Banner's range

Cole Bondo · 01-05-2007, 02:30 AM

Is the range of the Banners of Hope and Victory starting to really annoy anyone else? The herald already stays a good distance from us when running, and due to the fact that he tends to run in a bit of a zig zag, you lose the effect in no time and then have to wait for your morale/power tick back up again when he catches up.

I say increase the range significantly. I can't really see any reason not to.

I agree, i often noticed either power or moral bar jumping up and down while going places (alone or with team).

yeah agreed
tho its not a banner thing tbh, its a pet pathing. its annoying, but understandable if you slide down a cliff, it wont follow. but when u jump down a 3 foot bank and the pet goes on a 5 mile detour is a bit pathetic.

Aye, especially when it can jump, if you jump afence it will also jump it. It should follow you down cliffs, you are the captain...you tell it what to do!

Aaah, that is so annoying. We do run slightly faster than it too, because he can't run in a straight line, just zigs and zags a little instead of curved turning. My improved herald of hope gives about 400morale now, our minstrel panics every time when out of the blue a great big chunk of his life(roughly 1/3) vanishes as Useless, that's his name, goes on a walkabout.

Should change how the buff works, like keep it as aura, but make the buff stick up to 1 minute away from the herald, which should be ample time for him to catch up.
Oooor just triple the range or so.

Yes, this was commented in Beta, but I guess they haven't got around to changing it...

In a Group this is really annoying.
When running, the herald is always out of range from the firsts in the fellowship (usually the tank) and they lose 500 morals. It is quite a shunk in their bars...
