Guild Wars 2

Conan.8046:

Average effective pistol range is 30 meters (50 yards)
Grenade throw range – 30-35 meters by the average male soldier.
Mortar WW2 model – 2400 meters.
First shotgun like rifle – 30 – 60 meters effective (Brown Bess, next generation blunderbuss)

So by far the most silly is the mortar.

I wasn’t talking about effective range. But in game perspective we are all hero’s / expert marksmen so average does not really come into play. My point is only this you can not throw a grenade further than a bullet can travel.

TheGuy.3568:

Here are a few question.

Do you really want them to reduce the range on grenades?

Do you want them to increase the range on all ranged projectile sets including rifles and longbow for warriors, shortbow and pistol for thief, and longbow and shortbow for ranger?

Do you really want to challenge the reality of range in a game and not include infinite ammo as a complaint?

Does it even matter in a game?

As I said in a previous post this is more about my mind not wrapping around the fact that I can throw two grenades at once further than I can shoot a bullet. And yes I DO understand this is a game. It still seams a bit off. This is just my opinion.

I guess I should have not brought the word nerf into the topic. Please ignore that part.

Just to me it makes no sense that a grenade has the same range as the long bow or the rifle. In my opinion the range should be no more than the pistol which is 900. Now I understand it would be a nerf but its not that big of a nerf.

Also this is just my mind not being able to wrap around the fact that I can throw a 3 pound metal ball or two at the same time further than I can shoot a pistol.(and yes I understand it’s a game)

I have a question, not sure if its been brought up before searched the forum didnt get any results for it so I thought I would ask.

Why is the range on grenades more than the range on the pistol?

Even with the increased range for pistol trait the pistol has a 1050 range and the grenades have a 1200 range. While I understand this is a game it makes no sense that you can throw a grenade further than you can shoot a bullet.

Just wondering.
