Naah ill continue until u guys are left with a hunter xbow and light xbow for ranged / top notch melee option.
Crossbow is still to powerfull to be a no brainer weapon for u guys to enjoy boosting your kdr with... anything that adds to anything close to the ranged spamfest of pre-patch must be burned and put to the ground
So your accurally promoting bigger bolt stacks (to balance for lower damage, after all hunting/light crossbow killpotential is quite joke these days, not saying it would not be quite nicely balanced for overall gamingfun or so...) and higher projectile speed (at short range shotguneering projectilespeed wont matter at all, at those ranges no one is going to dodge anyways, but for while now slow flying bolts have been one of main reasons why dedicated crossbowery just isnt usable option.). After all anyone with even halfretarded skills can dodge 80%+ of bolts from medium to long range in normal conditions, its quite normal to see people start dodge as late as last ½ or 1/3 of projectile flight and still have plenty of time to dodge.
While on foot if crossbowuser hits me, its pure rare random luck or me simply not paying attention to surrounding.
And one thing im wondering... Why havent anyone told you that Sniper crossbow was not op before latest (slotadding) patch, infact it was one of worst crossbows
main reason why i guess so many posters here are saying things like "you dont really seem to know what your talking about...", it had too slow reload, too long release delay to be usable and it was still quite rare to oneshot anyone with it, added to needing higher str that heavy crossbow that did mostly kill targets with same ammount of hits, while reloading faster and costing less to upkeep, atleast i as crossbowuser didnt think sniper as powergamer choise.
Well atleast crossbows are not easymode as melee with fast computer is. And i to have some challenge in playing so it wont feel all too easymode. But 1 slot crossbows are fine and good to have.
