View Full Version : What About the Lowtech Users?

Hi, Lowtech users exist and i would like to know why no new toys are available? Lowtech users have no stealth, they dont have much of a choice between different models of giving bullets to ppus so they can examine the bullet quality.

Pistols get a lousy pistol with no real pvp use, hell, it is crap for pvm aswell, the low range makes the aim hard to connect shots to cause any damage to mobs, the only thing usable is the Lib, and even the pistol has its own crappy disadvantages. Why does the lib have 116m range while the smg 224, a tl 63 smg, thats 28 tl difference, has 192m range?

Rifles get a shotgun that no one can use because its rare and KK are "tweaking" the spawn for "strange books", but im guessing its on hold or something? It also isnt that great. Oh look and the Pain Easer. I dont know about it so i wont comment on how cool it is.

How about a Rare Nailgun eh? How about move the grenade launcher to rifles and high the tl and make one rare? Now both pistols and rifles get poison oh no sounds like every class will get ability to poison people cant have that.

Rocket Pistols? Auto Pistols? Pistol and Rifle gats? how about Gauss pistols and rifles, using magnetic crap to launch bullets at a faster velocity or something? Crossbows with poison mod? different variants of pistols and smgs?

Lowtech Pistols jump from tl65 to tl88, nice.

Lowtech Rifles jump from tl79 to tl93 (not including the Terminator, but how many has one eh?)

How about filling some room between store bought to rare lowtech weapons?

Oh wait lom to high tech, you say? Oh how silly of me, why didnt i think of that earlier?

i agree, but gats are going low tech so thats cool :rolleyes:
but whatever we get as lowtechs techs get anyway so we wont get anything exclusive, remember that, we will get nothing, and i mean nothing unique,it cant happen that way, why would people spec tc if they dint have rc/pc in first place

but you would have thought tc wud access you to some weapons, not the majority, it seems to much of a necessity to spec, should it be?i suppose they need a point sink somewhere

lol what a thought imagine a rolh pe that dont need t spec TC :D

I dunno. I used to think low tech should get some love but I'm not sure any more. I REALLY wish the Wyatt was made viable. I mean seriously, that gun is sexy. Maybe give it some better aiming (its aiming is worse than the Libby), a bit of range, and perhaps even a colored swirly (dare I suggest black? *creams pants*). Yah a viable Wyatt would make me happy.

They need to fix Uzi Aim.

Low Tech should be easier to master allowin more room for defence.
At least, my Low-Tech setups are designed to be the ULTRA defence setups while my high-tech setups sacrifice a little defence..

Yea but then KK would have no excuse when asked about all the other really shitty rares they keep forgetting to fix.

Edit;
Fix or take out of the loot pool.

Come on, at least the Wyatt Earp has a fanclub. There's no hope for the Beam of Hell, Healing Light, or even the lowly Doom Beamer.

meh i gave a idea for the beamer ages ago, but most tanks seem to like the pile of shite that it is today

i would comment more but heaven forbid a thread hijacking

Actually I'm a Doom Beamer fan myself. Its the only rare tank AoE weapon I like, which is ironic since its the crappiest. I dunno but something about watching a large ball of blue death fly across the screen sucking up everything in its way makes me smile. :)

I remember the days the doom beamer was one of the only weapons I had respect for in terms of it's damage on me..... -_-

Nice test server changes... lets hope they make it into retail.

On the subject of low-tech weapons... I wouldn't mind having a dirty harry type of gun. obtainable only after u get a strange book or something like that (when it's fixed). Literally like a close range hand-cannon... that would rock.

should'nt armour piercing bullets pierce armour and not bypass deflector?

Yah a Dirty Harry weapon would be cool, or like, a Wyatt Earp weapon.... oh wait... :lol: The Wyatt Earp IS a hand cannon, it sucks sucks horribly.

agreed, but im telling you, not suggesting to you, that it wont b fixed until DoY. hopefully lupus idea will go through and we will have a non rare smg in the tl 80's, erp will get a boost, and we might get a rare nailguna nd rare auto pistol... thats actually good. TBH i cant say ill welcome a rare nailgun... YES I skilled poison god damnit but I still dont like it, and EVERYONE is gonna mod thier nailgun poison, nobody will use anything else. we need some more options in resiting poison before more poison weapons come out.

errrrr jest.

I think you lost my point.

By dirty harry weapon i meant a hand cannon... short range and makes big holes... doesn't stack and has a low rate of fire.

What was Dirty Harry's gun called? Colt 45? i dunno... but i envisioned the graphic being similar to his and not like a glock with a laserpointer attachment.

You got anything else useless and uninformed to say jest?
