Thread: A new Elite Rifle, or an overhaul to the current T21, and im talking about the way it looks, lol.
Dev's, Game Designers, and Graphic artists, according to a Dev, perform different roles and that role ONLY.
Geez, did it not bother anyone else how the T21 looks?!? It looks like im a retard lugging around his huge ROUND ORTHOPEDIC PENCIL, and that it may be, considering all the misses I get nowadays I look like i go prone and make "Bang!" "Bang!" noises while pretending to shoot pencil lead at the target.
Needs new looks, gaws it's horrible, looks like a humangous dried used tampon.
Look like a rotten carrot.
Looks like an uncircumcized.............ack...
It looks like I put a big condom over my Laser Rifle.
I suggest, not something like a M82, (which is what I actually want but it will be too realistic that it will get boring) but something that Rifleman, also known in this game as Sharpshooters, and sharpshooters are essentially Snipers, won't be embarrassed to carry around. AKA make it LOOK like a sniper's rifle, though it obviously don't funtion as one.
A recent conversation typed out as best to my knowledge as I can:
Commando Friend: Hey, check this out! The Acid Rifle!
Me: Whoa! Cool, not bad...
Commando Friend: And this! Flamethrower!
Me: Damm dude, it looks like that will kill any rebel just from the sight of you wielding it, well, CHECK THIS OUT! *Opens up inventory and equips T21*
Me: Heh heh, finally got me one..
Commando Friend: ........
Me: ..........
Commando Friend: ..........(0_o).....
Me: ???.....
Commando Friend: LOL...
/end reenactment
That is NOT the kind of response I would like, lol.
What does a t-21 look like? Our server hasnt got them yet. *grumble grumble*
Guys..............the rifle looks fine, be concerned about how they keep changing the stats on it?!?!?!
I dont care if it has a freegin sweat sock on the end of the barrel at this point JUST DONT CHANGE THE RIFLE AGAIN!!! If the max damage is ANY lower than 340/440 the rifle is FREEGIN USELESS....
*throws himself out the unopened window*
However I would suggest newer rifles for the rifleman tree why cant we have better rifles than the T-21, Maybe going up the Sniper tree we can have several different Sniping Rifles just for Sniping, Or maybe A Automatic rifle that shoots at 2secs on another part of our tree..anyway there is room for growth for this..
Theres nothing to overhaul. The T-21 is in the movies its in SW RPG books all over. It looks quite accurate to the ones portrayed elsewhere. The problem with a T-21 is that its PRIMARY function is not a 'sniper' rifle. It is a rifle, a Clonetrooper/Stormtroope would and do use them. To be a rifleman is not to only be accurate at a sniping/prone position by definition. THOUGH SWG has made Rifleman out to be a "Sharpshooter/sniper" type profession, and yet failed on that intent. We need a new Rfle for each of the 4 tress in Rifleman. In fact this should apply to every profession. It really does not take that long to model a few weapons and draw them correctly. And damage balance wouldnt be such an issue if there was more of a variety in weapontypes and roles. I wouldnt mind a 20 second SNIPING rifle if it was 85-90% of the time a insta-kill even in PVP. Because if youre on a battlefield or something and you can pull that off you'll be contributing pretty effectively. The T-21 rifle is actually near artillary-class. It's not something that was OFTEN used to snipe with, though possible. There are a **edit**load more Rifles you could use in this game.

That link will give you a nice long list of Star Wars weapons. You can look specifically to the rifles for MANY examples of good new rifles to add.
The thing with SWG is all the weapons you see minus several of the melee weapons are weapons non-hardcore SW fans would recognize from only seeing the movies. They didnt bother putting in weapons from SW. In fact they went so far with their stupidity, whent hey DID put weapons that werent in the movies they didnt even get them from the Expanded Universe books they just MADE up weapons like "Laser Carbine" "Laser Rifle" what kind of crap is that? Elite Carbine...lol..come on.
And I believe the DXR6 is a RIFLE not a Carbine dunno why its a carbine in SWG but ill re-check on that. In fact if I find its a Rifle I will make a post about it.
