Thread: Something you guys probably have an opinion about
*shrug*
There's nothing that anyone could say in that mess. The original post is a "toot our own horn" which, naturally, can end up a bit exaggerated.
According to that, Bounty Hunters are fearless and nearly unstoppable. According to that, they are the self-proclaimed "Master of Droids". According to that, they are "Experts with all weapons."
They toss the entire concept of game balance out the window pleading, "More! More! More!" Now, if they placed more universal balances in their ideas, maybe it'd help. The heavy weapons thing was silly, in my eyes...they don't need heavy weapons at all. They simply need to have unique and situationally-powerful techniques for their basic weapons. As far as droids go, yes, they should have another couple combat droids that are made specifically for them (IE, Assassin Droids that do powerful damage in the first hit, but have certain conditions about creeping up on the enemy or something), but then you could say that for all professions.

Pay attention to the part where they state they should be better than "any other profession" at using droids.
They're serious about it.
Go make yourself heard on that thread.
