So who thought it was a great idea to make Bolts 0 slot

[ROHYPNOL]

Horrible idea! Now  you got all these players using full plate and a 2 hander carrying arbalest. It's tough to put in words how broken and lame this is.

[StonedSteel]

you've been here long enough to know....they dont put a whole lot of thought into their changes...this mod, is all one batshit crazy experiment, who knows what fucking unbelievably dumb idea they are gonna try next...

Give stones 120 reach and 50 pierce dmg.

[Jarold]

I'm afraid my suggestion from two years ago might've made it in game.

To be honest the easiest fix would be to make steel bolts 0 slots and arbalest, heavy and normal xbow 3 slots. Since there would be no reason to choose bolts over steel bolts if that changed give bolts 3 more ammo, at +3 like in the past.

Yeah that would fix it. I am not usually a fan of nerfing things, I think they should buff a lot more thinks and make multiple things OP. Xbow has been the most OP shit for a long time and im not sure why people do not see it. The ability to fight in combat like normal but shoot a laser almost 100 pierce across the map, just does not make sense. Leave it for all I care but, rebuff mauls and cav and everything else, maybe people would start playing more again.

I dunno if the dmg of normal bolts are worth the reloading time. I tried 2h/arba and found myself running around with 2h way more often than shooting :x
still, they´re probs good for 2h/xbow who focus more on 2h

if normal bolts would need 1 slot, nobody would use em

if 2h/xbow builts are getting too much of a problem, I´d change the dmg gain for +3 items from +3 to +1

and don´t you even think about making steel bolts 2 slot 

[Ujin]

Ah, i guess that explains the FUCKING RANGED FEST going on on the servers lately.... Just when we started to get more players at prime time... good idea you guys ! :/

[MURDERTRON]

The obvious solution is to make all crossbows 6 slots, because all cross bowers are horrible people.

Most of the time I'm finding my +3 arbalest and +3 steel bolts do about 38 p damage when shooting people (not the head) against medium/light armor. against heavy i average around 18-20 damage. (I get 15-25 damage with my +3 wooden stick...)

Arb is OP if the conditions are perfect. Otherwise its garbage.

You can lol all you want, the show damage feature doesn't lie.

Average 70-95 RAW damage and after everything is formulated It comes out to be the amount I posted above.

Desire not getting headshots? I'm calling bullshit.


Most of the time with my +3 arb/+3 steel bolts I'm finding it takes 2-4 shots to kill most players. I even head shot Not_So_Innocent_Virgin on battle the other day and she messaged me on steam saying it only did like 6/10 of her health. So its not insanely OP.

[ROHYPNOL]

Man... Some of you xbow users have some serious bias towards your xbows saying a wooden stick does more than an arb... All I have said was remove the 0 slot bolts, shit is broken as hell. BTW xbow is still the only thing you can pick up in the game without any skill in it and shoot it all the way across the map killing someone. Why can't we pick up throwing weapons and throw them then...
