If this has been discussed already, in development, or actually in the game, please forgive me.


I feel that master pistoleers (soEVERYONE won't be doing it) should be "awarded" a special unequip emote. You should be able to spin your pistol in your hand,thenholster it (Think Jango Fett right before he's decapitated, along with countless other times in movies and television shows).


Hey, we're pistoleers! We should be expected to do this kind of thing. Dind't anyone else expect to be doing that in this game?

this is a good idea, albeit its at the bottem of the list of things we need, i think a emote for all Masters would be a good idea, more of a incentive to go master

could tie it into a macro so after you incap, you spin the gun and holster it, would be very slick

Col_Fordin did you actually attempt to figure out the most moronic thing you could have said then post it?


There is no reason it should not be discussed

I agree...fix my special moves, give me better guns, thats all I want!!!


I cant believe people are pushing for pistol spins and holsters when we have so many other issues. If you wanna look cool....every shot you take from now on, make it a roll shot. This way you will not only be a pistoleer, but a gymnastics profesional too.

Hey, I wouldn't mind flourishes an holsters an rolling about captain Kirk moves and the like. But not until everything else is fixed. I'd certainly rather my skills, defenses and weapons worked without a flourish than to really suck at my elite profession stylishly. SO, that said, I'm all for the whole twirly-move, holster bearing, trick-shot having, two-gunned woo style, rootinest-tootin-est-mad-dog-shootin-est combat thing. But NOT until everything else is fixed. Make our profession work. Then we'll talk about being Roy Rogers.

You're absolutely right. I'm not saying it should be something the devs should jump on and start designing. I just thought it was worth mentioning. Isn't this the forum to make suggestions for a certain profession??? If not, please point me to it, and i'll bother the people there.


By all means, fix the broke and useless stuff first!


But in the mean time:


*Twirls gun forward*


*Twirls gun backward*


*Holsters*

Twirly guns and holsters is a sensitive subject on this board. Wear your flame retardent underwear when you post about the subject.

i agree,


should fix whats wrong with the pistoleer(along w/all other professions),first..then they can add extra animations to help entertain our little brains..Twirling gun? not sure maybe that be cool,but I would prefer double pistols,and that would server two purposes: lookn good and gameplay:would help that skill of double tap look better and add multiple target skills...and by all means this would/should be a pistoleer only skill....


But in all ends, i'd rather fix the stuff first,make the skills unique instead of the same? i'd fine u can just stand up and hit kick up shot over and over and do same damage..should only work if ur kneeled/prone..and same for all skills..if each skill dont have some type of purpose besides damage,then whats the real difference between all professions(except amount of damage)..just add some stuns/knockdowns/dizzy to our profession..and by all means make 'Disarming Shot' actually disarm the opponent,not just damage..make it a 50% chance it will work and if it does opponents weapon gets put back into inventory,makin that person having to rearm himself....

Just think, it was way down the list in 03 when we ahd broken specials and its now 05 and we still have broken specials. So I guess you are gonna have to be a lot more patient because the list of things we wantis long and distinguished and I think animations is not on the priority list.
