Rifleman Archive

I'm going to give them some time to fix it. Two weeks max.
At that point in time, I either quit the game or go pistoleer.

They have proven theyCAN fix it in 10 hours!

I'mnot going to throw away any XP or skills (I'm 2/1/0/1 in Rifleman tree) ..... YET.
However, in two weeks time if we're still nerfed as bad, the times they are a changin'.
Until then, I think I'll build up my pistol skills, but NOT allocate the skill points or combat points yet.

I'm giving them a week, maybe two, to fix this giant slap in the face. I can guarantee that if this is not fixed within a month, you will see less riflemen in this game than jedi. There is absolutely NO reason to play a rifleman; there is nothing that we can do that cannot be better done by someone else.

Well said. Frustratingly well said. If they can completely descimate the T21 in 10 hours they can make it usable again in just as little time.

Personally, I think we're going about making our point all wrong. Why not compare the new T21 to a Laser Rifle? Considering that the T21 is three skills up the tree, it ought to blow the Laser Rifle out of the water. And yet I have no dobut that it will come up inferior in every way (especially after factoring in HAM costs).

Then again, perhaps we shouldn't do that, or else the new stats on a Laser Rifle might end up being 9-130.

i'm maxed on all my classes right now (swords/rifle/doctor) at least as far as i want.. (well swords not maxed.. but close)

and so far its been pure BS.. without knockdown pvp is impossible, and now i need to shoot 5-8 times to kill someone with my new ubar T21.

time to switch to pistoleer and get that ranged AOE KD eh

guess what, their best gun cost 1/5 the ubar T21 (in some server.. others can't make the T21).. of coures their DPS is around 123967208467246 times. =P

I'm about to go on a 1 week vacation. If Rifleman isn't fixed by the time I come back, then I would like to have my Rifle XP transfered over to Pistol XP. Because it seems to me that Pistoleers and Bounty Hunters have it all made.

Currently, (On the Kauri server)Pistoleers can get unsliced DX2 pistols that can do76-123 dmg in 2.6 with HAMcosts of 21/39/14 for under 15,000 credits, Bounty hunters can get unsliced Scatter Pistols that can do do 96-155 dmg in 2.2 with HAM costs of 16/49/16 for under 15,000 credits and Rifleman can get unsliced DLT20a that can do 115-184 dmg in 4.9 with HAM costs of 13/28/25 for under 15,000 credits. So this means, in under the amount of time speed 10 takes places, Pistoleers can do 292-473 dmg and Bounty Hunters can do 436-704 dmg in the same time I can do 234-375 dmg. Huh!?!? And since the resources are so rare, the DLT20a is the best high damage rifle out that is less than 50,000 credits.

Should I just bend over and spread my cheeks now? I'm a CH/Rifleman... now I just suck.

I'm going to give them a little time to fix this, but I'm considering quitting. I've been working on 2 things since day one... CH and Rifleman and now both are nerfed to oblivion.

CH I could *almost* understand, the rifleman thing I cannot. So what if we can do uber damage in 1 hit. We can't solo any mobs, and in PVP if we miss the one shot we're dead. If the person has friends, miss or no, we're still dead... at least this way we had a chance to take *1* of them down so we only lose half the fp that we normally would...

bah...

This skill tree is totally BORKED..I just spent 250 K exp on Surprise shot..Sniping expert and as a rifleman i cant use the **edit** special with a rifle..YOU HAVE TO USE A PISTOL? Why is it in the Rifleman tree then?

Ham cost for my character went up 50% from headshot II costing me 62 to 93 mind.

while the pistoleer freaks are able to spam eyeshot and knockdowns with no apparent cost.. total BS>

Get rid of the profession al together and make a general aimed ranged weapons category that all characters use if it is going to be this rediculous.
