[Fixed]Arrows fired from NPC archers are splitting and flying across the zone, some with curved path

may be related to healing rays traveling across the zone and lightning spells traveling across the zone?

Title: Arrow fired from NPC archers are splitting and flying across the zone
Reproduction Rate: not sure, saw it many times at least two zones.
Blocker? No
Details: See pics.
1) Issue 1: Sometimes when an archer fires an arrow, the white streak "streaming" effect of the arrow path would split and hit avatars far across the zone
2) Issue 2: Sometimes arrows seem to ricochet off me and continue off toward another avatar.
3) Issue 3: the arrow path is sometimes curved (seems to happen when the targeted avatar runs when the arrow is fired, the arrow acts as a homing missile and changes its path).
Steps to Reproduce: None

I had something similar to this today, and I actually notce in the combat logs, not a single arrow I fired hit my target, not 1, zip...

 

That's just trippy. I will submit this to the team. Thanks, @Rinaldi!

 

This is supposed to be fixed in the current patch. It's been heavily discussed in the ranged issues thread.

 

Hopefully fixed by today's patch.

 

This should be resolved with the latest patch to 536.

Thank you for reporting.
