And where--exactly--do Laser guns, flying spaceships, light sabers and Jedi fit into this whole "realism" thing???

If we get any kind of KD move we will be nerfed in the very next patch. A posture down move ok, but a KD will overpower us. We have ranged AOE dizzy, no KD. Carbine has Ranged AOE kd, but no dizzy. We are designed to work togather in teams.


And just to make a point about "realism" in a movie world: Anyone actually SEEN any stocks on any weapons in the Star Wars world? Any bayonets? The only rifle with a stock is the Jawa.


It is A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away. How weapons developed in our culture would not be the same as they developed in this fictional world. As someone pointed out, if this were "realistic" pistols would only be used if concealment of the weapon were critical, everyone in PvP would use rifles, there would be no melee classes with the possible exception of TK, the weapons would all be very different, there would be artillery and armored vehicles, AND IT WOULD NOT BE STAR WARS.


If you want a realistic combat game try Call of Duty. That is not what this game is, should be or will ever be.

1. A real sniper shot. Put restrictions on it. Make us take cover, and not be able to shoot for 30 seconds afterwards, but give us a real 1 shot 1 kill ability.




This will never happen in an MMORPG with PvP. People don't like being killed with zero chance to defend themselves. Look at the way people scream about Eyeshot now.

2. Rifle Butt. Rifles can be used for 2 things. Shooting, and knocking down. How often do you see people getting knocked down with the butt of a rifle as compared to pistol whipped.




Unlikely, now that we've just been made the 2nd most powerful solo PvE class.
