Thread: RIFLE BUGS -= Thursday April 28 2005 =-
Sheesh Im glad Im not the only one with these problems
Played for 2 hours this morning and had alll the same problems, I did have sniper shot work 3 times in a row and incapped my brother in our first duel...heheh that was cool.
When cover did work (1out of 20 times) I liked how you dissolve into the scenery, cheezy but cool.
I mastered rifleman on the last day of "pre CU" so Im not really sure what to think...
good luck everyone and thanks for this thread

No one in the group wants to wait for me to go to the other side of the lair, find a clear path to the target, take cover, crawl up within range before the battle starts. Like you said, cover is messed up right now anyway, but even if it was working as intended, it does not promote group play. The only time in pvp I could see cover being usefull is in ambushes, but since cover does not seem to work anywhere near a city it will have limited use."U could use it to ambush someone in a group setting but you cant use it to pvp or hunt jedis because you cant be seen on the radar but they are able to target you by hitting the tab button so its pretty much useless
Thats all on the list of current rifleman issues, except the tabbing onto the covered up rifleman. Cover shouldnt be broken by group members, own pets or speeders. Also, the distance needed to break cover might be a little too high.
I am a bothan, natural cover bonus. I have a +17 cover bandoleer, even more cover bonus. When I got into cover with my +17 and natural bothan bonuses, it was really really effective, if the creature was 10 or so lower than me, but with all these bonuses, I still have to spam the ability to make it work, when I'm alone, away from no living thing on my radar.
Last Night I logged on and noticed that my Cover was 0/5 (+5 Cover Shirt). Is it just me or is the reason for cover failing all the time because were all at base 0% Cover. It appears to have gone from the Rifleman trees. Im sure I was 80% before CU?

All of the weapons that had PU's on them still have "yellow" titles and all but do not show up as having PU's on them. It's like being able to stack a PU on top of a PU! All I kow is that I eneded up with one really slick Laser Riffle and a couple of DXR's. My T-21's did not have any PU's on them; if I had know this is the way things would turn out I would have put one on each of them before the conversion!
Not sure how they are going to fix that one!
You missed this one Ackehece.

not really a rifle bug - it would be a conversion bug and as far as the devs are concerned it probably will never be fixed (as conversion is a one time issue)

Looks like weapon certs are fixed on TC tonight.
Current List:
CL 6: DLT20
CL 7: DLT20a
CL 10: SG82
CL 14: Spraystick (also requires novice rifleman)
CL 22: E11 rifle
CL 30: Beam Rifle (doesn't require SL now), Massassi Ink Rifle
CL 40: Tusken Rifle, Light Laser Rifle, Tenloss (also requires novice rifleman), Berserker (description says requires rifle abilities III but doesn't say that on the cert line)
CL 50: Jawa Ion, LD-1, Fallann Hyper Rifle
CL 54: Advanced Laser Rifle, T21 (also requires master rifleman)
I was wondering why, having played as a rifleman since the very beginning, I was only able to use a DLT20!! There is really no good reason that weapons certifications are incorrectly implemented at CU launch.
I am really an advocate of the CU, but I have to ask why are we paying SOE to betatest this product? I guess the same reason as most of you: We know the Star Wars license deserves the best, and we all have the naive hope that somehow that Galaxies will eventually be improved enough to meet par. But SOE should be paying US for doing the testing, not the other way around.

Cover and Sniper Shot: You must be on PERFECTLY level terrain for the skills to work. Thus, the reason why it never works in the open unless you are on a plateau, flatlands, structure floor, etc. You can test it easily on the large plateau on Tatooine (near the squill caves) or the flatlands to the south of Bestine.
Hope this helps.
