Carbineer Archive

Wheres SOJ? I dont think Ive seen many posts by him latley, not a personal attack, just curious.

You know why we havent been fixed at all?

Because we dont post over and over on the SWG Discussions board(seeminlgy the only board Holocron reads) and we dont complain. They fix what enough people complain about, a good example is AT-STs. If you had have the server in uproar about Legshot3 not working, I bet it would be fixed.

Now why arent we vocal enough? Because we are probably one of the least played professions, beating out maybe Squad Leaders and Bio-Engineers(although they have been on the uptake latley).

We need SOJ to go post some posts on the discussions board detailing how screwed up we are and demanding some sort of answer from the devs.

Otherwise, I think they will just continue to fix things that people complain about, and forget about the rarley played broken professions(Squad Leaders, Fencers, Carbineers, etc).

Seems Q3po took a vacation and had a post there about what issues need to be fixed. I posted under there about our concerns since we are the only class is is being left out of all the patches.

Even so. They can say " we'll look into it" all they want, that doesnt mean anything will get fixed. All they did with the correspondant thing was get a dev to go to each professions board, post little to no answers, and never be heard from again.

Yet they fixed(or should I say re-broke) commandos. Why? Tons of people were complaining.

Pistoleers just made a huge post on the discussions board and Holocron replied to it, saying he was showing it to the pistoleer devoloper.

Why is it that only select few professions get attention? Commandos, Pistoleers, Bounty Hunters, etc.

Because thats 90% of all the servers.

And we are not the only class being left out - a ton are, just because the majority of players want to be Bounty Hunters or Commandos, and not Bio-Engineers or Squad Leaders(for example).

What I'm saying is, we have to raise hell in order to get anything fixed.

We arent doing that currently. Posting and re-posting the same problems over and over on our profession board does little to nothing. We all know half our skills do not work, or do not work as intended. So what? That solves nothing. I honestly do not believe any devoloper reads this board, they seem to stick to the disccusion board, and rarley a different one.

We need to have a unified demand to get our profession *fixed*.

I'm not asking for new features, additions, nerfing of other classes. I just want every single skill we have to work - and be usefull. Currently we have about 3 attacks out of our entire profession that are even worth using. (action shot 2, crippling shot, burst shot). Legshot2 and Action Shot 1 arent even carbineer skills! And we rely heavily on them(or legshot3 which is just legshot2).

Well, I understand what you are saying, Aram, but you must know. For a while there have been posts on the discussion forum from Smugglers, Riflemen, Pistoleers (many upon many) and even Carbineers and they have all sunk to the bottom.Some of which have gotten over 650 posts only to sink to the bottom. Not one profession was successful at having a serious dev reply to them in that forum.. until now.

It is true that nothing short of a general riot on a forum will get their attention but even that has happened and those posts still have gotten no replies. Perhaps it was the right place at the right time. For a while, I have been seeing other profession give their shot at the discussion forum but to no avail. The whole posting on the discussion forum idea just didn't seem that useful since, usually, not one of them got a response, including the multiple carbineer ones that I have seen on there.

However, now that there is a glimmer of hope perhaps now is the time to post. I strongly suggest posting in this thread:

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=553706

The thread isn't started by me, if that makes any difference. I do not see myself as the voice for the carbineer, I see myself as the person who compiles any problems that this community has or finds, determines if it's really a problem and sends it towards a brick wall. However, if needed, I can and will start a discussion. I think just about every profession learned that there is actually hope.
