Pistoleer Archive

I'm not here to answer questions about what went on over on the rifleman board cause frankly it doesnt matter. I doubt no matter how hard I try, I could convince you of anything else anyway. So the fact of the matter is the devs saw that there was a problem with the FWG5 and corrected it.

Now, I want to ask you how many threads here have been boasting how good their respective FWG5 is in the last few weeks/month. I see them all the time. If there was a problem with the weapon and it was doing too much damage in the devs eyes, not only have you been posting it everywhere on these boards, but you have been bragging about them. Even if it was the rifleman thread that caught the devs eye, it was more than likely this board with people showing multiple examples that put the nail in the coffin. Blame riflemen if you want, but sometimes you need to look in the mirror.

IMHO it doesn't matter how it was brought to the attention of the Devs. Even though we pistoleers are badly in need of better weapons for our profession (among other issues), I have to agree the krayt pistols were an obvious mistake. I'm glad they are fixing it.

Before I get flamed by my fellow pistoleers for saying that, please remember that we will be getting more weapons in time. The devs have made no secret of that. I'd rather see the problem fixed right, than through a mistake.

Not to be the ass, but the devs also said they were fixing bugs (chat is still going down almost every nightand other bugs i have seen since beta).

They are also fixing DE's. Well 2 months later all we have is a list which really (in my eyes and the eyes of some DE's does nothing)

Sorry if I do not feel your enthusiasum. Not flaming I understand your point just dont feel like it will ever change. They nerf first, then nerf again , and then maybe look at a bug or too, and then nerf again. FIX BROKEN CLASSES AND BUGS FIRST THEN BALANCE

Nurian, your a fellow pistoleer so I will not flame you, rather, I'll ask you a question. How many months has it been since we have posted our issues? The specials that don't work? The specials that should be BETTER then marksman special but are in fact WORSE? The promises we have received for fixesand more weapons? The promises for seeing our delay lowered and rifleman's raised? How many months has this been going on? Once you answer that question, answer me which of these have they fixed in all of those months? And don't tell me fan shot was a fix, cause we never asked for that, that move should have gone to multitarget shot at master mark! What have they fixed? They haven't touched us because they are only interested in the BH and Commando professions, why do you think they are the God's of the game right now?

You're the one making a mistake. They're not nerfing Krayt pistols. They're just nerfing one kind of Krayt pistol ... Krayt Scatter Pistols will still be around and will be as powerful as ever, and Pistoleers will just switch to Krayt Scout Blasters. This selective nerf is absurd. If they're going to nerf Krayt tissues, then just nerf the tissues themselves ... otherwise nerf all weapons, not just the FWG5.

Getting the FWG5 nerfed doesn't effect BH Pistol types like me -- it only affects pure pistoleers who use the FWG5 as their bread-and-butter weapon. After the nerf, they will have to use Scout Blasters, because the DX2 is still a piece of crap.

Oh man, I just read the topic of this thing. Good god, it make no sense at all. Origianlly I was going to put "Why do you think reifleman got the FWG5 nerfed," but meant to change it to "Why do u blame Riflemen for the FWG5 nerf." But **edit**, this thing maskes no sense at all...rofl

The thing that suprised me was that they even read the rifleman forum

The post most people are reffering to was posted on the Discussion forums by me.

Every month a new pack of newbies thinks they know everything. Blah blah blah. Of course we read the rifleman forum. We have to keep an eye out for you guys spreading misinformation!

All kidding aside, please see the happenings of about a month and a half...perhaps two months ago for the history of aggression between riflemen and pistoleers (I know oaktree knows.) In my opinion its a horrible waste of energy we could be leveling at the DEVS!

Yeah, the big difference was that we kept that thing pretty civil.

Currently I am dabbling in BH and Pistoleer trying to make up my mind which I want to take. I see many rewards for dabbling a little in each but fail to see a compelling reason to master either. It seems this game (through decisions like this) rewards dabblers. This selective nerf is a very bad idea.
