Thread: Sushi Sunday: Open Chat with Ack (edited for clarity)
1. Is there any chance we could get a shot that does somewhere between legshot and snipershot damage with no warmup? (I would accept having to go prone for full benifits, and an accuracy penalty if kneeling)
No idea currently - we are not slated for current development so I feel such a event is a low possibility
2. is there any encouraging word on making cl54 with a box cert weapons have better binifits than a genric cl54 weapon?
Yes and No - they said that the master weapon would be better... but since then no word
1) In your opinion what is the current role of Riflemen in SWG?
Badly mauled but essentially the opener to combat. I would love to see a broader role but the devs seem to like where we are at the moment. Going to be be pressing for new abilities to help our damage dealer role soon. (need ideas - the commandos already are asking for armor break)
2) Is Rifle, without other combat professions supplementing it, a viable standalone profession in the post-CU world? why or why not?
Pretty much no profession is standalone anymore. Without a 2nd combat profession to pump up the CL you will forever be limited to cl 54++ as anything higher then CL 60 will insta cap you unless you are grouped. If you mean grouped then it is viable but just barely. You would have to use our initial advantage to the greatest effect (hurt them before they aggro) and use foods and buffs and any other advantage you gain to best effect. (IE: people who understand completely how to play the game - using rifleman as the sole combat profession is very tough(talk to rangers for more help in this area))
3) What is your favorite Rifle template, using any skills you like (even jedi if you desire)?
MRM/MC/MCM4000 or MRM/MC/MM/pistols3404
4) What can be done (by you or us) to help make Rifleman a more enjoyable playing experience for all?
Hmmm tough question - I have no real answers for this. I really like the idea of creating profession specific missions that are iconic, have cool rewards and are fun
5) What possessed you to open yourself up to oddball questioning from all over the map like this?
The community needs to know and trust their representative and it's fun ^_^
1- What past Rifleman Forum posters do you feel contributed alot to the boards and what do you think were their great contributions?
Waste, klawlanga, Kezia, all the psycos ^_-, cpl_fisher, and lots of others... basically to many to name
Klaw gave our profession definition in the beginning, Waste lead us through the dark times, Kezia - always good for a laugh, PsycoJug always a fount of useful information, Roscannon - the testing machine, Lam - the 2ndary testing machine, Fisher - always helping the younglings. etc... Like I said way to many to count.
2- What other MMORPG's have you played if any?
Kingdom of the Winds (love that game), EQ, COH, Linage
3- How long were you a Rifleperson?
Since about 1 week after launch - did not master till the new year though.
4- Besides Rifleman what is your most favorite profession?
Hmmm, I love SL, Commando, CM, and Smugglerfor combat professions (Play them all on different servers)
I also love being an architect and dancer - I started with those professions precu preholo grind along with rifleman and I still have a big soft spot for them.

Will you ever give quest details for getting rifles from ROTW?
No. I prefer to let people find quest details out themselves. I am a roleplayer generally so I feel that doing the quests and finding stuff out for yourself fun and major portion of the game and players who use game guides to find loot miss the fun part of actually finding and doing quest ^_^. I do not on the other hand stop other players from posting this info here in the forum but I do encourage them to put their guides in the Game Guides forum as a better alternative.
