atatasd Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I personally like the idea of allowing both sides access to all weapons. talking about sniper rifles and assault cannons. Having to go to the imperial side just to use a sniper is kinda crummy. I'm thinking Sniper and vanguard should get access to the sniper rifle weapons and operative and commando get assault cannons all having access to blaster rifles. having a whole weapon class for just one class for one side is odd.

Snipers already have access to sniper rifles. Indeed, they are currently the only class that can use them. Operatives (close-in melee class) with assault cannons (somewhere between a heavy machine gun and a light autocannon) would be silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monumenta Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I would like my gunslinger to have the option of using a rifle that would be awesome. Same in reverse I would like my sniper to be able to use 2 pistols. I dont really play any other classes but I could see the same thing working for troopers and bounty hunters 4 mirrors and scoundrels and operatives. Great suggestion, would love to see it.

SithKoriandr Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 While doing that, allow Jedi classes to use single bladed lightsabers or dual bladed lightsabers no matter the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristein Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Keep making classes more and more generic and we'll be down to truly only 2 classes. Step one: choose if you want to use guns or lightsabers Step two: choose what kind of gun or lightsaber you want to use Step Three: choose what you want to do: heal/dps/tank BOOOORRRRIINNNGGG!!!!! You really don't want any character uniqueness do you? I mean they took all the companion uniqueness away, but that is not enough for you. Now you have to have generic characters too?! Let me guess, you are a millennial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonDroid Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The class-specific weapons are one of the things that make the classes interesting and unique. It would be a terrible idea removing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithKoriandr Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The class-specific weapons are one of the things that make the classes interesting and unique. It would be a terrible idea removing that. The class specific weapons don't make the classes interesting. Knight is boring compared to Warrior and Consular, but if I want to use a single lightsaber in melee, I have to be bored with Knight storyline. Want to play Republic side/Jedi, but then get stuck with the worst animations. What makes the classes interesting, is their voice acting and their stories. Not "Oh, they only get to use this weapon." Nevermind that Empire side doesn't even get to use the Cannon and Republic side doesn't get to use the Sniper Rifle. And let's be fair here. A Trooper was going to be more likely to use a Sniper Rifle than a spy, who needs to get in close and personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people who play this game for things other than watching cutscenes you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares about story really. After one play (maybe 2 for different choices/force side) of vanilla chapters there's no reason to return to story. Ever. And the storytelling beyond vanilla is horrible at best. After that you finish the story you starting to play the real game, group content. And that is where class uniqueness matters. Tho i really really want to see Imperial class/advanced class able to wear assault cannons (i really love assault cannons) it's clearly NOT a valuable reason to steal class uniqueness from majority of players. Cutscene watchers can go play KOTOR or Mass Effect or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingusPho Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'd like this too. Have since the beginning. Gun based classes should be able to use all the guns. Maybe add in some penalty where it makes sense. A smuggler using a blaster cannon should have a penalty and a trooper using two blaster pistols would have a matching penalty, for example. Lightsaber classes should have access to all the lightsabers just add in a penalty where it makes sense. The penalty could be loss of some abilities or overall effectiveness. I think little things that make sense like this are why I don't sub often. They do an update and change the things that are easiest for the devs and EA, but not necessarily in the community's best interests. Just my two cents.

If they couldn't use all the skills, then it'd be a waste of time to use the weapon. They could just make new specs, that are basically like the ones we have, but allow for different weapon usage. It'd also give me reasons to either reroll or buy a max level token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murjo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 This sounds like a very cool change and it would add new animations into the game because many of the abilities with different weapons would likely need to be reworked.. which i like, it would be really cool. however people have a point when they say classes would lose a bit of their uniqueness. and it would be difficult to decide which classes get access to which weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
