SDW ARC

[Matty]

Your In-Game Name: SDW Matty
Suggestion:
Give SDW some ARC Spots
With the following load-outs (This is just so we can get it passed IC first, this will be another suggestion for loadout if this is accepted)

Westar M5 (Silenced)
Dual DC-17s (Silenced)
Grapple Hook
SDW Speed boost
SDW Jump boost

We will have the same stuff as normal ARC, 1 Alpha ARC, 2 ARC Spost etc.
SDW ARC can partake in both Spec ops (With ARC) and Black Ops (With SDW)

Reason:

As fun, as SDW is at the moment, We do only have 1 spec/sub spec to the regiment compared to every other regiment which has a total of 3 (Medics, ARC and their Spec) Some may have one more Since ARC is another Elite Spec alongside SDW we think it might be a good idea to have a slot in SDW which will be ARC, Will work the same as normal ARC where Alpha ARC will train SDW ARC etc, During events SDW ARC will roam just like how covert will but not as stealthy and take a different approach using their gun more than a staff.

Also like to add that our ARC is getting 0 extra equipment, It will get in exchange the little speed boost and jump height which we already get for being SDW, If you think this is OP then just think CG ARC also has a speed boost which has additional equipment to it.

Tom has said he likes the idea of SDW having great ARC, I see adding it to SDW or at least trying it to see how it goes, No harm in adding it.

I know some people are against it, but I think overall it would be a good change and seeing this is a Donator Regiment it would make sense to have access to something similar to players but accessible through their path. Obviously the argument is they can be ARC any where but Shadow, RC and Jedi but I think it would bring up their total power and would kinda boost them slightly. It would still require people to go through the standard process as any other ARC Member which locks away their ability to get this equipment behind a difficult tryout. Now yes this is just a buff but I think it makes sense as thinking about it Shadow originated from ARC and had ex-ARC members. It's not gonna make 100% sense but can have a slight foundation.

Would be a nice second spec which might boost activity of the regiment.

Also an addition for why I think it would be nice, during a Black-Ops, yknow the missions only Shadow members go to they could use the help of their Shadow ARC to clear out droids at a faster rate.

I agree, that's why I think the main aspects of it could be altered as the weapons alone make them more than enough, not sure about the speed boost and jump boost myself as thats for melee users and ARC wouldn't have melee weapons so might just be too strong so alternatives like a cloak or simply just them having a staff with no speed or jump boost stats

Giving anything to SDW ARC to anyone would be deemed to be too OP even if it's a simple staff, This is why we have given them no other equipment and instead just using the basic stuff every shadow trooper gets

The speed boost isn't that much different to normal CG ARC as I think it's just slightly faster than it I remember when Painite came to me about the speed boost I remember telling him I wanted it just a little faster than CG since we are donator and haven't got much else to add to the regiment.

If everyone here is worried about how OP SDW ARC will be then I think you should check every other regiment ARC before ours, WP has a jetpack, 501st has a personal shield, 212th I'm pretty sure has the jump pack as well as thermal dets, GC has a sniper as well as the Westar11, and CG has all their equipment + a shotgun + speed boost.

So SDW ARC isn't/wouldn't be considered OP for just having the ability to have a slight speed boost and the ability to run and gun, Which every other ARC job also has plus their extra piece of equipment.

So SDW ARC will have nothing and will most likely be considered one of the weaker ARC jobs due to the lack of equipment, Think a lot of people just jumping onto a bandwagon and saying it will be OP just to have something to say on the topic, for instance, most of the COs, when Dylan brought this up in the CO discord, disagreed with Dylan when he said it would be strong then later when the other COs agreed its not OP changed their mind to it not being OP at all, The speed boost isn't that much stronger, I think of the top of my head is only 20 more speed than CG which means both SDW and CG are faster than normal troopers, So if this is OP then why not look at the other ARC jobs and say the same.

TLDR;
- SDW ARC not getting any equipment
- SDW speed boost is only slightly faster than shock due to lack of SDW equipment
- All ARC jobs can run and gun not just SDW
- Other ARC jobs are much stronger than this suggested
- Think most people need to play SDW before saying if its OP

This suggestion has been DENIED by the Generals.

The generals feel like this change isn't warranted from an IC standpoint and would rather see an independent and unique spec to compliment Shadow.​
