Pikeman Archive

ok new to screenshot thing but im doing it right now - so will take however long it takes - im doing it so i have the last result of the previous page on top of the new - that make sense?

Rifleman don't have center of being, and so I think that ranged profession defenses work differently than melee profession defenses. If you use center of being as a pikeman, you will be hit much less than if you don't use it.

I think that pikeman defenses are tied into center of being, and if you don't use center of being you aren't using all of your defense mods. Try your experiment with CoB on.

Just my opinion.

Im pretty **edit** sure that riflemen are meant to be easier to hit - that was the tradeoff for the damage multiplier being taken away.

anyway guys - sorry i cant do screenies the files are 600k and it wont take larger than 200kb - and i dont have photoshop to edit and im pretty unco-ordinated when it comes to computer stuff so dont know how to resize - unless someone want to give me an easy online tutorial or wants me to email the screenies to them im gonna have to skip on screen shots - and according to Antares apparently this 'problem/bug?' has been noted elsewhere

posted this on riflemen boards - they said its true and a bug- instead of being easier to hit they were made harder to hit by accident.

oh well doesnt really suprise anyone does it?

nah dude its not his melee mods that are hellping - i.e when i have my pike equipped i have 165melee defence when i have my rifle equipped i have 156 defence - what i am saying is despite the = defence i am much harder to hit while rifle is equipped- despite the fact that the devs said i would be easier to hit - seems like a bug - probably wait till the magic combat rembalance shuffle thingy mabob

its really sad that players have to run these trials to find out effects of modifiers and what not, when the devs clearly have no idea. im all for a game without a written-in-stone rulebook, but c'mon.

Click on the screenshot. Open with PAINT. Control+W. Set the vertical and horizontal both to about 90%.

This has worked for every screenshot I've ever taken.

Enjoy.

Just another testimony...

I started working on rifleman shortly before the 2.5x modifier was taken out. I noticed the day it was changed I rarely got hit when using rifle against a melee enemy, and would get wailed on when fighting with polearm. It's actually easier to fight some things nowwith a spraystick, kneeling within 2m-4m of the target instead of fighting with myMaster Pikemanskill. Helluvalot more accurate too.

Yeah, something is definately wrong there.

But the to-hit was only supposed to be changed for riflemen, not carbineers, too...?
