I really enjoy Survival

Is dual-wielding founational?

If that’s the case you haven’t ever understood my positions at all.

Have a read of that if you’re under the impression I’m just unconditionally preferring what’s older.

To a lot of people. SV used to be one of the most widely played specs in the game. Modern SV fans can’t even comprehend that being a reality so they make up ridiculous lies to pretend it’s always been a niche spec.

MM has proven to be capable of being widely played.

Yes, it does. Just because it isn’t permanently in shapeshift form doesn’t mean shapeshifting is irrelevant to the spec.

So the cosmetic design decision of not always being in shapeshift form is the equivalent of not being able to be a ranged attacker with a ranged weapon?

Yeah they should make ranged weapons the primary mode of dealing damage.

Poisons and special munitions are a natural extension of the ranged weapon fantasy.

Actually, I don’t think you do. I think you enjoy the deflection.

No, I don’t think that about MM, If it’s not competitive people will play BM instead. It used to be people will play BM or SV, but people largely avoid SV even when it is competitive.

There are still far too many downsides to picking MM over BM.
