Rifleman Archive

If they place the same rules for npc's and creatures about not shooting through things then i dont mind, but my bet is that it will only affect players.

As was mentioned before in the swimming expample, the npc's are not bound to the same rules players are. What i will look forward to is attempting to shoot your target, being told that you cannot see it, but in responose to your trying to shoot it, it will aggro you, shotting through whatever was blocking your shot.

This does sound like a bug fix more than nerf, although riflemen need every exploit they can get in PvE. But, if I can't fire through a mountain, will I be able to fire over a low rock at the huge MOB behind it?

And, when I rubberband back 10m after going prone, and that causes me to go downhill, does it fire if I'm still in range and...oh nevermind, I guess I could go to the TC, or just wait for it.

I think this will make it more fun for all of us. I have complained in the general forum several times that I can shoot through mountains. If the worlds of SWG were round all we would have to do is shoot the other players on the other side. This will make it more interesting for us. The first time I played this game I tried to hide in a ditch against the thing I was shooting at. Wasnt a very good idea. This will make sniping a lot more fun I think. If you are into machine gunning then this should be great for that also. Hide in a ditch. Assault the other player with SS2 and then climb back down the ditch. Or if you have to run then run along inside the ditch.

I feel bad for the rebs at Anchorhead. There are so many ditches surounding Anch that it will be possible to launch assaults very easily now.
