Yes, it is sad that we don't even have a low end kinetic rifle. As if a fourth energy rifle was necessary. However, I did read a post by one of the devs that stated that kinetic should be solely a melee thing; once again relying on interdependency or forcing you to have a melee profession paired with rifleman.


It's sad how pathetic this game has become since last July. Do the devs actually play this game and realize how little there is to do if you've been playing since day one? You'd think with another MMORPG under their belt that they would learn from their mistakes. However we are stuck with professions that suffer from monthly changes and cannot possibly achieve balance until the devs understand the game, which involves actually playing it.

Sorry, sometimes I just get upset about how great this game could be. And I think any creature/NPC that is completely 100% resistant to something is absolutely illogical.

If kenetic is only supposed to be melee only why does pistoleer have a kenetic pistol?

Now that's an excellent question, one that I cannot answer. I simply summarized this response from a dev that Klaw posted recently:

i think because pistoleers have melee attacks and have to be within 20 or so m to be effective.

I never said that I wanted to solo anything, let alone everything. My point is that even in a group, I am worthless as a combatant against an NPC or creature with 100% resistance to energy, stun, acid and cold, i.e. a Nightsister Spell Weaver. At that point I'm simply medical support, when I'd like to be able to fight also. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy being part of a group; shoot, that's about the only fun left in the game. However, no member of a group should be relegated to only medical support unless it is their choice. The game shouldn't force us to fall into the background, we should all be active participants.

I love how people one-star me, yet don't post a valid or logical reason why they disagree with my statements.

that doesnt make any sense and is a fallacious argument.


if you have a group of 5 atk a 2carbineer2 rifleusers and the only person that can do melee damage is the TK. the group comes up on a nightsister spellweaver which is immune to everything but kinetic the TK is soloing it...


the others cannot participate. likewise the same group comes up on a nightsister elder the TK cannot participate because it is 100% immune. hardly sounds like encouraging group play to me with members of the group having to sit and twiddle the thumbs while the others play...
