| Author | Question about Ricochet |
|---|
Ok so I have noticed the following several times but waited to post a query until i had some speculation as to the cause.
In several battles (i now believe its only when i have allies so either a group hunt or pvp team battle) i have shot at a stack and either had no ricochet, despite that what i was shooting at was not a demon stack, or had less than the 4 strikes that the ricochet should do.
I believe I have narrowed down the cause to be this: If there is an allied stack closer to the last creature to be struck than the next closest target for the ricochet the volley stops.
example diagram: X=enemy O=ally the number corresponds to the order struck by the range shot.
-1X--2X-O--X--X
so in the above diagram since my ally is closer to 2x than what would be 3x the ricochet stops after 2x.
Is that correct? |
| maybe a link to a battle where this happens could help explain it better? |
I think that there is a distance relationship as well, if the next target is too far away it doesn't fire. (I have looked too)
I have also seen a ricochet hit an ally. |

I don't think there's a distance issue. Ricochet appears to go on despite huge distances. |
distance is not a problem.
U are right xinj, if the nearest(next) target is a non demon friendly stack the shot stops there. |
thanks alyna. the first time i saw it happen i was tired and not paying close attention. after i saw it again i realized i hadn't dreamt it and had to figure out what was going on.
it happens on my first shot when i was helping in this hunt. ricocheted once and stopped. i have other examples but im too lazy to go looking for them.
