Pistoleer Archive

Every class has those types of people. You know the ones that want carbineers to be able to rain fire fro m the heavens and for droid engineers to be able to make an army of droideka to do their bidding, or that riflement shout be able to pop your skull from 1000+ meters. Don't judge all BH's by a few. Most of us aren't idiots and are QUITE satisfied with our power level. Do what I do with the dumb ones.

IGNORE EM!

please don't lump all us bounty hunters into one big ball of stupid u_u

I'm working up to master bounty hunter and I read the list of all of 'our' request. I thought most of them we're stupid. I don't know why our corrospondant would bother posting the lamest of ideas just because one or two people thought it might be a good idea. I'm gathering though, by glancing at the lower level ones that some of them are just a joke.. see: Organ Harvesting.

I guess you shouldn't take all the request you see so seriously, It's just a list of everyones desire for our class and when you poll the public your going to get responces from scholars AND dunces. All it takes is forone dunce tosuggestand one toagree to a really stupid idea and it got on the list. Did I mention the list isn't objectional past 5 and down? Some of the things on there though we're good ideas I think, but not just for BH, for ALL gun weilding classes. I beleive holsters would prove a much needed cosmetic change. Master Pistoleer and Master Bounty Hunters should both be able to weild two pistols because it's very stylish u.u

Jimm,

I hate to say this, but the SWG devs have proven IMOthat they listen to complaints. I gave them the benefit of the doubt early on and was very reasonable and balanced everything I requested, and kept things in perspective. I felt good about the things we requested in terms of overall game balance. Do you recall what Holo said after reading the first report?

Something to the effective of "All combat professions cried like little babies except pistoleers, so we think pistoleers are probably overpowered".

man i remember that report, i wanted to fly to san diego or whever soe is located, and beat the hell out of holo. well no not really but i was so mad you wrote all of these reports that wasnt whining, wasnt crying my class isnt uber and they listened to the whiners.

I remember it all too well.

So, the result is, EVERYONE should cry and whine since the devs don't know how to balance and will rely on the player base. Quite opposite of what a sane person might think is the right direction, but there you have it.

i hope the devs can see your levelheadedness(is that even a word). while some of the other correspondants are not so impartial and want evrything there is under the sun.

As to reading the BH forum, yes, they are ludicrous in their requests and probably don't expect to get all the changes, but of course, would prefer it if BHs remained better than any other combination of professions so they can feel like they aren't missing something in another profession. Whatever that means. IMO, there are too many broken things to worry about BHs right now, I worry more of the longevity of the game and it's inability to offer anythingrewarding or challenging.

i agree with you here but my thought is what if they do get alot of these things. i worked to be good with a pistol but dont have any desire to be a bh. is that wrong that i dont want to be a bh. should i be punished and be a lesser pistol user since i dont want to be a bh. i just want master pistoleer to mean something other than what it is now. maybe some good fixes are coming. no hopefully some fixes are coming. who knows
