My X-Bow needs a change

[Grumpy_Nic]

Crossbowin ain`t that hard too, prolly easier than fighting in melee.
(Just wanted to point out that that part of his argument is bs )
But yea, going with realism doesnt help the game at all.

I guess you just want to rage a bit. If not please read "Reply#3" where I talk about this.

Thanks & Best Regards

Crossbow was popular at medieval times bacause it is easy to use and has no requirements.Only some power (as it on game).But it had very long reload time...
If you drow a bow strongher,it hit harder.But I dont think your shot will strongher if you drow xbow stronger 

I only agree with wpf requirements.I dont think every peasants used arbalest , or anyone with great sword in his back.

Either option makes perfect sense as a gameplay balancing mechanic. Realism? Nothing in this game is realistic. Take those to the Realism Discussion.

I am pretty sure that everyone had the ability to pick up throwing axes, bows, and arrows. Hell they could even try and use them, it just wouldn't work very well.

Damn, if my life would depend on it I would even start throwing beer bottles and old ladies at my enemies.

To be honest I saw the title and noticed Nic made it and just though "mm another QQer complaining about how unloved Ranged is" But actually you seem to be one of an amazingly small amount of ranged players who seem to get that ranged weapons should require an actual build rather then just having a crossbow as a shotgun 

so +1

This thread has exceeded its amount of logic, constructed discussions and arguments. Time to bring it back to c-rpg trends.

NERF XBOWS !

[Templar_Steevee]

As someone write earlier to use x-bows you need only strength, because it was really easy to use.

IMO to "repair" a bit x-bow devs should increase STR req for using them.

Arbelest 18 str, same req as 6 pd bows
heavy crossbow 15 str, like horn bow
crossbow 12 str, like Tatar bow
ligth crossbow 9 str
hunting crossbow 6 str as it is

As it will be implemented there should be free respecs for x-bow guys, because they will have to rebulit their characters.

good idea

If ye really wanna "repair" the xbow (my most beloved weapon)

i'd suggest to add special armor with reloading belts (winch or hook to assist the xbowman reloading)

some new types of it
and as the Threadstarter said a skill to reload faster.

also i'd love to see kneeling being possible with xbows
to get higher accuracy.

I personally use a shortsword (broad short sword), a crossbow, steelbolts and a board shield,
and am pretty annoyed, that the board shield doesnt really work out as a "pavese" like backshield.

My shortsword takes even up a weapon slot! >.<  its so small, why gods, why?!

CRpg is my favourite mod, it has so many motivating aspects.
All we need now is some more tactics,
i hate melee spammers running everywhere,
breaks the game for me.
