Thread: New Rifles: Lithanium and Berzerker
Well, one wee little note.
Everybody's going to be running around with T21's anyway, because most people can't afford or can't find anything better. All the elite stuff is in the hands of a tiny minority of the population.

Yes, the Lith Rifle was Kinetic, I got on the 2nd day after the patch. I will check the Rifle and see if it is energy now.
The lithitanium rifle is indeed kinetic* now. It was changed in the hotfix wednesday morning I think. I did see yesterday a tusken king rifle that still showed kinetic damage in the examine window... but the stats on it made me think 'why even bother getting it' when I saw it.
Don't need to talk to Victor (if he got elected in) before killing the executioner at Fort Tusken I guess. Just kill it, then talk to Victor, because Victor only gives you a waypoint to the fort. Not a red one like a mission waypoint, but a general blue waypoint.
*oops.. that's supposed to be energy.

Someone said the berserker is AR0 heat which is TOTALLY WORTHLESS but as usual they can't provide screenshots so I won't believe any of this until someone posts a screenshot.
and yet it is true
the berserker was energy ap 1 but changed during a hotfix the next day on test centre to heat ap0 (which is still useful - any damage type increase is still and increase in our abilities)
we probably will see the first berserkers on live today - some people are already making a trip just for that ^_^
Oh that's just great. Is my memory bad, or did I not see a post a while back where a Dev (or someone quoting a dev) said they could not change the Spraystick and the Tusken energy types because it was not a simple program fix? Yet they can change this one overnight?

This is what I got in response. We can assume the same now applies for the Lith
klawlegna:Tusken Rifle & Spraystick damage types arestill broken.
Keldarin: If you are referring to the desire that these weapons be given Kinetic damage, it's not going to happen for a while (if ever.) Currently ranged weapons have a significant advantage over melee weapons for variety of damage types done. The one hold-out is Kinetic damage.I know that there are a couple ranged weapons that currently do kinetic damage but they are not powerful enough to impact melee players. Until I am able to get a better distribution of damage varieties across melee weapons then Kinetic will remain a protected melee damage type. No profession should be given all the tricks, the idea is to spread roles and utilities across the profession so that they are required to work together to accomplish bigger goals. If you have a target that needs high Kinetic damage output to take down then pick up a melee player for your group.
** I'm still waiting word on from him regarding "Acid" for Spraystick.However, it doesn't look promising for any changes for weapons pre-weapon balance. We canlook for some kind of change durning the weapons balance for probably all the weapons in SWG.
what are the stats for the lithitanium rifle?
and, does it look like a new type of rifle? or does it look like a tusken rifle?
