The CSRs have been updating the knowledgebase for all professions including Rifleman.

It can be accessed through in game with the following steps:

Open your Holocron (CTL H with the default keymap)

Locate and click on the Customer Service button You are now presented with the Knowledge Base.
You can either search by question or by a specific KB entry ID (if you know one) or through the following link:

http://help.station.sony.com/esupport/esupport/consumer/esupport.asp

I would much appreciate it if the Rifleman community would peruse through this and report any
inaccuricies in this thread so we can help the next generation of Rifleman.


If you feel something is missing add it as well please. Thank you.


Theyalso would like everyoneto reply in this thread with feedback while making sureto include the KB

Title (Question) thatwe find a problem with and feel free to add new Questions into the thread as well.

Does my block skill work?


Answer : No


Why?


Answer : Silence.



Not to be a smart -a , but honestly.. Why is this not a major issue with them?

hmmm...

no offence, but have you seen the state of CH after the last couple patches???? wild pets are weak, more bugs than ever and exp is hard to get now... how is that a winner??? I am MCH and am thinking of dropping it for MSL (that at least won't get any attention ever from the dev's)


MBH without pistol or carbineer dabbleing has like 2 useful attacks...


commando got its burns nerfed, that was really the best thing they had going...


next patch carbineers are looking to get some love, their best special got nerfed last patch...


Rifleman have actully been winners the last few patches by not getting nerfed... we mostly work, and that most is better than 90% of the state of other professions...


i did look at the knowledgebase thing for a sec, didn't search or anything, and didn't add anything... but the concept seems nice...

Thank you for kicking off this post klawlegna. The Knowledge Base in game is quickly growing to cover more and more topics and provide the most accurate information possible. On a daily basis entries are published to the Knowledge Base and any errors that are located are fixed and published.fficeffice" />



The exciting thing about the Knowledge Base is that the response time for the entries can be so swift. If you locate an error in the Knowledge Base and bring it to your correspondent we can fix it and have the corrected version in game within hours or even minutes of receiving that information. Any gaps in the Knowledge Base can also be quickly filled.



I’ve asked your correspondent to start a thread like this for two reasons. First the Knowledge Base is very important to us, but right now it is under utilized. I’m working with the Correspondents and the Developers to increase awareness for the Knowledge Base. Soon we’ll be changing some things in game to make the Knowledge Base a lot more visible.



That brings me to my second reason for coming to you – information that is as complete and accurate as possible. When the Knowledge Base becomes more prominent it will be vital for it to be as complete and accurate as possible. We have been working internally and with the Correspondent program to comb the Knowledge Base and add new entries. We would really appreciate it if you could point out anything that you find to be in error, out dated, or simply missing. If you think a question needs to be asked that’s not here please post it, or send it directly to your correspondent. We’ll work to get as many into the Knowledge Base as we can.



Thank you for your support and we really hope that you find the Knowledge Base to be a useful source of information. Please keep in mind that the Knowledge Base is intended to provide information about systems and policies but will not provide direct spoilers.






For quick answers to many game play questions, you may want to first reference the knowledge base located in the Holocron Menu. You can do so by selecting the customer service option and then using the knowledge base tab. We have recently added hundreds of new FAQs and answers and more will be added more daily, so give it a try!

We just finished, over the last few days, a large push of profession topics. Can you tell me what information you were looking for that you did not find?

I just wanted to stop by and say that we’re very thankful for all of the input we have received from the community. Over the last few weeks the Knowledge Base has seen literally thousands of new entries in every conceivable topic. Many of the best questions have come directly from these forums.


fficeffice" />


If you have not yet taken a look at the Knowledge Base I encourage you to do so. With Publish 7 (currently on ffice:smarttags" />Test Center and coming soon to a server near you) the Knowledge Base will be more visible with some User Interface changes that are going in. We also hope to further revamp the User Interface for the Knowledge Base in the next few publishes following 7.



If you have questions regarding game systems, even if you know the answers to those questions or think they are silly, please either post here or work with your correspondent to get those questions to us. The more information we can put in the Knowledge Base the more useful it will be for all of us. We are also interested in feedback on existing entries from typos to incorrect wording or information. Bring those to your correspondent as well.



Finally I want to stress again that the Knowledge Base is one of the items in Star Wars Galaxy that we can update and modify whenever we choose. If you see that the Knowledge Base doesn’t cover a topic, or covers it poorly, get your correspondent’s attention and we’ll look at it. Changes made to entries are instantly visible in game and on the web site.



The link to the knowledge base out of game is http://station.sony.com/kb or you can find it in game by opening your Holocron (CTL H) and clicking on the Customer Service button in the lower left.

what i would really like to see is a comprehensive list of exploits... i did a search on it and all i got was an article saying "if you are unsure if what you are doing is an exploit, please submit a ticket and a rep will get back to you shortly"


i did this cause i've been looking in the forums for clear determination on the use of houses, harvestors, other objects to trap an animal and then go about killing it...


the responce i got was useing an obect to prevent the MOB from attacking you is an issue with pathing, doing this is an exploit and can result in your account being banned. please stop this before you get in trouble... or something to that effect...


also i would like to see how to compete an etertainer mission... i was running missions for a player city and a new player asked me... i searched the forums, did a KB search, and had her try every dance and song she knew... still no mission complete, this is over the span of 45 mins... i ended up tipping her like 10k just cause i felt bad... player cities for the most part are empty, so we were the only ones around... no player search came up good for any of the entertainer professions...


the KB is a good tool but its still in its infancy so there isn't alot in there yet...

We don't maintain a list of exploits becuase then some players would look to that list and try to figure out how to do the exploit, no matter how vague we were.


I can speak to the Entertainer correspondents about those missions and get an entry in the KB for you. Thanks for the feedback!
