Invisible Bows

[jamespal]

So I cant see my Windforce when i look on my other acccount, someone said it was bugged and will be deleted next patch...??? what does bugged mean in general?

What is happening here is that you don't have enough natural strength/dexterity to wear the bow. So you have charms and equipment bonuses that allow it to be worn. However when you equip something in that way any other character that looks at you can't see your bow. It's still there an will not get deleted for being equipped this way. It's a very common practice.

Do you mean you can't see it displayed on whatever character is using it ...when you are viewing that character from the point of view of a seperate account and logged in in the same game?

It's likely caused by the strength bug/glitch.

Your amazon does not have the required strength needed for the bow, but gets it from charms or other sources, thus the display bug. If you can see it while playing that character, then you are fine.

you are weaing windforce on a character and you can use that wf on that char though an other char can't see you use wf and it looks like you throw arrows with your hands?

It's a simple strength bug and it probably due to the fact that you use str from charms to wear the windforce? Or some other place where you get str from - although I think only charms count. Anyway, there is notting wrong with your windforce and it will not be deleted - and even if it were, it's not like there ever is going to be a new patch anyway. If you want to be sure that this is the reason, you can take of all charms - normally, your windforce will get a red background - (and perhaps equipment) and add str untill you can use your windforce - untill it gets a white background. Now everyone should see your windforce, the only problem is that your will have messed up the build by giving to much str.
So don't do this unless you really know that you want to.

P.S. never thrust - or was it trust? - bnet rumors.

Three responses almost at the same time :P

your char is fine and your wf won't be deleted. It's just a bug.

P.S Don't trust what the peep on b.net, 9/10 they don't know what they are talking about. By far, imo this forum is the most friendly and knowledgable place to get information.
