- experimental archer los change
-- archery will now also use server side line of sight instead of client side
-- this should fix the cases where archer can shoot but casters can't or vice versa

The los change could also mean that archer won't be able to attack certain keep doors that casters can't attack either. The tower slits on keeps will be affected, there appears to be an invisible wall in the server side los which until this update only affected casters but will now also affect archer after the update.

Is it possible to have the 1.4sec arrow immunity?

I am thinking:

If received damage = physical
&
If received damage (owner), distance from 'me' >500
&
If received damage (owner) class = Scout or Ranger or Hunter

Then receive buff "arrow immunity"

If received damage = physical
&
If received damage (owner), distance from 'me' >500
&
If received damage (owner) class = Scout or Ranger or Hunter
&
If 'me' has 'arrow immunity' buff
Then
Damage=0

Arrow immunity buff duration = 1.4second

That’s one of the worst idea I ve read here. Why not remove the archers then ? It’s easier.

Its meant to remove archer assists in exchange for increased archery damage.

I think its a great idea. Its the scourge of this server. Wouldnt be as bad if they couldnt do it from 3000 units away because of elevation.

Still LOS problems:
Click here: »» Door not in view ««
and:
Click here: »» Ram not in view ««

This images are only an example, for door, it happens on numerous keep/tower, for LOS on ram, its on every keep/tower.
