I wanna go to this guys house and light him on fire for even mentioning the idea of guns in Diablo 3. Not Jamoose, I kinda liked his idea, but the person he got his idea from.
@Genesis: Yea there wont be any guns it has been confirmed. But i dont know if you were replying to other people's post on this thread or to mine, but i meant that the ranged class will be using a bow or a crossbow, shooting 5 cold arrows at once or something.
@Pjanoo: Well, what i think Bashiok meant with the thing about the amo is the simple fact that im trying to explain here, that you will be able to shoot more arrows at once. No ammo technically, but yeah... Maybe there wont be arrow quivers and all, but still.
@Jittabug: exactly. You could combine different types of arrows into one shot or something.... the options are almost endless. And as i said, the charge thing shouldnt take time so it wont slow down the game play.
The dev team needs to give each type of arrows a unique attribute that will require it being used in some certain occasians. Like i kinda mentioned before....
Imagine if:
Fire - Knock back.
Cold - Freeze / slow.
Lightning - Stun / passes to other targets.
Poison - fast moving arrow, long ranged, high damage but over time.
So it kinda gives you different reasons to use different arrows... And If we will have the system that im talking about in the first thread, then they can add also this:
1 Arrow - Highest range, fastest speed, highest damage at longest range.
2 Arrows - Less range, less speed, etc...
etc...
etc...
5 Arrows - Short Range, high damage, If elemental then amplified effect (Like fire's knockback x5)... etc...
I hope you can understand what im saying
so if there isnt going to be ammo, would it be like all of these attacks are skills and then one skill is like multi-element where is shoots different elements in the same shot. then with the runes and the multi-element skill you could make it shoot more arrows dealing massive amounts of different elemental damage, or something like that. again, this is a really cool idea, i think they should use this,
though it may be overpowered in some ways, they did say they want you to feel like your the most powerful person ever (dont ask me where i got this info, it was in an interview i read)
(oh yeah, i just noticed this is my 50th post.... yay lol)

Oh, yeah I know, it's just that I was posting my thread to emphasize a point that escapes me now! Probably that it is possible, how ever improbable
