So it is a bug nerf

opps we never meant this

So how are you going to nerf everyone on live wreck there guns, and make them very valuable? What are your other choices?

Well it does look like scatters and launchers will also be getting nerfed....Oh well, another blow to pistoleers...Next up the nerf cries will start on the scout

Not so...the scout only has one power supply. well, scatter and launcher. What other pistol had both? Republic Blaster?

So much whining here... man go be a carbineer or something... then you'll have reason to whine... laser carb is the best carbine weapon and its available in marksman carbine 3 which is absolutely ridiculous... The dx2 (while it may sort of suck) is way better than the elite carbine... Look at the HAM costs for carbines... and you whine about the FWG5. There is no BH only carbine. Just trying to put this into perspective for you people... the FWG5 is way overpowered and needs the nerf and pistoleer is one of the better professions in the game for actually (sort of) working and not getting nerfed hard.

If you don't like it go buy a few crates of the gun and save them...

i think soe screwed up when they put specials in bh and smuggler. i think bh should be tracking, gadgets, and some pvp mods, perhaps accuracy and speed with whatever weapon it is you use. same thing for smuggler. make the prerequisite for both a master elite combat profession. why cant we see a bh with a vk? why cant there be a smuggler with a carbine? in my opinion the way theyve decided to make smuggler and bounty hunter makes pvp in swg not varied enough. its always the same rogue/bh using the same specials with the same gun with very few exceptions.

Imo FWG 5 should fall below the DX2 indamage and spd since DX2 is exclusive to pistoleer and needed 4 PH to make. Would you rather they fix the range on pistol which is 50/50 at 64M range than fix the weapon itself ? Pistol has never intented tobe 50/50 at 64M and out damage rifle and carbine tho.

FWG5 at it current standing is way overpower for it class (novice box 4). This just merely a correction.

You do have a point there, but uh the problem with DX2's is the range modifiers, some brain surgeon working on the game decided that the DX2 should be best used as a club I.E. point blank range, which is realy not thought out to well, so untill that little thing is fixed the fwg5 will always be a better gun.

why cant we see a bh with a vk?

A BH can put on a VK anytime he wants to. There's nothing stopping this.

TH, if you are so concerned with the Correspondent system, why hasn't Samra gotten her Correspondent stuff yet?

Thunderheart told me he'd take care of that tomorrow, which is definitely good news.

By the way, thanks to Thunderheart for taking out the time to respond to this thread. While none of us are very excited about the news that pistols are nerfed, I appreciate the fact that Thunderheart responded to my PM and took out the time to come here and let us know what's going on. At least we know he's paying attention to our concerns.

I know that at this point, all of us are anxious to hear what the other pistols are that are getting nerfed. I'll be sure to pass that news along as soon as I find out.

**Waits anxiously...** lol


Truthfully, maybe they should "nerf" the DX2 as well. Im sure we, and the weaponsmiths, wouldn't mind losing a powerhandler or two from it.

i think theres more than one bug at work. i don't like the nerf as my best gun will now be week (fwg), my 2nd best still has a broken cert (republic),my 3rd is bugged (dx2) and the fourth and fifth are slow (sr combat) and weak (scoutie) in comparison.

yes the main oen is the krayt tissues being to powerful.

the other is the FWG is a projectile weapon,it shouldn'tneed a power handler? they are fixing the guns true design i believe. this leads to an arguement for the scatter and launcher to nerfed aswell seeing they are projectile weapons.

great work thanx, so much!

His response? He will respond to the FWG5 issue "At some point this week."

Hey there

The short version:

This pistol and three other guns were fixed. The fix was that they could have two power supplies before, depending on the way its crafted. There were different rules that were stacking the modifiers. Those are all the details I have time for atm. I know you need more of an explanation, but I have to stay focused on getting the Player Correspondent program up and running.

I will have more for you later this week...

That's it? That's all you have to say??? I hope you bring us some good news, like you are fixing our DX2 along with this NERFto keep us leveled with the other professions. Because if you take away our damage, and you leave Rifleman shooting as fast as they are, then Riflemen are overpowered and we will be increadibly underpowered.

If your so busy with the player correspondent program, then why is philosopher still with no access to the correspondent boards? that should have been first on your priority list so he can continue on the issue's posting, which by chance happens to be the same issue's that we have posted for the last 2 months and you have done NOTHING to fix, except continue nerfing us regardless of our problems and broken skills/specials.

Less talk, more action. I haven't seen one promise made to the pistoleer's being done yet, all I see are nerf's after Nerf's after nerf's. Not one patch has gone by where the pistoleer's wheren't nerfed in one way or another, from aiming to reduction in damage with Pistol Whip, to the FWG5, and all the crap we're received from you in the middle of it all. How about a fix for crying out loud before you continue swinging that god forsaken bat!
