually, there used to be a bug where you shoot back if you have a bow equipped, even if theres no arrows equipped. Not sure if thats fixed or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeleeCrazy Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 well it initiates combat, you can flee from it...but you aren't suppossed to...it's a bug. I remember seeing dirt kicks getting thrown from like 9 rooms away. and the shoot shoot shoot thing actually works from time to time. but you can usually tell who's new and who's not by how they react to it. And using just shoot is kinda wack...but for those peope that just won't sit still and take what's coming....quite lovely. Sleepy arrows FTW! I love it. Blademaster's can be a pain, but you gotta remember if they are blocking your arrows there is something else they aren't doing. take advantage.

tassinvegeta Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I think shooting from far away as an archer is overpowered. I mean really, you don't even need any wares, you have camo so mostly likely you'll be able to catch them without sanc and plus you can make vul arrows. And just imagine if you lagged yourself from fighting a mob or just not paying attention to the screen. You first take a couple shots before you realize what's going on, then you gotta scan find the person then try to whup his butt, I'd say this process will get you shot at minimal four more times. In games where there are archers that can do that kinda stuff they are balanced out with super weak defense, and yea, ogre/any ranger is so easy to outmelee...-riiight- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Kid Wonder Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 If you're not paying attention to where and pks then you deserve those pops in back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeleeCrazy Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Yeah but that all goes back to being prepared for anything...it doesn't take much to know that when you start getting shot to get out of the forest. Get prepared and come back. Other classes can use them, yes they don't have the range with it that a ranger has, but then a ranger can't lag at will. Not only that, but only archers get that range, not all rangers. Seems pretty balanced to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
