chris has commented on the crossbow thing before, in one of the ziggy interviews. I don't remember his exact words but it was along lines like -
their concept of a crossbow is a slow and very hard hitting weapon, no pistol xbows.
there are some inherent usefulness and balancing difficulties with that kind of weapon base.
ggg aren't opposed to the idea but it'd take some work to get right.

Just like the titile.
During 3.0.0 beta i have seen a monster hold the one hand crossbow so that make me think and wander.
if crossbow will added to game in the future maybe POE 4.0 something. how about guns?
is it very hard or might change the weapon system alot?
The guard you're talking about does use a crossbow, which fires a net, in one hand. Personally, I think it wouldn't serve no real gameplay purpose. It would be like a re-skinned wand. Crossbows in general would be slower versions of bows and who would want that.

right now the bow Build i have seen all about fast attacks. havent seen the build like flameblast or kind build that slowly but deadly.
its just a idea come up while i playing but i know there are lots work to do if poe gona add a new type weapon.
base on the current attribute weapon type i could say its very full if ggg could sell crossbow skin it will be great.
do you remember when was the interview? might search youtube for that.

The weapon this game is missing is a strength based ranged weapon. A crossbow doesn't really fit that. How would a crossbow differ from a regular bow in game terms?
Crossbows are usually slow to reload but due the the higher energy stored in them and the difference in projectiles they do more damage.
So a crossbow could be the strength based ranged weapon. Instead off adding damage strength could add attack speed, since with more strength you could reload it faster.
The main advantage to crossbows (which wouldn't even factor into an ARPG like POE) is that it's far easier to train someone to use a crossbow than, say, a longbow, which requires much more training and practice, along with a level of fitness not required by a crossbow (which makes longbows the best candidate for a strength-based, long-range missile weapon). A crossbow is designed to take advantage of mechanical enhancements to strength when drawing it, whereas a longbow is all muscle. =^[.]^=
How about crossbow have the charateritic like min damage = max damage? cuz its triggered with machine but have lower accuracy and lower attack speed? if ggg gona add crossbow to game what do you think they gona to do with bow?

High damage and low RoF could lend itself well to Ailments. Their Bolt Quivers and the Crossbows themselves then could have Implicits adding to this theme. I imagine a Siege Ballista on a Crossbow build would be quite fantastic.
