At first this i s thing i have noticed playing my ranger, where sometimes when i finished fighting i end up with an arrow in my arrow like a sword. I cant do anything to get this arrow to go away other than rezoning. Alas as im starting to use an bow/arrow a little more with my bard it is also happening here as well.Anyone else?

It happens most often when you run out of arrows during a Multi Arrow ability like Triple Shot. Any illusion will get rid it of it as well as zoning.

<P>I have seen this with my ranger.... it took me zoning to clear it up.</P> <P> </P> <P>-Thornz</P> <P>Barb Ranger/Guk Server</P>

I have this issue too and sometimes I can't even see my off handed weapon. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Heya! I've had this happen as well, and it usually happens when I've run out of arrows in my equiped stack. I know it isn't a critical bug, but is irksome to be fighting with this arrow in my hand and I wish they would find a way to fix this without zoning...BAH!

<DIV>This happens every other time I run out of arrows. I just do an illussion like GoD to get rid of it.</DIV>

<DIV>Yea, only notice it when I run out on triple fire or something that takes more arrows than I have equipped. Annoying just as long as it takes for me to hit my Guise of Deciever tho.</DIV>

<P>This has happened since day 1. It is a minor bug. I have /bugged it numerous times and you should also. On the other hand, it is an obvious visual reminder that you need to put more arrows in your slot before the next pull.</P> <P>To remedy this, manage you inventory and make sure you always have enough arrows. I am sure that since this is a very minor bug that it will not get fixed for a long time.</P> <DIV>Kwentavius</DIV>

<font size="2"><font face="Arial">I think what we're seeing with this is the original intended behavior. A long while back, I seem to remember reading on one of these forum boards that the 'arrow in hand' was meant to be a visual cue that you were out of arrows in your ammo slot. While I like the idea of having a visual indicator that I'm out of arrows, it would be much better if the silly looking thing would go away when you refilled your ammo, instead of just having to put up with it until you happen to zone..</font></font> <div></div>

As much as it annoys me, that annoyance helps keep me on my toes to have my ammo slot full. The penalty is looking like a tool holding an arrow. <span><img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span> <div></div>

<DIV>Along this same line, over at the UI site, they have a little addition that places your Ammo slot box on your window statically. Meaning.... you have this little bity Ammo slot that you can place on your screen and see, at all times, how much ammo you have equiped.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Is what I use now and have not ran out since.</DIV>
<DIV>Its a minor bug and as i use my bow all the time now i think it actually looks quite cool, of course when your holding a melee weapon in hand with arow it doesnt... What bothers me more is after some fights in new bloodline instance you run off after looking like somethings been shoved where the sun dont shine..</DIV>
<FONT size=2></FONT> <DIV><FONT size=2>Ah. It's intended? What a dumb way to let me know I'm out of arrows. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Even if it is intended, it's probably not working as intended...cuz you'd think the arrow would go away once you reload, no?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>I may look into the custom UI option mentioned earlier in the thread. Frankly, I'd love to see SOE implement some kind of warning when you only have ~20 rounds left. Granted, it would deprive me of my opportunity to do a Roland Deschain-like reload on the fly (while kiting, b/w bowshots), but I think I could live without that. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>if you move forward and back quickly it will look like you are conducting an orchestra</DIV> <DIV>also</DIV> <DIV>if you equip a rapier it will appear to have a cool wooden blade and a arrowhead on the tip</DIV>
