Developers' indifference leads to the genocide of Crossbow players.

--The Crossbow as a new implementation in Poe2 is the worst weapon of all.--



Did you ever tested Crossbow skills playing as Merc class with full party? They are awfully designed , lacking firing speed and the worst of all, skills jamn periodically while hovering mouse over objects or Npcs. It literally makes the game unplayable and reduces survivability to a minimum.

Playing Crossbow for almost 1000+ hours in random groups, it leaves you with the feeling that the damage is a pittance to the monsters' lives compared to other weapons, which is especially easy to understand on Bosses where the DPS scaling is most noticeable during the first and last hit.

For God's sake, I'm sick of seeing Cavemans or whatever Spear players are called, clearing the entire screen with a single click of lighting fork effects, while the Xbow needs 2 clips of 7 bolts and still caresses the life out of monsters in High Endgame. It's impossible for you GGG team not to have noticed this huge difference, unless you're not playing your own game.

All your efforts during these 6 months were about figuring out how to nerf the Warrior class without the community noticing and serving this idea as a "coming buff", while you didn't have time to implement an off-hand Crossbow gear which literally wouldn't even help reaching the 1/5 of the Spear's damage.

Even if you gave Crossbow players double passive points, they wouldn't be able to match the speed, damage and effectiveness of a Bow weapon. It's a shame for you to treat Crossbow players like second-class players and above all to spit on their intelligence with annoying and useless patches like 0.3.0.


No i don't want to try 0.3.0 patch, only to realize that more clusters in the Merc passive area tree wouldn't bring balance between weapons.

No i don't want to test 0.3.0 patch to see if the passive points are enough for a proper Merc-Crossbow build.

No i don't want to try out patch 0.3.0 only to realize that I'll once again be the one standing outside boss's room staring at the damage the Cavemans' Flash-hero is doing.

No i don't want to try patch 0.3.0 to find out that the Crossbow weapon will still be treated as a one-handed weapon after buffs to boost the equations of all two-handed weapons.{( +2)...still no off-hand for the Xbow}.


No, I don't want to test any upcoming patches if your behavior offends a specific category of players and thus leads to the Crosssbow players genocide...

I'M JUST... SICK AND TIRED!

ok

I liked my grenade titan build. I havent played it since .1 though.

Played siege cascade and it was great. Just wish they would un-nerf explosive shot because it's stupid that it's only a combo skill.

Passed old days a lot of things was awsome in Crossbow skills but now only chaos prevail and sooner all players will turn to other classes.

Indeed bro everyone notices the diference between spear dps and other weapon damage when playing in a full party. Now buffing also Dead eye would be completely dissaster to others experience.

I had to admit that every time we waiting balance between classes, the oposite result is coming. qqqqPathetic!

It's probably not "spear damage"; just the bifurcate crits mechanism on Tangletongue and amazon ascendancy. You can equip a random yellow spear on any other class, use 99% of spear skills, and enjoy zero damage.

Bro don't be upset. Balance between classes and weapons never will be fixed. If GGG team bothering creating new Leagues and not fix the already posted bugs. Why not Aegis node isn't fixed yet?? But yea there was plenty time for other things...

Crossbow players sooner will vanish from the Poe2. Poe2 is a game for mages.

What ever does it, makes awesome work!!!
Thous all skills should have worked like that. If you use Crossbow skills besides the Deepest tower build, damage is s..t. You need ton of clicks and still monsters are falling slow. Herald strike is the only true help becouse without that, monster killings during breach open leads straight to death.

Unfair balance in his sublime prevail the game.

How true you are but Developers doesn't play your own game to know the difference and unfair rules. It doesn't explain mess in skills balance.

Every human being notices easily the fast Dps that Spears and Bows do. If ask a 4 years old child to show me the fastest, he will choose Spear. It's obviously visible when hitting Boss life. You can't be missed it!!!

It's all about Dev's indifference or aiming to benefiting specific class players. Why??? I don't get it ...
