As a Vanguard Tank or DPS we are a CQB trooper. Now as far as I have seen they are no submachinegun type blasters in game. So my questions is why do we not use Scatterguns? For all practical purpose it make more sense than an assault rifle and fits the close quarters combat mo-tiff better. No to mention I think it would be a nice addition to the Vanguard tanking class. Any other thoughts on this? I understand most of these have the cunning attribute but in all honesty with the oranges available we can swap out the mods. Also why do all the trooper cut scenes include a pistol if we cant use them?

I was just reading the DEV responses to the 1.1 problem. I was refraining from saying anything until this had been done. As with any MMO launch glitches and server side hardware problems abound. The fact the the next round of updates will include some of the software fixes is a good sign. You have built an incredibly well rounded and diverse game. Not to mention of a caliber that should be expected in MMO's. I do not post regularly nor do I troll post. However, I feel compelled to say in my opinion you did it. I will caveat this by saying you will need to get some of performance and graphical issues addressed ASAP. I do not run a top end machine but some of the issues seem more then just old hardware. Once again props to doing what so many have failed to do in recent years. It has been appreciated and I now have 2 games worth playing.

Slicing got hit to hard, it needed a nerf not a nuke. Slicing is a hacking gathering profession requiring you in effect to steal money. That's right your a thief. Having said this it still needed to be nerfed due to its insane rewards. However, at max level you should not be loosing money 75% of the time during your theft. Yes the missions should be adjusted to reflect the actually player being involved however. Bottom line in my opinion it was nuked because some one got really jumpy about its profits, which should have happened. Now tweek it back up and follow the policy of other mmo's that have done the same. You will find the balance. To those freaking out, IT WILL GET FIXED. This is what happens in mmo's when a large imbalance is found. IT gets nerfed into the ground and slowly reworked. If BW follows this policy. If not it may be a big mistake for crafting in general. Vast majorities of players do not like "grinds" or useless skills with stupid low proc rates.
