Captain Muller would like to stat that Captain Mullet isn't seeing enough Cross bows. Captain Mullet believes that the admins should tweak Dungeon Runners so that Crossbows drop more often! In Fact, Captain Mullet thinks every item dropped should be a cross bow! Captain Mullet will greatly enjoy the game more once there is a reasonable drop of cross bows!

Mulletttt PUNCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Show me your moves!

Well Mullet, follow me around some. All I seem to get is bloody crossbows...

I agree with XievDragon. As a ranger sort myself, I see more XBows then I could ever use. Just keep a watch for them. Once they start dropping, you will never get them to quit.

more crossbows?! i hope ur kidding.. the only thing i seems to loot is crossbows or shotguns.. and half my purples drop are rangers weps too..

3 people in a row that don't get sarcasm

*sniff*....*sniff,sniff*...yep I smell the biting tang of sarcasm in the air. maybe he meant shotguns??? can we get more shotguns?

And there's TOO MUCH mage gear dropping! How is a mage supposed to properly gear with ALL that gear dropping...

My fighter finds so many swords and clubs it's disgusting. If this keeps up... it's ruining the gameplay for me.

Devs, please just make 10 out of every 10 drops a crossbow.
What? It's already like that?

OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!!!

This argument fascinates me. Are there too many crossbows? Really?

It seem that many players think so.

I believe I'll have the designers do another test run of the item generators. We can post the results here. When we've done this in the past, we see the crossbows showing up just as often as we expect. I believe they account for 30% of all weapon drops.

Perhaps it's just that most people don't use crossbows that makes them seem so annoyingly frequent...

I think part of the problem is that x-bows/shottys count for 30% of weapons drops but there is alot more variety of melee weapons. So it "feels" like we see way to many of them. As an example doing an 8 hour run in HDoL I can tell you I get at least 2-3 x-bows on average per inventory full of gold/purple items. With some pulls being 5-6. I have not counted every weapon to see if this is 30% but it definitely does not feel like it.

Personally i have been farming widowmaker for two days now, and i think she swallowed quite a lot of rangers.

Everytime i kill her, she drops 3-5 yellow and purple items. I think that there is a 40/60% Weapon/Armor ratio for her. So, if she drops 4 items, 1.6 of them should be a weapon. And of those 0.48 should a a crossbow. (Yay, i remember math classes)

However, i think that on 85% of the runs or so, i brought a crossbow home. And on about 20% of those, i actually got 2 of them. Thats a bit high for 30% drop rates methinks.

What also might matter, is that crossbows look very much alike when in the inventory (i believe there are 3 different ones). When i get a 1 hander it might be an axe, a sword, a pick, a club or whatever other things there are. Sure, it are all 1 handers but they look so distinct that you don't realize you have another 1 hander. With crossbows its automatically: Oh, another one of those (They are just more noticeable)
