Try getting to pistol specialist using the same CDEF u started out with. That is what it is like to get to master unarmed. Don't come in here and flame me because you are past unarmed and working on your elite profession all of those just working up the unarmed tree now know exactly what I am talking about. This is absolutely rediculous and something should be done soon. This has nothing to do with us being overpowered or being able to kill to easily. All of the other armed brawler trees will kill their targets 10 times easier with their weapons than an unarmed person. This is exactly like trying to get specialist with a CDEF Pistol/Carbine/Rifle. Either give us back our vibroknucklers or increase our damage. This cannot continue like it is.

Working on unarmed 4 atm, 20k xp to go. It's not exactly easy that's for sure.

Wardy, you're right. That is almost exactly what it is, expecp there are small jumps in damage, but in the end, you're doing about as much damage as a far top of the line CDEF...which sucks. It really leaves unarmed people at a disadvantage till they can get to Novice TKA.

Just got back to novice TKA, even through master unarmed was a pain unable to use the VK's fully but the speed advantage did help. Just used a lot or berserk and the VK's and lots and lots of stimpacks.

Also if you know a master doc with enhancer packs, see if you can get your stats boosted. Had this done and all stats apart from mind were around the 2k mark. This made it a lot of fun for a few hrs (while the enhancers lasted, only way got incapped was when the mind pool ran out). Was taking on yellow con lesser bobcats, scyks, mutant rats, cupa, rogue bantha, using just beserk and the VK's, no special moves. Managed to get about 25k xp in 2 hrs. Did end up with over1000 wounds and 400 battle fatigue, but never noticed till the enhancers wore off.

The rest of the time just ran moundmite missions, and killed every blue con I saw on the way to and from the mission. Even though the blue cons are only like 79 xp, you could easily kill20+ on way to and from missions, so it adds up quickly. If youare skilled inother weapons mount these when choosing the missions, you get higher difficulty missions, which in turn have more creatures at thelairs.

It is really not that bad once you get down to it and stop watching the xp counter. This is the second time I have gone all through unarmed in brawlerand got to novice tka. yep took longer this time (could use the VK's fully during master first time I went through it), but still managable if it is the route you want (or must take).

Also as you are going unarmed avoid grouping, or if you do group with a medic who need medic xp and will not attack the targets. They will get lots of xp just healing you up after every few lairs.

How I ask HOW is it possible that i am 50m away from someone and I get told my target is out of range.

Funny but they can shoot me.

I,a Rifleman am kited. I a person who as they quote is deadly at long range cannot even attack.

3 times tonight this has happened. I have cable and I cannot believe this. I have defended the Devs on many occaisions. 1 time i was chasing someone. 50m i was and i was getting out of range. He then ran me into 5 of his mates. Guess what happened to me then?

Also later that night I was owned by a Krayt Pistol who used last ditch. Last ditch hit for 921 points at 60m

I am hoping the changes on Test atm will help this cause at the moment I an quite upset at the situation.

I use tactics but it is hard when it takes several shots from me and only one from them.

Don't mind me too much... Just venting...

What does that have to do with pistols that are more accurate than rifles at long ranges?

Ummm...Krayt pistols fire that 900 random HAMlast ditch pvp damage every 1.5 seconds and that's a generous estimate in the rifleman's favor. You can't slap heals on and fire your RIFLE every second at the same time. Just firing or just healing, yes, but otherwise it's not plausible. The determining factor here is who gets the first shot. A good laser or t-21 ss2 still rivals last ditch....if you shoot first you can win.

" Learn how to heal yourself while fighting."

sounds very funny, as the pistol made 900+ damage, and i have 750 Health and 750 Action, i don't believe that healing will help me (getting about 200 each per heal).
i really understand that this is rediculous, and i hope that these sizuations will get fixed (means, it'll get a bit fairer then now) with the next patch.
Anyway, i would like to see that a rifleman can shoot from greater distances then only 64m - man, if that 50m thing would have happened to me i wouldn't be able to play SWG because i would have my monitor thrown out of then window, grrrr...

How about fighting stormies and the moment I fire the first shot they start sprinting into the sunset gathering friends while I run after them trying to back into combat range? At times the combat system seems to have no other goal than the complete and utter annoyance of players.

I have had the 50m but still out of range problem before, I typically see it when the enemy is in motion. I have Dual-T3 here, so it's definitely not network lag. I can only think to blame it on server lag (which seems to have grown considerably since that "improve server stability" patch).
