Rifleman Archive

*Nerfed our best weapon.

*Half our specials like conceal/cover etc dont work.

*The other half have now also just been nerfed to the point of them being completely useless in pve and pvp.

Verdict: Shattered class filled with X number of players standing around with broken looking T21's....sad.

What do I have to say to this? Try on Bria having the **edit** patch cause you to miss 32 consecutive times without a hit at 60m while crouching with a laser rifle. Oh yeah we don't even have T21s so it's not even worth going that far yet. Also, great our only solo weapon, Suppression is now nerfed as well. I could live with the fact that me being a true riflemen would never win a PvP ever again, but slipping this bulldonkeyhorsecrap into PVE gameplay and not being able to take on mummer thugs without taking severe damage because you can't HIT THEM??? Now that's too far. TOO FAR. Put it back the way it was and leave us the hell alone. I was at least fine like that. Jeeze.

Has anyone else noticed the problems with accuracy? I again think it's bs.

Accuracy has been blown all to **** and specials dont work anymore...not sure why there even there anymore at all, has ANYONE had even one suppression fire/strafe shot work YET since patch??

Suppression only works once now--you can't spam it. So get your first three shots in for a non-BAF, suppression it, then get one or two more freebies in before it runs towards you. After one successful suppression, it becomes immune.

I'm not sure whether if you are in a group , if everyone gets a suppression on a single creature, or if one person suppresses it, it is immune to everyone else's as well. Anyone try this out?

Well, im here on ahazi with no T21's yet. Not that it matters. Ive been hunting with my pistol exclusively now for the past 2 weeks and im seriously considering BH at this time seeing as how I would only need a few boxes left is scouting to get all the prereqs. The rifleman class is just kinda sad at this point and while Im sure everything will be balanced later on, I dont want to have to wait 6 months to PvP. Someone please tell me theres a point to being a rifleman...please reassure me.

Im thinking of nixing Rifleman myself. I been working on it since day 1 for nothing. It started out broken then got worse from there. Since I am 2 boxes shy of Master Scout and have Marksman half mastered I might as well go BH. thats what the Dev's want.

I'm putting rifleman on hold til they fix it, and doing pistoleer. Once they fix rifleman, I'll drop the pistol and continue where I left off. They have to fix rifleman, unless all they want is just a few truly hardcore rifleman. I am a hardcore, but I also want to enjoy the game. And I'm not really enjoying getting my butt handed to me every 5 minutes. Sure I could stand on my left foot only, pat my head with my right hand, target things with my right ring finger, while saying a good luck matra just to hope that I hit something. Maybe someone else finds that fun, not here.

I will never drop rifleman, I really like the idea of being a sniper. But they shoudl bring the T21 back to its pre-patch status, we're supposed to be snipers, we should have a powerful, sniper like, weapon.

The problem is you'll never be a "sniper". You'll just be a guy carrying a rifle because of the silly radar. Until they do something stealth like with our class, we'll never truly be snipers.

Exactly Shock-N-Awe. I want to be a fricken gurellia hiding with a gilly suit on me, waiting for that medic to heal sombody then POP! The medic is down and no body can heal mind, then the next shot will be a ranged death blow and the group scatters for cover trying to find out where the hell those shots came from.

Well at least riflemen get the nice concept of ranged deathblows, but that dosnt matter, we cant operate long range anyways, because Mr. Happy go lucky bounty hunter will just walk up eye shoot you to death.

Another depressing note, I saw a BH using his LLC and the stats on it are 100% better than any T21 rifles. Its speed was way faster *about 3.2 I think* and it's damage was fur suporior.

Hell, in the book NJO:Star by Star *good book* the T21 had a nick name called the "power rifle" and it was chewing through Yuuzahn Vong with their Vodum crab armor *which is quite resistant against lightsabers*.

I having been playing towards a rifleman sense the day I started. Sometimes I feel frustrated playing one, with all the nerfs done. Will I stop playing my rifleman? prob not. I just wish the dev would address some of the issues like concealment and rifle accuracy, and not talk about adding holsters and duel weilding pistoleers. Fix the problems we are having now before moving on to bonus stuff for other classes.

Yes, that would make it better, being able to hide ourselves off the radar, they actaully have to scroll over us to see us. The ghille suits will probably have to work like a rangers conceal though.

I wish I could ger an answer from a dev on the stealth situation. Is there going to be a stealth suit of some type? Is there ever going to be anything that takes players off of radar? Because if not, then there really arent any snipers in the game. Hell, BH's have a better rifle at the moment then we do. Does that shound right? I was in the cantina in espa lastnight watching a BH with only one box in LLC duel someone just to see how much damage he would do in PvP. First shot was over 1K in damage.....thats PvP damage btw. The following shots (2) were 700 and above.

Can a master rifleman whos using a T21 tell me how "good" we are at PvP when we hit master? Please tell me this punishment is worth it.
