Swordsman Archive

I cannot figure something out. When I chose the profession Swordsman I chose it because it reminded me of Obi and Luke and Yoda and so forth. Jedi's use lightsabers...well why on earth would the weapon of our profession available to us be 98% hammers and axes? What was going thru the dev's brains. They list SWORDSMAN as a profession yet that is the one weapon that is VERY rare to find for any of us. I can understand the use of axes and hammers if this game were entitled " LORD OF THE RINGS " and we all chose the profession of Gimily a dwarfe. But this is Star Wars Galaxies and I chose the profession S W O R D S M A N. hmmmmm was there a fine print somewhere that read for the first several months of game play your weapons of use will be axes and hammers. I wonder mister dev how many of us would have chose this prof if we would have originally known just how rare and difficult it was going to be to actually use or find a two handed sword. Nice trick.

Hiya carribbean,

i just wanted to comment on 2 things:

first of all i somehow got the impression, i might be wrong though, from your posts that you might think i am a dev or working for sony/lucas. Just to clarify this in case you do: i'm not.

I'm a player like you who simply collects the issues worked out on this board and report the top 5 issues once a week to the devs and of course trying to do that in an objective manner, means reflecting more or less the whole community's point of view...which of course isn't always easy.

As you might have seen here

we mentioned in last weeks mail that we would like to see more weapons, especially swords, because there are others like you who mainly started this profession to become what its title suggests: a SWORDSman....and this weeks mail will include a follow-up which will include a couple of ideas brought up by people here about what kind of swords those could be....

I also want to mention that, and you can find thatby reading through some posts in this forum, some of the swordsmen here actually also enjoy their vibroaxe or power hammer...so i personally think that the best solution, in order to make everybody happy, would be to simply add a couple ofmore swords to our profession if possible....but that is definetly something where we will have to wait for the devs word on this issue.

I hope i was able to help you somewhat...

Happy wielding
