Thread: Current Issues *11-11-03*
"The same list that we gave you 3 month ago, and that you yet have to comment about".
1. Give us an automatic rifle: Mix Spraystick with E-11, that would be our answer to pisotls and melee.
2. Make T-21 worth the money and resources
3. Everything already said that never gets done.
This isn't really a feature, but a request:
-Make Take Cover remove the person from radar. It can be an "upgrade" to take cover, like sneak is, so that not everyone can have it.
What everyone else said and...
Fix the bowcaster. Its the wookiee's weapon and they should be using it, make it comprable if not better than the best rifles. We can't wear armour, our advantage should be the best rifle in the game, make it so.
Mob warping and warping while prone are the only true issues. Don't mention the 2.5x melee mod because that is only a pain in the arse thanks to all the mob warping.
Other things that would be nice and need to be "fixed" would be rifles. Both upping the T 21 to a decent gun and fixing the tusken and spraystick.
Congrats on correspondent and all that
2- Prone warping
3- Either fix our skills so they do what they say they'll do, or change the descriptions
4- Balance out the bonuses in the skill tree: it's ridiculous to get a +3 to speed at each level, then when you get master POOF +20
5- Make the T-21 a weapon that people may actually want to use.
This is going rather well and hope we can continue to progress with this level of constructive input.Please make sure to brainstorm everything past and current that you can think of. Once I get a nice good list of our issues, I'll run out to the development team.
I'll let this run for awhile and let you know when we'll get this over to them and also what I'll send. ![]()
I agree with most of the above, especially fixing the T21 (blast damage sounds better) and the prone issue. As a ranger as well, this is particularly frustrating.
This may not be the right thread, but I disagree with the recommendation that take cover should take you off the radar. I think adding a *huge* ranged defense bonus would be the more appropriate fix. After all, that is what you are doing. You are not hiding -it is more along the lines of getting behind something or low enough that you are very hard to hit.
As far as the other associated skills (sneak, conceal shot, surprise shot), if you are far enough out, and as a rifleman you probably are, then there is no "?" or "!" over the animal. In that case, they would not know where you are. However, if you want to truly disappear, it is my admittedly biased opinion you should become a ranger and get conceal.
That's what it is for.

1. mob warping
2. fix each gun so it does the correct damage type and tweak the ones that need tweaking.
3. mob warping
4. fix our broken specials (surpriseshot, cover) and tweak the ones that need tweaking (hs3,startle2).
5. mob warping.
some ideas.... how about a non ae 5x attack? surpriseshot...? i mean it is supposed to require cover.... andwhy do we have 1 rifle for the whole profession but 6 rifles for the rifle line of marksman?
i don't think a speed cap will kill our class... but our damage would need to be upped a bit and the 2.5x melee penalty lowered.
as i wrote this i had mobs warp on me 3 separate times. its rediculous!
otherwise though we kick some serious ass, and not only at master. and come the next patch we will be even stronger. maybe one on one vs certain classes can suck, but i don't think much is really broken except what is written above.
