CU Update from inside TC5

[Novall]

7 new pistols. All very sweet lookin except the flare pistol. Intimidator is going to be one of my pistols of choice...and you'll see why when you see the gun. ITS HUGE!

TKA get 3 new weapons also. Blacksun Razor Knucklers, Blaster Fists, and Massasi Knucklers that look like those wierd Klingon 2 handed curved sword things.

2 new 1 handed swords...Massasi and Maurader sword. Maurader looks hella cool.

For BH. Torso and Eye shot are now in the LLC line. (dont ask me why) and we get some really nice melee and ranged defense and a "Duelists Stance" special that improves our defences and reflects part of the damage back at the attacker.

Pistoleers have pretty much the same specials as before, but the once damaging specials like Stopping Shot are more for de-mobilization then anything else.

Smugglers Last Ditch has turned into just that. The last shot you'll ever make It uses up ALL of your remaining skill points to use once.

TKA still looks the same...but no Unarmed Hit 1-3 anymore.

I dont see any specials for Commando ATM. Lots of defence though, but no specials.

Fences get Cripple Hit, Binding Attack, and Scatter Hit. I'll let you decided what these do

Go check it out on TC5 if you wanna see for yourself.

sounds cool what profession gets the Intimidator and can any one join TC5 right now?

[Novall]

INtimidator is a kenetic pistol, so probably somewhere in the pistoleer line. Anyone can join TC.

[Novall]

Ok...get this. Commando gets Massasi Knucklers but have absolutely NO UNARMED SPECIALS OUTSIDE THE NOVICE BRAWLER UNARMED TREE.

Some of this stuff is really hosed up IMHO. Do the DEVS actually play the same game we do?

[Hashum]

Any BH pistol specials if they took away Eye Shot and Torso Shot?

[Sai'nu]

Is novice medic still essential to healing yourself in battle? Or is that a gimmick that is going bye bye too?

[Novall]

You have a skill that lets you use medpacks without needing to be a medic. Smuggler's UNderhand shot has moved to the BH pistol line, as well as Confussion Shot which I think was a carbineer shot.

My big skill point annoyance:

Scout with Exploration. You think a Teras Kasi Master could walk up a hill without being a scout. If they gave me Terrain Negotiation +20 I would be a happy man.

The concept for Commando is kind of a support profession to the other professions. The flamethrower will automatically give a DoT on basic attack, no need for a special. What will be possible is to use pistol/rifle specials with your Flame thrower or rocket launcher.


We'll have to wait to see more on how this works

I saw Helos tell everyone in the commando forum that caues they were freakin out.

[Vanwa]

Also flamethrowers have a cone effect inherrent to them. Its not a commando thing its a weapon thing.

[Isleh]

I haven't been able to get on. Did they alter the skill point cost to any of the entertainer professions?

Actually I think both of those were the Carbine Specials from BH. So what specials to BH gets for Carbine? Sorry I couldn't log in last night.

Blah..your right. Low blow is smugglers shot. I should know that since I have FD4.

I cant remember off the top of my head. BH's do get a new carbine...I know that much also

[Jerrel]

Just hoped on I like the new icons for the tool bar. When I went on however the skill parts, faction, and PA Halls where turned off so I couldn't test any of the professions beyond starting.
