Thank you, if you dont agree with my proposal I am sorry, but we are going to need to shoot for something in the middle, not getting it back to what it was.

Bump this! Worked to fix the T21... Please help us... you are our only hope

Whats the point? The Devs dont care they dont play the game, they just cash a check. If they didnt read the 15 page thread they arent going to read this one. We might want too just take it like an Inmate so they dont Nerf our classes other abilities, like TakeCover, usefulness of Prone, Suppriseshot, concealedshotect ect. Might as well keep what we got, because these devs dont give a rats ass what happens as long as on the 1st and 15th that check hits the bank.

They did read the 20 page thread, they just nerfed it in the coming day

HAM's need to be taken into account with their nerfs... there was NO mention of this when nerfing our damage and ARV , this has to be the worst part of it. I don't want to pay 160 mind so i can shoot an improved DLT20a

They asked us our opionion so they can say, "After careful discussion with the community, we decided to go ahead with our original plan as we had no intention of listening to our consumer base and nerf as intended." This is what's in Wednesday's patch according to Blair:

forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=366368#M366368

T-21 Rifle changes:

Reduced armor piercing class from heavy to light

Increased fire rate

Reduced maximum damage

Increased chance to hit

I can't believe this, I was so psyched about the T-21 being fixed. I've been putting off getting one until it did get fixed.

Instead of a Barret .50 cal, we're getting a .22lr

There is only one solution to this which is to nerf all other weapons besides the T21

Seriously ....... before doing anything one must take ALL professions and ALL weapons into consideration and THEN do the balancing to ALL professions and ALL weapons simultanously.

Here I suspect one hand doesn't know what the other one is doing. I would guess that the devs are to fragmented and don't communitcate with eachother properly. If they did, such a thing wouldn't happen.

One thing is for sure ...... they don't play the game.

I know it was a suggestion you had to make... but it's sooo stupid, because I feel like if we compromise, that's the end of it. It's like we're agreeing that they're right. Blah, I'm taking this way too personally, but with good reason I think. Being a rifleman isn't FUN like this, honestly.

being a rifleman sucks

talking to the devs about this is like trying to explain things to an errant child

"Ok we'll talk to you in simple language that you can understand. The T21 no work, our range is screwed up, we no like getting knocked down while prone"

"okwell we'llnerf you, what do you think of that? (see holocron's msg)"

If these things actually go through I'm gonna get out of the sinking ship that is rifleman while I still can

**edit** you hardly see t21s THAT often and when pistoleers see you they are definitely going to attack u wanna know y? cause they know they can absorb your shot heal their bleed in one app of first aid...bleh or better yet since u probably won't even touch em they can kill you in 6 seconds and get an easy 22 faction points... fine lower the high end damge leave the min alone leave our ap3 it's a rifle ...our only rifleman rifle which is inaccurate as hell (thats fine not complaining about that) and is suppose to do high damage WHEN it hits. now we have a sub par gun to a laser rifle or based on Enott's latest post nerf t21 slightly better dlt20a http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=rifleman&message.id=7113&page=7

well w/e i'm done payin for this bs if they don't fix this soon.

doctor/master sprinter (aka nonmaster rifleman)

I agree that the T21 is to nerfed. Nice of them to ask us then not listen.

" Hi kids, would you like to stay up till 10pm tonight, oh were not gonna let you, we just wanted to knoiw if that's what you wanted."

HMMMM what a joke.

Update 8-21-2003:

Hi this is the team, we would heartfully like to inform you that we are nerfing Laser Rifle for Rifleman, Laser Rifles will no longer be usable by Rifleman whatsoever as we are removing the certs for this weapon when you reach Rifleman, actually, we are removing certs for every weapon you qualified for in Marksman Rifle tree. The finest Rifle you can wield will now be the CDEF Pistol. When you reach Rifleman, your elite weapon will be a Combat Survival Spoon in which you can only 1) Examine. All other updates that will improve gameplay and balance will be postponed INDEFINETELY. We love to listen to our beloved customer base and enjoy the weed we are smoking from the money you are giving us, its a real easy life, we release BETA, you pay us. Please keep sending us all of your bug reports and CSR tickets, we have finally replaced CSR staff from untrainedmonkeys to Professionally Trained mail deleters, which is just about all we do during our clock hours. Thank you have a nice experience playing SWG.

P.S. We all hate the Rifleman class, bye!
