First of all I never said these are the best pistols you can buy bar none on my server, and second they are not terrible. Terrible would be an 19-83, 4.0 FWG5 or a 34-64, 3.4 Scout.


Those 5 guns probably totalled about 70,000cr where as I bought that DH17 for 200cr, and at the least you can agree is better then my Scouts by some degree. I guess I was just trying to show that the DEVs nerfed the popular pistols (FWG5, Scatter) as a supposed *fix* to bring balance. Clearly though the whole lineup of pistols is totally out of balance, and for those that say yeah well the DX2 is AP1, the armor piercing/armor rating is so bugged in this game effectively all AP/AR is bugged to 0 at some point.


And the Republic Blaster looks to be the new king? A novice artisan can use the thing. Thanx DEVs for the wonderful fixing/balancing you have done. Haven't you heard of the saying 'Don't fix, what's not broken'.

The pistols you're using in your example were not the reason for the schematic change - the 300+dmg ones were. The problem at the momentis that they "forgot" to increase the base damage/speed so that non-loot weapons would be unaffected, like they had said they would.



Yes, exactly. Which makes everything even more out of balance, thanx for agreeing with me.

The DH17 is a carbine. Also there is a varient, the DH17 snub-nose, or "short" DH17.


Thank you.

wow, he must really think we are stupid. Running around with carbines, trying to do pistoleer specials. No Ypiana, there is also a DH17 Pistol. It looks the same as the carbine, too.
