Guild Wars 2

Many times, to maximize effectiveness with my ranger, I will zoom in and shoot manually. This reduces your peripheral vision but allows you to aim and hit say, a thief who just tried to stealth for a rez, with a concussion shot. You can also shoot up keep walls this way. It requires skill and is very cool.

My suggestion is to make a reticle appear when zoomed to aid in the aiming process.

Where should the reticle sit? Especially when you’re talking about a bow that doesn’t shoot straight.

There was a mod for GW2 soon after launch that added a reticle and changed skills to a Tera-style combat system.

It looked fantastic, since Tera’s combat system is far more fluid than GW2’s…

…so naturally ANet shut it down because it was 3rd party.

LOL. Clicking one mouse button is more fluid then hitting 1,1,1,1,

Ya I thought about that problem. It can’t precalculate where the arrow lands due to computational constraints, right? So the reticle has to be stationary. In this way it works much like an iron sight on a rifle in that it’s to be used as a point of reference for you to make a judgement with.
