Rifleman Archive

Thank you Quas. Glad to see somoene is able to think straight.

I dont know how much i need to pound it in... we have the WORST damage per second of any weapons (besides commando, happy Aldeon?). Without our ability to do 1 shot kills we are goingto be SCREWED on the field. Our only hope will be to mindshot2 someone, then burst run away and pray you dont get knocked down. Weee... meanwhile a pistoleer/BH pistol charachter will still be able to wade through 5-10 enemies, dealing 1000's of damage worth of mind a second, all of which is stun damage which blows right through armor.

Yay.

I normally dont flame.... but TekDragonhas got to be the biggest whiner I've ever seen.

No offense, but the commando class, is alot worst off then ours. I think you guys really need to calm down, and realise that the Devs have alot of work to do. The game went in to early as most of you can see. It was rushed in, were basically still in beta. As a matter of fact, every game starting off tends to be beta still. If you dont like dealing with bugs, then you shouldnt be playing any game when it fist comes out. You should be waiting 3-4 months, then play.

No. That is wrong. If a game is still in beta it SHOULD. NOT. BE. RELEASED. They are taking our hard-earned money for a product that does not meet up to even the lowestexpectations and we, like others have clichedly put it, are paying to play a beta. It does not matter that other games are like this, or even if ALL of them are. Thatshould notbe SOP and I fully denounce any organization that thinks it is OK to rush projects to make a buck at the expense of their customers. That is back-stabbing swindling and saying it is anything less is a lie.

A message to any dev or representative of SOE who might read this post: most of us will still play your game, we are willing to put our faith in your work. But we do want an acknowledgement that what you did was wrong. We want an apology. If that opens your upto a class-action lawsuit, so be it. Accept the consequences of your actions.

We do not demand perfection but we do demand a product with a modicum of completedness that any regular player can identify and so far we have not seen that.The playersdemanded the same thing ofDynamixregarding Tribes2 before Sierra shut them down, andplayers will continue to do so for other games thatare bought. We will not be your lab rats and stay silent.

Mod this post down if you want, I'm just telling it like it is.

Yes you are right. SOE does HATE <Insert your class here>

They created the class to trick all the people that they did not like into joining it. Then they bugged it up on purpose just to make those people very mad.

What class did they create for all the people they hate?

I will tell you.....

Its <Insert your class here> !

LOL

Why whould anyone assume that SOE hates any class?

SOE has one goal... To make as much money as possible. How do they do that?

Not by "Hating" a class. Not by screwing things up intentionally.

They do it bymaking the best game they possibly can to get as many people as possible to play it and keep them playing it.

Do they make mistakes? Well yes, they do. Its their job to minimize the number and severity of them.

Do they fix their mistakes? They have to or people will not play. However, they can only do what they can do in "X" amount of time. They are probably fixing the most serious problems first somewhat balanced by how easy a fix is.

Is SWG perfect? No

Will it ever be perfect? No

Is EQ perfect after 4 years? No

Are any MMOG's perfect? No

Will SWG be alot better in 1 year than it is now? It had better be. All MMOG's had better improve year by year or they will die.

Does whinning about the problems help? I don't think they listen much to the whiners although I have no way of knowing. I think they DO listen to people who post about problems with game or a class who do so in a clear, concise, non-whinning, non flaming, respectful way.

SOE will do what they think is best to make SWG successful and profitable. That is their goal, not creating a class then "hating" it. lol

Yes, I dislike the fact that Pistoleers are overpowered compared to Rifleman and they can kill many Rifleman from 64m. Its rediculous but I suspect they know that by now.

A bunch of things need fixing for my Ranger/Rifleman. A Ranger at the moment is only a Scout that has a prettier tent. lol

However, I am content providing feedback in a calm postive manner and I have resonable expectations that the will fix most if not all of the problems.

If I am not happy with the game and the rate of improvement I will leave and go to another game.

Nobody listens to whiners except other whiners. Feedback is good, whining just grates on everyones nerves.

Eltestor, that high speed thing is a bug... Rifleman should not be able to shoot fast IMO. What they should be able to do though, is hit consistently. After all, at a distance, with our +43 to hit mod (for me at least, at near max range)I still sometimes only hit for about 200-400.... If we're so slow, why can't we have higher damage? At least more consistency... 200-411on my laser rifle would suit the class ALOT more than 11-411.... Its retarded.

SOE does not hate riflemen. They just hate you.

Necro bump for laughs, it seems devs hate EVERYONE ELSE now

I dont see why people complain about riflemen, I dont mean to burst your bubble but Riflemen is a very very good all around profession ... you can dominate PvP with a simple Armor-Be-Gone Stun Gun called the Jawa Ion Rifle, which will absolutly own anyone from 60m while spamming head shot 3 every 1.0 second ... seeing as how speed cap is easily reached on an average (5.3 speed ) ion gun. I do however agree that T21's suck @ss, but there are other guns out there .. And for soloing big stuff? Try a coupleAT's every once in a while, Its quite fun shooting them from a distance while they walk around dazed and confused Riflemen is NOT nerfed, I have been one, and its both fun and powerful, Beats the hell out of pikemen....

Blast From the past post, Now SOE don't hate Rifleman but everyone else does

I miss when only SOE hated us.

Jebus, do you people read or look at anything, this is a **edit**ing necro post. Hell the guy that brought it back from the grave said that, it started inAugust of last year. Stop trolling and get a life.
