[Suggestion] Puffs of Dust

[Armatus]

Not sure what everyone is talking about arrows not being visable. I see them. Anyway this dust thing should be relative to environment and distance of course...... so maybe more so on a dry dusty map than a lush wooded glen.

I would also like to see this or some other way to see how far your arrows went. I always had an issue with not being able to see arrows. I even tried to add the crazy 'big arrow' mod and I changed the color of them to bright orange, and it still didn't work very well.

i like the idea, the arrows could be made more visible but the dust puffs sounds awesome!

 

[Tercero]

i agree with this suggestion

The thing is with maps such as Ruined Fort, where one hill dominates the surroundings, you can shoot far beyond your usual bow range to try and hit people. The thing is, even with the zoom on, when trying to snipe people down, you can barely make out where your arrow hit.

So err, just to say something against the "if you can't see the arrow, you prolly couldn't have hit anyone there anyway" point.

Realism-wise? No.
Gameplay-wise? Yes.

As long as they are small, but then I don't see how this will help you when it's so small you can't see it anyway. If many people are hitting the same target what good is that if you can't tell which one is yours?

It's supposed to be difficult to see things that are far away. Argh.

I s'pose they put that zoom just so we could get a better glimpse at them shiny armors, right?

Just a side note, any of you wanting this as a gameplay performance enhancement just take a lesson from JethroKirby in warband. That guy is a deadeye with a long bow, it takes two people to distract him from a target and if you give him longer than one second to size you up, your dead.

maybe he should make a tutorial...

Quite possibly. It's been in the game since 0.632 if I remember right. I think it's just something people are used to now and don't question.

Make the arrow more visible in flight and increase the zoom to be able to follow arrow path.
Maybe add side note about range like.You shot ??? difficulty ??? range ???
