Rifleman Archive

Found this in the Roundtabel for the In Live board. It was so good I had to post it here. (ps, if you're not color blind, you soon will be.)

So basically...the everyone becoming a Rifleman/CM Hybrid is going to continue...

People don't think they need nerfed, but other professions need balancing factors, right now what reason is there to be anything except one of those to be truly effective in PvP?

You don't find it wrong that single classes can completely dominate and destroy those which require more SP for sole Combat Purposes? (Commando, BH...) Since Combat Revamp has been delayed, everyone is going to continue to flock to the only working professions. (CM has some outstanding issues/bugs however)

That could create even more problems...I don't think Rifleman/CM need nerfed, but with Mind Damage as it is, creatures the way they are, AP/AR the way it is...why be anything but a Rifleman? Other classes need balancing, and fixing -- being brought up-to-par.

The Combat Revamp is more important than Jedi, more important than the GCW, more important than Droid Engineers, more important that Smugglers -- it's the binding factor in this game. Without combat there is no GCW, without combat there are no hides/meats to gather, without combat their is only crafting.

Iwant to assumetheir plan will be to balance exactly what our profession is with the combat balance.

1. Are we Gunners?

2. Are we Snipers?

I assume a balance of one or the other will come into play and redfine our profession better.I've sent all our In Concept top suggestions, related links to our feelings of what we are, etc.. to the Development team and they are indeed reviewing them.

It's a waiting game from this point on as to what our "Vision" was when created and what we will become. But, you can count on them to defineeverything based on our In Concept posts.

Excellent! You seem to be consistantly on the ball...Thank you!

I thought the combat balance was on hold until they have done the Jedi revamp.

Pretty funny really, 10% of the players get a 2 month publish while the rest of us get put on hold. Oh well I guess it means they can have even more pretty screenshots of Jedi fighting on the main page.

I thought the combat balance was on hold so they don't give us another piece of **edit** patch that fixes a lot but breaks almost as much so they have to hotfix in a bunch of other minor fixes. After all a bug in something this huge would effect a hell of a lot of stuff. (whoops blast damage was supposed to be coded as 1 and energy 2...heh oh well)

Wow...! For a moment there I thought I was having another bad drug trip from the 60's... and I didnt even do drugs in the 60s!!
