Useless Combat Skills and Classification of Weapons
BadBoy.:
Small Gunner can burst with p90 as well as perform simple shots with it. I don't see any reason why he should be able to use smg or p90 in single mode and not a 10mm or 14mm pistol.
Btw, this would be a good idea if it didn't make some (good) weapons useless. Laser pistol is way better than 14mm (even though it's not so "critical") and I believe it would be used way more often, making 14mm less popular (only crippler would use it, not even pistolero).
I think we should change anything in main combat skills (sg, bg, ew). We can talk only about changing some weapons types or discuss melee/unarmed/throwing skills in this pole.
P.S. Jotisz, you would make BGs use what they're using (lsw, minigun, launcher) and SGs only rifles OR pistols. Not fair.

I haven't played with such, but if i could get free 220% in SG to shoot you in the eyes with Sniper Rifle to knock you out and then finish bursting with minigun I would definetly make a sniper/bg.

I don't think you really considered everything I said. If we assume that hypothetically, in the future, it becomes harder to hit people in general based on AC, and harder to crit them, and even more so against characters who specialize in dodging or avoiding crits, generalizing won't be a bad strategy. I never said it wouldn't be good. But if you generalized, you might end up having trouble dealing with either extreme.
And the availability of guns. If it suddenly isn't viable to always have the best possible guns ,that also changes things. As it is, the way you arranged stats and perks would make a character either very mediocre at using both, or gimpy/wasting his time using the other. And it's not like a Sniper character can't keep an AR or SMG on hand to HURR burst anything that gets in his face anyway. Some of them are competitive with a Minigun, which only does 8-11 damage, even if it does have 30 rounds. A greasegun of all things does 10-20, and has a 20 round burst, besides taking 1 ap less to shoot. your assault rifles do more damage. The minigun takes 7ap, and requires 7 strength. There is not a standard Sniper gun like the Sniper Rifle that requires more than 5 str, and you need to dedicate pe to see far enough to make them useful. Clearly, you wouldn't have a very good character if you aimed to use both with the same skill, especially if you had flaky, random perks to try and do both. You would be very average. And that's not good the way we strong arm, twink build characters.

Fonline aint Fallout. if Fonline would be completely like Fallout (story, maps, items, features[gambling?]) then thats kinda other thing(imagine 200-400 players start at arroyo and them all chosen ones ;D).
did Fallout have Nightstalkers? what about odd white maggots which live in cave... or Radtoads? no it didnt, but did someone whine about them, no. whats wrong about changing FOnline universe if it isnt real Fallout?
P.S. if we want balance, we have to test new things...

wait what? that kinda sounds interesting IF each weapon would have own skill progression... sadly that isnt possible.. (pistol, smg, rifles, machineguns, explosives, etc)

No, FOnline has none either. Besides, you do realize that all the new critters stem from the cancelled Van Buren, official Fallout content developed which just didn't make it in a full game? It's as Fallout as it can get.
