Thread: MY problem with the BH situation.. /don flameproof trousers
now this has probarbly been said before but search wont work today for me and I havent said it before and i feel like i need to.... i hope the correspondent is watching ![]()
so here goes, my issue with the BH isnt the moves they get, i think they get some great ones but they are more than welcome to them, i played a BH in beta and they NEED them to be able to take out thier marks.
nor is my issue the oft repeated "they get it in one branch" becuase if you look at the overall skill points needed to get thier skills i think there's balance in the situation.
my issue, from every standpoint you look at it is this - the scatter pistol cert.
the scatter pistol is a deeply good weapon if made well. easily a rival for our supposed elite dx2, now from a game mechanics point of view we might be here to argue that the solution to this is to improve the dx2, which would be a step in the right direction. BUT my contention is that the BH shoult NOT have exclusive acess to one of the better pistols in the game.
now, i dont want to take the cert off them, or effect them in any way, but it seems ludicrous that the pistoleer doesnt have acess to a pistol.
so the counter argument is "BH needs a signature weapon" okay, if thats so why isnt itsomething like a "light Dx2"?
stay with me here, the light lightening cannon is a less powerful version of a commando weapon that is only usable by BH providing them with a sigature weapon that dosent step on anyones toes, if you go commando, you get the same gun but better.
if your a carabineer theres no issue at all, BH dosent get a signature carbine, wich is odd if you think about Boba...
i hope i havent rambled to much and i hope this makes sense. i really dont want any harm to befall the BH, but i would like to use a weapon i'm really, if you stop to think about it, supposed to be able to use.
carbineer - acess to ALL the same weapons that a BH has
Commando - (Hvy weap guy) acess to BETTER weapons in his class than BH
Rifleman - acess to ALL the same weapons BH has
Psitoleer - Denied acess to a darn good pistol that BH has exclusive domain over.
How does that work?
i submit to the devs and the community that the real problem with the percieved imbalance of BH over pistoleer isnt thier moves (eye shot not withstanding, and i think they deserve that) but thier command of this fine weapon.
okay i'm done
