spentOnChocolate Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Is there any interest, among the devs especially but the community too, in adding melee specs for non-Force users? For example, a vibroknife spec for agents or vibroblade specs for troopers and bounty hunters. There are lots of non-Force Sensitive NPCs that fight with melee weapons, so why not PCs too?

DeadOptimus Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thing is, every class has 3 specs. Rather than break that mold, they would likely add another class entirely. ... If they had the money. ... Or manpower. ... Or money. But seriously though, as much as I love this game to pieces, it's pretty obvious EA and Disney give it 0 budget and the dev team is quite small. I doubt we'll see any major content updates of the sort before the servers go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_Porter Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Your request is fairly niche and would require a massive overhaul as mentioned above. You can play as one of the existing non-force melee specs, or use trooper armor with a vibroblade on a Sith Warrior/Jedi Knight.

Here's hoping the game spawns some kind of meme to rope in more subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltoftheDragon Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Back in my SWG days...i made a master pikes build for farming meat and hides. I would love to have a spec like that here....with the appropriate vibro bladed pikes to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Isn't there a spec for Smuggler (dirty fighting, or something) that is almost a melee spec using a lot of kicks and punches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramell Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 vibroknife spec for agents Operative uses the off-hand vibroknife as the primary weapon. The blaster rifle's mostly for show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper scoundrel. It's shotgun + punches. Edited May 20, 2021 by waisting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDutchman Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 You can play the knife happy agent spec (concealment?) without a gun at all This allows you to use the legacy hand to hand abilities as well as the agent's knife attacks You won't be competitive of course, but it's fun.

BRKMSN Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I think what people are really wanting is to play something like a bounty hunter that can wield a vibrosword, techstaff, or something non-lightsaber, while having supporting abilities that aren't force powers.

No. It takes them over a year to release small updates. Its a skeleton crew releasing piece meal content because they have no budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
