Pistoleer Archive

Wow guys, i have not been on my account since 8 months, and i still pay for it, i think i love swg more than jesus......am i going ot hell?

*looks around* Is...is it just me or are there a ton of other posts concerning dual pistols?

And yes...it is much to ask. The DEVS have to figure out a way for theTrandoshans with big clumsy hands to be able to hold one gun in each hand.

Take the blue pill,Ô
Play SWG, never dual-wield your pistols and believe whatever you want to believe.
Take the red pill,Ô
Play MxO, and I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

SWG was never the game I wanted it to be, even before the NGE. All the NGE did is take away what gameplay SWG actually did have.

see what duel pistols get you

Who else wants to get flamed?

What is up with people on this post being so mean toward the guy? The ability to have 2 pistols would rule and you guys know it. Whatever requirements the dev's make for 2 pistols, i'm gona do for sure as i'm sure you other master pistoleers would do the same so give the guy a break.

Personally, I don't think BH's or any other profession should be able to wield 2 blasters without some sort of penalty to damage andaccuracy, maybe even range and specials, or better yet can't use them at all. They are going to be reduced anyway, but if your not a master pistoleer then you should take a bigger hit in these areas. So if youra BH wanting to use duel pistols, your damage, accuracy and maybe a bit of speed is halved and you can't use certain specialssimply because your not a master pistoleer and trying to use duel pistols. This is supposed to be an advantage for master pistoleers not every guy who wants to have duel pistols because he thinks they are cool. so Jango used 2 blasters (actually I can't recall that, but I guess I was paying more attention to the one shot kill and the jedi ), using 2 blasters doesn't make him a master pistoleer, Just like luke, han, leia and anyone else in the movie wasn't a master pistoleer just because they used a pistol. Now I can see if Master pistoleer was a prerequisite to getting BH, but it's not. you only need master marksman to get BH, thus that means BH's are master marksman (meaning they are sharp shooters with pistols and can be very dangerous and accuratewith them but a master pistoleer is even better than them with pistols). Basically, I'm saying that everything that pistoleers get should not benefit other professions just because they use pistols.....This is part of what makes pistoleer just a dabbling profession and we are looked at as a waste of skill points if we don't have another elite profession to go with pistoleer. Pure pistoleers are not viewed as a threat to anyone in PVP because of the fact that BH's and smugglers can dabble in pistoleer, get the same specials, have more speed (BH) and do more damage because their specials are not broken.

When I think about KOTOR, they have the ability to have duel pistols and swords but at a cost to damage and accuracy.....SWG should do the same with the exception of master pistoleers who should get no penalty at all. I believe a master would be just as good with 2 pistols as he would be with 1, so therefore even if he takes a hit somewhere, it shouldn't be a very major.

Dabbling is cool to a certain extent, but where do the devs draw the line. They have to do something to make sure that every little thing that one profession has can't benefit someone who dabbles which eventually makes them much stronger than those who don't or can't due to skill point usage.

Just put the certification at master pistoleer and unlike being able to use a pistol even though you don't have the certification, You shouldn't be able to equip 2 pistols without the duel pistolcertification.Basically, the certification would give you an ability to do something that other professions can't do.Just likeevery profession has something at their master title that you simply just can't dabble in....you have to master the whole profession. This would eliminate everyone in the galaxy walking around wielding 2 pistols at the cost of a little damage or accuracy reduction. Putting the certification anywhere in the pistol tree besides master (that allows dabbling)will only create problems with pistoleers complaining about BH's running around doing more damage and being faster than pistoleers with duel pistols.

Oh, I almost forgot about commandos.....the laucher pistol can use all pistoleer specials right....so I assume it is technically a pistol and therefore Commandos running around with duel launchers with all the damage they do with 1.....ah man....that would be sick and 95% of combat professions would be commandos.....see a problem here. I have faith that the devs won't screw this one up....it's simply to clear how allowing any pistol user to have duel pistols would screw up combat and most peoples fun.

I really DON'T want lots of people wielding dual pistols. Infact, I'd rather there not be dual pistols at all, but if it does get implemented, I want it done right. The cert should be at Master Pistoleer only. Anything lower means that a lot more people could get it, not just a committed pistol user. Better yet, have the certification be questable. Master Pistoleers can go on a quest and when they complete it they will get to learn how to wield dual pistols. That would definitely prevent ten thousand newbs running around with two guns. I say, have it be a quest at Master Pistoleer with some lowered accuracy. At the very least, put it at the top of one of the pistol lines, have it be questable and have MUCH lower accuracy, until Master Pistoleer, when the penalty lessens.
