Pistoleer Archive

I agree i have a krayted dl44( i did it because i wanted too and i had an extra peice of krayt) just because i wanted my master smuggler to be more star wars like. if they don't want to give us a dl44 revamp give us a master smuggelr only dl44a which is a quest schematic from a smuggler quest that you well have to use your skills to achieve.

my personel dl44 is this stats

speed 1.1

dmg 170-235

and great range mods, however because it lacks ap it is not good vs players or armored creatures.

my ideal dl44a would be

1.0 speed (since we get no smuggler pistol mods)

maybe 170-300 or something

with ap1 or gasp i know im gonna get flamed ap2

At this point Id say no more rare loot pistols. What we need are crafteble pistols which are either improvements or replacements of the already lame pistols in the game. Of course, Im alsoi totally against the idea of having loot weapons and armor that throw off combat balance also but it seems they want to go ahead and do it anyway.

a good argument, ive heard some about making the 44 a smugie only gun(with of course better stats) i use a power 5 as my general use gun, its generally useless for anything tougher than the occasional spice fiend, but i get to carry a useful version of the 44(i also have my own secret ideas that hans 44 was a power 5 in desguise anyway.... from what ive read on this miraculous combat balance, all our current weapons will have larger brackets for power, speed, ect, these dependent on the skill you have. therefore if your a mpiste youl have an inherentaly better 44(or whatever) than a novice. this could solve some of the problems we now face with the "noob" pistols. i for one think if they have 3 different versions of the 44(P5 included) they should be different, fun, and most importentaly, useful. this is especially necessary for the 44 and its ilk, as they are of the few pistols that can have astetic mods to make them actually look like the movie ones, thereby aiding in immersion, ect.

/agree

the DL-44 was one of the heaviest of pistols which is why Han used it. It was also illegal and was known for its ability to punch through armor (which is why the empire had banded it).

But I feel that while new pistols are always welcome, perhaps the developers should take a look back at the pistols that have been around since launch and leave much to be desired. Namely, the DL-44.
The devs want to make things more "Star Warsy" with the addition of new speeders, mandolorian armor, etc., and I believe an improved DL-44 would add to this immensely. This weapon is one of the most recognized from the films, right up there with lightsabers and the E-11s that the Stormies all carried.
I've been a pistoleer/smuggler since launch, and I always will be. It's a shame that, besides my Geonosian pistol, my usual weapon is a Republic Blaster. Why would old and outdated technology(from the Episode 1 era) be better than a newer blaster? Not to mention that Republic blasters are relatively lame looking(the prop was made from a grill lighter, seriously).
According to the unofficial Star Wars encyclopedia: "DL-44...A heavy blaster pistol built by Blas-Tech, the DL-44 was one of the most popular weapons BlasTech ever produced. While its design gave it a short range, the DL-44 was extremely powerful for a hand-held weapon." I think that you'd all agree that the DL-44 in it's current state is many things, but extremely powerful is NOT one of them. No AP and crappy damage.
But, my fellow gunslingers, the combat revamp is coming. And with it, it will bring rebalancing of all weapons. So /sign this petiton to let the devs know that we want our poor, weak DL-44 turned into what it should have been all along. A deadly weapon. Better damage range and some armor piercing is all I ask.

It would be cool if they just changed the whole DL-44 gun, and made it a basic gun, which has mediocre stats (kind of how it is now), but made it an easilly customizable weapon, like it should be. After the gun is made, it would be cool to go to a weaponsmith and have him be able to add things like AP(maybe at the cost of some speed), extra speed, extra damage, lower the HAM costs, better accuracy (perhaps only at specific ranges, which can be chosen). Not ALL of these things should be able to be done to the gun, but maybe a couple of them on a gun.

As a smuggler I wholeheartidly support a revamp of the DL-44 as it is the most iconic smuggler pistol in the SW universe.
