i just realised there's one thing i miss a great deal in mmorpgs.
that is an archer class with a realistic/awesome range.
most archer classes in mmos today seem to have a max range of about 6-7 inches onscreen in fully zoomed out mode.

what i am after is a really long ranger archer. in neverwinter, we had archers that in fully zoom out could shoot from one edge of the screen to the next. in fact, in nwn, we had archer powers where u cud 1) fire a hunting arrow that struck the enemy anywhere on the map 2) fired one arrow at every single enemy on the map, no matter the range, in one blow.

what it meant is that in nwn, you could jump out from behind the tree, shoot and jump back into hiding before the enemy could see where you were. all he could see was the rough direction the arrows struck him from and then he hd to slowly try to hunt down the archer.

any mmos like that?

hm anyway i posted it here cos.. well i wanted to discuss mmmo archers in general. (and more topics).
