Hey guys, there's also a way to make all the brushes and shrubs (and "farm crops") appear flat on the ground.

So you can see right through them like they are flat on the ground, while people with their default (read noob) settings have to worry about seeing around these obstacles.

I bet you could also make character models have massive spikes coming out of them and have it indicate which way they are facing, this will allow you to sneak up on people easier.

Would it be cool to make my walls semi-transparent?  I mean not fully transparent, that would be totally cheating.

I shouldn't have to do this, but I'm sure some people's detectors are broken:  /sarcasm

I remember when I was in the Ninja clan, one of the members (don't remember who) had this glitch where the walls / buildings of the map just went completely invisible, so he was able to see what was on the other side of the wall, but he didn't know it was there either :P

I have been using this crosshair about half an year now. It has this color scale which indicates how far target is. It is awesome because it can help u to revise distance from u to a target pretty well. I have find this helpfull  especially against distant targets like cavalery.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

In reality it's not THAT bad, but where do you draw the line?  Neon colored arrows?  Neon colored weapons?  Flattening bushes into the ground?  Having a spikey arrow show the direction a player is facing (that pokes through walls), making the wall files transparent?

I prefer to leave most of my games graphics/UI default, except for what you can customize in game.  I realize this is going to put me at a disadvantage when I'm running through a field of corn, but I'm okay with that.

I just pretend that the enemies who "mysteriously see me in the middle of the corn field" have some superhuman sense of smell or something. Makes it more fun when you kill them too! :D
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

I just want a tiny dot in the middle where the IDEAL arrow would go with no drop. That's it. I can mentally account for drop over distance, and I know how to count so I'll know when my accuracy has gone bad since I've held it for too long.
I just want a dot. Just a tiny dot. Doesn't have to grow and shrink, nothing. I've never been able to find anything like that, but I haven't looked very hard. I don't need the game holding my hand, it only messes up my aim.

Does anybody know of such? Link me, seriously. it'd make my life when I am archer much easier than these dumb crosshairs. Minimalist tiny dot or x in the middle.

That's why I never changed mine since I edited with mad pro Paint skills. The bigger it gets, the more distracted you'll be.

I don't think that's possible. Unless you're using fpp mode the arrow release point is way lower than your eyes level, meaning even if we made make a crosshair that matches arrow's position at some point, it would be only at that certain point, after that the arrow would go above it. In other words, you'd need to "calibrate" that crosshair on particular distance and for particular bow. But obviously arrows don't go in straight line, so what could be done is to use the crosshair to mark flying arrow's highest point before the drop and don't ever touch your +/- buttons on tpp camera control. Still though you'd need to aim above to hit targets that are closer than this ideal range (and it all stops working when you're shooting above or below too).

Or you could just paint a dot on your screen like everyone else.  :wink:

I downloaded Meows crosshair but it feels kind a different "weird" like it some how calculates altitude somehow differently. Meow is there something more about this crosshair than it looks?

Kinda possible it's Y axis placement is different because when I still played I adjusted it for 3rd person view at mid range with a tatar bow but I thought I readjusted it to native settings.
Best way to find out is to take a screen with the default and mine then check those.

Something like that looks almost perfect, even if it isn't my ideal case.
I want something small like that, maybe even smaller.

you should upload that/tell me how you did it

that's fine. have it adjusted for 5 meters distance from first person, 100% accurate. make that a tiny .  like this period.

I noticed that i dont have to aim so much over at long ranges.
