Pistoleer Archive

• no, this isn't preparatory to a nerf, unless we find that there is in fact some major exploit. We don't tend to think that it's a scenario like that, because there has not been a rise in Master Pistoleers--just a rise in Novice Pistoleers. If there were a huge exploit, you'd expect people to have raced up the pistol skills and gotten Master just because it was easy to do so.

Raph - point blank you blew sunshine up our arses and we foolishly belived you.

And on top of that he didn't even drop a clue as to when we are getting those nice twirly moves we so badly need now... I mean.. A Master Gunfighter with NO TWIRLY MOVES!?!

Um... just wanted to lighten the mood... I'll go back to my corner now.

lol. Look I think we CAN accept that Disarm2 wasnt supposed and doesnt anymore have a KD. But... they just took that away and didnt do anything... see without the KD Disarm 2 is worthless it does NOTHING...

And every other skill is broken minus Fanshot... pistol whip 1 is basically good once just to get a head start at escaping (Good news is all KDs have a 30 sec. timer and you CANT stack, as in Pistol whip, Low Blow, Supress....) And then they NERF Pistolwhip 2!!!

rofl. now THAT is hilarious admit it. No one USES this... it has no KD, slightly more powerful but the outrageous cost is RAISED? Lol this PROVES the devs are clueless... its either a mistake or they are idiots... why not get rid of PW2... the fraction of people who DID use it wont anymore. Lol devs come on here...

See I think if the Devs "nerf" or attempt to "fix" a profession DO IT ALL... dont nerf and run away and fix this Dodge which works... actually it DOESNT... it doesnt do anything its pointless it may has well never been touched. And State defenses? Well no one seems to realize this is fixed at least it is supposed to be.

But why not go the whole 9 yards and fix everything? God devs come on... you dont listen to jaegen or anyone.

I didnt even get Sunshine..

Muahahhahahhahhahhahahahahhahahaha

Actually very few of us "foolishly" believed him. I believe the vast majority of posters on his thread knew he was FOS. The only sickening thing is he was a like cat playing with his food.

We are nerfed and F'd. But don't worry, another class will get it next patch, then another, then another. The name of the game is not to "fix" but to "Nerf Equally".

I have noticed some commandos have been coming in here to say ha ha etc etc, welcome to the club, whatever. Anyway, Commando's I supported you, and am glad to see that your starting to get fixed. We don't all (and actually few here do) cry nerf. We do spend alot of time crying fix. So flame with caution.

"It seems as though when we changed the skill box names that this had an unforseen effect on the skills contained within. Everything we program is tied to something else so we can't even do text changes, sorry"

LOL

Why does everyone say that disarm 2 was not supposed to be a KD? I have read that over (20) times now. From what I have heard, it always has been. It clearly states that it is an AOE KD in the OFFICIAL STRATEGY GUIDE. Are you gonna tell me that nobody from SOE knew it was a KD until last week?

Hey bunny, I agree. But check out Holo's thread on this board. That should answer your question. Apparently the Dev's were unaware that pistoleer was a proffession in the game until 3 days ago when "someone" noticed there were an awful lot of us running around. Of course we had to be stopped.

I honestley haven't been angry at this game or the people running it and that says alot since I survived launch. This is the official first time I would like to wring a Dev's neck. I have tried to be level headed in the past. I think I am just too annoyed to be mature at this point. =P

i got a question, i admit im a BH but i try not to put down pistoleers ever, what exactly did this patch do to you guys other then the knockdown nerf(i really dont know)

More to the fact they took away only really good skill from the line.. but have not fixed things that have been broken forever.

they SAID defense has been fixed, but who really knows without testing it ourselves

Yeah, just like they fixed the dozen entries in there from previous patches. If these things are so fixed why do they keep reocuring in the patch notes? Typos? Naw we all know, it's just smoke.

I'm still waiting on my loot! (Which I have yet to see, I bet it's related to their crappy Database not being able to handle the added items associated with giving loot)

Sure it's fixed this time... for reals!!! Ja right.
