Thread: Tusken Rifle & Spraystick Damage

I don't know where the whole spraystick thing came from, I don't remember it ever being acid. Maybe it was from the green bolts since most of the other acid weapons shoot green bolts.
My beef is that the devs constantly LIE! then hide when they get caught in their own lies. Tuskan was kinetic, why stealth nerf it then lie?

Pathetic.
You people are crying because there are two damage types you don't have access to? No we are crying fowl cause they blaintly lied
Puh-leeze. We have the BEST Stun damage weapon in-game, Jawa Ion rifle being changedto electric, and the genosian pistol can do a lot more stun damage than the Jawa rifle, Go to Arox's weapon shop on valcyn he has a genosian stun pistol that does 600 damage on display
the ONLY cold-damage weapon in-game, and a wide variety of damage types to choose from, and you're crying about **edit**ing Kinetic and Acid? How would you feel if you were one of the "Uber" melee types who only get *two* damage types to choose from, or if you're a TKA, ONE? THat's why I am not a TKA

Why do I continue to "whine"? I'll tell you this, it ain't because I want my class to have every damage type.
Reason #1) Common f'in' sense.
---It's obvious what they are supposed to be. That the Devs have messed it up either denotes complete lack of interest in not only the game, but the story the game is based on.
Reason #2) Ethics and shame.
---The Devs lie. And this lie is one of their most poorly executed. I've got proof, undeniable proof, and it's obvious. (see #1) The Devs messed up and instead of admiting it they backed themselves up into a corner. I pursisted and instead of coming clean, they started digging a hole. So I'm continuing to pursue them. It's quite pathetic the lengths and lies they will go to to protect their egos.
Reason #3) "Great, they got a gardener when what we really need is an exterminator"
---Quote from the player city garden launch. The game was launched with a lot of bugs, prematurely from beta. This wasn't the Devs fault, I'm almost certain, as I'm sure it was the producers who pushed this thing out half-baked. But nevertheless it is the job of the Devs to fix it and make it work. Mounts, Vehicles, Player Cities. These all came way before the professions were ever considered for fixing. Launch bugs still persist to this very day. And yet I hear that the Dev team is putting signifigant effort into the SE. When and where I can, I advocate the idea of Fixing Before Additions. This case is particularily great because the facts against the Devs are so solid that the case is obvious. (See #1)
Plus, do I really care if I get my rusting Spraystick back its acid damage? The Geo Rifle does that, and it's much more powerful. And the Tusken Rifle I've never used to this day.
Bravo. I feel pretty much the same way. I will probably never use the tusken rifle and I use my T-21 at point blank still since 1hit will probably be enough to do the job even if it may take 5 shots to get that one in as opposed to the spraystick being much better for point blank. But does that mean that they are allowed to be broken? If I were to buy a house and the stairway happened to be missing a few treads should I just shrug that off because I hardly use the basement anyway? No, I should get my money's worth and have someone add a few boards. Things should not be broken, and if you need an explanation as to why things should not be broken I really feel sorry for you.

Keldarin: I just went through the revision history of those weapons and they have never had those damage types.
There ya have it...
hes lying, pure and simple. i have had kinetic damage tuskens before mounts came in. however they dont exsist now. they were stealth removed because noone used them but now when we need kinetic damage to attack and help a group take down high level mobs, we have nothing......
unless ofc this new rifle has that damage.
Yep, Keldarin is lying through his teeth, and I invite you to copy/paste my saying so into the correspondent forum for him to read. Tuskens most certainly used to be kinetic damage.
And the new Lithitanium rifle seems to have gotten the stealth nerf in this morning's hot fix. Mine says energy for damage type now... which is a major rip off after going and fighting that tusken executioner (after waiting nearly 2 hours for it to show up) so I could get it.

Yeah.. we have a rifle that does cold damage... but ya know, I've yet to see a mob where the SG82 is more effective than a good T21, because most mobs with high energy and low cold have medium armor or better, and the SG82 lacks any kind of piercing ability.

I've been told again, we will be pleased once the combat balance is in place and that all Rifleman should post on the In Concept thread.
If the Devs have taught us anything, they've taught us that talk is cheap. I'll believe it when I download it. In the mean time they have to stop the lies.

All due respect I have heard that before, It was what the CH's were told back in october. Guess what, we were anything but pleased.
The spraystick is just great due to its short range powers. However if it's energy it is the most resisted form of damage so any alteration would be better. Honestly though, like someone saidthey completely screwed up on this gun so it doesn't really matter anyway.

What an outrage, we are paying 15 bucks a month for these people to lie to us? Cant we sue for that? someone sue!
Look, tusken rifles use bullets not energy from a blaster pack. Bullets only make sense to be kinetic since it's a solid object. Laser blasts should be energy or blast.
I dont really care about acid damage since we have the DX and I have a nice one but I can understand that it's not very affordable for many people so they have the spraystick but come on it has no AP and has low dmg. The DX had medium AP and has nice dmg if done right.
Stop giving us the run around devs- it'll only be the cause of your downfall
Actually werent spray sticks used in Heir to the Empire? Werent they more like long poles?
