Another suggestion about ranged

Necro post-- What were the original proposed stats?

I have been thinking about this for a while, and it's a bit more complicated than I thought, mostly concerning the correct slot values for the original weapons.

0 slot Bolts: max ammo 6 (MW 7)
0 slot Steel Bolts: max ammo 4 (MW 5)

0 slot bodkins: max ammo 8 (MW 11)

Thanks, I have something that I have been working on to propose that's inspired by this thread, but the item stats are not quite finalized. I don't want it to be a nerf, but make hybridization make more sense with ammo and slots. Not going too well so far, tbh.

The way people go on about ranged you would think its like this

Men det var det ikke. Godnat... Og sov godt!

All of the stronger bows and crossbows at present already demand a sizable slot commitment (3-4).

Arbalest users will have maximum of 10 steel bolts

Even if you landed every shot (excluding headshot) you would end up spending 20-50% of your ammo on a single horse, or 20-30% of your ammo on a single player.

Reminder: Currently the steel bolt weight is twice as much per bolt than bodkins and has half the ammo capacity.

Hope those new quivers are cheaper, and weigh less for the ammo reduction. It totally won't lead to:

yeah reinforce and encourage them to kite even more while looking for ammo, nice idea.
