Suggestion: Machine Crossbow (Please Consider)

[Strider]

I have an idea for an interesting xbow item called the Machine Crossbow.

Machine Crossbow
Cost: 22,157 Gold
missile speed: 40
weight: 4.0
accuracy: 86
difficulty: 15
speed rating(Reload): 10
speed rating(Fire Speed): 95
max ammo: (4)
thrust damage: 35 pierce
slots: 2
Can't reload on horseback
Can't Sheath

This Crossbow is very unique and can fire 4 shots before a reload, like a machine gun. But it has a long reload speed and has far less damage and missile speed then the other crossbows. It's 4 bolt fire rate can fire as fast as a dart can be thrown. It isn't able to fire 4 shots within 4 seconds. There is a short cooldown. (about 2 seconds between each shot).
This will provide a fun, new, and interesting feature to the crpg world.
People may rage that it gets 4 shots per reload, but it still has weak stats.
Some modifications may need to be implemented.

Any Opinions? Thoughts? Comments?

Well, it should be very, very weak then. But I don't know what effect it would have here.
(besides even more rage towards ranged ppl)

The general trend is towards removing all ranged, not adding more. This is suggested very often and while would be a great addition for versatility if balance properly, would just lead to more "nerf ranged" garbage discussions and thus will not likely be implemented.

This Crossbow is very unique and can fire 4 shots before a reload, like a machine gun. But it has a long reload speed and has far less damage amd missile speed then the more expensive crossbows.

Yes, alot like the Chinese Repeater.
I've been thinking about what could make cRPG better. Most people don't realize that the more fun we put into cRPG, the better it gets. My goal is to have the most fun I can. With the Machine Crossbow cRPG's Fun-O-Meter will slighty increase. Making everyone's experience with cRPG more enjoyable. =D
Maybe the Machine Xbow should have less damage, less accuracy, longer reload speed,  shorter shoot speed.
But it still needs to be in here. I promise you it is for the better of cRPG. Please crpg Devs, experiment with this.   Xbows need a bit of spiceying up.

come on, those chinese automatic crossbows where just toys compared to the real stuff. They were just for rich ppl to show, but as weapons they were shit and a kid would make more damage on you using a pencil....

[MrShovelFace]

i would like to point out that this isnt a 'machine crossbow'
its a repeating crossbow

the speed on it isnt much faster than a self bow



the fast cho-ko - bleh or whatever had barely had the power to kill a duck from 40 meters away much less a person wearing any kind of armor.

We don't need automatic shotguns in cRPG...  It's already a joke, that every retard with enough strength can pick up an Arbalest and oneshot almost everyone. X-Bow is the only ranged-class I really like and even if it's realistic that every moron can use X-bows, there should be something like PD/PT for X-Bows imo. Just for the balance.

Fun is good?! OMFG, mindblown!

A XBower with a sense of decency. I salute you, Sir.

But besides xbows needing some specialisation requirement - a machine xbow or repeater would be funny and would tempt even me going xbow for a gen or two.... 

so +1

[Wookimonsta]

actually i support this. a low power xbow with a high rate of fire, and a long reload time. would be very useful in castle defenses.
To balance this, the reload time after 4-5 arrows should be twice that of a normal xbow

[Phalanx300]

It would increase the fun and if properly balanced there is no reason not to add it.

I figure it would work as following: Low Damage for a Crossbow. Quite Inaccurate. Basicly just basing it on the Chinese Crossbow, which is more about the number of Bolts it can shoot then the damage it delivers.

For the same reason I think a gunpowder weapon could be included (High Damage however: Low Accuracy, Longest Reload Time of any weapon). Would bring more fun, and it properly balanced then whats the problem.

People incorrectly define balance as a 1vs1 situation.  Thus, were they shot and killed by an Arquebusier, they would immediately consider this imbalanced, regardless of the Arquebusier's laughable place on the scoreboard.
