Thread: If knockdown is nerfed then pistoleers will have no way to level up
We all have our own playing style. I prefer to lvl solo, I dont like relying on anyone but myself. Every group i have been in other then with my PA has been a horrible failure. Something I learned early on and will stick with me the rest of the game.
If you have master **** above your head, yes maybe I group with you since chances are you arent some ranting newbie wannabe hero.
Nerfs are never the solution to problems such as these. If you honestly think so, just wait till a skill you heavily rely on gets nerfed.. Since you obviously dont use it or just saying u do.

fact is, you cant tank anything by yourself (unless its so weak you dont get but 1-2xp anyway) without some way of stunning or hindering your target. And dont go telling me to find a group or just keep killing my blue mobs. You shouldnt "have" to find a group to advance.. and as for the blue mobs.. by the time you get so high into pistoller.. those blue mobs are tearing you a new one. They only thing i know to do without the use of somthing to stun a mob is to kite.. and there are very very few creatures you can kite onced you get so high.
That's not a "fact" at all, since you're just plain wrong. I can tank things that give 2500 XP without using knockdown. They're yellow to me at nearly Master Pistoleer.
You know the difference between me and you? I'm also nearly a master combat medic. I have 3000 little bottled complete heals in my bag that only cost me 60 mind to use. What are you besides pistoleer?

Marksmenshould not have to play a healer class/creature handler with the classes we want to play. I'm mastering pistoleer, smuggler, and teras kasi and have no desireto play a boring class like combat medic or doctor. And i don't want to play a game where everyone is either a healer or a CH.
Nerf medics they can heal during combat. J/K
I have to go with the leave it alone group. Almost every combat class has some form of knockdown.
Instead of being jealous of each others skills learn to work with what you have.

Then don't.. kill things that are worth lower xp, take longer to heal after.. *shrug*
Or, Godforbid GROUP with a "Boring class". Your mastering 2 high DPS classes, expect downtime, or to loose if you cant kill something very quickly.
Right on Scorpio. I'm tired of getting grouping rammed down my throat, like other games have done. I like to have the OPTION of real people to group with, which is why I prefer MMORPG's.

What a great idea, too bad nobody wants to group in this game.

I'll agree with you there. Grouping is poorly done in this game. XP isn't sufficiently better, group members compete for XP, and there is NO reward for being a support class. In fact, being a support class hurts you. In a group where I am the healer, not only do I get far less combat XP than everyone else, but I spend a buttload of money on my materials. I can blow 20k worth of stims easy on a small hunt in a large group.
So what do I do? When I group, I shoot. Screw healing anyone but me or my immediate friends in the group.
When a game makes me decide to do that, it's bad design.
100% behind Caelri on that one!
Most people take their medics for granted assuming that since they make XP when healing you they shouldn't complain. Thats preposterous! The medic might not be the one to do the most damage but without them most hunts are over even before they stat and their chems on't grow on trees!
I am starting to believe that any medic who would ask a few creditsto actually serve as a field nurse would actually not be that out of line considering they make zip XP and spend a fortune keeping trigger happy grunts on their feet.
Bow to your medics and for GOD's SACKE! TIP THEM!
Knockdown nerfing came as a direct result of wanabee PvP heros whiners. Thanks to the overflowing crys of those who got beaten by a knockdown move now the only combat worthy move is going to hit the dust. Thanks to all the cry babies that were so bitter at novice marksman to be beaten by an advance pistoleer or Bounty Hunter! I hope you guys enjoy fighting 10k HAM mercenaries without a knockdown move!

Yeah and guess what? 1 knockdown and a couple of specials and they still die. Just means they only die once a minute.
The whole timer thing on Maskscent and now this is just BS. They're not fixing the REAL problems, such as the fact that the RESISTS DON'T WORK. FIX the resists and leave knockdown. If they start nerfing everything because of PVP then dammit I want to see NPC storm troopers and MARKS with less than 1k HAMS, because you're going to have to nerf the whole frigging game.
