The new arrows are hard to see!

[Branches]

(I know they aren't really "new" anymore, but you know what I mean.)

So basically since the in-flight arrow animation was changed a good while ago it has been VERY difficult for me to see where arrows are landing when firing at targets of any reasonable distance. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but I honestly couldn't believe it when I didn't find any posts on this. I used to play exclusively archer and now haven't played one in months. I just can't see where I'm shooting. The problem is always troubling but made much worse against various backgrounds such as grass.

Perhaps you could make arrows appear thicker while in flight or add some sort of blur effect which widens their image. I do like how the in-flight arrows are actually arrows now and not just blurry stakes, but it is my opinion that at such a cost the old models were superior. Tell me what you think!

open item_kinds1.txt in your cRPG folder with notepad and replace these

barbed_arrows_flying_h1
bodkin_arrows_flying_h1
tatar_arrows_flying_h1
arrows_flying_h1

with

flying_missile

Awesome!  Thank you! ^^


(Would be better if you didn't have to modify the game files though, I'm sure most people would never do this and so by default would inherit a significant disadvantage.)

I have no problem seeing arrows in the air... maybe you should invest in some glasses?

I demand laser guided arrows...

I assure you my vision is superb and I have no interest in laser guided arrows.

Ptolemy when you say you have no trouble seeing arrows I wonder if perhaps your talking about seeing the arrows that others have shot? If this is the case I agree that there is no real issue there. The problem lies in trying to determine where exactly your fired arrows are landing at range especially with certain backdrops such as grass. If I'm not experiencing a graphical phenomenon, which I don't believe to be the case, then I think anyone would agree with me that arrows have become significantly harder to see for the archer shooting them when firing at range.

I'm not asking for some trajectory display or "laser guided arrows" just arrow flight animations more similar to those used in native/those which used to be used in CRPG.

I hope I've adequately described by position. Thanks for your comments so far! ^^

Indeed, I was merely joking.

Arrows are honestly quite often difficult to see/track in regards to trajectory.

Add in messed up hitboxes and the fun never stops.

I mean in both cases. When I play my archer I have no problem seeing where my arrows land.. maybe I just pay more attention to where I'm shooting than you do? Not hating, just saying
 because I have no problems... I find it hard to believe that I'm special in this, but I dunno, maybe I am.
