Make us Crossbows!

[Nocifer Deathblade]

<DIV>Devs,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since you now allow us to use bows.....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Why can't you introduce new ranged weapon to EQ2 called Crossbows? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My suggestion is: </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Make crossbows warriors+crusaders only.. Make it LONG delay but high damage which would be good for crusaders due to their long casting nature of spell department.. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I'm surprised that EQ2 is 500 years later from EQlive and gnomes never bothered to INVENT crossbows ever since.. We already have many plate adventurers out there and crossbows would surely be invented by gnomes to be able to hurt plate adventurers more.. I guess gnomes are DUMB not to notice that by now..  RL people are smarter than gnomes as it seems as they introduced crossbows to defeat knights in the battle more effective.. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Knights during crusader times, etc, using crossbows are designed to defeat other crossbows, pikemen and other knights when they got ambushed or whatever for example.. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I hardly envision knights with bows but can envision them with crossbows.. Let's introduce the crossbow as brand-new ranged weapon into EQ2 and helps to diversify EQ2 more.. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

<DIV>make it orange, with a telescopic zoom whenever I hit right click...  the bolts should be radioactive material and fly through the air as a burning screak of orange, pinning my target to the wall, twitching at odd angles...   </DIV><p>Message Edited by JoarAddam on <span class=date_text>11-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:52 AM</span>

<DIV>I just shrugged when I heard the change to allows SK's the use of bows.  We have enough ranged spells that I can chain pull w/o a bow.  In my imagination, I just don't see an SK using a bow, much like how unbefitting it is to ride a carpet.  Now a crossbow on the other hand seems appropriate to me.  That's something I would definitely use - especially in raids/joust fights or chasing down PK's.</DIV>

Personally I'd rather have that throwing knife on a chain like scorpion from mortal combat had. Now that's how an sk pulls !<div></div>
