Pistoleer Archive

I risk being slightly insulting as i'm sure (or i'd hope...) the devs have thought of this, but...

What's the real reason pistoleers would like to use two pistols? Cause it looks friggin cool that's why =). I understand that the game doesn't currently have capacity for duel wielding, but that doesn't really stop you. You simply have a specific blaster "types" that you equip that "appear as" two pistols.

It would likely be an awful lot of work, and not something we'd see soon if ever. I don't actually expect to see it. You'd have to risk messing with skill trees, which I know I would likely be afraid too, as well as put it new animations etc...

I just think it'd be neat =).

I'd love to see that too, and it would give an edge to the pistoleer over the bounty hunter for pistols.. since the bounty can become almost as powerfull without being a Master Pistoleer..

Well you said the key words: lots of work. The animation for it is doubled as there is an actual delineation of hands. It's not mirrored. You do all your fighting with one hand, and everything else, essentially with the other. So you would have to DOUBLE the animations. Which is the problem to begin with.

Your wrong, the reason I want to is so I can fight better, not look cool. The looking cool is just gravy. =P

The real solution would be to allow 2 handed wielding of all pistols with the possible exception of DH17's because the are practically carbines (Can anyone give me a reason for that?). I think the should make speed penalties bonuses for "Handedness". Pistoleers can select wether they want to be left or right handed, or balance it out and be amby. Left and right handers could get good bonuses for speed and accuracy on their chosen hand and minor penalties to the same for the other hand. Ambies would be equal with both hands but the bonuses for handedness would be much less.

So what do we think of that idea? And I don't care how much work it would take, that is the Devs job, and I am sure they could do it as long as we the players want it and a patient enough with them. I would rather give them time to implement something like this rather than quick fix it with an aesthetic patch.
