Thread: AN apology from a rifleman
OK look i am only stating this once in here. I came in here to apologize not brag good god I never even dreamed they would nerf you. The Devs consider Nerfs the only way to balance and I had not taken that into account when I posted.
On aside note how the hell can you justify a Maskman Pistol 4 user slaughtering a 2-2-2-2 rifleman? I get it I need to get all the master speed bonused to compete with someone who is still in the marksman tree?

Begun the flame wars have!
MarcoRenaldi,
Pointless? What has the armor you are wearing have anything to with the damage you are inflicting with a T21? The example above does just deals with how armor piercing works and the armor on thetarget you are causing damage to.
What is pointless though is your argument that states you can only get 2 shots off before your mind pool is depleted. Ever heard of buffs, food, spices?
Here are what my mind statsare all buffed up:
3200 mind
1700 focus
2200 willpower
Food and spices are bugged at the moment, but under normal bug free conditions, I seriouslly doubt you and your T21 with a -33.16% mind powerup would be able to only get 2 shots off before you're out of mind. 
Maybe we should make a post and complain about rifleman's specials being NON healable while our specials are in healable pools, then when the dev nerf's mindshot to hit random pool we can post on their forum and say, "Oops, we're sorry, our intension wasn't to nerf rifleman it was to unnerf pistoleer special's, we're sorry"
Marco, just wanna say I admire youre cajones at showing and posting the apology here. Also, I don't think, personally, that the nerfing of the FWG was your fault. The Devs were probably working on nerfing it beforehand (maybe not even on purpose! they might not even know!)
However, I think part of the problem is that Riflemen have too much of a hard-on for the T-21. I mean, sure, it's the only rifle unique to their class, but it shouldn't be the ONLY rifle that riflemen use all the time. It's AP3, for chrissakes, and I think people forget that. If you're up against a krayt, or a kimogila, or a jedi, or an AT-ATthen the T-21 is going to pwn everything except for a rocket launcher or proton grenade. If your opponent is in composite armor, you will seriously mess them up. Don't use the T-21 for fighting chubas, though.
Look at OTHER classes elite weapons. The DX2 is useful only becaue of acid damage. The stun baton only because of stun damage. The Vibro Lance is outclasses by the LVA, except it does electricity, which might be useful. The Power Hammer pwns, but it's blast, and it is really slow unless you're advanced. The VK adds a lot to HAM cost, and is STILL kinetic. And the elite carbine just sucks.
So, the only weapon that approaches the coolness of the T-21 is the power hammer.

I dont use armor because oi get two shots off before my mind pool is wasted so that argument of pistol vs. rifle is completely pointless
no whats pointless is if u cant use your class in pvp u start crying lmao it is funny really they cant pvp and then they blame it on the gun
...to the idiot who just posted the stats on what a t21 would do compared to the fwg5....
....well lets see mr. fwg5 can have that gun at marksman pistols 4.....and wil be hitting for approx 1 sec....
....the guy with the T21, unless he is a master rifleman (which takes a hell of alot of work to get to) is gonna be hitting around every 6-7 sec.....so now do the math genius...
ill give u the benefit of the doubt and say the t21 hits every 6 sec....so after a total of 12 sec...
the T21 has hit for 624 damage.....while the fwg5almost doubles that hitting for 1200....make sure u get all ur facts straight before u post garbage....
Hmm let me try to sum this up....
Suck my salty chocolate balls, you douche........
By the way you still suck but...
Maybe limiting over camped dragon drops or upping the number needed in a gunwould have been a better idea?
make a 1-50 drop a 1-500 drop and see how many pop up per server
Were there really so many of these out there that they were unbalancing?
Did you thinkbefore you posted?
Unlike most professions the pistoleers who are still here are pretty smart we'll find a way......
As for those calling for the constantnerfs........................ see post above
i think, they need to stop people from going up all the other BH smuggler tress.
I have a freind, who does 1k per shot, with last ditch, and is able to spam it insanly!
Other than people dabbling in smuggler/bh nothing needs to be nerfed with pistols.
That was very big of you but I dont think it was your post that caused the change on test.
Im not that upset about it since I rarely use a FWG anyway. I have never had a pistol that did 400 damage let alone 500 and I can hunt and kill just about anything in the game.
I am now using a Metal DL44 for my main pistol and doing just fine killing 24 and 25 level mobs for cash. For higher mobs I have other ways of taking care of business.
I dont think this is going to negatively effect people as much as they think. sure your FWG wontdo 500 damage but it will still be good enough and Its my hope that future weapons added to the game will make it even more interesting.
