Yeah, its kind of a lame thing but snipers snipe. Much easier to miss that sniper in PvP too when he only fires one round.



Sometimes, when I /kneel I only fire one round...but I think every time a rifleman fires it should be one round.

I think he's talking about the burst fire you see when using normal shots and shooting from a prone position. I agree. 1 shot at all times, not necessarily 1 shot 1 kill.

Lol...it's just the graphic for prone position. Sure, you fire 5 or 6 shots from prone, but if you're paying attention, you'll notice he only one of them actually hits and does damage. Do you see 5 or 6 message numbers above the mob's head? No. Just the graphic for each position...so relax =)

Lol, I know that. But if they've already got the graphics for solo shots they might as well fix it.

Yeah now that you mention it...I agree, the graphics should only fire one shot!

I think you missed a good point Kalic.


That one of the advantages to being a "sniper" is lost when the enemy turns and sees a hail of lasers coming out of the bush you are hiding in.


Agreed.

my normal shots sometimes do 3 damages at once? if i one shot someone i only fire one shot....if i only hurt them i fire many. they are not BOLT action rifles people they are blasters they have a better rate of fire....kinda like a automatic rifle M16 per say?

yer. fire one shot only at all positions. snipers dont use full auto ffs... and give us a decent rifle which fires the same rounds as the tusken.. makes its harder to spot the shots.

urm no... this is todo with the firing animations m8.. it may LOOK like you are firing off 5 rounds at a target.. but it is in fact only one shot.. its just graphical candy to make battles look more interesting.. the devs stated this ages ago. Fine for pistols and carbs.. not really suitable for rifles..

if you are trying to tell me that the number of blaster shots that comes from your gun is the accurate representation of what shots you have actually made, i tihnk i will start to cry... IF however you are master rifleman and are firing around 2/3 shots a sec.. then NO we are not talking about this.. we are talking about the graphical effect.. remember when you first started as a rifleman and youd shoot like 5 shots prone.. well ONLY ONE EVER DOES ANY DAMAGE.. if may look like 3 hit.. but is it fact only one shot.. therefore why have a full auto burst gfx effect? they added it to make battles exciting.. this is not CS.. one queued action/shot = one action/shot against target.. independant of what your screen actually shows you firing..
