Why are they not visible? You exchange a range weapon it does same effect as if you was to take at a weapon. A range weapon should be the primary weapon to be seen on a ranger. They can make it so they are to because they done it with the elite guard in the windurst missions. If I was a rng that what id be asking the developers to do:biggrin:
 
touche, i have to agree!
 
No real reason from what I can tell. The ranged weapons are actually under your character when you walk around.

Hmm actually... SE probably thought about how messed up it would look for someone weilding a gaxe/scythe/gsword/polearm to have a bow in the same space.
 
I think it would make the characters looked cluttered walking around, even rangers. When the rangers have bows in the CS they usually don't have any other weapons showing that I could tell. I think a large bow on your back and two axes on your side would look funny.

Plus in a fight you can't hold the bow and be dual wielding at the same time.
 
Well, they do actually show when you do the ranged attack. Thats what it does when your char disappears. It loads the weapon
 
i think if players had the option of holding their weapons in different positions it would be nice and solve the problem

i always wanted to be able to carry my scimitar on my back or something like that not like the way gaxes or scythes are but side to side

you could also offer different ways to hold a weapon(s) vary with what gear you wear
 
Seeing corsairs walk around with guns at their side would be kind of scary. I'd be afraid to leave my mog house at night.
 
Nothing beats using a ranged attack, parry midway through the animation, and watch your weapon come out of nowhere and your bow fail to reload....
 
i like making the axe-bow

use your ra a second before you attack and your attack messes it up so you are using a axe/sword/whatever to shoot zee peoples
 
I can't wait until SE releases their next MMO. I'm tired of the PS2 limiting my PC version.
 
gimp doesn't even begin to describe it lol... I moved to TN about oh 8 years ago... Another year or so prior to that I remember advertising for the PS2... Its had a good long life, but srsly - time to move on lol
 
Why not just make seperate versions of the PC/360 and PS2 games? Put the higher quality versions in the PC version and let the PS2'ers work with what they have.

I know that PS2 has a lower quality setting as it is, but they could just overhaul what the PC people have so it looks a bit better. Hell, the only thing I would like are things like visible capes/ranged weapons and weapons/armor that LOOK enchanted. Kinda like they have in WoW. ie. a weapon with an additional effect of fire/ice/thunder/stone/wind/water actually LOOKS like its on fire or covered with frost or thunder or something to that effect. I mean its not impossible.

I know that there are people who make .dat swaps for gear and such, but are there people making dat swaps for things like environments or enhances to already existing weapons/gear?

Click to expand...

You mean after playing FFXI you'd touch another SE MMO? I know they've improved somewhat recently, but I couldn't be paid to play another MMO made by these people.
