Rifleman Archive

After about 6 attempts at PvP, and 6 deaths straight, I have come | | this close to smashing my moniter, ripping out my keyboard, and throwing the SWG cd out my window. Here's how it went. First attempt: I get a suprise advantage, I try to mindshot, miss, next thing I know Im being swarmed by bounty hunters and commandos.. eye shot, eye shot, eye shot, dead. "haha dickhead take that" deathblow. Yeah, this annoys me a little, I think, No problem, just bad luck.

Second attempt: So I'm about halfway out of Bestine and I see a group of rebels, I think what the hell, and I give it a go. Before I can even get a shot off, im incapped. (Yes, it was eye shot AGAIN.)

Third attempt: I'm near the outskirts of Anchorhead, I see a group killing imp missions, I take a look at some possible targets, but I decide not to risk it, next thing I know the combat music blares up, I just start wildy running. I try to get a shot off, miss, and by that time, im already dead. Yup, eyeshot spammage AGAIN.

Ok, what the hell happened there? ANYWAY

By that time I'm REALLY irritated. After a few more attempts, and a few more deaths, I just get SOO mad I just /q out, and now im typing this in the most pissed mood I have ever been in. That's right, I pay 13 bucks a month to get annoyed to a homocidal rage. I'm going to bed now. Thanks SWG, I love you so much.

Sorry about the double post, I hit tab and for some reason it posted.

--EYE--SHOT--

Gets us EVERY time

ynow i HATE the calling of Nerf.....but....no i wont do it, I will opt of the BETTER ALTERNATIVE:

GIVE OTHERS A DEFENSE VS OR A COUNTER MOVE!

Wow, what a brilliant idea, nope they will either nerf it or they wont and cause grief....*sigh*

btw i swear in a year every swg server will all just be filled with nothing but BHs, they leave us no other option with pvp....even though now they are trying to make Commandos the only other option.

"hey lets give commandos over 3k damage per shot, yeah!!, what? what was that? oh the T21 for the riflemen?, yeah that was way overpowered, yeah, i know..... hey wanna order pizza on our break?"

Likely dialogue in the dev camp behind closed doors...

Yup and now Q's on a vacation. If I were him I'd get crackin, we're not paying those guys for nothing, hell over 275,000 players now, they're raking in more than they can handle. I'm against nerfing, by far against it. I do firmly believe in just making everyone better. How about giving riflemen I dunno, ear shot. Actually

Son of a, just happened to me too. Anyhow, it doesnt neccessarily make sense that BH's get eyeshot in the firstplace, riflemen targeting the head and all. I dunno, things are so fooked up at the moment it feels like a drawn out beta 3. After looking at all the classes, everything is fairly on a scale of - Bountyhunters/commandos in the 1st place column, pistoleers, carbiners.. wait.. no I forgot bountyhunters get mondo skills using pistols/carbines in the first place... I'd like to know where a rifleman hybrid is, honestly.

If BHs and Smugglers get pistol/carbine enhancing skills in their trees, maybe rifleman should be hybrid with another class, I dunno, maybe ranger should give riflemen bonuses or something. I'm almost master rifleman myself, with only 2 tiers in the concealment tree (which mind you, half of it doesnt work vrs npcs, and NONE works on players, a very dissapointing fact seeingour FORTE is to snipe things...), and I still find it amazingly hard in pvp even WITH a pre patch 211-595 dmg T21.

Heres another thing, why are T21s the hardest to make? Rare crappy crystals to make a gun that is easily outpowered by a pistol, carbine, heavy weapon, lightning cannon, which mind you require NO special doodads to create, that also pretty much hardens the blow. "Congradulations, you are now a novice rifleman, you better get that laser rifle fixed you'll be using it for quite a while".

Conceal sneak etc doesnt work against players, well theres another 50% of our skills gone to waste. We tend to miss alot more since this last patch, oh of course the carbiners/pistoleers do too, but is it just me or is a 1.5 speed pistol or a 3.5 carbine just a wee bit faster than a 7.5 rifle?

Heres yet another thing that really disturbs me. Carbine range is fine, its a medium weapon, but holy crap, either the entire pistoleer population are secretly jedis or the devs really fooked they're range up. They dont get jack for penalties when shooting anywhere from 1 to 64 meters, they fire at a good, oh .2 seconds a shot at master pistoleer, need I say more?

Kevin O' Hara, I seriously hope you brought your staff with you on that well deserved vacation, we're paying for a game that works, not beta 3.

Welcome to the wonderful world of SWG.

Play what you want! Just don't enter PvP if you are a Rifleman... orsolo tough monsters... or play ina group who all shoot on other pools besides mind...

Mmmmman snipercan hit an person in the head (if we aim carefully) from 62 meters with an sniper rifle... and an bounty hunter can hit us in the EYE from 62 meters with an pistol...

I dont understand why u whining about losing to a commando and a Bh. Their meant to beat us in pvp. They spend double the points that we have. so suck it up. So wat if u lose 2 a commando or Bh. If u dont like being a sniper and using tactics than be a Bh and commando[Nowdays due to fix] like everyone elseif youlike to pvp so much.

All im saying is we should be the only class hitting MIND with our specials......the BH eyeshot wastes action not mind..... so let me get this.... a rifleman has to waste alot of mind to get a shot off while also taking eyeshots as well... so our next shot we dont have enough mind..... makes sense.....
