Maybe there is supposed to be a new one each month and no successor to Alchai has been selected....

Alchai has quit over the no decay issue

Bro - you need to be leading the charge in getting our class fixed - especially after our 3rd major "nerf" to our class.

Every major update we have been nerfed...

1. Knockdown - Posture - effectiveness reduced

2. Knockdown ham cost increased dramatically.

3. 30 second timer on Knock down and Posture change WITH the effectiveness of Kockdown and posture change reduced.

Effectively destroying our major purpose in the game - crowd control.

Possible fixes:

1. Our Hams need to be reduced dramatically.

2. To put carbineers back into the crowd control business - we should be the only class withthis skill and the 30 second timer needs to go away.

3. I dont have a problem with the 30 second timer knockdown but if it has a 30 second timer its effectiveness needs to go back UP. Or remove the timer and reduce the effectiveness. One or the other not both.

4. Alot of our special have stun and dizzy which does very little in the way of PVE. Change one of our lines to a very slow snare or root. This will allow NPCs to shoot back but will put us back in the crowd control business.

Even if they feel that we need a timer (which, really, we do like everyone else), since we are the "crowd control" class perhaps our timer should not be quite so long? maybe a 15-20 sec timer instead of the 30? I can run and kite for a little while, but I can't stay away for the full 30 sec..then I get hosed.

ya i dunno what we are supposed to be.. i always figured we were supposed to be the main assault guys and commandos would be like crowd control (i always imagined commandos being like the SAW gunner while we man the m-16's)

the knockdown time nerf was a MUST for pvp, but we really need our specials fixed, legshot 3 still doesnt work, chargeshot 2 isnt working right, wildshot just sucks...burst shot 2 should be as powerful as crippling shot and the list goes on..

at this point, i'd be happier if they'd even give us consistent spelling. pistoleers, they got nerfed bad too (not one, so i can't really compare...but from what my friend has said, they're near as bad off as we are now), but also got an entire re-work of the skill tree. new names and everything FOR everything. was that on their top5? nope. are a lot of them upset about it? well, some are, hehe. what do we get? the shaft.

the bitterness and cynicism are a direct result of perceived ignoring. it seems like you are ignoring us, devs...especially when the high-population professions get direct contact and fixes thrown their way, while we get nerfs and watch on helplessly. please, at the very least...just drop in and say 'hi!'

I feel we are being totally ignored as a class except for the nerfs.

With the hit to AS1 and 2 I basically feel naked out there now. Perhaps that should be our way to protest, all carbineers put on your carbineer title and run around in your undies in the game.

Evolutionary theory of the day: God nerfed the Dodo into extinction. Many, many eons ago, the Dodo started as the Phoenix, a great and wonderous bird. However, all the other birds bitched, so slowly God ate away at the beauty and power of the Phoenix until only the poor stupid Dodo was left.

lol, i have been

gah, hit submit by accident

i have been since the nerf, when i decided/said to my pa 'that's it i'm going commando'. then a bunch of cracks about me being nekkid when all i meant was the profession, then i decided to scrap the profession like 20 mins later, so i run around nekkid to save face. weird how that works out, huh? =)

and i'm wearing my novice carbinier title until that gets fixed (it should be carbineer **edit** it! i've even been filling out a /bug report on it once a day, and mentioning it in almost every post since the big patch. that, only due to pistoleers having entire re-work of skill tree names/titles and we get the shaft on names. some other professions got names of things changed, too, like ranger and scout i think...i just noticed pistoleer 'cuz my pistoleer friend was bitching about it. he doesn't like the new names, lol)

If you do a search for his most recent posts, you'll see that he was on Wednesday morning it seems. I'm assuming that he's either being very selective with what he answers due to a lot of negativity floating around but reading the posts, he's swamped with correspondent duties from TH, or both.
