There are too many to check, but if your name resides on ANY of the petitions for dual wielding pistols or holsters, you have no credibility here and no respect from me after making this argument. Surely you would be against such "new content" that is intended to "distract" us from the problems of our broken profession.
That really depends on the manner in which they implemented. If dual wield and holsters were made in such a way that they were viable replacements and indeed better than the current pistoleer content (admitedly not a hard thing to accomplish), then I'd be all for them.
If you have not signed for either or these changes then I apologise, as I know exactly what you mean, the new content added each month that I cannot participate in while I remain a pistoleer, DWB has killed thousands of pistoleer who keep going back because they can't afford DE-10s.
I agree that at the moment the DWB is unatainable for pistoleers, but hopefully come the combat balance (yes, I know, I'm sick to the teeth of that answer too) we should see a different story.
As for my waiting strategy. I only meant to wait to see what the combat balance brings us, as anything we ask for now regarding combat they tell us "wait for combat balance" or "the workload with jedi, JTL and CB is too much for us to take on anything new right now, you can have another nerf and a swoop race track to keep you busy though" In order to avoid this type of treatment I suggest we keep to our own and let the devs get on with it. A little closer to combat balance when they publish the intended changes, we can give them our thoughts, until then, we wait.
Couldn't agree more. I hope every pistoleer that is selected to play in the 'sand pit' voices all of their concerns in a constructive yet very loud manner
PS, let the noobs keep whining for dual wield and holsters, those will never be successfully implemented and we use another broken feature or twoin this profession, seriously.
Not so. Dual wield can be made nice, all it takes is a little time from the Dev team. As for holsters, I agree that in the current state of the game, they'd be as useless as a holo emote in combat, although there is hope for a change in that; with the armour and weapon equip timer in place, holsters could be the edge that means a pistoleer wins a fight - with sweeping changes being made for the smuggler revamp to illegal items, they could implement a system that anyone carrying a gun around in their hands gain an automatic TEF from local law enforcement (if a policeman sees you running down the street wielding a gun in the US, you better hope you have a damn good reason and he's a real poor aim
). None of us can predict the future with 100% accuracy and certainly not for this game. I'm pretty sure how things are going to go until Christmas, but after that, who knows?
