Crossbow cheat?

[Konan]

Recently noticed that there are players firing crossbows like they are fully auto. I use hunter and crossbows and have had the reload rune and still cant fire as fast as these players are.

I feel like some players hit much more and faster than I do with the crossbow too.

If I try to spam the crossbow like that, shots go all over the place, not where I want them to.

I believe these may be console players with aim assist, just like some mages with the grohk weapon.

Like i know if you get the legendary fire bow it shots really fast but sometimes its like a machine gun

Well, the crossbow is technically full auto but that doesn't help land shots. It still requires skill.
I've not seen it any problems in game. Crossbow with a good strafe can take down just about anyone. Don't stand and trade with them.

I ditched long bow because crossbow with the damage perk is so devastating right now. I welcome axe warriors to push me. I withdraw when they blow their leap and they are screwed.

The crossbow is on par with the shredder. Wierdly the crossbow has no distance drop as opposed to the shredder.
Crossbow is the new shredder weak players choice.

Surely not. Legendary heirloom rifle is the most stupid weapon in this game right now.

Crossbow or arbalest??

[Konan]

Some of the hunter abilities include an applied damage debuff when you get shot. Like a fire debuff. Its a hunter loadout ability.

I get that but it wasn't fire effect it was literally the arrows flying through the air at a rate equivalent to the smg or machine gun. I haven't seen this since but it was strange it could have just been a bug I'm not sure.

Not saying that it couldn't have been cheating as there are such cheats possible on the UE3 engine, but I've seen this in other games where someone's connection lags, then you get a rapid fire or a massive simultaneous fire when the server finally registers what they were doing during the lag spike.

Yes The damage ticks sound just as fast as the SMG or burst rifle shots. I play a hunter and I always have a legendary crossbow. If you are hitting your target consistantly it will definitely sound as though they are shooting faster than they should be but thats really just a flaw in the audio.

If lag was the issue he'd hear interruptions in the hit sounds and the amount of arrow hits.

Its far more likely that he is just misinterpreting what he is hearing.

So unless he spectates them and has actually seen them doing it there isn't anything the devs can do about it.

Oh, simple then. It's the fire crossbow and you're hearing the burn damage.

So you attack my comment there because I 'attacked' you here.

Again weak behaviour.

You can't in one sentence call a weapon OP and then brag that it's you're go to without hypocrisy.
