Increase amo of arrows and bolts

I am totally fine with the new slot system. so now i am taking my mw sniper and a 1h to battle. fine with me. but this leaves me with only one stack of bolts and as a dedicated xbower this is usually way to less.
I had the feeling that the usual stack of 15 steel bolts should be increased but now I saw that it even got reduced.

12 steel bolts per round? c'mon. 17 or 20 should be fine, 12 is nothing for a dedicated xbower.

and if I used a lighter xbow, using only one slot, you might think balance wise the person should be able to bring a polearm or 2h. this again leaves him with only one stack of bolts and those are used even faster as the reload speed is way faster.

So overall this was a double nerf for xbow hybrids, slot and stack wise

Sorry mate, but the devs clearly want sniper xbow users to take 0 slot weapons if they take 2 stack of bolts. If you need a better onehander, you should use the normal xbow.
Don't mind the fish.

I dont want to take 2 stacks, I want to increase the ammo of one ;-)

there is a difference between 30 (2 stacks prepatch) and 17 or 20

0 slot weapons? peasant would laugh at me. most of them cant even block (weapons not peasants)

Pick your shots. Only when certain scenarios do occur, I release shots not meant for the head (I.E. not a guaranteed one-hit kill), and I usually do fine when it comes to number of bolts. Of course, I wouldn't mind it if it happened. Also, the regular crossbow is a very good weapon, maybe it'll fit you better, getting two slots of bolts as well as a decent melee weapon.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

Pick your shots better. Arrow/Bolt amount is fine.

Or just say f__k it and be like me. I've sworn off melee weapons all together with this patch, two stacks of steel bolts and a whole lot of athletics.  :lol:

Learn to aim??  :lol:
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

i have well-made-steel bolts...amount of ammo: 13 bolts, for a skirmish it might be anough but when u play siege or on a big battle server its defenetly NOT.

even on highly trained crossbow men as i am its hard to be efficient. they should again be stock up to 15 steel bolts minimum. maybe devs should try be a crossbow man on a battleserver to know how it is to have only 12 bolts, a nerfed sniper crossbow that does not one hit every target, to have only (in the best case) a onehanded 1 slot wep that can be used for blocking with low wpf (because u need to put all your wpf in xbow to hit targets above 30metre) , to run in cheap armor and then to have to pay almost 1000 gold for your arbalest.
