This sounds very interesting to me:cool: Added!

These are all very good suggestions! Do take this to Yoshi! I especially like the idea of a knocking/pulling bow sound, and especially the arrow trails. I was just think this the other night.

I think if they made a new quiver per arrow type, that'd be perfect. That way, the rank 1 arrows have a cheap looking quiver, while the highest ranking arrows have a really fancy and well designed quiver.

Also, some boob physics certainly wouldn't hurt. As long as it's done tastefully. TERA online uses real dynamic soft body physics .. but looks completely unrealistic and is wayyy too overdone. Just something subtle would be fine.

Prematurely released game was prematurely released - The games opening cut-scene even hints at "mages" being able able to buff an archers arrow - as we all have seen...


BUT BUT BUT

I'm really growing tired of these "atheistic" threads. The next 6 months are fundamental changes. Don't expect much more.

All you are doing is giving the devs more things to list on their white boards - That will ultimately be put back behind the "fundamentals" that they need to patch first.

Its sad, but the truth will set you free. If not piss you off first. :)

6 months or more - just wait. But remember - keep your boring out-dated requests up!

Like Bay says - "no one from the rep team even reads or looks at these threads. Please troll bump everything so that the half-blind half-wits on the SE rep team can focus on them"

.............................

sorry i took an artistic approach to that.

Forums. You tire everyones patience.

Thats certainly a good idea as well, on the list now :)

Surprised no one has asked for WIDESCAN yet.

Widescan was an ability that rangers and beastmasters had in XI which allowed them to see enemy locations at a greater distance from the map screen. Very, very useful!

You had me at boob physics...

but seriously :D awesome thread - hope to see some of these ideas ingame

Ok, borrowing another idea from LOTRO, a selftarget AoE party buff that increases movement speed on yourself, and party members within range of the Archer. Always active except durring combat.

Thank you Captain Obvious ;D I'm sure no one here count it will be different, and ofc priority take fundamental changes, duhh?? All we are doing here is giving some ideas for cosmetic changes for the future cos we like our class :)

That would be useful indeed, its more ranger-beastmaster skill than our Arc in FFXIV I guess, but I will leave that judgment to Devs. Added.

More movement speed u say? I say on the list now ;D And btw I think there was something like that in WoW as well.

What about skill that pull archer back, simply increasing distance between target!?

Ok its been a while since the thread is up, as well as last ideas were posted. It looks like we covered most of it for now. I would like to first, kindly ask Community Team to pass ideas along to Yoshi-P, if that's possible.

Anyway, thanks a lot to everyone that supported thread, I know it wasn't easy task, but it end-up with a lot of great suggestions and ideas :D And ofc feel free to add some more, if You can ;)
