[Deleted User]Soul ShrivenHello everyone,
Recently we've had to remove a few posts for flaming and baiting, both being against the Forum Rules. While it is perfectly fine to disagree with another idea, we ask that you do so in a civil and constructive manner.
Thank you for understanding!0 -
HalvarIronfist✭✭✭✭I want to explain here why TESO PVP need firearms. For example, today me and 3 my friends(so 4 players EP PVP group) was in Imperial City grinding bosses playing PVP etc. We confronted another group - 3 players DC group and we killed them. After first fight we killed them about 3-4 times or more today's evening. Later this evening we confronted 5 players AD group, and this time they killed us. We met them around 8 times and everytime they killed us with absolutely no chances for our group.
Now, imagine similar situations like I described above in any more or less realistic game with firearms(CS:GO, Armed Assault, DayZ etc). In any game(more or less realistic) with firearms small scale group has chances to win vs bigger or stronger group. Because firearms is deadly and one man with rifle is able to kill 3-4 guys with rifles. So if we would have guns today's evening in Imperial City, may be we could win at least 2-3 of 9 fights vs that AD group.
I... what? Firearms..... ESO...?

Yeah, nothing wrong with crossbows as actual weapons. Granted, they've only been in two or three Elder Scrolls games total, but they're still a cool option.Squeaky_Clean wrote: »How about no.

stamdammered✭✭At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.1

thats a 3.5 K stam skill .... not a weapon that can be used to LA/HA/bow-skill which is what a crossbow as an alternative bow skin would beEdited by Chronocidal on March 19, 2019 10:03AM0 -

Unfortunately, you did just hit on the problem with a crossbow type weapon. Heavy attacks vs light attacks. The difference between a bow and a crossbow is that you draw the bow then fire it, while with a crossbow, you fire it and then reload. The entire idea of the weapon in the single player games was that you'd use it to deal larger spikes of damage with more downtime. The light attack/heavy attack dynamic doesn't really work with that model.
That said, it leaves the door open for the crossbow to be something really unique, where you have heavy spikes followed by a long cooldown. Though, my concern in that situation would be that the crossbow would be players performing coordinated alpha strikes with them.0 -
