There's a reason a lot of these things didn't catch on (including the revolver rifle)...

Yes, you have reason about this, but... remember that GD is a game of ARPG... is phantasy and in the phantasy you can do wherever you want.

I feel his pain... it's gun-nerd instinct...

My thoughts: OMGWTFBBQ WE GET GUNS.

That is all.

Do people really worry about getting trapped by enemies?

I have confidence that the team will implement a number of crowd control abilities for any play style someone could want to play.

Getting surrounded by mobs is one of my favorite times to unleash a powerful but short ranged AOE ability. Running around, chasing mobs and picking them off one at a time has never been my favorite strategy.

If this game doesn't get shotguns, I'll cry!

Medierra I have a question, ¿can you tell us something about the weapons for mage class's?

He already did ...

Any chance we'll be able to dual wield pistols like the original post?
