Jumping Crossbow

[Hirlok]

You CAN jump & shoot with a crossbow, just tested (in real), lol - but of course accuracy has to be very low.
Viable for shooting someone at 2-5 meters who hides behind some barrels where you can not get and slay him.
Not viable for permanantly hopping around on walls and shooting people 100 meters away...
So: accuracy penalty - yes, removal - no.

And for us archers: yep, we should be able to do that as well, but with an even higher acc penalty.

I agree it much more realistic that you can't do anything while you jump
See all these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMWwSM_q9JI
They're not real! It's some animated stuff! Everyone know that when you jump IRL you can't do shit untill you land. That's why no gravity would suck!

More serious though. I find all this ridiculous (guess rest of my post told you that). There's no OP in jumping xbow or jumpslashing. It's a part of the game, and a nice one

removing jump slashes would be lovely

Jumping is fun. I.e. Jumping off a roof and hit some guy inna head.

[Gristle]

I think jumping should be completely removed and replaced with falling to the ground and ineffectively flailing about, unable to right yourself, much like a turtle. That is, of course, until someone somehow has too much fun flailing ineffectively, which will then also need to be nerfed.

Sniper xbow is overpowered?  Frankly I am considering starting a petition to rename it, since 'Sniper' suggests a 1hit1kill motif, something the weapon lacks, unless the target is wearing naught but chest hair - and you hit him in the chest.  Of course, salt is rubbed into the wound when it breaks three times in a row and you have to shell out two and a half thousand gold to pay for it.

You can jump and shoot with the crossbow in real life. If you jump up, the bolt does not fall out. It may while you're falling down due to gravity, but certainly not when you're jumping up.

This thread is another fail on using "realism" to reduce fun and playability of the game. Please go and bash silly anime-Flamberge and Throwing Ballistas instead.

Oh Mr. Feng split the Jumping Crossbow in parts: up and down.
Another smart-ass XD
Nethertheless, a few x-bows nowdays have devices to hold the bolt in position ( have a look to the front clamp http://www.megagadgets.de/images/cross_bow.jpg )but not all ( http://huntingexperienceforyou.com/wp-content/uploads/image/crossbow.jpg, http://www.crossbowpackages.com/images/PSE%20Copperhead%20Crossbow.jpg )
and particulary the old wodden onesdont have it ( http://www.todsstuff.co.uk/pics/15th%20C%20cross%20bow%202.jpg ).
Maybe we should add this one http://www.1800hart.com/blog/wp-content/Crossbows_Belgian_Crossbow_Pistol__DX1233_1110.jpg less damage but you can jump and shoot ( even if you fall down )

Thank you to keep this topic serious ;D

Nerf this! Nerf that! Nerf EVERYTHING! soon we won't have weapons and armor you'll be fighting with your dicks. its getting to the point where it makes playing this game impossible to play without somebody crying about it. Yes throwing is OP, buy a shield. HA is a pain, go inside. Xbow jump kills? ready? Come on i hate Crush and knockdown weapons like Bar mace but its not such a big deal that i need to post so chadz can save the day. Sorry for my rant just tired of hearing People Raging because they aren't on the top of the scoreboard. if it bothers you so much buy a xbow and do it to the people who do it to you.   Hit me with your best shot trolls i want a good laugh.

+1. I hate how everyone always wants to nerf EVERYTHING. Threads like this should all be renamed into "Yet another whine thread for whiners"
