Crossbows

[Adder1234]

Now that I'm in the right section, my original idea still stands; to have crossbows, which are easier to aim than bows, but have slightly shorter range and less damage, but maybe higher armour piercing(not sure about this one). I already saw the last post regarding crossbows, and I don't want a weapon that is more powerful than the bow, just one with a different set of advantages and disadvantages. Also, metal and wooden versions would be cool.

What a new, fresh idea.
I agree that evolution of weapon that allow use in combat more convenient and faster, paying a time and hard collectable ressources, but this is looks like too OP for hafen.
Okay, lets look at this game. We have bows. Bows are not aiming, they are bending, no need aim because this is no more target system in shooting. The harder you bend, the more dmg you doing.
Now we have a crossbow, with already loaded bolt, ready to shoot with maximum damage just in direction? Only permakill pistols can be better.
The only way to implement crossbow ih hafen - do the instant dmg ranged weapon, like pistols or so. But this is very bad for game mechanics and fight system.

I like this idea. And crossbows wouldn't have to be instantly shot. Old medieval crossbows would have a winch at their stock to wind up the rope before the bolt could be shot.

I think it could have a lesser max bending based on the quality (so, less damage), but a loading animation that could take a lot of time, so it would be good only when co-op fighting, but would be very bad if used to fight an animal, since it would just charge you, also the loading animation should be interrupted by any attack, and you would be forced to reload again

maybe instead of doing them like a gun,do them like a higher tier bow? longer aiming and bigger penalties but better accuracy and killer damage
