Bad bad physics

WTF NPC's can shoot their arrows right through walls and columns and big rocks etc. etc.

You can't run behind something to hide when in a fight because they shoot right through whatever rock or column you try to hide behind.

This is really bad.

Can't they do something about that?

Least of the games worries right now!

This is absolutely correct, OP. Not only that, but every projectile is homing, so if you don't dodge BEFORE the projectile is released, you can't escape the damage. Add to that latency, and you're far better off anticipating, rather than reacting. I often find myself having to "queue" skill abilities, and hope they fire off correctly on where I think the enemies will be in half a second, and dodge when I "think" a thrown dagger might be on its way. As far as hiding behind rocks, crates, barrels, forget about it. Many of your ranged attacks will miss, but the enemies' are undeterred.

@WylieCoyote1511 is right though, they're not going to fix this soon, if ever.

I like it, although is hard for some, it really adds some amount of skill to the game, besides just grinding and number crunching skills, the only reason I can solo world bosses is because i'm good at dodging and blocking, and attack with magic
