Guild Wars weekend

[Drasca]

Wonder why the bow and arrow thing did not work.  Probably was working and I just did not notice the effects.

At that time, there is no force fire. No abilty to shoot, swing or sling spells randomly into the air. From a lag/synch standpoint, it makes sense. Target the enemy and shoot using his server-side location, not some player-side location which may or may not be the same place as where he "actually" is.

I admit this method is tactically limiting,--and confusing for us "fire into the air" folk used to Diablo, et al. However, your bow worked the same way as other attacks. Target an enemy (with C or Tab etc), and hit spacebar/action--or just left click the enemy. That should select and begin attacking.

Personally what I'd like to see is the ability to target allies for destructive area of effect spells. It won't hurt them, as there's no friendly fire, but it'd be easier to aim against enemies around him.
