Rifleman Archive

Yeah, I have 3 heavy harvesters, so now I can sample some stuff...

Does anyone remember when I said the other stats are useless? They can be healed and buffed indefinately.

The only thing that matters is mind. Everyone should have it, period. Is this game about species advantages? Yes, but it shouldn't be.

i got news for you...they are notthe one dominating race. and neither is any other race.

this game has diversity. whether or not you were "mislead" into picking the wrong race or you didnt research enough /shrug , who cares...live with it...you have a master weaponsmith quit yer bitchin!

I'm playing a human...you wanna talk about difficult...600 max on focus , willpower...constitution and strength is low too...but thats the challenge.

your an idiot nhilix..... it says in my manual which came with my copy of swg, which i got on the 26th of June that zarbak have the highest will power. So dont cry nerf because you were stupid and picked the wrong race, how about using a rifle with out the stock so it has less of an affect on mind drain... or just drink a nice warm glass of shut the h3ll up and accept the fact you made a mistake, and the devs should not change the entire game for your sorry self.

master ch / 4/2/3/3 rifleman

chomper, you apparently don't understand pvp. i can get a doctor to buff my health and action to 2k each, at least. not only that, but they can be healed. these two bars are canceled out. anyone can be buffed and healed, if they can't do it themselves. also, anyone can use food buffs, but if everyone does (and although they don't, for the sake of argument. otherwise, it's an unfair comparison) then it cancels out.mind is the weak link in the chain. unhealable, and used to heal a ton of the others.

so, the species that has the best BASE mind stats is going to have a "strongest weak link"; aka, Zabrak. this is disregarding all of that pet bs.

and thus you accuse the bh's of being overpowered, and I agree, they clearly are. but by saying that, "too bad, get over it," you're just the pot calling the kettle black.

the same goes for picking rifleman in the first place. who among you thought that riflemen were going to be aoe attackers, and in the role that we are now? every day there is a dozen posts that ask the devs to make us more like real snipers. so i picked a weaker species... you picked a weaker class. (of course, i have weak species+weak class. how do you think that feels? and dont say, well change class... I'm not about to).

how is giving Bothans 700 willpower that bad, again? someone said diversity. how many rodians do you see? how many twi'leks other than dancers do you see?

"this community is pretty weak, really."

You are pretty weak, really. This is one of the dumbest posts I have read in a while. This is not small acomplishment either since there really is a lot of dumb posts. When this game came out you could click on each of the races and see the stats they were granted. Later in the character creation process it gives you even more information. Now if you were complaining about something that wasnt listed I could maybe see it but..If you dont like your races stats reroll. You had the same knowledge everyone else had (actually more since I never buy strategy guides for MMORPGs). Not sure sure why you are complaining since that 300 focus equals a very slight advantage. The probly with just giving bothans a bonus to focus so that they can be uber riflemen too is that then the Zabraks will cry about not getting extra action or stamina so that they can be uber carabineers. Then us wookiees will whine about not having armor and everyone else will cry about us having more stats..

I am a Twi'lek Rifleman (with a Twi'lek Musician for a wife :smileyhappy

I am very happy with my stats. Sure I only have 500 Willpower and Focus. I find this is suitable for me.

With my points I have nothing in the Quickness or Stamina sections. These are still at 500 each due to the Racial Bonuses. Look at it this way. The Zabraks who have all their points in Mind will have nothing in Action. If ever they go up against a Caribineer they will be buggered. Also if they get hit in this section by anything else it will do maximum damage.

Whats the point of having all this mind if you won't have time to use it all. I think The racial Bonuses are good. I specifically picked Twi'lek because it was different.

I wouldn't be too worried about these races if I were you. While they have strength there you will surpase them in other area's. Just learn to adapt your character to the situation.

so if the devs shouldn't make riflemen better, because then the bh's, ch's, commandoswill complain?

I like that logic, just accept the facts and let the overpowered peopel stay that way.

Ya know, if ya'll would quit responding to this thread it would die a quiet death.

Nhilix... Sorry you feel like you were misled. As a rifleman I feel cheated every day.And I planned to be scout and chose twi'lek, but switched.Now I'm halfway to master rifleman (3/2/2/3) and I'm not whining about it. I would have to suggeststarting another character, or just get over it. Judging from the responses in this forum you have no support, and since you're skating on thin ice to start with, I think you are just causing yourself aggravation. Anyway, if you decide to pursue your fight... good luck.

Thank You, Wayne. And as this will die without anyone caring, I still am voicing my opinion, and defending my position. It's my right, and even though I'll go down to deaf ears who think they are so much better because they want everyone to be a Zabrak rifleman, twi'lek dancer, or whatever....

When BH's don't get the nerf that you all think will make you their equals, then most of you will know how it feels to see a game that seemed so great fall apart to meaning less selfishness.

I am a Bothan Rifleman.

I have no problems with mind, I do well in PvP, I solo like a champ.

Try accepting what you are and playing within those boundaries. Work to your strengths.
