OMG this game has been out HOW LONG? And half the pistoleer specials are STILL BROKEN?!? I'm seriously considering dropping this pathetic class and going rifleman... same speed 4x the damage... with working specials too.
I TOLD them they should have made our spherical space station out of the same magnetically shielded walls as the garbage compactor! -Sleksheea

We are all patiently awaiting TH's reply to our newest list of questions which, like every list before it, includes the " when will our specials work?" question.
The sad part is that our specials are actually worse that when this game was released. Disarm2 used to be a godly AOE kd. It was removed as it was deemed too powerful. I can understand that bit they replaced it with NOTHING! Just removed it and left a gaping hole.
The closest thing we've ever had to an answer about our specials was posted 6 weeks ago in response to our Top 5 issues list. The following is lifted from that thread.
1. ALMOST ALL OF OUR SPECIALS ARE BROKEN OR USELESS.
I have had internal Quality Assurance (QA) look at your Master specials, Pistol Melee Defense 2, Body Shot 3, and the other specials you mentioned. They have noticed the problems you've reported to us, and we are fixing these specials as part of our upcoming Combat Balance. We know you have been waiting for fixes for quite some time. Short term fixes were supposed to have been in the mix in the last couple of publishes, but the reason they weren't was because the Dev team was switched around and the Dev who was in charge of combat is now working on the Space Expansion. We'll be sure to get everything fixed as part of the Combat Balance.
Ahh yes, another referance to the Mythical Combat Balance Pass. Considering that in the current round table threads TH states they are just entering the hard part of the Balance pass, the balance part, it could be a while. 6 weeks ago they had pinned all their hopes on this balance and are just now starting on the balance part of it? I'm figgerin that sometime after the 4th patch on the space expansion we might see some results.
