"didnt that arrow hit?"

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

ok, so whenever i play on my own listenserver and try to use archery it seems that arrows go thru monster models but dont connect with a hitbox...

its not the case when i play online, on someone elses server(toobad there arent many of those)

*sigh* if only the latest patch worked for everybody

Hmm, are you hosting dedicated or listenserver?

 

[deadvoices]

whenever i play on my own listenserver

It happens to me too... I think for skeletons its just going between the bones, they dont seem to have a huge and easy to hit hit-box. Which brings me to a question, could you make a headshot actually count? That would be sweet to use archery blasting orcs in the face one-hittin em down.

As far as I know, hitboxes in MS have always been state of the art ****. MS: C does the job a little better, but I've occasionally 'missed' a boar while my arrow went through him. Same for skeletons and God knows what other monsters.

Ah well, I guess some monsters have ****boxes instead of hitboxes.

I've switched to an orc bow and sold off my longbow, because the bloody thing can't shoot at things at medium range - the orc bow doesn't seem to have his issue, however. Doesn't fire much slower - probably a lot less range though - but I'm never shooting at any specs of dust in the distance. I'm sure the damage is the same, as I think Lord K still confuses arrows and pennies.

 

[ITS'aME'aMARIO!!!!]

so would the short bow, be kinda like the orc bow and have no problems?

 

[Thothie]

Probably... If you want to be sure, just drop your longbow, put something in each hand, and pick it up - it'll file into whichever sack of infinite holding you have instead of your back - and you can then go pick up a cheap bow of your choice and strap that to your back. Beware that longbow is a heavy thing to haul though.

yeah, to be honest i did have this problem when i first got the bow.. but after some time it did start to shoot like any proper bow should and has a awesome range.

But shouldnt bows add to the base minimum dmg, because atm if you run out of arrows ur kinda screwd

 

[Wolfhound]

Different bows are superior because they are more likely to hit at range, though i agree if they shoot harder to be able to hit at longer range, they should do some more damage too.

 

[Thothie]

Don't get him started.

I just noticed the longbow is HEAVIER THAN IRON SHIELD !!!

Oh aye it is. Random hitboxes ftw, happened with me with lightning just then, missed a monster 5 times before it hit lol
