I have been very active in my servers community establishing some of the first major player created pvp events involving hundreads of people and have lead the imperial forces on many occasions.
Please feel free to get in contat with me via forum PM's or "Xadius" on the sunrunner server.
Thank you for your time.
Vender: Rielig Steppes Mall, Dantooine* Whether you have mastered the profession
* Past conduct in the community
* Past activity on TC
* Quality of application post
Honestly I don't think that I have posted in this forum before. I usually try to stay away from profession boards in general because a lot of the people who visit come to whine then they leave.
I have mastered pistoleer once on live, but I have always had some pistoleer in me. I have been playing live since launch and I picked up my pistol 1 skill the first day and I have never dropped to anything lower than 0004 pistoleer, and that was only during my holo grinding. I played on Ahazi but now I play on TC (As of early in the summer). Most of the community knows me there, as I am the mayor of a town and a regular in the TCPA chat channel. Currently the only pistol skills I have there are 0144 pistoleer, but all my other skills on that character are pistol related things (BH and smuggler and commando). I would master pistoleer again, but at this place in time that only makes my template weaker in my opinion (Hopefully we can change that. My current template is 0144 Pistoleer, 0040 Smuggler, 0040 BH, 0040 commando, and novice medic incase you were wondering.
Most of my posting is done on the Ahazi boards and I drop a line in the GCW boards every once in a while.
On Test I have submitted my fair share of bug reports, and they are not the kind where I just type /bug and say "Hey pistolmeleedefense2 doesn't work!!" Then stop. All my bug reports are detailed and will help the devs fix problems as soon as possible. As a person who does computer tech support as a side job I know how more information can only speed things up when it comes to fixing things.
So there I am, tell me if I am worthy or not
- Date of first Pistoleer post (post history tells all) = Approx. 1 year ago
- Whether you have mastered the profession = yes, 3 times
- Past cunductivity in the community = Well I come every day while having my coffee. I read alot, but I rarelly post unless I feel compeled to do so. Most of my posts are in fact on Pistoleer, BH, and about the GCW.
- Past activity on TC = Well I have a character, and when new stuff comes out I play on it, but most of my friends are on Ahazi, so am not very active there.
- Quality of application post = I assume this one is up to you
Wehn I started the game I mastered Artisan and Architect, and had picked up pistols as a side arm to help with missions for paying maintence, and for being safe while checking my harvesters After the crafting got boring, I decided I liked pistols, and picked up Chreature Handling to go with it, with medic skills left over. Mastered both. Then I started getting into the GCW and didnt like how CH pets worked in PvP. I like pistols but saw I couldnt be master Pistoleer and have BH pistols, so I broke up my master Pistoleer and kept what I could, while still having BH pistols 4 and some medic skills ( mastering scout and marksmen as well ). After awile the medic skills became obsolete, so I dropped them in favour of more Pistoleer skills.
Holo grind began : so I had to drop pistoleer. Mastered Medic, combat medic, doctor, and riflemen, when my holo said to do pikemen I said heck with it. Started to work back to what I was when the announced changes to the Bounty Hunter Reqs. went through. So I mastered pistoleer with BH pistols 4 and novice commando ( for the launcher pistol cert ) and smuggler Dirty fighting 4, making me the ultimate pistol users! . I have been playing this way since then up untill now when FS skills came out with Pub. 10. Still wanting to work on my Jedi for SOMEDAY ( lol ), I will now soon be dropping master pistoleer again, but only to have points to spend on the accuracy/speed trees in FS to meet the 6 branch req. I have already dropped novice commando, and will need to drop pistoleer accuracy branch to have enough free points to unlock.
As you can see I love pistols, and would love to try out any new changes to the way they are handled in game and have my feedback COUNT.
P.S =
I forgot to mention, as unfair as it may seem to others here, I have the ability currentlly to play SWG about 8 - 9 hours a day or more if I so wish to do so.
(no Im not a kid out of school, unemployed, etc etc. I suffer from a severe case of Bi-polar disorder, AND I take care of my 2 year old little girl all day long )

- I have been a pistoleer since july last year-giving me extensive experience with the profession
- I complain aboutpistoleer issuesall the time... wouldn't mind the chance to have my criticisms challenged
- Submit bug reports frequently... i.e. mindful of game play issues
- Concerned about pistoleer as a stand alone profession, not just as an addition to other classes and am aware of issues that could arrisedue to class combinations(see numerous other posts.. hehe)
- I feel that my criticisms are thought out, not merely angry ranting (most of the time)

So when are your going to decide who gets to test pistoleer for cb?
biwan:The pistoleer class is definitely my favorite profession among the many I have tried and/or mastered. There is just something about the style and role-play aspect that appeals to me. I must also admit the challenge is entertaining as well; being the underdog and yet still able to achieve victory over your foes is rather compelling.
I have been a master pistoleer for several months now and have been playing SWG for over a year at this point. I consider myself well versed with the strengths and weaknesses of our class as well as combat in general. I have played and mastered several ranged and melee classes and understand the balance between them. I consider myself thorough, observant and capable of communicating my findings and experiences. I read the forums frequently and comment when I feel something needs to be said. My gaming experience in general also extends back several years, including almost 4 years playing other mmorpgs like EQ, AO, and UO.(Gotta love the alphabet soup of the internet, eh?).
Well, so much for this being brief. I hope it still gets through this time. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at [edited out for privacy] or via the forums. I have a pretty fair amount of free time during the day and on the weekends for testing and playing.

Hey
I'm guessing you've had a few of these; well here's another . Incase you've yet to pick your people, I'd like to register a very big interest in helping out on the sandbox server. Qualifications wise, I've helped out on the Test Center from time to time, I've been pistoleer since launch and have remained master pistoleer despite the calling of other more 'working' professions. I have a passion for Pistols in Star Wars and really do want to see their potential fully realised.
I realise the amount of time this is likely to take up and I'm deffinitely up for this, having missed my chance at beta 2 because of a credit card cockup, I'm eager to rectify that and help make this game change for the better.
Well, that's me selling myself, I'll leave you alone now

Well i just tried writing this to you and had an error so i dont think it went through heh.. so ill rewrite it.
I dont know if you have already selected the Pistoleer sandbox testers, if not i would like to apply.
I have been a SWG community member since it was called "Starwars Online" heh no joke
I started the game as a rifleman over a year ago (day 1) I have since mastered pistoleer twice. I am currently a Master Pistoleer MBH.
I am knowledgable of pistoleers strenghts, and our numerous weak points. I dont post much on the pistol forums, but i read them daily.
I was in Beta, so i have testing experience. I would love the chance to help out the pistoleer profession, If you want to talk or ask me any questions please PM me, thanks for your time.
