wombatjake Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) ...and bounty hunters their own independent story lines. Let us CHOOSE which side we side with in the upcoming war. One thing i despise about SWTOR is the non sense that because Solo and Fett were aligned with a side, that all smugglers are republic and BH are empire. This is absurd. Additionally, even if it's nothing more than an animation change, PLEASE give BH and Smuggs the ability to use rifles. It's extremely immersion breaking and implausible that 2 classes that rely on weaponry for their classes' powers would only use lame pistols. And no, the shottie for the smug doesnt count. It's the same as the alignment issue. Because Boba used a pistol, all BH would only use a pistol? Come on. That is just laziness.

wombatjake Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I dont even care about a main hand switch. Im talking about the animation option. BH and Smugg keep their skills and use the animations that already exist in the game. Just an optional thing for us is all. And the absurdity of locking down BH and smugg to empire or republic because of characters established in 1977 and 1980 wasnt addressed. Im sure this will be ignored by the devs. Dont get me wrong. But it's silliness. There was no reason for it in the first place, but what's done is done. They dont have to continue the non sense though. And if it were up to me, any class would be able to be a traitor too. It's not like the Empire doesnt have soldiers. But that's a new rabbit hole to go down.

Mournblood Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Boba Fett was walking around with a rifle in Cloud City (ESB). Folks seem to gloss over the details when citing canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a more serious note though.... they clearly needed to balance classes between factions leading up to launch... because.... they had a much more rigid context in mind for how the two factions would match up against each other in PvP. If they simply allowed classes to be rolled on either faction willy nilly.... I'm almost positive it would have an imbalance effect on the game, the players, and the studio. Besides.. it's not like they actually followed canon from the original movies when they designed SWTOR... which is precisely why it resides on a time line thousands of years before the movie timeline. Anyway..... if you have an idea or a personal want... you put it in the suggestion forum and maybe some day it comes to fruition in game.... or it may not... that is the nature of MMOs... not all player suggestions get implemented.

Raansu Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 PT's use pistols for an obvious and specific reason. Their off hand fires a off a chunk of their abilities. Animating with a pistol makes pretty obvious sense in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
