The Rifleman Profession will be receiving these changes:
-Players must be in the prone or kneeling position to shoot
-Standing will allow players to only use melee attacks (melee attacks include specials such as /riflebash, which dizzy/posture changes, while /riflehit deals decent damage to random pools), BUT using /aim will allow players to shoot 3 shots while standing before players must use /aim again. (Prevents “kiting”)
-Going prone will give players 5x more accuracy
-Two new rifles will be added to the game.
-Blinded riflemen will be limited to melee attacks only.
-Riflemen will be given some defense to states as well as melee.
-Adjusted rifle accuracy to be 200 upon mastery, but decreased the speed at mastery to 70.
Reported by R .Kent, Co-Leader of the Rifleman Profession Development Team
The Carbineer Profession will no longer be a profession of its own in Star Wars Galaxies, however, Marksman and Bounty Carbines will be kept in the game. All Carbineer certified carbine weapons will be moved to either Marksman or Bounty Carbines (or both). The Carbineer Profession Development Team will collaborate with the Bounty Hunter Profession Development Team post-patch.
--------
I have the reason to beleive that SOE wouldn't mess the game up that much.. They make Rilfemen only able to shoot while kneeling and move all fo Carbiner into BH and Marksmen? are you crazy??? if this is the case. I will be canceling all my accounts

Cheer up. At least SL are getting a once per day ability, at Master, to call in a Death Star Laser that will destroy a planet and reset the server. Only those who's toons were MSL as of 10/1/04 will be able to attain MSL.
And if you couldn't guess, its all BS. Guy who wrote those notes was pretty creative, all the way down to making up a developer name.

I agree, that better not fricken be the case!! There's no ranged profession I ever wanted to be in the game than Carbineer. They better make BH Carbines better than master carbineer since it takes 34 more skill points. That eliminates a lot of choices in secondary professions...

LOL Blamj don't believe everything you read. There is a lot of BS that circulates on these forums that is simply not true.
If it is not posted by a red or yellow name, or maybe a correspondent, I would just ignore it. Just reading this supposed "combat rebalance" notes makes me laugh. Things like "Carbineer Profession Development Team" and "Bounty Hunter Profession Development Team" make me laugh because the core SWG dev team is not that big where they would even be able to have teams for all the professions. Each developer would have to be the team for like 5 professions himself LOL

Actually this has been quite humorous for those of us in the Corr Forum
It should be Moderated, but still funny for those of us with Common Sense around here
