I doubt we'll get the combat revamp any earlier than very late this year.


Their plan seems to includefour publishes in the meantime, which will take 6+ months,and then I'm sure they will be crunching to get the space expansion out in time for the holiday season.


I figure, if what they call a monthly updateturns out to be apublish every two months,when they say combat will bedeveloped 'over a long period of time', we should expect just that,if not more. All of which is fine with me, but dear god...we need more weapons.

Out of boredom and curiousity, I present the following list of weapon certifications byelite (not hybrid) profession:

Marksman: 8 Rifles, 10 Pistols, 7 Carbines
Brawler: 0 Unarmed, 7 One-handers, 4 Two-Handers, 4 Polearms

Carbineer: 9 Carbines (2 elite)
Fencer: 8 One-handers (1 elite)
Pikeman: 5 Polearms (1 elite)
Pistoleer: 12 Pistols (2 elite)
Rifleman: 9 Rifles (1 elite)
Swordsman: 6 Two-handers (2 elite)
Teras Kasi Artist: 1 Unarmed (1 elite)

Ignoring TKAs for this one, since they're not supposed to have weapons, pikemen are hurting the most. We come in a close second, but only because of the recent addition of the Scythe. Without it we'd be tied for short-end-of-the-stick when it comes to weapon selection. Honestly, looking at the numbers, there need to be more brawler-level two-handers. Same with polearms.I would say that the addition of this new Rifleman-only rifle isn't a bad thing in that it takes them up to two elite-level ceritifications, and that Fencers and Pikemen need the same consideration. Once that's been taken care of there need to be more basic-level weapons toselect from in all tracks but pistols.


Remember, Jake did mention in his letter to the community that lots more weapons were in the works—let's hope there's some for everyone so things can be somewhat more equitable.

They had better do it right... hell the shoulda done it right when this game was released.

nearly a year after release were gonna see the combat system made fun?

yeah gee isnt that a tad insulting? i mean really... we are paying the highest monthly fee (not including ISP fees)for ANY MMO out there... and we get under tested, over hyped, buggy nonsense that they promise that they want to fix.

This is getting older faster and faster... and im sick of waiting. Soon as my account is up..... no more.... revamp or not.

im sick of this terrible exscuse for a game.

everyone gripes, but we are the only profession that can pvp and take on large mobs with all of our weapons but one. The heavy axe is the only thing that i can't kill a tk with. Sure it would be nice to be right up there with rifleman in pvp ablility, but think about it. We are to bludgeon or cut them. They are to shoot us. Who should win 9 times out of 10? I think that we are fairly luck in what we've been given, but go ahead and keep pushing for more. Remember though, nothing comes for free. If they give us another new weapon after the scythe, and it's a rare damage type or heavy ap, we will likely lose something in return.
