Can anyone confirm that VK's which are made today have 3m range? Do we all need to get brand new ones?

I was just fighting some Squills on Tatooine and I was hitting them while they were 5m away. It seems to work for my character.

I really don't think it's something in the weapon itself, i think it's in the engine, so the age of your VKs should NOT matter. But i got some new ones post-patch, and it's still doing it. It took me **edit** near a minute to kill a FANNED RAWL. come on now.

3 meters range means you can hit halfway into 4 meters. 5 meters range means you can hit halfway into 6 which is the same as our unarmed. If you can hit farther sometimes, it's probably because you are on a slope (i really don't know...even without vk's, i can't hit past 6).

Meanwhile, fencers are making this huge argument based on how we got our range upped to 5 meters and how our unarmed range is 8 meters (gee...where'd they get this idea?) while their weapons are only 4 meters range (meaning they can hit halfway into 5 meters). You guys have got them all confused thinking they have less range than us when they actually have more. Way to go.

I was able to shoot things @ 66m away. no kiddin'. they were sittin' there and the target range show 66 boom keep shootin' 'em up with my pistol!

No the 5 meter range does not work yet.. we still cannot hit snakes with VKs on.

We are the builders of a greek world where the greek gods come down everyday and destroy what we have created and enjoy.

I've been having this same problem with Torturs and Tortur Bulls. I can't hit them, but they have no trouble biting the **edit** out of me. The only thing i can do is run under him and maybe get in two hits before it happens again. VERY annoying. WHY THE HELL WOULD WEARING SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHORTEN RANGE ANYWAY?! seriously.

Ok i couldnt hit the following creatures:


Fambaa
Dewbacks(this is a new one)
Fanned rawl
Giant Peko Peko
Malkloc


They all fall into 3 or so model types. Fambaa wants to be 8 m away, dewbacks want to be 6m away, fanned rawls want to be 5m away, all out of range of 4m VKs. Just upping to 5m WILL NOT HELP. I may actually have a chance against a Fambaa(yellow to me). But not if I cant hit it. If I actually lived long enough to see my range errors against a Krayt or Kimo, then I might be having problems with them also.

I was using my VK's against stationary targets (i.e. lairs) to test the distance. They were hitting at 5m and out of range when I stepped to 6m. I have had these VK's for over a month.

Just my 2 credits worth...

Partial 5m for me, heh. I was just edged into 5m and missing my target. I edged even closer (still at 5m) and I could hit. Maybe it rounds up or down (whichever is closest).

Bump... This was supposed to be in the patch but didn't make it in.

I think you just picked the wrong snake to mess with . The crystal snakes on yavin have been known to be bugged for quite some time. In fact I can't even target the things with my mouse the only valid targeting method I have is to use the tab key. Which would make the bloody things near impossible to hit. I suggest heading to endor, or lok and fighting some of the mean snakes there to test your 5m range. Until they fix the crystal snake bugs it's just pointless to measure your range against them.
