Tinted Ranged Attack Hotkey Icon not working properly

Now this isn't a game breaking thing, but it is rather annoying.When you have extension your range is extended to 40.2 meters, but the ranged auto attack icon still tints out at 35 meters.

Good catch ! I was going to use my free respec after the last patch and test this as I had a feeling it wouldn't work, but you've saved me :smileyvery-happy: Does AA still fire and it's just a tint problem, or does AA stop working now ?Here's betting that after GU32 when you're using the new arrows with the increase ranged buff it will probably get broken again....j/k, but I couldn't resist a little dig at the devs there....hopefully they'll prove me wrong and I'll eat my hat....providing Hoo'loh hasn't run off with it that is...:smileyvery-happy:

All CAs are tinting correctly, and as far as I could see the auto attacks were firing off just fine, just annoying is all.

So you have to start with a CA, you can't start with auto-attack?I know it's not that big of a deal, but it has been required on occasion (switching targets in combat)

Oh no Teksun, you can still use the hotkey for ranged auto attack, it's only that the newly added tinting of it does not properly change to your range, but stays on default.. therefore you will see ranged auto attack looking really red, and you might get confused with your placement. I have also noticed that it's generally not working very well. tinting at 11m f. ex

That's good to here.I'm still considering going this route. I also want the 45m bow, eventually.
