Arrows/Bolts/Consumables

[pantherus]

I dunno about you lot, but I got so sick of having to replenish my arrows/bolts in D2, especially there wasn't any "quick-repair" way of doing it, and you had to manually play around with an excess stack and blah blah blah...

I know D1 was a little unrealistic with unlimited arrows, but darn it was easier

What do you guys reckon, keep D2's "consumable" method, or go back to D1's infinity setup?

[Machina]

I agree with you. I prefer unlimited arrows and bolts. Convenience > realism.

[NKlint]

Either unlimited arrows or if they must be consumable make it a stack of 2500 instead of a piddly 250...

Unlimited would better, prevents drops of arrows and bolts from monsters. Which can be vital if your relying on a bow/Xbow, but pretty useless otherwise

[HeroQuest]

An increase in quiver size, an additional 3 x 3 invent slot for arrows/bolts, and a quick "autofill" button at vendors.

If they implimented unlimited arrows, i think they'd also have to impliment an unlimited amount of durability on weapons, which would suck.

Fair point.

I do think increased quiver size would be the least they could do.
Maybe increase the drop amount also, but decrease the frequency of drops.

I agree that the stack needs to be increased a lot.
Unlimited stack would be easier but would be an advantage against the meleers who need to expensively repair items (also sorceress don't spend a lot).

I hate those useless bolt and arrow drops then.
Maybe they could add an "auto-retrieve" some arrows from corpses lol

I would much prefer the realism of diablo2 even though it was more difficult.

[Nimbostratus]

I never really minded the limited arrow quivers. Though I think a couple improvements could be made:
-An earlier or even selectable "low ammo" warning. This applies to throwing weapons as well.
-Have the "Repair" and "Repair all" buttons work on quivers.

I would perfer that ammo be enchanted.

Have arrows that deal ice dmg or fire dmg or bonus damage or something, and replenish qualities...

If you're going to go the extra mile of 'realism' and have the arrows be limited, at least let them be able to be picked up after shot and having killed an enemy...
