No new Weapons for us Carbineers, he stated plainly in answering our question.







Lastly, there are no new weapons planned at this time, but the functionality of weapons will change in the Combat Balance.







This is BS. We've waited 9 months, we got some specials corrected to be working -- and they continue to cater to Rifleman and Pistoleers.


Yup...patience has worn thin...lots of other fun professions out there who get attention and recognition. We've been one of the best communities, one of the most calm, rational, and carefree...we don't make demanding posts on other forums, we don't assault other forums -- and yet we get ignored.


TH once said it takes "Months of planning and development to even add a new weapon," if nothing is even planned now and nothing is planned before Combat Balance, we may never get a new weapon.

No new weapons but he states: "but the functionality of weapons will change in the Combat Balance."


That couldbe better (or worse) then a new weapon.


I'd much rather see special HAM costs go down then see a new weapon.

I agree, getting some of our existing weapons changed would be just as good as getting a new weapon.

They've stated before that they can't change the Damage types of Current Weapons, nor change the AP options of current weapons.


That leaves speed and damage, which can only be altered slightly due to coding situations. They have also stated plainly it is much easier to add weapons than to modify them.

They won't *admit* that. If you're talking about the Spraystick and Tusken Rifle -- they now keep saying it "can't" be done.

Did you forget about Nym's Carbine?


It might suck, but it is a new Carbine.



And leave them alone to getthings fixed for goodness sake. If you need more weapons go play with pistols.....they seem to have more than can fit in a toolbar LOL

You ACTUALLY think the devs "cater" to pistoleers?


Come on man, you know better than that.


Last I checked, Carbineers don't have only 2 working/non-redundant specials like Pistoleers have, not to mention the fact that with all the ranged professions hitting the speed cap pistoleer deals the lowest DPS of the three base ranged professions.


Thats not to say that Carbineer couldn't use some fixin', but don't knock on the already abused pistoleers




-BTW yes I know about Dual Wielding and if Pistoleers are lucky they'll get it sometime before the end of the year.

Yes, I got slightly defensive and I apologize.



But we're a good board, and a good profession. We don't go to other professions boards and trash them or demand other ones get nerfed so that we're "good."


All we've ever asked for is to be brought up to a similar level to be good, and useful in all aspects of the game, PvE, and PvP. When the Combat Balance was first announced, it was said a great many weapons were being added...and all classes would be tended to.


Now I'd love to see the Laser Carbine get AP3...the the EE3 actually do radius attacks, or the Elite Carbine to be as elite as the Republic Blaster or T21...but they can modify our weapons all they want -- it still isn't the same as say...


Holding your brand new T20 assault carbine. Holding your brandnew Scythe, your brand new Disruptor Rifle, your brand new Berserker Rifle, your brand new Lithanium Rifle, your brand new DE-10 Pistol...a modified Laser carbine is "nice..."


But a brand new, never seen weapon is truly "Fun."

The whole face of the game is changing.....lets see what they come up with.....and issues like this have already been officially brought to their attention....but I always like beating that dead horse.....


And finally after everything the Devs have done for us and not others, give them a break. I don't like SOE any better than you for the state of the game, but give them a break.

/dodges...


...but since Carbineers have no dodge it hits me.


Damnit.




I overreacted and I'm sorry...Devs have done a lot for us...just we do seem to be the unheralded step-child.
