Rifleman Archive

at 64 m a pistoleer was totally wupping my rear. im 4-2-2-2 rifleman i dont know how far the pistoleer was up his trees he was wearing a scout tag. he hit me numerous times times for 150-200 damage while i hit him once for 300 with master headshot ( btw this started at close range but i burst run and got to 64 m and his acuracy and damage stayed the same as did mine and both of us were wearing just cloths). i dont know if this is the right place for this post. but i really did not not see a advantage to using a rifle against this pistoleer. point is, our damage sucks, our rate of fire sucks, and with a t21 we soposedly have heavy amor peircing but one hit for around 300 using head shot 3 throughout a intire fight come on. in my opinion this is a issue that need to be dealt with. mabe im just to low in the trees i dont know could i get some feedback on this from you more exp rifleman please.

max 758 laser rifle! woo lol scope stock and ownage

I think it needs pointing out that Galaxies is a game in constant transition and it's our job to help the Dev's reach a satisfactory goal where everyone ishappy - this thread is doing that, but we could tone down the flames - If you go take a look at the other threads under the heading Professions you will see that ALL professions are bugged in major ways.

I have recently moved from Droid Engineer to become a rifleman - the pay is MUCH better, the game has come alive since I did and I'm being careful how I play the game now.

I have taken the advice of these forums carefully to heart and will continue to do so, and I am enjoying rifleman IMMENSLEY! Trust me from someone who has done the crafting and the hours of looking at one screen at a time - riflemen got life good!

Cheers for all the hard work you guys are putting in keeping the Devs up to date

And for those who moan more than advise - rememeber, if they made one profession gods ALL the others would complain it HAS to be fair

Rifles are not capped, That was someone weaving a nerf flag, Our cap is still 1 second along with every other weapon in the game.

thanks for the response! It really seemed like my spraystick was hitting at that speed but just wanted to confirm, thx!

Rifleman is balanced, and there are so many things yet to be implemented that could make Rifleman the next closet profession. Tomorrow carbineers could be hitting for millions, who knows! I want the cries for a nerf to stop, though. Some of the suggestions I hear are ludicrous. 3 second speed cap, 2.5x damage multiplier, etc. Then there are folks that want to treat us like -real rifleman-, but dont comment on our 64 meter range? Thats like sniping someone across the street from you. TKA's do more damage in PvE, and so do Pistoleer Smuggler combos as well as in PvP. We cant combine rifleman with a profession to benefit it either. We're a stand alone ranged profession and I like that, it's also the most challenging to level ranged profession.

Love to all the folks that -dont- want us severly handi-capped.
