radar shrink down what you see in the screen into very tiny map
I bet you will have better judgement where you should stand by seeing through the screen than radar | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-11-2006, 12:21 PM | #6 (permalink) | | Pai Pai Lackey Super Moderator Join Date: Feb 2003 Posts: 5,242 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 4 Thanked 29x in 24 Posts Gil: 40,320 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 40,320 Donate | Re: compass? | Originally Posted by VZX | better rely on the real distance (what you see on screen) rather than the radar

I bet you will have better judgement where you should stand by seeing through the screen than radar | Depending on the perspectives and resolution you use though the real distance you see on screen can varry. Better to use a combination of both to check yourself so you can be more certain of your distance. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 08-14-2006, 01:16 PM | #7 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 20 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 1,495 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,495 Donate | Re: compass?

It seems that the range also varies slightly on different weps themselves, the sweet spot for my lvl 25 x-bow i was using was closer than the Zamburak+1 I am using now, took me a moment to realize this after i switched weps.
