You can get the whole transcript here. If you don't see it on the front page, you'll have to click through the archives. Below is the whole exchange on the topic, brief as it is.

[17:35] [Brannoc] [Zode{TR}] will duel wielding ever be implimented?

[17:35] [Blair] We had a motion capture shoot a few months ago and captured motion for duel wielder of weapons.

[17:35] [Blair] One thing we want to do before putting additional professions in the game is make sure all our existing profession are fun.

[17:36] [Blair] So as time goes on you will see us talk more about duel wielding.

From this we can speculate:

1) Pistols are not mentioned specifically. We may have originally thought ofdual wield as"our baby," but there's no reason Fencers wouldn't get it as well, for example. I think they have brought it up as well.

2) Blair seems to be hinting that dual wield would not be included until the Space Expansion, when a slew of new "elite-elite" professions would be added. It is possible that dual weild wouldn't technically be a part of Pistoleer at all, but would be included in a profession with Master Pistoleer as a prerequisite.

3) Dual wield is very likely to happen. This is a "motion capture shoot." It means the developers take it seriously enough to start working on the 3D modeling to render a character with dual wield.

4) It could become a hot topic for discussion later.

5) The developers have priorities that mesh with ours: Fix Pistoleer, then add dual wield.

All in all, this is great news.

I would bet fencers have a better chance of getting it than we do.

correction MASTER PISTOLEERS are getting duel pistols, i dont know if i can survive the wait!!!

Even Star Wars movies dont like NGE....

Yoda: Twisted by the Dark Side, young SWG has become. The game we played, gone it is... Consumed by the NGE.
Mace Windu(us): The customers will decide SWG's fate.
Supreme Chancellor(Devs): I *am* the customers!

I oppose the NGE and support Holocron Shug and Q-3p0's dream of the way SWG should be!

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, ?How can we do this and not make another EQ?? We didn?t want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we?ve created a system to make that happen."

She said Dual weilding weapons...not pistols. So that could mean dual wielding gadereffi baton. Besides do you really want them to waste more space on your computer so you can just have daul weilding specials ? I can care less. I will most likely quit the game if we get daul weilding pistols and specials but the base prof wont get a single recognition on the broken skills. Have fun flame me all you want but im not posting about dual pistols anymore ...that also mean anything that mentions dual pistols in it im exiting out.

You really want to know why our specials have been broken for so long?

Because one of our biggest "issues" has been the ability to "dual-wield" pistols. I mean, c'mon... if you're a developer and you have to prioritize the complaints of all of the combat professions, where on the list do you put the profession that makes cute eye-candy one of its top problems?

If we do get dual wield, what requirement do all of you think is fair? Personally, I think the certification should be limited to Master Pistoleers only. The last thing I want to see is a BH/Pistoleer dual wielding with eye spam. lol

Dual weild should be a skill in an Elite/Elite Profession. Like if there was an Elite Master Pistoleer profession. That way BH dabblers couldn't get our best skills. But this whole dual weild confirmation is just another example of how the devs don't listen to the people who actually play the game.

I think it would be best if only one gun shot specials, and the other gun just did normal shots (and at its own speed).

And maybe we could get one special move that goes with dual wielding, like an attack where you spin around 360 degrees and rapidly fire your pistols. Would be AoE, and do more damage....or maybe it could be AoE and do a lot more damage, but make you dizzy for a short time
