Who wants really CROSSBOW weapon system in game Maybe with New class !!!

[Astralporing.1957]

Considering how the game disincentivizes ranged combat, i'd say that adding any more ranged weapons probably wouldn't be a good idea. _Landspears_ however...

Good point, I hadn't thought about stowing it. But yes, if it didn't fold up when stowed, it would clip through your lower back/butt.

"Not that bad" is better than I remember it being (for Warrior or Engineer; I don't have a Deadeye). Good to know!

Rifles and crossbows fill the same niche. Perhaps crossbow skins for rifles?

Be cool but given the devs are struggling to bring out patches every few months as well as lw story episodes how many times a year, and how long is the content to go thru? Lol I doubt a new class nor weapon type will be in this games foreseeable future.

well if GW2 adds melee crossbows it would certainly be unique, maybe even the first!
