I started playing this game from the start in mid 2003. I've been a swordswoman from way back then and have hung onto the profession through all of it's issues.
Even when our main special attack was nerfed and we became useless for pvp, I stayed (I don't like pvp much anyway lol). While every other profession got revamps, new moves, new items, and we remained with our 2 specials, no status attacks, no KD, no buffs or resistances.. I stuck with it cause I love the idea of being a swordswoman.
This isn't a rant, it's just a point I'd like to make. I like us after the CU (even with the fact that our only KD was taken away again). Swords is much cleaner, faster, and more fun to play. But since the very beginning there has been one primary thing thatmany of us inthis profession has been asking for for the past 2 years. A new look for our main weapon.
We had the scythe for a while, which was equivalent to the PH (one way or another), but they were a pain to get, a pain to make, and very expensive, plus we were only allowed to have two for ourselves in our lifetime. Now that they aresubstandard compared to a PH anyway, we're back to square one. Everyone else got quest reward weaponswith the new expansion that are awesome and valuable. The ones I see so far for us are extremely hard to obtain and are still not quite up to par with the PH so not even worth all the effort.
So I'm starting to wonder... with a 2 year old request, is this some kind of back roomjoke now? How long and how many times should we have to request the same thing? I don't think it's a difficult concept to put in game. Even if they put a new skin over the PH and make them identical,I'll be happy. I don't think it's that big of a request. I've seen more complex things hotfixed into the game.
I apologize for this being so long. It may seem to be a silly request and something very small to complain about. There shouldn't even be as long a post as this about it. But as an example, if you need black pants for a uniform and the one you ordered is purple... you send it back saying it's wrong and they send you an orange one.. you send THAT one back and say black please! Then you get a red one in the mail.... you just start to wonder....

Well said, really really speaks volumes for how the majority of us old-hand Swordsgirls (and boys) are feeling I think. /hug Arisa

You know the problem with us so long ago in PvP? Well what most people didnt know is that by not using specials it made us very lethal, and in duels i could take on TKM's easily. We were and still are the best melee profession around(excluding Jedi). Worst thing i can see is weapon worth and are ability to use only one weapon at Master, due to damage output. The Scythe is great, but cant compare!

nope still a mess. i have to go to my parents place or the library to get on.
the ISP is being slow, and if i dont go with them i can get 42k dial up. haha, that would drive me plain mad. Im still checking in to see if anything is happening. nothing much is. hopefully this weekend ill get a chance to post my updated swordsman issues list. something like this:
1. where is the sword?
2. where are more swords? (introduce something with decent damage and a lower SAC)
3. make berserk cool
4. add a swordsman KD
probably more. like check on critical hit chance and that chance with the move and sliced weapons. make it worth the SAC.

All great things I'd love to see Whatever new sword they're planning on giving to us, I really hope it's something regularly craftable this time.

uhm what?
PvP as a swordsman used to be incredibly hard. the period right before the Geonisian caves were implemented (no acklay hammers, no scythe) and bleed got completely nerfed... that was pretty challenging heh.
ANYWAYS... awesome!!!!! i really hvae been wanting a cool looking master sword for a while now. also, dont make it EXACTLY identical to the ph. have it be like 1050 max dmg with +100 elemental dmg of some type, i think that would be more interesting. anyways, my 2 cents.
