Here's one: JustG, Thunderheart, SWG-Runesabre, Rogue_5, Q-3PO, Pex, and Vass, combined, have made a total of 6 posts on our forums, yet J3STER still tells us to post our issues here and not on the GCW forums. Six... SIX! Lord knows they're busy, but that's complete BS once you take a look at how much they respond to other professions. I'd hate to get us into trouble, or get anyone banned, but we really need to make a stand. Combat Balance my arse. All CB is is a series of nerfs to make the game harder. A day later it'll be removed, just like the crafting nerf and the Nova troopers and everything else they've done lately, and then what? They've wasted months and months and put us through seemingly endless waiting for what? A huge series of nerfs?! Goodie, so the path to fixing Pistoleer is to nerf everyone else... no holster, no twisty moves, and probably not even dual wield. I'll be surprised if we get even two changes to our specials, and even those will end up being negative.
I hate to be so pessimistic, but we've been hanging onto a thread of hope for so long and now, in light of recent failures by the devs and lack of communication, I for one am losing my grip.
Something must be done.

oh that's just awful. They do seem to respond a LOT more on other boards.
Nobody likes us everybody hates us think I'll eat some worms....

I am hopeful to some extent that we, being one of the underpowered professions, will be given a boost. In comparison, I'm sure that many professions will be crying nerf ( see: swordsman and rifleman)

I said it before and I'll keep saying it: this game is one big beta test until the expansion comes out.

i think the rangers have only had like, 3 posts? yeah.....
hopefully all this 'sandbox' crap they've been talking about will mean the CB will work the first time around.

It is time all classes realize that SWG is becoming Jedi Wars. The devs only care about the Jedi class and not any other. So either become a whiny Jedi demanding that you should by the Gods of SWG, ask for no HAM composite armor cloaks, no perma death, whatever the case may be. Look at the recent "accidental" bugs with BH jedi missions. Jedis complained about being hunted and then the terminals mysteriously stoped working. Over a week went by and they still have not corrected the problem. Now the Devs claim they can't seem to figure it out. So don't hold your breath as pistoleers wondering why we get no love. Just be thankful the 12 year old Jedi population is not screaming about us too or we could have a mysterious bug effect us as well.

jedi: bh/pistoleers are too strong!
bh: don't look at us, we're almost as whiny asjedi are!
pistoleer: do your worst, SOE.
update notes: pistoleer titles changed

Combat balance is a necessity, and I don't believe that the Devs visiting this forum has anything to do with our profession as a whole... our profession is the way it is because the system has worked in a land without super armor. I think that combat balance can be solved by redesigning the armor system possibly. However, I don't think our protests will make the Devs respond any sooner than what they do... that's just what I'm gathering, I could be a mile off.

/agree. Composite is probably one of the single biggest things to totally ruin combat balance in the first place, with those insanely high quality doctor buffs also making things worse.

Way, way too soon to complain about the combat rebalance. If you want the development team to take us seriously, our concerns and desires alike, complaining about a change to the combat system about which we know next to nothing, is counter productive. Yes, we need some love. Badly. Before we all assume that this upcoming change will be nothing but bad news, let's all try and keep an open mind. Does anyone disagree with me on the following point? - The combat system does not work and is not a satisfying experience for the vast majority of professions as it now stands. At the moment, if you are not a class that can target the mind and do huge amounts of damage quickly to that pool, yousoon find yourself outclassed by those that can. If you believe everything is just fine, odds are, you are not into pistols. Things are not just fine the way they are. They would still be off if we had twice the damage output. The whole system is broken, and the developers are owning up to that fact.I don't know if I will like the rebalance. If I don't like the rebalance, I will likely find another use for 15 bucks a month. However, I am reserving any form of judgement on that rebalance until I have had the chance to usethe new systemfor at least a week. It's understandable to want to vent a little. But try and keep an open mind. If it's bad, then that's an issue for after the fact. No need to stress over things have yet to happen, and may never occur.

Betauntil theexpansion comes out? Heck, I'd bet the expansion will just be the beta for whatever's next in the SOE hopper.

Look at it this way. Once upon a time this WAS the overpowered profession.
Many professions still do not even know what direction overpowered is in yet.
