this may fall under the "questions you can't answer," but once they hire the new community manager guy or whatever, are they going to increase correspondent time to bimonthly or weekly? once a month is a long time, especially this early in the game with so many issues to be worked out.
I agree, 1 month is a very long time, I cant say for sure, but from what they have told me, they do intend on improving the sytem, wich leads me to beleive, they will either increase the amount of issues we report, or they will increase the time.
Im not sure if anyone saw my post or decided just not to help me because Im a loser or somthing, but i still dont understand the point of some of the riflemans specials, i mean wth i have never seen strafeshot take up 3-5k not to mention its inconsistency in the random pool problem, maybe im wrong but as i said on the other forum i find the only useful moves are headshot3 mindshot2 (occasionally flurryshot and supression fire depending on situation)
Can you just tell me what a good combination of special might be in different locations at least scenrios such as grouping soloing humanoids or animals please im suffering in PVP and PVE and i figure its because im clueless on how to use the full potential of my skills
BTW i use t21 because i cant stand the inconsistency of laser rifles, i tend to have the worst luck...

(Note: Most of this assumes you have atleast Flurry Shot 2)
Ok, in PvP, as you know, most players dont have armor, and most players run around with 800-1100 HAM stats. (No one is really buffing yet) But there are the occasional buffs, and the good group that buffs. So In PvP strafe shot 2 is smart, becuase you can take them down in 1-2 shots.
If there buffed, then you want to use Head Shot 3/2 wichever you prefer.
Now, if you are in a group in PvE, your going to want to use Strafe Shot 2, or any random pool damage AE. One, it has more damage output, (more XP) if you need it, and 2, you do random pool damage. Wich means you do health/action, so your actually helping out the group kill the mobs.
If your solo in PvE, and against no-baf mobs, Head Shot and Mind Shot is the way to go. (NOTE: In PvP, Mind Shot the medics, so if you dont have time to Sniper Shot, they get up and bleed to death)
The reason you use strafe shot, or any AE vs social/BAF mobs, is becuase you hit them all. It may be random pool, but trust me, it doesnt take as long as Head Shotting each one to death. Now its a different story if they are slow, you can then use HS/MS combo ect. But most social/BAF mobs tend to catch you, and why you would solo social/BAF mobs is beyond me . Unless of Course there NPCs.
NPCs - Always start of with Flurry Shot 2, alot of times, they posture change themselves, NPCs arent to smart, then they fall on there backs. You can even use suppresion fire, on each of them after dizzy, run out of range and force them to stand up. Then they fall on there backs for a bit, and you can then MS them and use HS, or you Can Strafe Shot 2. It really depends on the NPCs. I solo Faction Dungeons(GCW) alot, I send in a Dark Trooper, let them all agro it, then I Flurry Shot 2, and Strafe Shot 2. Chances are Ill get about 3/4 of them, but then Ill be incapped. (I usually get about 10-20 per) But the DT stays alive the entire time, I stand up, heal the DT so it doesnt die, and regen my mind to finish them off. Of course, you can only do that 3 times, but hey 60 mobs is alot of FP for the time it takes.
Of course its always good to run with someone with AE KD, (especially with the nerf coming.) You and an AE KD person, are an awsome combo. Flurry Shot 2, will AE dizzy, then they AE knockdown, there all on the ground for about 30 seconds.
Thanks for the response il ltry to follow it as best i can, however confused i am about the other specials the rifle tree has i find it best to forget them.
Considering what you said on soloing baf mobs with AE specials, unfortuantley im not imperial i find i made the mistake of joining a faction with no personal support bonuses, the best faction pet i have to offer is a 5.5k HAM at best, nothing compared to the pits the imperial has to offer, luckily i am also mastering CH which gives me the extra oomph solo riflemen are usually looking for.

But i have another question, normally using mindshot 2 and headshot 3 i manage to kill a 10- 15k HAM npc before the group has a chance to. In other words im outshooting a group of normally 5-8 people with pets by myself. NOw im not sure but wouldnt that usually give me more xp then what the others are getting, not to mention less is being taken by the damage output of other group members? Not saying i want to steal xp from other players but for the sake of argument in that situation I should be the one being awarded the most?
Im a bit confused, so theres a group with pets ect next to you, and your shooting one 10-15k HP mob, and there shooting a differnt one, or same one?
ok i knew i would have this problem explainging it:
Basically despite the fact that i am the only rifleman in the group of around 8 players, im dishin out mindshot 2 and headshot 3 spam dealin 2.5k-4.5k on average, not to mention an extra bleed every 10 sec or so for 1.5k, in a matter of 15-30 sec i drain a sigle targets mind before all the other players even have it down to 1/4 its normal health, im not sayin this happens all the time its jsut generally what the outcome of it is while im in groups.
Could I getthe coordsfor one of these faction dungeons?
