well then lets keep it on the down low then. Don't say "man we are uber!" Say something like "I'm glad we got balanced"


good idea?

unless there are some serious nerfs to other professions we will be by no means uber. i think we'll finally be on an even playing field.


i still dont think we'll be flavor of the month really either. we'll see somemore carbineers trickle in, but the fact that we'll never out dmg a rifleman or commando or out defend a pistoleerwill keep them more popular professions. alot of the smarter, more tactically mindedplayers that realize how useful state changes will probably jumpon board tho.

i've only been a carbineer for a couple of weeks myself, but i can tell you from MONTHS of experience that Nerfy McNerfsalot and his crew can make a forum absolutely REDICULOUS to try to read. i have been a Combat Medic since launch (well there was some time in there to learn the skills, but you get the idea) and it is impossible at the moment to have an intelligent conversation in that forum right now.


the thing that worries me is that many of you have become VERY good fighters with a class that has been broken for a long time. once the class gets fixed, those of you who were very good fighters are going to become exceptional fighters. it only stands to reason that if you are un-gimped you will become even more effective! it is GREAT to me, but Nerfy McNerfsalot and his many followers will not be happy. they WILL be here saying 'dood you are so overpowered! just admit it. no other class can dizzy and knock down groups of people! not even TKMs can AoE dizzy. you need a nerf.' we will counter by saying we cannot Knock Down, it is a posture change that MAY result in a KD. and they will say 'whatever dood, same thing u r overpowered' i can just see it now


what is truly sad about the situation to me is these will be the SAME people who are now in the Combat Medic, TKA and Rifleman forums saying 'u guys are uber and can't be beat, u r overpowered! carbineer and pistoleer are completely b0rked and need to be fixed, but the Devs keep makin you more l33t NERF!'


perhaps i am just tired of seeing it in the Combat Medic forum, and perhaps i am just a bit cranky this morning, but after having picked up carbine then reading the wonderful news about a week later, i am concerned that this forum will become (at least for a while) as bad as the CM forum.


i plan on taking my character on Starsider all the way to Master Combat Medic / Master Carbineer with a focus on poison and disease (i have ALWAYS played my combat medics as medics first, combat second but i like the combat play style of the carbineer) and i would hate to see this wonderful forum turn into the cluster fvck that is the Combat Medic Forum in its current state...

No way.


Rifleman with their +90 speed, MASSIVE defenses, ability to hit mind and AoE special with dizzy will still remain the flavor of the month.

Dam right paybacks are a itch.


Rifleman are getting their speed capped to 3 seconds, spcials damge reduced, and defence reduced all in Publish 8. So I can't wait to call nerfs upon pistoleers once thier fixed for all their complaining about our speed

"Rifleman are getting their speed capped to 3 seconds, spcials damge reduced, and defence reduced all in Publish 8. So I can't wait to call nerfs upon pistoleers once thier fixed for all their complaining about our speed"


Rifleman speed being capped? thats just a rumour....no hard facts...no dev ever stated that they would do it . Carbineer and Rifleman will be working together on the battlefield. An accurate Area dizzy by rifleman takes the main blasts as his high ranged defence will allow him to, while the carbineer pops his chargeshot 2, leaving an entire group crippled when you both finish off, rifleman using strafeshot2 and carbineer..erhm...forgot the name of your aoe attack

As nova said there isn't a chance in hell that carbineers will be the FOTM. This is just a patch that will make us a playable class by people who aren't die-hard carbineers. Now, when they fix our HAM costs we might be a FOTM contender...
