.. And it was exactly what I expected it to be... with one exception

This round of questions is getting long in the tooth, so “it’s coming in the Combat Balance” is a busy answer, but it is the truth. One of the main parts of the Combat Balance is to examine all of the specials and make them fun and interesting. Beyond that, on a currently unknown timeline, Pistoleers and Fencer’s will be getting Duel Wield abilities and that’s uber-spice

Holy dual wield batman!

Right, he answered two of our questions in one go without knowing it, mwaha (allbeit one answer being the standard CB reference and the other telling us they don't know when dual wield will be out either), now, let's push to find out what the Devs see our role in combat as being, as that will shed some light on what we can expect from the CB as a whole, both for speed, accuracey and our specials!

Probably as long as it will take them to complain that they have to share Mandalorian armor with commandos, rangers and squad leaders

From the 19 questions thread.

Certs for Mandalorian armor will be: Bounty Hunter, Commando, Ranger and Squad Leader

As for us, we got told to wait (for the CB) and wait some more (for dual weild).

Actually as a BH, I think that the Mandolorian armor should be for any elite ranged class. But that's just me. I'm embarrassed by half of the BH you'll find on the forums. They're whiney brats.

I like how TH got bored/tired/whatever and just gave us a stupid non-answer. The long in the tooth thing, basically him saying, I'm too busy to really bother with your reply so sorry, try again. Then ranger or whatever was next has a few paragraphs and smuggler gets a nice big response (happy for them, don't get me wrong). Damnit TH, give us some lovin!

prolly about as long as it took the pistoleers to whine that they didn't get a cert for the Scatter pistol even though they have their own AP1 acid pistol.

Translation:

This round of questions is getting tiring so "it's coming in the Combat Balance" is all you're getting. We plan to fix your specials, like I've said a thousand times. Oh yeah, and don't forget about that Dual Wield carrot we've been dangling in front of your faces for a year.

Ah, TH. Thank you. You're telling us, once again, that we aren't important enough to the Devs to merit more than a 3-sentence-and-a-punch-in-the-face response to our problems.

as a side note, i really think they put so many professions in the game that they can't handle it with their current team. i'm HOPING the space expansion team will come back and work on Live after Jump to Lightspeed is released - instead of going off to work on anotherexpansion again. Double the Devs would SO help....i think....

We got what I expected ... the bag of magic beans. It'll all be magically fixed someday, but we can't tell you how.

Waste of time, I really don't know why TH bothers with answers like that. He found 19 different ways to say "It'll be better someday ... really ..."

Been there, heard that, for six months at least. Without detail, it's meaningless and not credible.

Yeesh so much negativity. I'd personally say that overall the questions offered alot of insight: Things are going to change a lot come patch 10.

Sure, our answer was pretty short, but I suspect that the reason was because our main question had already been answered in many of the previous questions.

The fact is, they can't tell us to much, because:

Anything they told us in regards to plans would be purely tenative, and likely to change (potentially ticking folks off prematurely.)

The changes being made for all combat professions are constantly changing themselves, and aren't really able to be reported on accurately right now

The news on the 'sand box' being devloped is also rather nice to know, as it means we'll be seeing the results of preperation for patch 10 testing within a week or two.

Believe me, I know what it's like to have many aspects of your profession broken (I was a former MC/MP , only a MP 0440 commando now though) so I know how alot of this seems vague and irritating. The fact of the matter is though, the combat rebalance is going to encompass the vast majority of fixes/changes across the board.

My only real question from all of this is if we'll see dual-weild as part of the combat rebalance.

Dammit, I wish TH would let me know the exact moment he was going to make those answers public so I could announce it here!

Yes, this is our answer for this week. The whole questionwith the answer was:

Many Pistoleers feel that their attacks are generic. Vanilla random HAM is a big issue. How do the developers intend to "spice up" the profession, in the near and distant future?
