Smuggler Archive

I'm just out of words. Some people.

/agree

I guess they would want all the pistol certs to be in pistoleer.

Ya know though... I agree with the sentiment... Go ahead and give certs to everyone, but if you're going to be a _Master_ pistoleer, or rifleman, or carbiner, you should be able to use any of those things in the game...

Look at it this way... Pikeman can use any pike in the game, Fencers use any one-handed, etc... Granted - They're the only ones who use 'em, but that's not the point.

This post naturally contradicts my desire for a Master Smuggler DL-44, but that's beside the point.

Flavor be DAMMED! NO NEED FOR UNIQUENESS! MAKE ONE SINGLE PROFESSION THAT CAN USE THEM ALL I SAY! THAT WAY NOBODY WILL HAVE ANY FUN! HOORAY!

As a commando AND a smuggler, I demand to be able to fling rubber chickens and play a bandfill. It's not fair that I can't.

See, this is the kinda problem you end up with when you have crazy "professions" in the game named after skills and not real professions.

In my fictionaly perfect SWG world the ability to shoot a gun well wouldn't a profession it would be a skill, and a skill that would allow you to take up and excell at a variety of professions from smuggler to BH to squad leader.

Just like being able to use a rifle well would allow you to take up commando or infantryman/stormtrooper or, again, smuggler.

Not saying i'd kill the rifelman or pistoleer profession and move everything like that to brawler/marksman so much as I've always though these there should really be 2 different pools set up instead of 2 tiers. One where you your skills are formed the other where your profession and other activities are pulled from.

This idea's been suggested in the Correspondent forum, but didn't go down too well with some correspondents . I'm guessing the devs have toyed with the idea at some point (indeed, I seem to remember that skills were more akin to this in early beta), but the chances of such a thing taking place with the current state of the game are few and far between. I think the CU was the best chance of this ever happening, at least until SWG 2 .

LOL Yimaz...what are you /signing?

I'm MP and I don't give a fig that there are pistols I can't use, they aren't any better than the ones I CAN use so the only reason to care would be for the graphics. If you care so much about the graphics you should be screaming bloody murder over breaking...and not fixing...the custom barrels and scopes on ALL weapons.
