Part of the issue with ranged "sneak attacks" is that ranges are not currently accurate for missile weapons at present in EA. At least they are not equal to the ranges listed in the PHB as they all cap at 18 meters (59 feet) in the game. Where weapons like shortbows and light xbows should be 80/320 (80 feet being normal range, and 320 feet being max (disadvantage) range unless you have the sharpshooter feat. And heavy xbow should be 100/400, and longbows 150/600 feet respectfully. This all affects those of us that want to play rogue snipers in the game (sneak attack with ranged). So anything outside of 18meters (59 feet) is essentially put at a disadvantage in the game thus not allowing us to "sneak attack" them at present. I hope they fix this in the future, and I have not checked to see if the "sharpshooter" feat is implemented in the game, which would would change things dramatically if implemented properly.
On a side note they also have not implemented all ranged weapons yet as of last patch, so this is an area they may well be still working on for final release.
