Rifleman Archive

Guys!!!.......Just chillout and wait and see what happens. Thats whats wrong with these forums, everyone is always jumping to conclusions. The changecould bejust like someone else has stated, it could be purely for looks with no damage increase. I was a Master Pistoleer before going Rifleman, been a Commando and have worked my way to Bounty Hunter on two seperate occasions, and all I see is whining. As I see it now, Rifleman can only get better in my opinion. Let the DEVS do what they do, if they screw it up then youcomplain, but not before.

Ooh ooh, can we get those hunting nest things that outdoorsmen get? You know the portable treehouse so critters can't attack you.

How about we get the ability to have our rifle strapped to our back when not fighting, or a mountable one that sits on top of a R 4 droid...it'll drum up DE business.

Why is it people spend so much time on the forums whining about the perks another class gets instead of focusing on how they can provide the community with positive input for the developers and offering tips to other players on how to enhance their own ????

There are several tips pages, and a few of them are stickied. However most n00bs or inquisitive persons don't bother and simply ask the question anyway...it gets answered and then eaten by the forum. As for constructive ideas those are normally put on the discussion forum and potentially a link is put here although I never really pay attention to how often that happens.

Besides those, it is always easier to use dev tracker and ridicule/rant. Basically it is just mocking (my ideas) or envy. Add on to that the fact that novice pistoleers are better then novice riflemen by leaps and bounds and you will get a somewhat hostile reception when talk about adding needless content is brought up. Especiallywhen there are plenty of overall game bugs that primarrily hurt us and these are never addressed or only done so in passing. It has been how many months and several servers have not even gotten all of our weapons and yet the pistoleers are requesting new ones and it is getting a response. Meanwhile our members begging for a T-21 get shunned. Whining should be expected and, I feel,condoned to those affected thanks to that.

nice post psycho =). agree to the full extent

was master rifleman, sadly i gave it up cuz im doing the holo's =) want to be a jedi. one thing i do feel that is lacking is the amount of weapons all proffesions get and how they're distributed. in the marksman and brawler tree's you get the certifications for nearly every single weapon you can weild. then you recieve the certification for onle 1 more weapon at NOVICE of the next level proffesions. it seems pretty stupid to me. either they shoudl spread out the weapons slightly up the tree's or just add more weapons. atleast one more certification at master of any of them. back to the topic of the double pistols i have no problem with it. would look sweet as hell i think =). they would have to boost the skill of double weilding to that top of one of the trees like 0040 and you can weild two pistols of your choice and the two pistols you get auto modify to do like 5/8's there normal stats so in turn it will make them better but not that much better.

again as usual im sorry for rambling. I like to say one big long sentence =)

I imagine, at least I hope, that there will be a limitation as to what pistols can be dual weilded. Maybe they will make the possibility of the dual weild something questable, and then the actual pistols that can be used questable as well. Otherwise every pistoleer and their borther will be 2-fisting.

I have no qualms about someone 2-fisting as long as it is 1: extemely difficult (big -'s on accuracy), 2: rare, and 3: hard as **** to getthe certification/ability.

There are so many balance issues that need to be ironed out prior to adding little fancy extras like dual weilding. My question though, is what spurious thing canriflemen ask for that would look wicked cool, but really not change the gameplay.

Nothing wrong with Pistoleers getting a dual wield. I didn't see anywhere the claim that it would also double damage. It may just be a graphic. It's down the road. Which probably means 6 months the way things are going.

You could put your eye out!

Gotta agree with the point about complaining.. wait until the dual gun thing arrives - then see if it is infact unbalancing..

You never know - they might give us radar stealth at master if they are thinking about doubling a pistol weilders damage output..

I WANT MY **edit** GHILLIE SUIT! eheh

The devs have always stated that dual pistols for pistoleer is something they'd like to see. It will happen eventually.In my opinion

1. It will not happen soon.
2. It will not make them any more powerful. It will probably look cool, but won't be any more efficient than shooting with one pistol. There are lots of ways to balance it so that it's not more powerful. (extremely reduced accuracy, increased HAM, etc.)
3. Worrying about pistols on a rifle board is counterproductive. I don't want them posting about rifles over there, except in direct comparisons to pistols, and even then it often degenerates into flames and cries for nerfs which no one wants.

Let them have their dual pistols. It would look cool....

Jamga

hmm so maybe a year from now they'll be able to have two pistols and you have no idea what the modifier for that will be. k.

yeah i'm not sweating it too much. hmm yeah, not at all actually.
