Zorrion Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Lift all weapon restrictions. Allow anyone to use any weapon type they would like. Increase customization of weapons in some new way overall to bring something else to crafters. Tie in space to crafting the new upgrade. Use a new story to do this. A new reserve of Kunda stones was found in an asteroid belt. Republic and Imperial forces race to gather the resources first. Dog fights and large scale battles break out as players try to gain control of the area and mine the stones.

Zorrion Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Why would it matter if a Jedi or Sith used a blaster? They most likely wouldn't anyway. But why not give them the choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altyrell Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 problem with that is that the Abilities require certain weapons to be used. It would be strange for an Imperial Agent Sniper to use Pistols, Swords, Lightsabers, and other Melee Weapons just as it would be strange for a Force User to use Sniper Rifles.

I agree that only force sensitive beings should have the ability and discipline to use light sabers, but disagree with sniper - obviously still keep them restricted to blaster weapons but gunslinger does everything a sniper can but with two pistols, I think that should be up to the players choice of how they want their character to progress with weapons. Not a forced choice that a gunslinger should only use pistols or a vanguard will only use rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGriffith Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Lift all weapon restrictions. Allow anyone to use any weapon type they would like. Increase customization of weapons in some new way overall to bring something else to crafters. One practical reason for restricting weapons, beyond the 'because that is the way it is in the movies' is found in PvP. There the silhouette of a player character is important in quickly recognising what class they are and how to react to them. Some classes you will want to stun quickly and keep close distance. Others you will want to kite. The weapons and general clothing style provide a way to recognise each class at a glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoA Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 As much as I'd love to have a Double-bladed sabre on my Sorcerer purely for cosmetic purposes (since no one actually attacks with the sabre by lvl 10) It just won't work. There would have to be too many changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a forced choice that a gunslinger should only use pistols or a vanguard will only use rifles. Yeah but there is a difference between shooting Pistols and shooing Sniper Rifles. You can't seriously expect to see someone pick up a Sniper Rifle, without any prior training IN Sniper Rifles but only had training in Pistols [dual wielding or otherwise] to all of a sudden become proficient in using Sniper Rifles? Or someone who has no training in picking up let alone handling the BFG's to be thrown in, without any heavy armor to help compensate to suddenly be able to fire the BFG's and not see any problems?

Zorrion Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Other MMO's are allowing any weapon to be used by the player realizing that the diversity and choice a user has the better the game will perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaxem Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 A bounty hunter being forced to use pistols is just silly. that i will agree on but still i don't want to see a bounty hunter running around with a lightsaber so if they would make this change i would be fine with it as long as tech users are restricted to blasters and force users any type of lightsaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyas Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Light sabers are special everyone knows this however a mando did use the dark saber 1 in a million thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonMo Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Light sabers are special everyone knows this however a mando did use the dark saber 1 in a million thought I noticed they are considered standard equipment in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I would like to see and expanded base of weapons players could choose from. Not a total lifting of restrictions, but more options. Possibly legacy unlocks.

nokizaru Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I hate the saberstaff with a passion, so I'd love to be able to equip my Assassin with single or dual saber options. But like others have indicated, the game is designed so that people are able to identify their enemies at first glance according to the weapons they wield. There'd be far too much resistance to this idea for the devs to seriously consider implementing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
