Rifleman Info to follow this section

Auto Attack:

• ctrl+click special to select an attack


• once in combat that attack should cycle after you use it once

Auto Assist in Combat:

• Target a group member who is currently engaged in combat


• fire a special - it will hit your targeted group members target

• Colors:
  
  
  
  • Grey - Too low - Minimal experience , not worth fighting
  
  
  • Green - A small amount of experience, will definitely be an easy fight
  
  
  • Light Blue - A small amount of experience, should be an easy fight, could be trouble if there are more than 1 or 2 opponents.
  
  
  • Blue - Ideal target, decent experience 1 on 1, but could be tough if there are 2 or more opponents.
  
  
  • White - Even Target 1 on 1; good fight.
  
  
  • Yellow - Dangerous fight; stronger than you, but you might win. Good luck!
  
  
  • Orange - Very dangerous fight. Unlikely you will beat this opponent
  
  
  • Red - This opponent will easily smite you.
  
  
  • Purple - Certain death.


• Target Icons:
  
  
  
  • Pointing Up - Higher con than you
  
  
  • Circle - Even con
  
  
  • Pointing Down - Lower con than you

DPS in the examine window:

• The DPS listed in any of the weapon descriptions is just an estimate of the raw average damage divided by the weapon speed.


• The final DPS output of any player will be determined by a much wider variety of factors such as special move multipliers, accuracy & skill mods, etc, etc.


• The actual damage being done will also be modified by the skill mods and armor ratings of the opponent.

Range Modifiers:

• Since we no longer have min/mid/max range bonuses (because we no longer have min/mid/max range accuracy differences), we moved to one "general accuracy" value.


• The "Accuracy" on a weapon should stack with your other accuracy modifiers (from skill mods, etc).


• You will also notice we got rid of the "mid distance" stat all together. Weapons now only have min/max distances.

Dot Weapons:

• DOTs of this sort will indeed be removed completely from all weapons.


• The point values of the DOTs will not be converted on a 1-1 ratio; instead a formula is used to derive a more reasonable value for the end weapon.


• All weapon values will be modified to be within acceptable (from a balance perspective) ranges of the new weapon target numbers.


• The truth of the matter is that there are some very overpowered DOT weapons in the world, and those weapons will no doubt lose much of their punch. These weapons should, however, still be relatively excellent weapons within the new system - just not the overpowered uber weapons they are now.

My interpretation was that anyone can use the weapon but if you have no skills it will be significantly less powerful. That is, a MR picks up a scythe because of correct combat level but cant do as much damage nor is as accurate as master swordsman(?), because they have no skills trained relating to it yet, such as melee accuracy.

nb. used scythe here as example only.

I thought the answer they gave on HoCsuggested this was the case, but they didnt seem to be too firm in their answer making me think they could change their mind again.

well we are trying... at least forriflemen on the whole thisis not a nightmare... but the hybrids have a horrible issue on hand (think Commandos and BH who have all kinds of novice level skills ). Kinda handicaps them with the skill changes.

Ackehece wrote:

Weapon certs can now be tied to a combat level + a specific skill box + a specific race

So, all three of these scenarios could happen:

1. Weapon is certed to anyone with a combat level of at least X

2.Weapon is certed to anyone witha combat level of at least X AND have achieved Skill Box N

3. Weapon is certed to anyone with a combat level of at least X AND have achieved Skill Box N AND is of raceK.

Most weapons currently fall into "1", some fall into "2" (mostly iconic and profression defining weapons) and very few(currently only bowcasters)fall into "3".

Hope they include Ithorian Spit BallGun for species specific. With the two mouths us Ithorian riflemen should be able to take out a Krayt with two straws and a wad of paper towels.

Any one see the Clone Wars series...That one freaky Ithorian with the lungs and the screaming and stuff.
