Guys, we keep going through this. The Devs have stated that there will never be an increase in range for riflemen or any other ranged profession.


If they cut our speed in half they should double our damage.


Besides, a speed cap isn't the answer if they think rifle needs a nerf. The T21 is what we use 99.9% of the time and the speed is so slow on it a cap isn't much of an issue.


Since they won't double our damage, they need to make sure that any master rifleman with a stocked 7.4 speed T21 will hit the cap or we will be crippled. Speed slices on any of our rifles will be a complete waste.







it seems that most ppl calling for nerfs are PvP'ers... so the jawa is the weapon of choice here...


put the cap at 2 secs, but double the damage, well is pointless... we still do the same DPS, and honestly how many creatures in this game could stand 30k worth of overall damage with SS2 and the 3 free rounds we get off???


i say no to any speed cap, i'm useing a high grain, fully automaticassult rifle with heavy armor peircing capabilities... its not like i'm useing a bolt action sniper rifle...


as for the range beyond 64m... well i got hit by one of the drx-6b the other day at 80m... no latency involved, we were both standing still... the max range on that is 85m... turrets shoot 80m... CM's toss poision from 75m and that travels through walls, and down 3 stories...

The conditions for me to accept a Speed cap.


1) The developers give a definition of each profession and what their role is.(In that they will say that we are snipers)


2) We gain stealth from PC's while in cover.(ie can not be seen at all, only time they have a chance to see us is if they are looking in our direction, we fire a shot, and we fail a role for cover chance while firing.)


3) We are always off the radar, us and only us are off the radar. Another perk of being a sniper, the off radar effect would be only if a rifle is equiped and you are a novice rifleman.


Then you could slap a speed cap on me, Crap you could slap a 5 second cap if ya wanted.







I like this but maybe make it a little higher so we don't have dabblers maybe master. I know you said with only a rifle in hand but whose to say I just get novice rifleman, have a rifle equiped and run up to you unequip it and attack with their weapon of choice. Otherwise it is a good idea. Just move it up higher is all I have to say.

speed cap was an issue a dev brought up once and then removed because it would make rifle worthless. it shouldnt be allowed to happen.
