Rifleman Archive

Nice write up. I would like to add though. T21s on Ahazi and other servers that don't have them would be nice. We keep hearing about T21s this and that, but yet we are still using Lasers because they haven't seen fit to put the neccesary resources on our servers yet.

Just my uninformed opinion.

Ropeu, the malcontent rifleman from Ahazi

I agree with the HS3 and the range thing although i cant agree with the issues with the T21 yet, as they havent turned up on Chimaera yet

When in a group i only use overchargeshot 1 as i can hardly make a dent with HS3.

Cant wait to get a rifle better than an E11

I agree Klaw, especially the parts about T21 being underpowered compared to Elite professions, and not being very viable in PvP or PvE. Taking ourselves off the radar would be great, as well as an unnerf of the T21, correction of damage types, and a single very powerful attack.

Still waiting on permission to release. I'm sorry for the delay, just following orders.

whats that? you carry a tank in your datapad?

oh, that explains it

Can you please agressively poke the devs about every day? I find it very frustrating telling us "everything is fine you get your answer we got your issues we worked on your issues we are discussing your issues BUT WE DON'T LET YOU KNOW".

All we got so far are the same empty promises of actions and dates that get broken again and again. I have enough of this. I think they are just telling us stuff to keep us quiet. What the hell can take so long? This is just stalling. As it always has been.

Can you at least tell us what is going on? Is there any activity on this at all? like you are posting stuff and they are responding? Or are you on hold for the last 10 days?


It's bad enough not to do anything. It's even worse to promise people stuff will happen and then not do anything.

could we get the 75% speed slices to our T21s issue add to that list?

at this point, any damage slice to aT21 (not even a good one) will cost about 150k. to ensure a good slice were looking at 300k if your lucky!

oh, and if your looking for an awesome Pride-of-my-Collection krayt T21, your looking in the 3-5 Million credit range. thats just sick!

About the AP, the Weaponsmith corespondant briefly got ahold of the devs about this. AP should no longer increase damage. The bug is not that ap weapons no longer do extra damage to vuln targets, the bug is that AP weaopns do extra damage all other times. Way back when weapons stop doing extra damage to vuln targets is when they changed the system. Higher AP should have been changed to only help overcome armor resists.

This is the formula that the devs told the WS corespondant on how Higher AP should effect armor with resists:

Resistance to a Higher AP attack = Armors resistance / ( (AP-AR) * 2).When T-21 shot hits a 80% composite Helm, the armor should block 20% [80% / ((3-1) *2 = 80% / 4]. So a shot of 500 should do 400 damage, instead of the current system of (500 * 1.25^3) * 20% = 195.

The WS coresopndant is trying to get more feedback from the devs about this. Here is the thread he started about this: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=weaponsmith&message.id=24479&page=1

Sorry to sound stupid but, can someone explain what the 3 second cap is?

I agree with all of the items on the list. I believe that Range is the most important if the list had to be trimmed down.

The list is very well put together. Simple, and to the point.

We should have a response from the developers of our Top Five issues soon. Once I have a response I'll let you know asap, unless they post it here first.

This was 21 days ago. 3 weeks.

We haven't heard a word about our issues yet.


Klawlegna, what is going on? Is there any discussion about things? Are the devs waiting for something from us? Are they just stalling us? Is their "art of combat" the universal solution for our and everyone elses top-issues?

I am not saying it's your fault. If you say you can't give us answers, so be it. But you CAN ask about the status, about an ETA, about an ETA when we will get an ETA. You CAN tell us if your are waiting in them (and since when), what the last action on this was, if there is any progress at all or if you are jsut waiting for 3 weeks for anything to happen. I am sick of lame dev excuses about how big things are on the table and about how much time they invest in our issues and about how busy they are.

Let us at least know if we can expect an answer at all, or if we jsut wait for their new system to be implemented...

They told me and several others that they will be posting the responses in an "update/announcement" type deal themselves. I have 3 posts on our Top Five requesting permission to release and can't receive permission from them.

So in other words we are waiting for them. It's not that any discussion with you or other correspondants is still taking place? When was the last "input" from you?

Again, I do belive you that you can't do anything about it. I just would appreciate some hard data. For now, I could be angry becasue they didn't do anything for 3 weeks. But if you say that just yesterday they had some more questions and you gave them some answers, I can accept to wait some more.

Honestly I think there is a few still open, as they don't have Correspondents. SQL for example has a giant list they have to pick through. I have faith in TH to come through, it's just going to take time. But, yes.. majority is done from what I can read..
