Thread: COMBAT MEDICS VOTE Changed to ranged support!
I like an early response that said "give us the option of which Marksman branch we want to do" but I could see that being difficult to achieve from a programmatic standpoint. Sort of. I think that's really the ideal solution, but in the absence of that I've got to side with the many others who chose diversity.
Hmmm this reaction tells me one thing, well done Blix you just made the BH's favorite combo even easier to get, can you devs not think about more than one profession at a time without realising the knock on effect for numerous others with your changes?

So...
So BH can take more smuggler, what of it?
The Devs understood this, the thing is, it really does not matter.
I'm an ex BH, never a CM and never a smuggler and I still have to say ranged support is the most fair thing to do for the CM's.
So what if BH can now take smuggler easier? Really just does not hurt anything that I can see.
Thank's for showing that your available to compromise devs, personally I was neutral on this and understood both sides, but your willingness to bend on issues like this go a long way to show that you are listening, thank you.
p.s.
Thank you for the CU, I'm one of those that am really excited for this and have been testing. FYI, although my friends are nervous, none are preparing to leave the game or cancel accounts, most I think are apprehensivly excited, keep it up.

Doh! I liked it being pistols. But that's just because I was a mix of CM and Pistoleer. Of course, I'm not a Combat Medic anymore, so it doesn't matter much to me.
But everyone who is saying Ranged would give you more template flexibility or more choices... sure it would... at a cost of more skillpoints. If you liked using pistols, this change would be ideal since you would no longer need Ranged AND Pistols.And the Combat XP for Ranged is harder to get than Pistol XP. But, you do get some good general mods with Ranged Support and Overcharge Shot and it makes more sense for a ranged damage profession such as CM.
Anyway, my opinion on this means pretty much bupkis since I'm no longer a CM.
But, hey, Blixtev... you seem pretty reasonable... How about getting the Armor Smith resource requirements changed back to OQ / SR or something that would help out those AS who gathered all the old requirement materials with high OQ and SR. Plus Shock Resistance just plainmakes sense. It's the ability for the material to absorb (or resist)shock. Thatsuits the requirements of armorto a "T".
