Hitboxes should be bigger?

[Fluffy]

Is it just me or some skills' hit boxes are tooo small? I am playing marksman and it feels like my arrow skills are needle-thick which brings a lot of discomfort while playing cause they miss my enemies too often. I always play archer-type characters in ARPGs and i dont remember having this kind of problem in any other game

Noticed this too, I ended up using Flurry for larger targets only then Cinder for packs, and smaller targets for the explosion, there are some other area skills for the rogue too to mix in like Flask

Just bought the game recently. I'm playing Marksman too, and it's completely broken. Sometimes I can't hit anything no matter where I aim. The red outline is showing and everything, but zero hits. The only way out in those situations is AoE. And this often happens with boxes and other destructibles as well. I just had a moment where I was running around an enemy, and not a single arrow of flurry would hit him. No matter what. Wish I was screen recording that.
And it's not just flurry, other non AoE abilities do that too. Million copies sold, tons of positive reviews.... but the combat is broken. How did nobody notice? It can't be just the 2 of us.

It's not just you 2. This has been a known bug with projectiles in the game. Going back to when 0.9 MP patch launched. Can't remember if this bug was pre multiplayer patch or not. Don't think it was

Flurry and detonating arrow are the 2 skills that suffer the worst from this projectile bug.

Currently the only bow build worth even playing right now. Is a multishot build.

This build has great clearing. Using flurry as a channeled skill to proc multishot

That's been my experience too. If this is a "known bug" then I hope it's getting fixed.

I was really confused about all the positivity surrounding this game, when I created my first character and saw the combat being completely broken :)

Its being fixed in 1.0 just wait a bit

Let's hope so as well as a fix for det arrow barrage node. This node doesn't fire the cone behind the target. It's random where the cone goes.

If both aren't fixed they might was well remove the region of winter bow. Used to make a bow mage build. Cuz that build will be unplayable

to be honest, i've been running puncture + detonating arrow build while leveling until lvl 75 i guess and despite the bugged hitbox issue it was still blasting, so it works kinda. Also, da/puncture arent really viable end game builds so you eventually swap to multishot/hail of arrows anyways. That being said, marksman is still an enjoyable class but i really hope they'll fix it by the 1.0 release

Yea, I get it, but using different abilities isn't the point. This is broken and needs to be fixed.

I know. If it's not bow builds will be down to just multishot. As I mentioned how it is currently.

Hell rouge is my favorite class it saddens me that other bow builds just flat out don't work

It's now 2025 and hit box still needs a fix. It feels like it got even worse. There are 3, 4 pixels you need to catch to get the hit box. Frustraiting and unplayable to me.
