check it out. I dont know how much of it is true though. but it sounds like the speed calculations are being completely redone to slow weapons down. so does this mean that a master pistoleer, who only gets +74, is going to be gimped and even slower? or do you believ they are only going to slow carbines and rifles down, but keep pistoleer were it is? This doesnt hit me as hard, seeing as I have a +129 speed, but for pistoleers without the BH line, this could be very very bad.
I dont think the devs can put enough effort into just slowing rifles and carbnes. I think they will take the easy way out and just slow everything down. whats your thoughts?

i like the sound of all of it, myself. things that should have been implemented from the start.
pistols will be fast. don't worry. thats the plan, at least. EVERYTHING about pistoleer is getting revamped, so +74 is getting thrown out the window.

I am at the point where i just dropped some ranger so i could pick up the BE line to actually be more then fodder

Actually the Dev's at that panel (Dave White) said that Rifle is way to fast and that Pistoleerwill be the fastest ranged weapon to use. Thats what they said the plan was for the combat balance as far as the ranged weapons are to go. I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all come about. I never realized how much work they are puting into the combat balance until the panel discussions at fan fest. Let's just hope it all works lol.

the only thing i read that i didn't totally like was the movement restrictions
i'd love them, but i wish they were linked to armor instead of what weapon you were holding
other than that, everything was great
