I was hoping we'd get one of the proton weapons in the CU...looks like I'm not being disappointed!

Moved Flame Thrower certification to Master Commando, Renamed weapon to "Plasma Flame Thrower"
Certed Proton Rifle at Master Commando

So we get to keep the basic Flamethrower in Flame 3, but get an advanced one at Master? Heck yeah for people who don't dabble!

Yeah, but I was hoping for the Proton Carbine.....

Oh well, maybe this'll make me go MBH/MComm to use the rifle more effectively, and who doesn't like the flamer being a master weapon, eh?

I'm staring at my character screen, with naked toons and no planet/servers listed.



....Think the Hampsters died?


I really want to take a look at the new gear.

And the way they did it implys that our current flame thowers will become Plasma Flamethrowers.


"Moved the Flamethrower cert to Master Commando and renamed Plasma Flamethrower"


That, to me, implys that any existing flame throwers will become plasmas.


THAT MEANS WE DID NOT WAIST SO MUCH MONEY ON UBA FLAME THROWERS!!!

I'm inclined to agree, especially because of the way they said that the Flamethrower certed for Flame 3 was "Added as craftable." Hoorah for my 1258 2.7 speed flamer!

We get the Plasma Flame Thrower at Master, but u missed the bit that says, A craftable FT will stay at lvl 3

I hope they at least rebalance the stats on the rifle...


I was hoping for the carbine, but... the rifle was my second choice.


Crap, now I have to re-do my template again, unless this works with heavy weapons stuff...

Can someone please explain to me what a Proton Rifle is? Is this weapon from SW lore? Is it a T-21 type rifle (heavy damage)? Is it going to have AoE? Is it going to have a DoT? Seriously, I am really curious to see what is so Commando-esque about this weapon.


A rifle that shoots Protons is NOT an acceptable answer by the way


Oh and WOOT to having a bigger (plasma) Flamethrower.







Ummm...it's a rifle that shoots charged protons?

Come to TC5 and pick one up...they look sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.


"And there was much burninating......"




What part of that didn't you understand


Thanks again Helios for answering our questions in concise and honest form. Commandos realy do appreciate your to-the-point attitude. Now, this question is for the testers, what is the range on the Proton Rifle? And has anyone updated the CU Weapons Thread yet?


My lord, instead of having nothing but food/macros anda FT or two in my toolbar, I will have nothing but weapons, weapons, weapons filling the toolbar. A gun for every situation. Can't wait.

I'm going to guess it operates in the same principle as the proton torpedoes...

CurrentFlamers will convert to Plasma Flamers and will be pushed to master certs. This was done so the krayted FTs in production don't gethit withmore of a nerf than necessary.

Both Flamers are craftable.

The Proton Rifle is a single target, master level weapon with stats to match.

The Plasma Flamer does less AOE damage, but does more direct damage overall.

The regular Flamer does more AOE damage, but less direct damage overall.







How about the krayted and goraxed bowcasters? After almost 2 years of wookiees being underpowered are you gonna change the existing ones to the master cert as well or are all old bowcasters now trash?


Commandoes needed love with the CU and seems to get it.Us Wooks need some too

...not to meantion it is about the coolest looking gun in game, and the BHs already get a shiny new carbine. This way anyone that was actually serious about using carbines would get access to a very neat weapon, instead of giving it to a prof where only a small portion of the people using that prof would use it.





BHs have been asking for a cold based BH carbine for a very long time, as a matter of fact itis one of our Top 5 issues. Also, we need that in our Master box. Carbineers already have a Master level Carbine with commensurate damage. Furthermore, I'd expect a lot of the BHs use that weapon due to its range and capabilities.


Also, it is a looted weapon I beleive, so regardless it is not going to be that common.
