Ranged Weapon Bug 10/21/2019 08:21 PM CDT
I've been losing arrows like crazy in Young Wyvern narrowed it down to a bug. I can recreate this instance fairly easy, have proven its a bug, needs fixed. Not sure whats triggering it to happen but I know how to make it happen. So the instance is pretty simple. So with 4 critters on me. have to be engaged by four and a 5th or more wyvern are in the room be it one walks in or youre hunting with someone, when I shoot my bow double loaded, aiming, it will fire randomly at critters that aren't facing me. It doesn't turn and face other critter because its shooting at a +5 and you can only have 4 on you. It's costing me arrows, because it happens i didnt know what was happening and the critter cant advance me because i have 4 on me then walks out of my room. see below for example

hunting with another, full aim, and i fire. get this FACE WHAT message which means I fired at a 5th+ crit. again i have 4 crits on me, im full aim on a wyvern when i fire get this message.

> fire

Face what?
FACE HELP for more information
< With the precision and elegance of a plunging goshawk, you fire a shadowy arsenic arrow at a young wyvern. A young wyvern fails to dodge, twisting partially away from much of the blow.
The arrow lands a powerful strike that rips a small chunk of flesh from the wyvern's left forearm, lightly stunning it.

The shadowy arsenic arrow lodges itself shallowly into the young wyvern!
[You're nimbly balanced and have slight advantage.]

[Wyvern Mountain, Breeding Grounds]
The sound of raging water comes from far below the high ledge, which juts out from the side of the mountain. Several abandoned nests lie here and there along the ledge, scattered with the bones of deer and other large game. Mist shrouds the mountain in a haze of thick cloud, hiding its secrets under the cover of night.
You also see a young wyvern, a young wyvern, a tiny faceted cerise tourmaline, a large orange agate, a young wyvern, a tiny green emerald, some silver coins, some bronze coins, a copper coin, a medium moss-green peridot, a medium sea-green chalcedony, an embroidery needle, a young wyvern, a medium purple agate, some silver coins, some bronze coins and some copper coins.

Do you just “aim” or do you “aim wyvern”?
