1. A new system will be brought in making weapons certed by level rather than proffession.
2. Respec will be based novice box for novice box and elite for elite making those unneeded marksman lines wasted grinding.

Yeah, a respec system based off of nov/elite skills would suck...that would mean many players out there with an elite profession will probably have to grind out their new pre-reqs at least, and us hybrids elite skills...
Definately not a good idea to go abouts.

Unless Starnick suddenly has the ability to take over tyrant's old position, I don't think there's anything he can do.

Making a big stink about it now.
*Dons his gas mask*
Seriously, I can surely see the 169 hybrids commando/bhs loosing at least 14 skillpoints out of this...UNLESS if they don't master another ranged profession and opt to dabble in all the ranged professions, even then master marksman would be lost.
It can hurt the elites too, primarily for mixed (not full 250 sp template) avatars as well.
Skillpoint for a skillpoiny is simply so much easier...just have it work solely on combat related professions.

The new weapon cert system isn't bothering me too much since they did state that profs will still have certain signature weapons, but the elite for elite and novice for novice is gonna be harsh. I don't like the idea of being punished for having a master novice prereq and I bet BH's are tweaked too. I mean at Master Commando/Master Marksman/Master Rifleman... I should be able to spend all but 18 skill points on retempleting into whatever I want (my other sp are in scout). I understand why, because a lot of people could just grind out master marksman and master brawler really quick to get the sp I guess for less xp and time, but that really hurts BH's and Commando's...
Shot Stern a PM in the chat about the BARC... hehe man those new players coming in are gonna be richer from selling their gift speeders than many players.... I wonder if they would let me sell my spare goggles now to buy one

What about the weapon cert system based on level? This bother anyone else or am I being closed minded. We were jumping for joy over the master level FT to keep it out of dabblers hand turns out now they won't even have to dabble for it just be a high enough combat level.

With the BARC Speeders...I wonder if they're like the flash speeder (where they can be "bought" from the game)
If so...then hell, I want one. If not...the newbies will be richer than weaponsmiths!
Btw, Commando Weapons = Combat Level/Skill Box...already got that confirmed
Now...Im pretty sure it'll include at least the Launcher Pistol as MKs and PR are to be determined. But...with those LP's...you ALL will be pleasantly...surprised.

What stinks is even if you went and boughts the box set you still wouldn't get one unless you made a whole new account. It just seems like a slap in teh face to the customer base who has sat through all the bull and bunk they have thrown our way.
