What good is cover if the target auto-targets you automatically like it is now?


The only bennie is you get ONE shot under cover before you are targeted. MIght as well make it a Snipershot because its pointless to lay there once you are targeted.

I hate to sound like a noob (aw, what the hell), but what can I use to snipe from 80m with? Everything I've tested since CU only gets meabout 64m. Granted, I don't have an ALR and a few other rifles right now, so perhaps it's my weapon.And yeah, the autotarget is a problem right now, but the bigger problem to me seems to be cover being broken so easily.

Is BE clothing working now? The last I heard it was broken.





Last time I checked it, mine worked. But I haven't been in game a whole lot recently, and it is quite possible that they have been bugged without my noticing.

And to answer your question Tulasi, you need the +range arms to hit past 65m. There is a +5 and a +10 variant, so you can get up to 80m range. I currently don't have either, because I keep having this sinking feeling I'd only get to use them for a week or so before they'd get nerfed anyhow, lol.

Thanks. I thought the arms only gave accuracy bonuses. I didn't know they extended range. Now I have a reason to go get me some arms. Cool.

My first experience with cover in pvp was a smash! Four of us riflemen in the group took cover on a hill facing an enemy base we "comendiered." Our two jedi scouts lured four enemy jedi towards the base. As soon as they all got within range, we rained hellfire down up on the enemy while they ran around like chickens with their heads chopped off. They were toast before they even knew we ambushed them. I highly recommend using cover to have some ambush fun )

Rifleman cover is no longer affected by group mates


From patch notes on TC! Not a fix for conceal shot but damn... this aint bad.
