Early Access Feedback - Crossbows needs "Bolt Quiver" too, it just make sense. - Forum

Crossbow has a long delay as you load 5 or however many bolts, then you can very quickly unleash several heavy hitting shots. Bows are maybe slightly faster in terms of shots per second but do less damage per hit and have a hitch and animation of drawing from the quiver. Current speed of the endgame and funneling of everyone to fast one shot builds doesn't lend itself to this I guess. i dont think we have been playing the same game dude, you clearly dont. :D	Posted by cipski007#7048 on Mar 13, 2026, 2:37:13 PM Quote this Post

May have made some wrong assumptions or misunderstood based on reading other's comments. If it currently works as I described, that's great...

+1. A bolt sack or something similar named should be added in later patches. We had enough with so many Crossbow punishments. Time to bring a new gear item to balance power between Bow and Xbow. Comet skill do insane damage that Xbow will never reach..	Posted by Pitouro#7857 on Mar 17, 2026, 6:50:05 PM Quote this Post
Bump. A lot of people asked for it. I hope see some difference in later patches.	Posted by teobibu#1278 on Mar 18, 2026, 11:21:56 AM Quote this Post
+1 as i play 99lvl mercenary more balance between bow and crossbow bow is just a slightly reduced with same stats as crossbow but has quiver with +skills and damage etc, so in total it looks like bow has more raw dps by items not telling about total dps scaling ability Last edited by ungamer321#7175 on Mar 18, 2026, 11:47:48 AM	Posted by ungamer321#7175 on Mar 18, 2026, 11:46:15 AM Quote this Post
Xbow sucks. If you see the marvelous ground effects of mage skills then quickly you realise how bad Crossbow skill are. Piu piu piu piu piu... firing like 10 level weapon. Animation of grenades are bad too. I don't know if a of-hand gear will help but it least it gonna give some power boost. Bows firing like there's no tomorrow!

+1. From the start of game posted as different gear item. I play warrior with mace weapon and i would like to compine it with grenades.	Posted by Falginton#0485 on Mar 20, 2026, 4:11:41 AM Quote this Post
Please don't touch the crossbows. They work fine.	Posted by apostalru2#0608 on Mar 20, 2026, 4:18:44 AM Quote this Post
just compared stats on crossbow and bow+quiver - mostly they are ~similar in total , but quiver has additional crit and damage, that crossbow doesnt have where is the balance? and just simply compare meta build with bow and builds with crossbow. for example mercenary, which is main crossbow user game design? no, just 1 char 1 button gambling game.
