The only issue I have with the insta-point swap is that is basically changes what it means to be a particular profession. Is a professon really just the title and skills one has attained? Or does one measure a profession by what the player has endured and learned to achieve that level?

We all believe the in the post-CURB world, combat will be more than just how fast i can spam my best special at. So without the growing-process, the learning one goes through while leveling up, all those future "Masters" have going for them are skills and a title, not experience or knowledge to put those skills to a proper use.

Not sure if i'm actually making sense with this or not. The fact is, 90% of players will immediately allocate their skill points into what they believe will be some uber-template, without really knowing how good each profession is going to be or how they're going to compliment one another. SO eventually, most people will have to grind something else anyway.

I might re-edit this in a bit if i find a better way of putting these thoughts together.






I hear you. And people will DEFINITELY try to catch the flavor of the month using this system.

But I think that it's unavoidable and a bigger disservice to force someone to play Pistoleer with changes they don't like/didn't ask for.


Another thing is- A lot of people have theirtemplates fordifferent reasons- like a BH might only have the pistols line andTKM because that is the best way to be effective as a BH nowadays. IF the CURB changes that they shouldn't have to pay the price for being able to go back to what a BH should be.


I've also thought of becoming aBHjust for the content alone- but that's another thread.

CoH did that, and it worked pretty well. Of course, the skills of CoH are completely different from SWG, but I do think it's a good idea.
If this is true, I'd like to dump Master Smuggler/Master Commando and go for Master Smuggler/Master TKA and as far up on Pistoleer as I can go. I need a change. I've been Smuggler/Commando for as long as I can remember...
