So with the combat system, is their a limit of range you get with bow and arrow? i used to shoot the arrow far far away at a target and still hit them ( if they were standing still)?

Welcome to the forums.

According to guys who played it on PAX, the range is quite limited, but could be considerably improved by unlocking skills from Bow line, such as Snipe

for balance you need to limit the range but with a real time combat system it seems like the limited range will look odd in combat. i mean in other games you just cant fire when not in range but in this one you can fire at nothing at all if you want to so will the arrow just vanish mid air when it hits the max distance?

so how far would it be?

Unconfirmed how far it is at the moment. Don't expect it to be longer than magic abilities though.

hope it will atleast you can snipe people.

There is a bow ability called Snipe that increases the range of the Bow substantially but it might only increase it for your next shot, not for all your remaining attacks.

im sure the regular range of mmo's of about 30 meters to 35 meters would be standard. With eso being more realistic i would be thinking if you can see it and aim properly, then maybe 50 meters.

Aim high

40 yards in wow i think, as you said eso being more realistic i would hope this just works like skyrim:)
