Thread: No FWG Nerf! Anyone with me??
They are doing it because of a big that allowed super fwg5's to be mass produced....These fw5's were supposed to be extreamly rare, instead almost everyone has one because of the serial number bug.
However nerfing the fw5 is not the answer, because if it starts with the fw5, it will spread to scatters/Launchers/scouts and any other gun that can be krayt enhanced.
This is another case of SOE attacking the symptom and not the problem itself.
I dont mind the fwg5 nerf as long as we get better weaponsadded(or duel weilding) and im pretty sure we will once they get around to fixing up pistoleer
it looks like theyre going through everything one profession ata time, they will get to pistoleer someday and when they do we will get whats coming to us
There is a post on the main boards by philospher, which voices the concern over the fw nerf.
If you want to be heard I suggest you post there, as that board gets checked more frequently then this one.

"Someday" is the key word there. I've been playing since release, and in that time they have made one fix to Pistoleer -- and it's something we didn't ask for and weren't told about in advance. There have been several nerfs, however.
There is no good reason that I see for nerfing the FWG5 -- if they're going to nerf it, I want an explanation and they need to fix our other pistols (like DX2)so they're worth using. I'm not willing to wait around for another year until it's "our turn" ... we're paying customers and deserve to have a profession that isn't broken.
lol in reference to the "once they get around to fixin pistoleer". umm "getting around" to it should not be an issue. we paid anywhere from $50-$80 for this game plus the $14 a month to continue playing it...we shouldn't have to wait for anything. it should already be done...if we want stuf fto get fixed in pistoleer it looks like we just need to POST POST POST about our profession taking hits. the more we post, the more will get done...hopefully. at least that's the way it seems to work. i mean look at riflemen whinning about pistoleer, the more they whined, the more we took a beating. so keep lobbying to get our profession back on track if we beg, plead, and whine more than the others maybe our issues will be addressed instead of us taking another nerf right up the kister.
Oh and btw, to you folks that think the power handlers for the krayt FWG5s need nerfing...SCREW YOU! do you realize how hard it is for someone to come about a krayt tissue honestly? i'm no imperial with a squad of ATSTs backing me up to go on a krayt hunt. i'm a lowly REBEL pistoleer, it took me 3hrs of careful planning and strategy to solo my first krayt not to mention the loss of all my faction pets...and i was so happy that i looted tissues i could have crapped myself. given the sorry state of affairs with group functions and the disturbing prevalence of ninja looters; coming by krayt tissue HONESTLY and/orwithout paying large amounts of credits for it is a tuff gamble (unless you're on of those **edit** Imperials). i don't even like venturing out on krayt hunts unless i'm with a few folks i know i can trust. so if i can come by a couple of krayt tissues and i want to have a FWG5 made that will give me just a bit more of an edge then that's my right. quit whining about stuff that most of us work hard to get and deserve!!!!
try carbineer, it's even more broken then pistoleer =P
I dont see the need for the nerf. A common reason i heard in from reading the forum is that the FWG5 is too powerful. Now your avearge fwg isnt all that powerful, unless it's made from krayt and nym components. But you get the same result when you add those to any weapon. I can add +84 tissue to a DH17 carbine and with a good 30% dmg slice or power up it'll be like 500 ish max dmg. You can even do the same with Scout blasters. So a few lucky people in each server have uber FWG5, why punish everyone else.
I have noticed a disturbing trend in weapons, newb weapons are surprising better in some professions. For fencer they are better off with a brawler tier one weapon then thier Novice class weapn. Carbineers are better off with DH17 because of the way lower HAM cost, then using a laser carbine or an Elite. With this nerf, pistoleers will be better off using the scout blasters, a basic marksman tier 2 weapon 
Why the hell are newbie weapons the preferred weapons in this game?!!
