ranged attack on every monster?

[MHB3000]

EVERY DoW HAS A RANGED ATTACK!!!!!!!!!

well.. I just bought a stack of Silver Javalins.. and they are a potent attack ;p

And this new issue is?

I dunno, but it probably has something to do with enemy AI in relation to ranged attack behavior.

I understand its an anti exploiting mechanism but

A) why bother with snares/roots
B)it looks really silly when everything in the world has some sort of ranged attack (this drives me crazy in CO too)

"I know its an anti exploiting mechanism, but I want to exploit things! I'll be good, honest! Don't sneeze me again!"

People want the game harder not easier,and difficulty comes in many ways.

While I appreciate the response, that was about as vague as a politician trying to explain policy. So the issue lead to another issue that needs to be addressed before the first issue can be resolved. Got it.

Kiting, most likely.

[Matty86]

What new issue could have possibly arised from this?

I think the issue is: mobs and players can't attack while running right now, would be just too easy to kite a mob if they stop ranged attacks.
I think they need to add some sort of attack while running, then they can start remove ranged attcks.

peregrine have some bitterness for Archer....lol

Peregrine is pretty bitter about a lot of stuff till SE themselves say something even if others say the exact same thing, like the whole "event taking developers time from important matters" he was adamant that it was and would attack anyone who says otherwise then SE says the exact same thing that quite a few people said (that it doesn't) and his personality takes a complete 180.

So there's nothing wrong with fighting enemies at a range, but peregrine is one of those "hardcore" players and will see anything as trying to take the easy way out.

Peregrine evidently never got invited to the party in 11.
Maybe that was less about having the wrong job, and more about telling people ad infinitum how the game has to be and how the rules have to be when most of them have another opinion.
Just a guess.

If she's fine with goats snorting you to Valhalla and pugs sneezing you to death - well, to each one his own fantasy world. I prefer dragons that bite to those that cough me to the afterlife.

And for the record: I was a monk. And in Balista, I was shot to pieces from afar more than once. But If I got hold of any of 'them archers, they were dead within 3 seconds.

Go and try to tank a charging Elephant head-on. Your funeral.

Yes.
And I prefer ways that are not artifical, contrived and ridiculous. Like tiny squirrels that are magically able to penetrate my 2-inch steel breastplate with an acorn thrown from a 50 yard distance.

You are playing a game where knights fight on ostriches, toads are the size of kiosks, and walking plants that have more teeth than sharks! Those squirrels need SOME way to kill you!
