I understand that it's supposed to be cross-compatible with Pathfinder 2E, but the use of Simple, Ranged, and Advanced Ranged weapons is just yicking me out, and I don't know why, it just is... What was so wrong with Small Arms, Longarms, Heavy, and Sniper? Why not make a cross-compatibility statement for PF Classes as they did in the Original SF Core Rulebook?

What separates the use of a Laser Pistol, from a Boom Pistol, from a Gyrojet Pistol? They're All Pistols, right? Why is a Zero Cannon (formerly a Heavy Weapon) used as the basic Martial Cryo Option? Where's my Zero Rifle? What is going on with Starfinder 2E Ranged, Can someone help me understand x.x

I can understand for the Melee Weapons, for those it makes sense to me, but the Ranged Weapons being categorized all willy-nilly like this, is just absolutely confusing me...

Hell, couldn't you just make Small Arms into the Simple, Longarms into the Martial, and Heavies and Snipers into the Advanced? That would be Way more understandable...

Basically I was trying to add the Lost Omens Character Guide PDF to my cart and it sent back "Your request produced an error." replacing the prices. So I reloaded the same issue, went to check the forums, no answer. So I went back trying to see if maybe fixed itself, and saw the subscription and went "let's try this method maybe?" Got the exact same issue again, so I went back to the Character Guide and tried the Hardcover, same issue... Which means I can't seem to add anything to my cart... Halp, please?

I'm gonna do exactly what I saw someone else do with another thread get some very negative thoughts out of my head. My biggest concern with the new system is the way that the Multiclassing works, as I saw someone mention in another thread that's been locked now, "the new system makes it so that you can have the features of another class without losing the features of your original class."

Well my question is, what if I didn't want some of those features from my first class at all? What if I am Purposefully trying to opt out of those features? Do I not need a way to do that? What if the things I wanted were the Feats from the two classes more than anything else? What if I wanted to Multiclass just because I liked the Feats from the 2 classes I wanted to combine, and didn't necessarily care about the Baseline Features?

Well then I guess that I am quite out of luck because I can't replace those baseline features just the Class Feats. Then there's the question of when the Class Specific Archetypes come out, will they be able to be Multiclassed into? I'm honestly having a hard time believing they will.... And these, THESE are my biggest gripes with the new system. I'm honestly not the kind of person who min maxed and munchkinized. Heck quite a few of my builds were far from it, But they were FUN to play regardless. Nerfing Multiclassing like this takes away a Lot of why I was having fun.

Now! I agree that there were people who were abusing multiclassing, I agree that the classes are looking pretty good in comparison to the classes in 1E, carrying over a Lot of the flavor and even cannibalizing from the Hybrid Classes (looking at you Fighter & Ranger). But I don't Like playing Straight up classes, I never have. Now I know they shouldn't have to cater to one lone voice in the crowd like mine, but I'm sad and scared for the future, my future.

I don't like 5E because of the lack of any Real support for it, and the classes kinda turn me off in comparison to 1E's and even 2E's (I like them I really do), and sticking around on a sinking ship isn't a real option, because there will be no support once 2E is out. Then there's PFS (which I do want to join, just not right now while in this Transition Period) which will Definitely be moving on to 2E once it's out. So I'm feeling really lost with no path forward...
