Rifleman Archive

Im guessing this is from one of our nobel bounty whiners.

2 days to do unarmed brawler? I just did it this morning, I guess 4 bleeds is rad for those low level boxes. Oh and it was hard back in the day, it lead me to picking up swordsmen so when the mob got close I didn't have to die from the 2.5x mutliplier and crappy accuracy.

OK it's time for comparison for people lvling now and the ones like me who lvled say over 2 months ago(maybe 3 months).

ThenNow

2.5x melee None

Warping mobs(+2.5x melee=1 hit death) None(or very little)

Food and spices didn't workThey do

Entertainer buffs? Yeah right Entertainer buffs

Take cover would aggro other mobsFixed

Take cover had a bug where you could only Fixed

walk for about 15 min. after you used it.

Prone sliding(pretty much couldn't go prone) None

Accuracy mods were around 80 at masterAround 160 at master

*Not exactly sure about the acc. numbers, just trying to remember. But I do know it pretty much doubled when they changed it.

Imagine half your accuracy and not being able to go prone and trying to kill something before it warps to you and kills you in 1 hit. That was rifleman. I personally kept cloning centers in business.

Oh and insurance, yeah decay sucks, but in beta if you didn't insure you had to run from the cloning center to the spot where you died to pick up your items. It was kind of funny watching people run around in their boxers with no weapons to the spot where an angry creature just killed them.

Just what was the point of this other than to inflame? It insults those of us who leveled the profession when the game was literally stacked against us. As has been pointed out, warping Mobs and 2.5x melee modifier when almost all Mobs do melee damage, the virual inabilitiy to go prone, Mobs aggroing in groups when they should not, broken foods and buffs, etc, all made Rifleman one of the most difficult grinds in the game.

It took me from July toonly severalweeks ago to Master the profession, but guess what?Not only was I dealing with all the weaknesses mentioned above, I was also leveling other professions, building a resource business, and building in game relationships. By contrast two weeks ago, I decided to give up Ranger and most of Scout to pursue Master Swordsman. Even with other in-game responsibilities, I Mastered Swordsman in under two weeks.

Should I go to the Swordman boards and suggest to them that their profession is "easy to level"? No, because, as has been pointed out elsewhere, with the appropriate knowledge of what Mobs to attack, the time go grind, and the changes that have been made in the game since lauch, many of the professions can be Mastered in very short times. So again, I ask, what is the point of making such a post?

None but to inflame. So I can only assume you are BH who got his butt handed to him by a Master Rifleman and is looking for some payback. Grow up.

I hope you dont think i was the BH that got "pwned" by a rifleman... lol. That would really suck...

Arkon_Liie?
3 days, lol. You must have been hunting Krayts with your E11 or was that your Super Krayt cannon? yeah I heard about the Super Krayt Cannon, it kills Krayts with 2 shots and gives something like 50k XP points, yeah right.

At least you could have told use some far out tale of your great hunting..
