I'm scared about these changes because hell I like the profession how it is.

Well correct me if I'm wrong but isn't about half of this top5 the same as the last top 5? Only concealshot is fixed (yay) but then that was truly a game bug. In fact the mob warping is a game bug as well and that is on our top 5 again and hasn't even been mentioned...

Besides, yes they are revamping combat to better everything or somesuch but isn't redoing a basic system of the game that touches almost every remote corner of the game itself a beta 2 choice? Don't get me wrong I want there to be a uniqueness to the different professions besides which gun is firing every second (and what shot is being fired) but isn't it just a tad bit late for it? Especially considering the fact that there are still a good number of bugs in the game. Fix the current game then decide to destroy an integral part of it. Oh well at least we have some new content even if it is getting nerfed.

I am not saying it's your fault.

But I am saying, that so far the whole correspondant / top 5 issues / Thunderheart will make the world a better place programms have been a big dissapointment. It's been a stalling tactic. It's been lies and broken promises and not giving us anything so far.

I have lost faith in this program, in Thunderheart, and in a way in you (though you are probably not at fault here).

You may have done a good job, but it seems you have done a pointless job. We don't even have answers, let alone any fixes. Why did we waste our time here? Why are we paying money again?

I am disgusted by all this. You may ignore this as a random pointless rant, but I am so pissed I had to tell someone. And since my girlfriend does not care too much, I thought I'd post here, knowing that things posted on these boards will be pointless anyway.

...it's a good thing you're not a pikeman..

I can predict the future.

/Looks into crystal ball

I see the dev's will take a long time developing the new system, during these long times we will know nothing. I see the next updates about the combat system if any will come from TH directly. I see once the new system is implemented it will take months to get it functioning. I see pain, terrrible pain, suffering, death I fear, something horrible will happen to the sharpshooter profession.(The only profession they got right and is 100% enjoyable to play)

Yeah, if they decide that they don't care about our top 5 issues with the argument to "write a new combat system anyway", that's fine (well, it's not, but what can we do?). But then they should at least tell us. I can accept a kick in the butt with a "Ha ha!" being told that nothing will change for the next month. But I can not accept being promised results and answers again and again that never come.

I think they are going for something they can manage better. The current system is not stable and has many holes for errors. I assume the new system will be an upgrade rather than a nerf.

Oh, I'm counting on that. Why go to all that trouble to make the biggest, most profound nerf ever. (OK, maybe it would be a prestige thing witht eh Devs, you never know) But in the mean time, before spending wekks, if not months overhauling the combat system, why not spend a couple days fixing a few stats? Makes those months of waiting that much more bearable.

My problem with all this is that the things I hate most are not combat related. Warping creatures, teleporting on prone and freezing on using cover are bugs. All the new systems in the world won't address those issues. Teleporting and freezing on cover have been broken since server up. Warping has been broken since August. These are things they have not addressed and apparently are not going to - if you take the art of combat at face value.

Unless klaw knows something that is not in the combat review - they have not addressed the issues for months - a lot of months.

Do people actually believe that Thunderheart is the one that programs in all the games changes? He comes on the boards to tell us about them... doesn't make them.

To be honest, I have no clue what you are talking about.

How said ever that Thunderheart would be programming? Please READ this thread. We are comlaining that he does not communicate (or in your words: does not "come on the boards to tell us about") with us. It's his job to tell us about the chagnes, to tell the devs about our issues and questions, and come back and give us updates about our infos and answers to our questions. This is what he does not do. He even prevents out correspondents to give us info.


Either I misunderstand you, or your post is completly out of context and totally wrong.

I'm satisfied with klawlegnaas the Rifleman Correspondent. In regards to the Top 5, I want the developers to take all the necessary time to implement these changes correctly, instead of rushing the job and possibly damaging the Rifleman profession.
