SWEET BABY JESUS YES!!!

Tom Cruise — use your witchcraft to put out the magical fire of AWESOMESAUCE!!!!

In the current beta build there is… NO MINIMUM RANGE ON SHOTS!!!!

After wrestling with some odd errors I was finally advised to delete some random folders here and there and got into the beta… rushes to Ironforge, leapt over to my favorite target dummy, got in melee range, swung my axe a few times… then started shooting!

It does appear that this only applies to our special shots. In melee range we still use our melee attack instead of auto-shot. But still, whatever, this is brilliant!

Suddenly everything seems so much brighter. Colors are more vivid. Life is wonderful!

    Looks like this will be changing – http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/26560767304/hunter-minimum-range-removed/:(

  11. Cheyenné says:

    Im sorry to report to you Frostheim it is a bug. GC just made a post in the DD forums that they didn’t remove they minimal range intentionally its a bug

    I was hoping you would realize the implication of this act if it was true. Do you realize what they would have to do to the class to keep us from being face roll op in PvP if the minimal range was taken away?

  12. Frostheim says:

    Yeah yeah, rub it in.

    The implication? Of being able to balance pvp? You’re suggesting that a ranged class that could use it’s abilities in melee would be broken and become a faceroll…. like every single other ranged class in the game?

    The min range mechanic is a clunky, poorly thought-out mechanic that makes pvp balance against melee effectively impossible, and removes decision making and strategy from the game.

  13. Cheyenné says:

    Well let me put it this way im sure they wouldnt beable to do anything more for the class

    Couldnt you here Blizz now

    Nope cant do that you have no min range now

  14. Yenea says:

    Hm, my beta client also crashes when i try to log in with my huntard. What folders are a good idea to delete?

  15. Kelanil says:

    Yenea the in the data file just rename the cache folder. That fixed my issues with logging on for Beta.

  16. Yenea says:

    Thank you, but that did not work out for me. Now I´ll simply reinstall everthing ^^

  17. Fradin says:

    I wish the minimum range would go away that would be great but I cant see it happening Blizzard does not want hunters to be like that and they have stated it numerous times :( .

  18. Arthemystia says:

    What happened to the pistol idea? They keep dangling the no-min-range carrot in front of us, then yanking it away. From now on, I’m not believing any of this stuff until I see it (no ammo, pet scaling, etc.).

    Though I kinda understand not getting rid of it. Aren’t we the only class that HAS to stay at range? I suppose it would be silly to have all ranged classes at melee range.

    Damn …no more excuse for being in completely the wrong place :D

    But on a srs note,if this is implemented it’s great news. (fingers crossed)
