"And If me coming to these boards to read on the 8/1 reports that is scheduled a hypocrite fine."

I'd respond if that grammar was remotely decipherable.

I see the only retort you have is to critque my grammer.. Are you not going to address the hypocricy you displayed by posting trash on the bounty hunter boards?

lol you're owned Melt. *hands you a dictionary*

Here let me refresh your memory.

Take a look. I believe you are on our boards causing trouble..

Melt, my dimwitted friend. I didn't forget I posted there. =)

Congratulations I guess. You need some kind of victory today or something to feel good about. Hooray for you!

You didn't forget you posted there. But made comments such as these:

I like all the BH's that come to a pistoleer board and talk about the trolls. The irony is awesome

and

Yes I do. It makes you a hypocrite. =) ,,

So who's the hypocrite now?

*wades through the flames*

We should keep the pistoleer forum focused on pistoleers, not bounty hunters. Granted, there are some questions about why we have a "true pistol master" being a combo profession, but that's something we can certainly talk about with asking for changes to bounty hunters, especially since no one that I know really understands all the issues.

vGeist,

I hate to break it to you, but at master pistoleer you get a superior version of underhand shot (probably less damage but AOE). That's one reason calling nerfs is risky....nerfs are like grenades, the havea blast radius. My suggestion is wait until mastery, then group with some BH's and see how you compare...after defense and a few specials are fixed, and after you start working on your 2nd or 3rd master (or a mix), you might find BHs not so offensive (take that either way!

-----------

I did see a mention from Zhekk that suggested some changes to BH that aren't nerfs in any way, and might help the issue (make BH lines like LLC ...that work though...and move some certs up to avoid dual profession taking all advantages). That's what I like to hear..good inputs! If we could suggest changing the name of pistols to something else, we would

I’m fairly certain I’ll end up getting flamed for this post. Let me start out by asking you not to waist your time. It’s certainly not going to bother sweating anything anyone says to or about me on a message board based around a video game set in a sci-fi/fantasy universe.

Allow me to start by giving you a bases of my character, so no one screams that I’m a bounty hunter. I’m currently working on achieving Novice Pistoleer, I MIGHT work on the pistol branch of the BH skill tree…depending on how froggy I’m feeling after pistoleer And, most importantly, I love damned near every aspect of this game.

But I think I’ve found the single largest thing that does bothers me, and oddly enough it doesn’t really stem from game play, server issues, or the fact that my computer isn’t fast enough to run the game as efficiently as I might like.

It’s the apparent lack of respect my fellow players seem to have for one another.

I honestly considered putting in my two cents on the argument (as I said above, I’m working towards pistoleer), but what’s the point? Anyone in the argument is adamant, and wouldn’t listen to anything I had to say with an open mind anyway. I won’t waste my time on that.

Maybe I’m just a bit frustrated. Why is everyone slamming one another? Okay, the guy got beaten by a BH, and he thinks that ability is too powerful. The BH’s think it’s JUST right, which is understandable, they would best know what suits their class, and honestly, with all their requirements (they are the only Elite class I can think of that’s required to master two full starting professions), they should probably be combat gods (short of Jedi…yep, I’m a fan boy). Should they be better at a pistol or a carbine than the respective master classes for that weapon? Probably not.

Should they be, in general, one of the toughest classes? Yes. You don’t become good enough to hunt people through a galaxy by being a one-trick pony. And anyone who works on NOTHING BUT PISTOLS (for those of you who are going to scream at me saying this) is, simply, a one trick pony.

But back to my reasoning, because I’m getting far from my topic, as off as it may seem. This is a discussion forum…it’s not meant to insult one another to childishly call people names, to insult someone else’s ideas. Because, in the end, it’s stupid. It’s game. It’s the internet. Chances are, you’ll never meet any of these people in real life.

Try being a little more constructive. No, I’m not telling you what to do, I’m not trying to dictate your life…but c’mon, what’s the point of it? I mean, you can all sit here and ‘scream’ about how much more powerful one thing is over another all day, until you’re fingers bleed and your keyboard is pounded into dust. For what? Does it make you feel better? Good, get it off your chest if that’s the case, it’s certainly safer than some options.

When you think something is overpowered…tell the developers, tell the people in charge, give them a REASON why you think it is. Getting capped in one shot isn’t a reason, as frustrating as it is. Personally, I don’t play in PVP…at least, I haven’t had the chance to. Still, I hardly think that PC BH is any tougher than half the NPCs out there running around. I’ve yet to see a red con mob with a HAM smaller than any Stat Migrationed PC out there. At least, not by the point I’m at.

One-shot kills do seem to suck, yes indeed.

And BH supporters…just because someone doesn’t like your class, and thinks it’s overpowered does NOT give you the right to call him immature, childish, and everything else I’ve seen here. It’s his opinion. It’s his right. It’s his privilege.

Deal with it.

If you want to change his mind, and the minds of everyone else, don’t scream at them, don’t insult them, give points. The one about the power of the BH missions? That was a good one…I never knew the targets were so powerful. Then again…I’m not a Bounty Hunter.

The point of this? Well, if that’s not obvious by now, nothing I can say at this point will make any difference.

Personally? I don’t think I’ve once screamed that something should be nerfed. Sure, I have my opinions on things, things I would like to see a bit more balanced, but I remember a couple of important things. A) It’s game. B) Despite its release, it’s still a work in progress. Every member of the development staff, and all the wonderful Beta testers could not hope to find and address every possible problem, conflict, and issue that might arise once literally THOUSANDS of people are playing the game. C) It’s supposed to be fun.

I look forward to seeing all of you in the game.

How can you even compared underhand shot to unarmed? I've got both carbine 4 and pistol 4 in BH and I ONLY use unarmed in pistoleer. For 19 action I can keep something down probably until the next time Lowca comes down for emergenct maintenence. For 77 health I can keep something down for a couple of minutes. And if you're using a knockdown for any other reason then for keeping something from attacking you you probably shouldn't have access to it in the first place.

I'm actually doing both Pistoleer and BH skills at the same time to have more offensive power.

I really don't see why Pistoleers should have more offensive than a Bounty Hunter, when they can easily become a Creature Handler/MAster Doctor/Combat Medic too. Pistoleers are not pure offense unless they are both Bounty Hunter(pistol line) and Master Pistoleer(like me).

Bah

trying being constructive instead of whinging.

disarmshot2.. this in my opinion is the worst knockdown shot in the game.. You can take out a whole raiding party on our with this skill...

People that make these posts are... are.. god i'm just sick of saying this...

My Body Shot 2 + Health Shot 2 owned countless Imperial bounty hunters. Oh, not to mention panic shot, it's absolute money.

In the event that they happened to incap me, I wouldpistol whip them so bad they have no chance to retaliate.
