Since I re-mastered carbines and found it still hasn't changed much and it's still too weak to be of any real value in PvP (even after doing all the suggestions) I've been thinking about doing rifleman. We have no stun weapons, can't hit mind effectively, slow, low/inconsistant dmg, etc....all the reasons we know and groan about. But when I told some people about my proposed switch they seemed to think it might not be such a good move.


I heard some word about rifleman getting a nerf and it wouldn't be wise to start investing my time gettingthe xp. But I don't have any facts about what will get changed to really make up my mind. Any words of advice? Links to what will happen? Anything at all will be very much appreciated...I've already gone from master carb to 3334 for the SPs (and I'm shooting pretty well with rifles, the dmg and speed even at this level is disheartening to a carbineer).

I need someone to explain what the hell is going on. I've been talking about the changes with my guild and things seem to be stacking up poorly. They say carbineers will get their day, for **edit** sake we damn well better, we **edit**ing deserve it after all this horse**edit** that's been in the professions SINCE DAY **edit**ING ONE! So you think "hey, maybe they'll give us some attention and we'll get to fight pretty well, we may be able to win for a change...


Then I find out rifleman get ANOTHER new rifle (this is where I start flipping the **edit** out) the berserker rifle that does BLAST dmg. As if the T-21 didn't knock out turrets fast enough they have to give them the dmg type that they're vuln to. And then I hear about dualwield for pistoleers and fencers. Duelwield as in 2 weapons.....2 pistols, and 2 swords....


I'm gonna go vomit in disgust and throw my computer against the wall.



And if anyone tells me to calm down....I swear I'll give your post a 1 star!

And why in the world would you have EVER thought Carbineer was going to be better than a Rifleman template in PvP after Publish 7......holy smokes.....whatever you are smoking I want some

I know whats coming next patch...DOOM...DEATH...FIRE and BRIMSTONE...CATS CHASING DOGS...REAL WRATH OFGOD TYPE STUFF....LOL just kidding


actually, until the devs explain this combat revamp, i won't know what to expect. bugs are a given, but they are really changing the game structure a good deal...sort of like taking out a few organs, some bones, and putting in new organs and new bones...


hopefully it works better than planned, but its going to involve us learning how to fight again.


HAM will be different, stat modifiers will be different, damage and resists will be different, weapons and combat will be different...of course these are only guesses but i do know it has something to do with HAM and Combat.


so next patch is going to be a real tough one to figure out beforehand, thats for sure

A while back the Dev's mentioned something about capping the speeds of theranged professions at different points. For example, Pistol would be capped at 1 speed, carbines 2 and rifles 3. They said this would be part of the combat revamp.


I have know idea if they're still planning this type of thing or not. It would certainly make me happy to shoot a second faster than a bazooka wielding rifleman though.







....and that should have been done a long long time ago. They should also make the speed bonuses a little more realistic.

Yea man, they givith, and taketh away. You should just be happy your not a Droid Engineer. Pikemen have been waiting for their day seince the beginning, all we get is a minor accuracy change, a weapon that is only usefull for fighting the uber mob that you need to kill to get it in the first place, and a nerf to warcry.



If your concern is to be a one man army in PvP then rifles is the way to go. Chances are they will be nerfed, and one day DE's will be all powerfull. Who knows, it's a game, I can get worked up too, but for the sake of your blood pressure CALM DOWN



And I've been one-starred by worse, tis merely a flesh wound.

I've got some white widow, white rhino, ak-47, nl x bb, and a delightful mix of some assorted others by chimera. Which would you like?

the devs have really been tight-lipped about the "combat revamp" and we'll all just have to wait and see...

Well, they have not told the Carbineer correspondent what is coming. Nova, didn't you notice the other correspondents giggling behind your back on Test Center this week?

That kinda scares me.


Devs to Novamarine: "We took away the Laser Carbine and gave it to Rifleman, made more sense to let them have it."

Novamarine to Devs: "Redrum! Redrum!"
