Carbineer Archive

I applaud your humility and courage.

However, the Dev's DO NOT read these posts. The proof is that anyone [including myself] can say anything we want on here and they don't even delete the thread if the title is "**edit** this and **edit** YOU SOE!" as was the case in my post a couple days back

Blow out the candle bub and accept our fate.

while you have some good points, we will never get fixed by holding our heads high and suffering silently. Like my old geometry teacher used to say..

"its the squeeky door that gets the oil"

so i think we need to hold a protest and make our plight known

I have nothing wrong with protests, or non-rant posts, as a matter of fact I encourage them so we can get our profession fixed. All I want is for itto be done in the most civilized manner possible, as themature adults that the majority that of us are. Though I have noticed that the 12 year old with the tantrum in the corner does seem to get more attention than the civil adult. I still have faith that we will be fixed.

You must be new. Although you are right, most of us having been playing Carbineer sinse day 1, so we have been broken for 4 months, in fact, weve even been nerfed in that time. We did have patience, but it ran out.

Hey guys let me start off by saying I'm a Carbineer too, sodon't flame meto death about not knowing what I'm talking about. I understand the struggle ofthe self incapps due to HAM costs, the lack of an Elite weapon, broken specials, and worthless deffensive mods. However THIS IS NO TIME TO SAG OUR HEADS IN DEFEAT! This is certainly no time to flame SOJ, because he's doing his best to do what he can with what pull he has; which is about nothing by the way. OUR class OUR profession is broke no doubt, but it's still OURS! For those of you who have had the time to Master Carbineer I applaud you. You should feel very proud that you mastered one of the hardest professions in the game. Have any of you looked at the boards lately? It is seriously sad. All I see are "poor us" posts, flames, trolls, and rants. Do any of you think a dev, even if they looked at our boardswould respond to any of the garbage filling our forum? I know it's hard to keep posative at times like these, but try and if you can't please refrain from making the rest of us Carbineers look like whiners. Keep posting new carbine related developments, your experiances, tips to other players, and things that need improvements, but most importiant HOLD YOUR CHIN UP HIGH, because you're a Carbineer and you're going to master the hardest profession in the game. And that one day when we are fixed AND WE WILL BE FIXED, it shall all be worth it. Thank you SOJ for doing all that you've done so far, and hope to see ya again on Test Center!

4 months and counting, went from broken, to being told that something was fixed where we all cheered, than found out it was still broken and we were lied to, than we were NERFED in a way that made the class **edit** near useless unless you had a pet.

I am sorry, but the BLEEP you and BLEEP you to SOE post pretty much sums up how all of us who have been carbiners from day one feel. Honisly, if I had to go through something like this in real life and not a game and was treated the same way we have been treated since release, there would be some people needing a good nose job right about now.

Hi all my first post here. I don't want to hijack the thread, it's related to what you said and my though toward SOE. Here's my lil' story.

Well, i'm now Carbineer 4,2,0,2 and (hopefully) Medic 3,0,0,0 and CH 3,2,1,3. I usually look more at my ham bars than the enemy one. For every 50k creditsi make, i usually buy 7k of stims. That's not a too bad deal for the damage we can make.

What disapoint me the most currently, is when i did get the Legshot 3, i finally though "Oh nice, i'll be able to finally target the action pool correctly." well..seem like same as ls2. Anyway so i didn't mind to much since this action is slow and i usually use it if the action bar of the enemy is near the end. Then i got the "Knockdown" charge-shot. I first tested it on some gurcats, jaba servants and such. I was like, wow so nice. Then i went hunting with friends with usual targets like Bols, pickets or Swamp giant humbabas. Well, what's the point of knocking down a target for 0.3 seconds.. But i don't want to complain. I'm just saying we of course need some fixing. As for the infamous BH better than us in carbine branch, well no comments. I did the math and if i want to get that branch, i have to master Scout and marksman. Then i need to open the novice box of BH and then etc... So i would have no points remaining for my medic skills or my CH skills. So i can understand these guys get good firepower.

Anyway enough rambling. I just hope they gonna make the knockdown usefull against enemies you usually attack when you reached that point and fix all the other specials. Overall, i love that profession.

Forgot also.. Getting master should benefit more and make a real Elite carbine!

That's the sad fact in all this. Those who whine around a lot will get fixed, those who are patient and wait will get overlooked over and over again. Maybe SOE should change their policy on this matter.

Post one whine topic on the SWG Board each day and you might get fixed.
Sad, isn't it.

Thats sad bue true Llane. The CH got their Graul Mauler babies back.

Ok, I'll tell you how I play it.

I'm a low level Carbineer and a low level Creature Handler. I need my tank. If you don't have melee skills, you're toast once the monsters reach you. And armor only provides so much defense against blasters.

I usually like to solo. I tend to do better solo than with a group.

Stimpacks? I make loads of stimpacks.... mostly for my pet, and a few for my Action.

High HAM costs? Big battle? I have two words for ya. Tatooine Sunburn. That little Chef delight doubles your shots if you drink one, and virtually eliminates Action Loss for two.

Our shots come off of Action. We can heal action. Riflemen use Mind. Tough scoobies for them. I can heal my Action pool six or seven times before I run out of unhealable mind.

My weapon of choice is the best Laser Carbine I can find, sliced by my favorite Master Smuggler. But since I destroyed my favorite weapon trying to repair it, I've been using an Elite. (Lessons learned-- Don't repair your own stuff, and buy more than one of a really good weapon.)

I just read a message that says an Elitecan be custom built so it deals Cold damage. That'd be sweet. I think I might have to look into that.

Irxox... novice Bioengineer?

**Note** I've been here since day 1.

I've been wanting to be a carbineer since the launch. Now I am a carbineer, and well into the profession and I have to say this, I've never needed a pet to assist me in regular destroy missions and faction missions. Even with all the skills not working properly, HAM costs, weopons in such. I was formally a BH just because I wanted to be the best with a carbine that I could be. Then I got bored with combat, defeating everything in missions with ease and developed a few skills to kill pikets on Dantooine with ease. So I gave up BH and took up BE. This was about 3 weeks ago and guess what. I'm still as good now as I was with those BH skills. Just sad to read these forums for me about other carbineers using pets to tank for them while they sit back and kill themselves with their own gun. I've learned to deal with the HAM costs. And being a Zabrak carbineer all of this is saying a lot since we have the worst secondary stats in the game. Yes, the Carbineer needs fixing. We all need to whine daily until we get fixed. And when that Fix comes, everyone will cry Nerf on us and all of us can say "Fignuts!" to them because we've been worse off than the commando's back in the day.
