[Bug .650] Archers/Xbows not aiming when firing.

[LittleGuy]

At medium to long range sometimes it appears that enemy archers/xbowmen are not aiming their weapons when they fire. It's been catching me off guard all morning watching a range troop standing there looking at me and then catching a bolt/arrow in the face. Will attempt to update with screen shots, though they might be hard to come by. -_-

This is actually not exclusive to this patch. It happened to me every once in a while during the last patch. Perfectly possible that the problem has worsened in this one though (I don't know as I'm still at blasted work and haven't gotten to play yet!).

Edit: it is supremely annoying though. I'd be willing to help you test/get screenies this evening, if you wanted.

Perhaps it is lag? I have never noticed this problem.

Perhaps it is lag? I have never noticed this problem.

I've seen this once and I thought it was a one-time lag issue as well.

I've noticed this once before and I'm pretty sure it was lag.

i've notice that just with xbows :S

Experienced the same thing in 0.641 as well. It is not exclusive to archers/xbowmen only. I was hit with quite a few throwing axes/javs when my opponent stood still (on my monitor, of course).
