Sorry for being brash all, but this is my last night to keep a commando since I need to be full templeted tomorrow to be able to go out with my friends for the expansion etc and well the CU is here and I am still stuck in close quarters to deal damage and well... I can smoke my heavy weapons with a carbine in pure DPS because of action difference alone.


You say DPS but how many HW shots can you get off compared to a low cost pistol with the same DPS?? Who will win... they will on damage and plunk it to death while we wail our action away to no avail.

35m is outside of saber throw range... enough said.



*Edit* No it isn't I guess... Jedi are all over the game as it is now. I have no issue with that really, in a small way I do because this game was never supposed to be like this from the beta info I began to like. Now they are here and prominent in PvP... they will be again when a good template is realized public. We need to be out of that range in order to fight in PvP. As for PvE 25m is still too close... and well I am sorry but a flamethrower as a primary weapon is not very star warsy even if I have over 160mil invested in them via krayted PFT's etc.



*Edit2 myself man * They add the proton rifle to WS schems... we won't even be having this conversation because that one weapon will nullify our complaints of lack of ability to deal good comparable damage without the AoE effect and no extra coding of a special to negate it. If that goes... I will buy you a beer of your choice at any fan fest etc you deem I mean they made the alliance disruptor craftable...

Thats what the Pistoleers are probably saying too . All Pistols can only be used in a range of around 35 meters =/

They added 2 schematics to weaponsmith in the last patch...I sure hope they add the Proton Rifle soon...

Edit: And with SAC involved yeah, action costs are going to be playing some pivotal roles...Thankfully I the weapons I posted about above has a HW SAC of 108 =)

Edit2: I get relatively the same amount of shots off with my FWG5 and HW, but I get about 200 or so better damage. With my Elite Carbine, about 50-100 more in the same number of shots. Its too little to be of HW however...

Not editing again.... but you need to be slapped for that HW SAC of 108... can't get better atm Nice cost though mate!

Suggestion:


Add the proton rifle to WS schems so it can be made, in place of the loot PR... let that long range grenade rifle go to master commando but add in that other posters idea of 'nade packs to control what kind of nade the rifle can launch to give us more range with nades and more versatility?



*Edit* For that matter it was advertised as a CU weapon and now it is an expansion weapon. It should already have been live and we wouldn't even be talking about us having issues not having a non-AoE weapon!

Hey Nick,

Kind of off the topic, but who do you buy your weapons from on our server?

Not sure if this will mean anything, or help at all. Some friends and others have told me that the Proton Carbine is a quest reward on Kashyyk in the Ryaart Trail (yes I know spelled wrong). And it is MBH only. So, maybe, the Proton Rifle is around on Kashyyk somewhere.

This just in:

The Proton Rifle, and other assortment of neat weapons, can be found in Myyydril Caverns/Kkowir Forest. That's all the clues I can give.

Some of us don't have ROTW and the only way to get a proton rifle is to spend millions of credits (i'm a poor Bothan) to get one once they hit the trade forums.

I see a simple solution here:



  • Make the Master-Level Proton Rifle Craftable

  • Make the RotW Proton Rifle an upgraded/different one, kinda like the old mod. republic blaster deal
