TH:

The vision for the rifleman has not changed. They are still intended to be the long range snipers and that will stay the same......

Please explain how that is possible.

Four main skills of the sniper are Accuracy, Range, Camo, and Observation.

Accuracy isn't much of an issue other than at Master levels at least we have Pistols being rather accurate at max range just as we have Rifles accurate at min range.

Range. This is non-existant nor likely to increase. Typical sniper ranges are 600-700m. That is 10X greater than current max. At the ranges we can engage in you would not even want to use a scope. The scope restricts field of view and with magnification it actually makes it difficult to hold on target when the target is close and moving.

Camo. Other than ConcealShot there is no real chance to use camo. Part of the snipers role is to remain unseen. However in PvP everyone can see everyone else with the use of radar. In PvE there is ConcealShot of course.

Observation. Not sure how this would be added. Part of the snipers role is to observe and monitor the enemies movement while remaining hidden. The closest you could come to implementing something like this is if you had snipers able to hide from radar. In that case you could use observation as a counter to that and enable those with a high skil in this an increased chance of detecting those that are hidden.

A couple more things about snipers. Their motto is "one shot, one kill". That is an ability that could be terribly unbalancing. So is highly unlikely to be added.

Also right now Riflemen have one true sniper type attack, ConcealShot. SniperShot isn't a true sniper move since snipers aren't usually restriced to only being able to kill someone that is already unconcious. So the name aside, SniperShot isn't a sniper move.

But Rifle also have four AoE attacks. AoE attacks are not sniper moves at all. A sniper uses precission shooting, not spray fire. If Riflemen are suppose to be only snipers, then wouldn't all AoE attacks have to be removed?

Though the sniper is a staple in a number of games, and lets face it how many FPS's don't have a sniper rifle, it doesn't really translate to SWG.

So what is wrong with making Riflemen what their skills and the game mechanics limit them to? Infantryman. The Rifleman is the basic unit of an Infantryman. The word is basically interchangeable. The US Marines even call their Infantrymen, Riflemen.

Given the limitations placed on combat ranges, no one shot kills, etc. Being a sniper is not really possible.

Regrettably, this is par for the course ... promise something that you realize is of great importance to the community, and then admit quite soon thereafter that you don't really have the resources to deliver it.

Promises are easy, execution is hard ... if you're not ready to do the hard part, don't make the promise. Not exactly rocket science, but apparently a revolutionary concept at SOE HQ.

Fantasticpost Golathe. Really hope some Devs take a look. Also hope it gets copied other places so everyone will have a chance to see it.

Good work!

Bugs
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Whisper Bird missions on Yavin still bugged/duds

2: Rubber band effect of dismount still going strong (some times up to 150m from dismount spot)

3: Up command in /movefurniture up xx still very flakey (hardly ever works for me)

4: Animation on harvesters still flakey (mainly heavy mineral)

5: Factory Crates of mines stiil read 0

6: Mine Fields not working at all for Rebels

7: After "storing" speeder bike it is still in the world and you can still be on it. Calling it again causes another instance of it.

Imbalances
----------------------------------------------------

1: Faction Turrets still FAR FAR FAR too weak both in damage and hitpoints

2: Rifleman Jawa rifle need a HUGE nerfing to 1/2 power or less

3: Combat Medic or DOC badly needs AREA poison / Disease cure

4: All GEO weapons need to be taken out of the game or nerfed big time

5: Armor needs to be completely redone and PLEASE do not add any super loot armor (ris) this causes HUGE Imbalances

6: Total number of Jedi needs to be regulated to no more then 20%-30% of server population

7: Cost of repair on Speeder, and Swoops is actually more then it cost to make a new one. Now its cheaper to buy CRATES of speeder and throw them away when they blow up - desposable bikes is that the intention here?

General Problems
----------------------------------------------------

1: All new content (GEO Cave / Corvett) is being added for only elite combat people. This is a total outrage and needs to be delt with!

2: Moons such as Rori and Talaus need some harder POIs to attract trafic and people to them. POIs on these moons pose no challange for elite combat players.

NOTE: This list is just the beginning, I will be bumping and adding me as I go!
