Ranged attack "auto follow"

I think there needs to be a discussion regarding the ranged ability and it not "auto following" when trying to attack someone due to being out of range.


I think we need to have this ability CHANGED BACK to how it was, and allow our character to auto follow until in range and can shoot someone.  This is very frustrating with a crossbow or when you are 1 square away and try to fight someone and your character will just stand there and not shoot from afar.  this can make it very difficult for pure rangers with 10hp and big team battles when shooting asap is necessary .  half the time you think you are in range and your guy stands there looking dumb and wont shoot. 


what is everyone's opinions on getting this "auto follow" ability enabled again for rscrevolution pkers as i personally would think it would make the game more fun and allow people to actually want to use their range ability without it being a big inconvenience every time you want to attack someone.


Lets make pking fun again!


Lets discuss, and go…….

The only issue I see with this is someone with multiple accounts abusing it. You would no longer need to keep switching windows to attack but instead just simply click once with 15 accounts and they will follow the person to death. (if that's not what your talking about disregard) Now if it simply followed them until in range of attacking and didn't follow them once they started running I would totally be down with that.

You'd still need to control multiple windows because follow is very broken in RSCR. Even a tiny tree stump will often stop a follow command from working and the following character stops moving.

Even in RSC you got hung up on objects, especially bridges and stuff.

This "auto follow with ranged" was replicated in RSCR. It was removed due to players overwhelmingly pushing for it to be removed (because of the pking issue that was mentioned above).

I could see an issue with multiple accounts but there should be a way to make it fun still and prevent that from happening. I cant even have fun because 50% of the time he wont shoot when im trying to attack and I miss out on kills because hes just standing there thinking that hes about to start shooting. there has to be a fine line from using multiple accounts to pk and being able to range from a reasonable distance without your character not moving whatsoever bc youre 1 sq out of range.  what are pure rangers suppose to do with 10hp?  they have rto literally run up on the people fighting and then get 1 hit lol

Everyone signs with blood to stop gangbangs that happen in Wilderness and we add it back. There was a reason why it was removed and until the reason for us to not have it remains, this feature is not coming back. Fact is that Wilderness, community and amount of players we have has changed since early 2000s and we need to adapt, removing auto following is one of the things we adapted.

RSCR is ripped on for being -replica, but there are very good reasons for why we move away from original game mechanics and ignoring the need for it would just kill the game.

1 IP did not work in the past, at all. Currently, east wildy is 1 IP and it isn't even utilized??

We understand that this affects builds, but for the time being, auto-follow is off.

In my vision, the wilderness as it was created cant support the gameplay, char amount and player base we have today. Over time we will move away from wilderness as we all remember it, simply because its impossible to make it fun in today's environment. We can try, and we do, but i personally see a future only in event based fights that we see on WoW Battlegrounds and some other mmorpgs. That is the reason I made 1v1 tournaments and other automated events we have, i just did not see a way to make wilderness fun for casual players when there is a bunch of hardcore players waiting for them.

There are plans of how to make wildy more fun, but stuff takes time, especially when at the moment full focus of the team is on upcoming xmas content.

shit, pointless account.

go ahead staff, make it auto follow again, watch this guy come back here asking for it to be changed back when the person using 5 accounts to kill him uses 10 instead, just because they can :joy:

I did not say that RSCR ever will be without wilderness, I'm saying that it's difficult or next to impossible to make it fun for everyone. So instead of making it fun for only one group of people. I believe we should introduce more PvP options rather than focus on one way of fighting and blindly replicate content and hope for the glory days to come back.
