Thread: Sneaky Sniper or Mr. Heavy Machine Gunner?
1. I feel we are someplace in the middle of both
2. If by heavy gunner you mean standard infantry man (M16 or M4 totting soldiers) yes. Otherwise I feel we need to be such people.
3. In this event I'd say Heavy Gunner all the way.
4. If sniper, yes more range, but ensure that turrets get extended to be capable of handling us at a distance or people will cry nerf.
5. Just give us all the basics (acid, cold, enegy, heat, kinetic, stun)

Right now the tree is basically set up for both heavy gunner and sniper (however unbalanced).
What are your thoughts on this? And if it was to be changed what do you think should be done?
1. As our skill tree is set up now. Do you feel we are snipers or heavy gunners?
2. Do you feelwe should be leaning more towards heavygunners or snipers in our skill tree? Our should we balance them out more, keeping them both?
3. If you had to pick one or the other what would you want, 100% heavy gunner or 100% sniper?
4. If the profession is built more on sniping, do you think we should have more range? What should we have?
5. If the profession is built more on gunner, do you think we should have more damage types? What should we have?

Heavy Gunner

Heavy Gunner. The whole combat system of SWG does not allow for any sort of sniping.
3. If you had to pick one or the other what would you want, 100% heavy gunner or 100% sniper?
100% Heavy Guner
4. If the profession is built more on sniping, do you think we should have more range? What should we have?
In that case a range increment would be absolutely nescessary. 128m at least. Other than That, sniping is pratically impossible, doe to fast movement.
5. If the profession is built more on gunner, do you think we should have more damage types? What should we have?
Rifleman already got a great amount of damage Types and for specific reasons, Devs will not allow for a Kinetic Rifle. I would say our Damage types are sufficient.

Our cold damage type is useless. And things are so resistant to energy that we have to twiddle our thumbs while the TKA's of the group basically solo some things.
However this is not a rifleman issue, the game mechanics themselves need to be fixed. Then we will be ok along with the other professions that currently don't work very well.
i see us as beingone ofthe only working professions we are snipers in pve and gunners in pvp to try sniping in pvp would not be possibal and heavy guning in pve would likley get you killed unless you lowered the mob with concealshot which would be viewed as a sniper ability
i belive any one who is currently crying nerf rifleman is in a curently broken profession we are in league with tkm and comando just with diffrent tactics all that needs to be done to this profession is to fix the specials , block and maby change cover slightly to be more usefull!
i realy hope to see the devs fix all other broken professions to bring them more in line with us tkm and comando and not to limit our damage or speed but i feel we will soon be the profesion most laughted at as the devs see some one who can have an advantage in pvp and nerf it into the ground take ch for example the only exception to this being tkm because the devs know the majority of players are tkm and they would lose a lot of cash if they piss off the tkm
hmm think ive gon a little off topic lol
1. sniper
2. sniper
3. sniper
4. i think we should raise the max range depending on the rifle
5. 1 gun for every damage type would be kinda fun to try.
also, i think riflemen would be alot more fun if, when we have a scope equiped to our rifle, we be able to go into "sniper mode" and look through the scope, zoom in/out, and fire that way. not just click, attack. spam specials and wait. but actually be able to BE A SNIPER for once. and we should be able to equip stuff to increase our range and accuracy even more, like the guy who shot down that helicopter in "S.W.A.T."

However our weapons are definatly on the conventional rifle line as such our class should be a long range conventional rifles. Snipers and normal rifleman (WWII type rather than assault - although it should be noted with assault that whilst they are fully automatic they are horrendously accurate if you let off a clip all at once - then have the reload time. So a proper Assault rifle user will have a lowish RoF ) so accurate and high power with lowish RoF even at master.
