Pistoleer Archive

I know I'm not the only one who get's jealous when they watch a swordsman dance around with their glowing red blade casting circles all around them, and they move around their target in a pretty **edit** sexy manner.

All I can do is stand around with my arms outstretched in front of me, stiff as a board, and my fists bounce up and down every few seconds and shots fire out of my gun.

Aren't pistols supposed to be pretty?? Aren't we supposed to be cool looking? Why can't I have a holster swinging from my thigh? Why cant I bend my knees when I draw my gun?

Pistoleers are frigging UGLY CHARACTERS!

I know we've got more important things to worry about, like having all of our specials fixed, but honestly... look at what we're working with here -- Stiff stances and DX2 pistols, which look similar to what I imagine a Gammorrean baby to look like... all wrinkly and small.We look lame, and dammit, I want to have Clint Eastwood-like quick draw powers. I want to shoot from the hip. I want to look sexy like the TKA Artists!

Take your specials and shove 'em -- It's all about looking cool. If we're gonna lose in PvP (which we will anyway... thanks eyeshot), can't we at least go down in style?

It's in the look. Why do you think people go for pikeman?

That's all.

i bet you watch will&grace

Are you kidding me dude!!! With all the problems with this profession you complain about your pistoleer not being pretty!! First of all a pistoleer should never be standing still watching his fist move up and down. Thats what all that accuracy while moving is for, a pistoleer should always be moving. I hope you give up this profession. Go be a pretty dancer or something.

Nothing is as beautiful as Tik'ee when hes blasting rebels into oblivion. Its like poetry in motion. Who said Twi'leks were only good for dancing?

Hmm, why do I get the urge to beat someone up when I read that post?

Whaddya mean, I'm pretty........fed up with broken specials

Aren't we all pretty..............much the least diverse ranged combat elite? ( see 1 trick pony)

I mean c'mon, I feel pretty........much ignored by the devs. Hellooooo TH, wern't ya gonna post here? Last week? Any one else remeber the love we were promised 2 patches ago?


The twirly guns flameing moratorium has come to an end, I will now be flaming most posts containing thew words "twirly" or "look cool", I gave ya 3 days after the patch 'cause I was soooo pleased with dodge. That time has passed.

I don't know about you but i'm fricking gorgeous. I got this great combination of light blue armor and lavender clothes, the nerdy-goggles, and a styling hairdo. Then i run around in circles shooting fanshot (five animated bolts), and the pretty colors get sprayed all over the screen. it's like christmas! Especially when you use the DX2 or republic blaster.

For the record I did not use the word "twirly" to describe any way I ever wanted to look. Thanks.

tbh DandysRule has a point. If only our moves were like in the equilibrium film :]

Watch Kill Bill then watch Resevoir Dogs. Same painter, different subjects

Sword fighting is a graceful art combining footwork and balance with the movement of the blade.

Gunfighting is down and dirty, plant yourself as well as possible and go for the heart.

We're not supposed to be pretty

Hey, at least in Resevoir Dogs they shot with one hand...

But that's not what I'm talking about. I mean A Fistful of Dollars, or The Good the Bad and the Ugly... Gunfighting was sexy.

Maybe tailors should be able to craft ponchos... that would help.

Boy, no wonder no one likes Pistoleers. You guys flame your own...

I'd love to see some cool Dodge moves, maybe some Matrix-style flipping around, or gymnastics. Perhaps some cool "gathering energy" effect like the TKA's have when they go berserk, for our big specials like Stopping Shot.

Sound effects would be cool too. And a cool Kiai yell when doing PMD1 and PMD2 would be great!
