And squad leaders get one of the better carbines in their template 0/0/4/0 SL.

It looks alot more like they are turning BH and SL into supplementary professions. You'll also notice the lack of speed and accuracy skills in their trees relating to carbines or pistols. I'm honestly surprised that SL didn't get a rifle cert. as well.

Um... they got the Beam Rifle...

Hello all,

Maybe I'm missing the point to all this talk about who gets what, and what gun is better, etc. but really is not the CU the chance to balance the professions that have gotten out of hand for a time on the old system? Balance is (hopefully) going to be attained in the CU not only with the amount of weapon certs, not only with the ability to wear certain armors, not only in the amount of skill points to get somewhere in your profession, not only in the fact that special attacks will actually work, but in ALL of those things.

The possibility that a carbine like the Proton going to Bounty Hunters does not NEARLY make me angry or upset if it means that my profession is balanced. That it no longer has to be the carbineers motto of "I bet I can kill me before you can" with outrageous HAM costs. I would rather have a profession that has working, effective specials, decent HAM cost for the weapons, than some weapon that looks "cool." Cool looking weapons, or ones that are overpowered will not take you far in the game when it doesn't do jack (like Nym's) or gets the Nerf for being unbalanced.

Wait for the CU, play Test Center for a bit, and think about the WHOLE picture of the game. I don't want to see Carbineers become the most often seen profession in the galaxy, I want to see them all do well. Everyone, bounty hunters and carbineers, relax, take a deep breath and focus at giving good feedback. That will do more than whining and bragging.

No they probably want new Carbines because we have been the most ignored profession in the game when it comes to new Weapons for the past two years. Everyone else were given new Weapons as time went on but Carbineers seem mostly forgotten. Even TKA the "Unarmed" profession almost got a new Knuckler before we got anything.Now here comes the CU an Carbineers see all these new Carbines only to find out the majority of them wont even be given to us. LOL

What are you even talking about, BH only get two carbs zerka dart an proton , an aren't you an jedi...

---

I know how many they get. I was just saying that when it comes to new weapons Carbineers got the shaft. Almost twice as many Rifles an Pistols in the game as Carbines. So its understandable that when all these new Carbines finallycome out an most of them go to other professions the Carbineers will get mad. Because now to beas effective as a Rifleman/Pistoleer wewill have to dabble just to have any kind of choiceat all in weapon/damage types.An yes one my alts is a Jedi but what does that have to do with anything?

please put up this post where tanks said its official?

You missed the point entirely.....Tanks has no more info than I do or any other player that can login to TC-EP3.

Only a RED NAME makes it official.....and I did check your link to the Tanks Tracker there and his name is still BLUE, which means he is not a Dev, which by the way the Devs haven't even decided 100% where the Proton Carbine is going.
