Nerf crossbows.

xbows can only kite away but if you stay on them they won't be able to reload.

CHINASERF1 and CHINASERF2 say otherwise.

Everything is different when there are two people working closely together this is a fact for all classes. Everything becomes more possible. As a lone melee player has the choice to chase one of them not both. they can split up allowing one to reload that is kiting but that is also teamwork or simply just delay one in melee long enough to let the other person to reload. Simple teamwork goes a long way. A lone higher tier xbower can not kite reliably.

fuck ur "facts" just give me name change and we're cool

Damn, this thread is from June, but it's still so current. Nowadays NA 1 is a xbow fest

[Tristan_of_Erzoth]

Here's my suggestion(after 22 gens as an xbower): Make Steel Bolts 1 slot again, nerf damage of regular bolts, and make the crossbow 2 slot. Increase the weight of arb/heavy xbow but give them a slight damage buff and also make them slightly more inaccurate to encourage more WPF dump into them.

[Ikarus]

xbow isn´t that op anymore, it´s just the problem that too many people play it atm

or do you seriously get most your kills with xbows? It´s rather a weapon to annoy cav, other ranged and inf

if you´re fed up with xbow, try a shield/throw build with a lot of agi. Nothing more annoying than some random dude who won´t let you reload, but you also can´t fetch him in melee since he´s too fast. And since xbows and bolts got heavier, they even got slower.

Enjoy the xbow hunt

I have to say I pretty much disagree with everything you just said except make them more inaccurate and encourage more WPF investment.

If you spit out enough ideas ones bound to be good

Ranged definitely needs a nerf, the mods pretty much dead and most of the players i know have quit in large part because of all the agi crossbows/archers who can run like cheetahs/ nudge away anyone who gets close.

I dont know how, but something needs to change or cRPG is doomed.

[Ikarus]

...agi crossbows...who can run like cheetahs...

only if they´re carrying a normal crossbow or lighter crossbows and then they wouldn´t be a threat  crossbows aren´t fast runners (anymore), unless they drop their xbow

[Grumbs]

As always, xbowers are way too versatile for very little skill point investment. Beating a dead horse, but they can be good in melee, do decent ranged damage and kite.

Throwers are probably the main problem with cRPG atm, but its like singling out bad eggs in a pile of bad eggs. Whole mod is pretty shitty atm, can't even do melee without the server pooping its pants and its a ranged fest due to bad balancing

Idk what they are carrying but one shot from them is good for half my hp. it wouldnt be very hard to get a heavy xbow with light armor and high agi to run fast...

And i think this is one BIG bad egg too, im sure alot of players would return if it wasnt such a ranged fest.
