Many of the aqua goblins in dagnors cauldon also used to use bows. It would be great to see this return.

That's true they did.

Fixed, pending update.

I am not sure if they do or not here, but the ogre guards in Oggok should be shooting you with arrows also.

So classic!

You got centaur archers and gnolls in Blackburrow?

*cheer* thanks for that fix ! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

dont know if this works that way but search all bow-wielding npcs and make them use them ?

[nilbog]

We could use a more consolidated list of npcs that should use archery. kanras did a lot of them with implementation. This research can be outsourced.


Kroldir_Thunderhoof,centaur_sheltie,centaur_archer ,centaur_foal,centaur_charger,
centaur_courser,Ulan_Meadowgreen,Shakrn_Meadowgree n,Coloth_Meadowgreen,
a_gnoll,Kithicor,Sil_Silverstar,Cei_Sunjumper,Meth a_Wintersong,Vali_Greenwhisper,
a_deepwater_goblin,a_goblin_net_master,tainted_aqu agoblin,corrupted_shaman,

Dwigus_Lowater,Bilge_Farfathom,an_aqua_goblin_mari ner,

I'm very happy it works now!

This was likely the first step taken. However, loot tables are not always correct. Might be a good idea to npc magelo search 'Arrow' and go from there.

Added: Peffin Ambersnow, all the rooted crossbow guards in thurgadina

guess i was wrong :/

Out of curiosity, is it possible to implement this classic behavior?

Another good method of employing this tactic is on things with bows - like the centaurs in Sk. Whack two centaurs, run away and get them to chase - they'll chase you single file, one after the other...meaning the one in back will shoot the one in front in the ass with an arrow at some point or another. FD and watch the one in front go after the one in back, and pick off whoever is still alive at the end.

Or is that not possible because of the way ranged attacks are coded?

When camping my Druid epic on live I explicitly remember this being a common strategy.

You would hide behind Deep and aggro the goblins and they would shoot at you and hit Deep. Deep would destroy them. Saves you the mana of clearing PHers.
