Thread: How far can you throw a Ranged Stim?

It is an intresting subject.

I throw poisons at some seventy odd meters but my ranged stims only reach as far as 37 meters.

Now, how many of you think this will cause some trouble when the devs finaly manage to fix our poisoning range?

Ranged stims and poisons were supposed to of been fixed last November, they only ended up fixing stims which used to throw the same distances as poison do now.

I reported this whenI was a correspondent. Never heard anything back on it. Used to be that you could throw both for double the distance as a master. The patch (I forget whichnumber exactly) that stated CM range would be reduced to 64m did not reduce poisons/diseases to 64m but did shorten healing stims, which are very hard to get long distances on because there is no subcomponent that can be experimented for range like dispersal mechanisms.


I know Texxie is very busy, but we can poke him in the ribs on this one. I am interested in it now that you bring it up again.

Ow! Stop poking me! It hurts...



It's actually something I have on my short list of things to bug the devs with when the time comes. Among them are:



  • Response on Top 5

  • Stim Range

  • Response on Top 5

  • Throwing Meds from Water

  • Response on Top 5

  • AoE Effect not being AoE when self targeted

  • Response on Top 5

etc, etc...


Just gathering information at the moment, taking apart dev posts and trying to figure some things out and how it would effect our profession. I don't want to harp too much on our issues, out of fear of alienating the Devs and having them simply ignore our requests. But I will keep plodding away at it

While you are at it though, can you see if we can get a response on the top 5?

Roughly 42-48m depending on server lag on distance for ranged/AoE Stims at MCM.

74 meters is maximum range on my healing stims, thrown at master. This appears to be the hard capped limit.
