1. ALMOST ALL OF OUR SPECIALS ARE BROKEN OR USELESS.
I have had internal Quality Assurance (QA) look at your Master specials, Pistol Melee Defense 2, Body Shot 3, and the other specials you mentioned. They have noticed the problems you've reported to us, and we are fixing these specials as part of our upcoming Combat Balance. We know you have been waiting for fixes for quite some time. Short term fixes were supposed to have been in the mix in the last couple of publishes, but the reason they weren't was because the Dev team was switched around and the Dev who was in charge of combat is now working on the Space Expansion. We'll be sure to get everything fixed as part of the Combat Balance.
I'm not one to kick a dev while he's on the ground, but what the heck is up with this Combat Balance. The devs have agreed our specials are worthless yet over 2 months later, we dont even know when or if they will be fixed. Saying its part of the Combat Balance is crap. Why not give a real answer thats whats bothering me. Lately when something is wrong the devs say "Its part of the Combat Balance"......its losing its meaning after the 20th time. Give me numbers, something I can look forward to....hell lie to me and tell me were next in line for a fix in the next patch. AFterwards you can give me a new line like "The programer working on Pistoleer specials got hit by a car, since he never wrote anything down and kept everything in his head......we have to wait until he's out of the hospital". At least thats original lol.
Why is a time frame so secretive.......is it that far from now that they think people will quit? Its going to be 6 months from now and devswill still spout "Its part of the Combat Balance". As of now the more I read of devs responses, the more pessimistic I get.
As a 0/4/4/4 TK, here is my response to your responses:
/target devs
/knockdown/dizzy
/unarmedheadhit1
/deathblow
indeed, because as a master pistoleer it would look like this:
/stoppings
/stoppings
#dev takes out his ancient knife#
#you have been knocked down#
#you have been slain by 'evil n00b dev'#

I TOLD them they should have made our spherical space station out of the same magnetically shielded walls as the garbage compactor! -Sleksheea Apart from the art team and the landscaping/dungeon team, is any other dev working on anyhting game-related at all?

This thread is more than 3 months old, let it die already.
It's 3 months old because nothing has changed!
Please Devs- No new content!! It only creates something new to fix. I will happily suffer without something new in-lieu of something that works now.
I'm tired of being a master pistoleer with spendy, uber guns and getting picked off by anything tougher than a baby bunny...
Yep.
End of March, no pistoleer special is fixed. World of Warcraft is looming on the horizon. Get in gear, Dev Team!
