Ok, can we please fix the Elite Fleet Dual Disruptor Pistol graphics?

This "bug" has been ongoing for sometime now. It's time it was fixed.

Here's a character holding the 'pistols'.

Here's a picture of same character with 'crutches' (holstered pistols). Note severe clipping on far leg/ankle - the barrel is actually coming through the calf.

ddp2_zps4a7eb230.jpg

And this is running with said 'pistols'. Although the still picture here doesn't do justice to how incredibly stupid this actually looks in motion.

So, please either fix the graphic by giving us pistols instead of sniper rifles...OR change the description to "Dual wield SNIPER RIFLES" and make a new graphic with BOTH rifles strapped to our back when 'holstered'. The picture and description for this item should match - one way or the other.

This is just an embarrassment for the art team.

    I just had the most incredible feeling of deja vu...

    Eh. It's a funny bug but yeah, it should probably be fixed. Make a new item for those who like it.

    Nooooooooo

    Why would you want boring dual pistols? They're so much better this way.

    I want this to forever stay.

    Forever.

    Because dual-wielding friggin' sniper rifles is exponentially more bad### than having some wimpy pistols.

    And Klingons are just that bad###.

    And we all know it.

    Cryptic NEVER fix this bug. I'm completely outraged that this thread exist! :mad:
    I think this is just a fed trying to take something special from KDF. Don't you know this was the 1st fleet ground weapon I'm really in love with?

    The graphics are not the problem with the weapon, it's the secondary firing animation with most dual pistols. Just fix that
    The dress is gold and white. Over 70% people says so. When viewed from a certain screen angle it appears blue and black. The dress displayed on amazon is a blue and black dress, but it's not the same dress in the picture. If you're seeing blue & black you're slightly colored blind. A normal upright screen = white and gold.

    I'm afraid you are wrong here. The firing graphic works just like all other dual pistols in the game.

    The OP has a valid point here. The description reads pistols, not rifles. Obviously some people want to hold pistols and not rifles.

    I would suggest two things here:

    1. Cut and paste a pistol graphic onto this weapon to fix it. (seems like a super easy fix)

    2. Create a new Fleet weapon - "Elite Dual Rifles" with the current graphic.

    That way everyone gets what they want. :)

    This "bug" looks great on large characters. My Gorn in particular looks awesome dual wielding rifles and blazing away. It just looks stupid holstered, so disable holstered weapons and you're set.

    Nope nope nope nope nope. Don't fix it. It's unique. Leave as is. It's just people trying to take something special from KDF. There's nothing wrong with them.

    I don't like how cryptic "fix" things. ( IE: the omega torpedo got fixed to useless. )

    Yep. My 7 foot 10 inch toon (Queen Scora) looks great with them.

    I know isn't great?


    This isn't hurting anyone. Dual pistols aren't even that great weapons in the first place. This is the best bug ever. Long may it live.

    Even better, replicate the bug so you can toggle dual weilding as a bug (a visual bug with no stat changes)

    ...after all, who wouldn't love to dual weild stos many single handed weapons?

    I bought pistols, I want PISTOLS.

    Fix the graphic for the PISTOL item and add a Dual RIFLE item to the game for those who want it. Sheesh.

    Booooo hoooo. There are plenty of other dual pistol options. :P

    From my Fed point-of-view, it's goofy and awesome.

    Glad we don't have this problem (if it is one).

    Don't like those? Find something else to use pistol pete. :D

    Dual Pistols have the worst damage output out of ground weapons period. I have no idea why you are so butthurt over this. :rolleyes:

    Rule of Cool, obviously.

    Hell, I'd slot some dual disruptor pistols in my secondary weapon slots on my KDF toons if it wasn't for other more flavorful options available (Eebus' red nanopulse bat'leth, Elthora's whip, Ka'ragh's tritanium-rending bat'leth...)

    Seriously, I get that this looks awesome to many players, but it's also just painfully STUPID to the rest of us. The solution is pretty simple ...

    We have the option to enable/disable visuals on weapons, so why don't the devs modify the enable/disable visuals on this fleet weapon so that players have the choice to have the CORRECT visuals of dual disruptor pistols or the "awesome bug" of dual sniper rifles.

    In any case, I really want dual pistols (that is what I FREAKING PAID FOR) and not the dual sniper rifles/dual "robo crutches."
    In the immortal words of Captain Sisko: "It may not be what you believe, but that doesn't make it wrong."

    Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.

    They could take that as an opportunity to finally make weapons visuals customizable.

    I'd personally would love to have the mark 7 (I think, or was it mark 5?) visuals on my Phaser dual and compression pistol.
    Or the mark five/seven high density/puleswave visuals on my mark XII phaser assault rifle... stuff like that.

    If that would be possible, those who like dual rifles can keep them, the other can use the pistol skin^^
