Aww.
Looks like I dropped my Thermal Detonator. Oops!
Now we both dead!
But as a general rule, your thermal detonator misses him and only blows up you.

I was reading the feature regarding the Combat Rebalance Rifles.
This one caught my concern:
Explosive Shell Sniper Rifle
Effective Range: Long
Type: Rifle
Description: A power rifle capable of taking down even the toughest targets.
Sounds to me like a Blast Damage Weapon. If this does go to Riflemen, then what purpose do we as Commandos have? Swordsmen already have the Powerhammer and can perform much better demolition work than we can.
Just something I want to bring up since no one has mentioned this yet.
Damage types are likely still up in the air...and as for "what are purpose is" we need to let go of what we know...Our purpose now could be very different post-CU...right now we are suppose to be the Blast Damage ranged folks...post-CU that could, for all we know, be someone else and we have some other higher purpose...
Besides...What if it is a Blast Damage weapon and Rifleman do get it...imagine if they can't use it very well UNLESS they combine with Commando...It would make pairing with Rifleman that much more beneficial for us...
Remember...all final cert locations are still kinda up in the air until the CU becomes set in stone...Don't judge any weapon by it's description or look...Just because something looks like it's meant for a certain profession doesn't mean it will end up there...We have pre-reqs for all ranged weapons AND unarmed...so we could be getting one, two, three, etc weapons from the various one's shown...We also don't know for sure that our Pre-Reqs won't be changing...we could require a one-handed weapon tree of Brawler instead of Unarmed post-CU which could mean we are getting a Commando sword...or the same holds true fora Commando polearm weapon. Right now we drool and speculate...
All I know is, if we don't get that Rifle, I'm likely going to have to dabble for it...I just like the way it sounds...Exploding Shell Sniper Rifle...yum...

With Aeuralis out there in the sandbox with us...you can be assured that the Devs won't be screwing our profession again heh...
And if they do, well...they'll have hell to pay from Garvin and myself....but it'll be worse than death and purgatory combinedafter Aeuralis gets done with them

That was my plan.

Well, I doubt you'd be forbidden, UNLESS if you don't reveal NDA specific information...
Ive been thinking of doing something similar, a first impressions thread with the Sandbox...not giving out specifics, but to show: 1) We're finally testing and 2) If we like it or not
Im really hopeful that in light of the new information...we will, including you aeuralis. As for a start date, Im hoping next week. If we incurr another delay where it'll be pushed to the end of march or further...ugh, the dev's will have every correspondent gnawing at their legs...
