Thread: DEVs use Rifleman as an example to fix other professions
Agree with Barb 100%, It shoud be Pistoleers>Carbineers, Carbineers>Riflemen, and Riflemen>Pistoleers.
It should not be Pistoleers=Riflemen=Carbineers.
/agree
And in defining our role we are going to need to be toned down......as it stands now we are the best at just about everything ......even in melee defense, pistoleers have only 5 more melee defense than we do...what gives?
The fundemental problem is the fact that SOE complies with the demands of its players to change the professions before a fundamental defining of the professions has taken place......They are finally getting to this now for pete's sake......up until now it has been whoever cries the loudest gets changed. Oh and a very large number of rifleman cried about the 2.5x melee thing and we got it.....
By balance I have always meant that we should be good at some things and not good at others......Its just that I dont understand riflemen who do not want to make compromises with the other combat professions.
thanks
Yes in my above post I am agreeing with Barb that we need our roles defined....however it shouldnt be as dry as the stone paper scisors = rifle pistol carbine analogies
I like the Battlefield analogy or my own personal zerg terran protoss analogy all different but balanced...each with different roles...better at somethings than others....
I think somewhere along the line we got too caught up in the 1v1 duel balancing whe we should have been looking more at each professions role in the game.
