Rifleman Archive

I solo killed one of these thing this morning. It took about 30 to 40 minutes. I burned through my droid, two full grown Greater Sludge Panthers (one at a time), an AT-ST that got killed, and about half the life on a second one (what good are they now that they have been nerfed up anyway...). I also had toeat 6 Muon Golds, and used 5 rifle powerups, and several tentsin order to pull this off. In the end, I got about 2300 rifle XP? I have been able to get 3K from snakes and bats on Yavin... What gives? It was satisfying to survive (only got incapped twice), and it was good pratice to switch between guns to see their effects, but why so little XP, and no loot, and almost no hide to collect really from such a tank? Just wondered if anyone had any good ideas?

It could be several things:

First, there is an exp cap at each level of rifle. It is usually based on your highest single tier skill, but is also affected by the total skills you have. (I do not know the formula, just the perceived effects)

Second, if you killed it by bleeds, and your pets did the majority or even a plurality of damage you would get less exp. Damage from bleeds does not count.

Sometimes the damage resets if the combat lapses for more than a minute or so. (this means that you don't get "credit" for damage in earlier parts of the fight)

That is the best i can think of, hope it helps.

pets got wasted the damage they dealt to much damage and took to much xp away from you. and btw how did you have an atst fight the dune kimo i thought they took thoughs out of pve.

i get 5k xp from voritors on dantooine, and also 5k from dark jedi knights

i assume thats my cap

I killed some night sisters and got 0 xp.

I believe this is the XP for everything, no matter what you use, guns, fists or pets....

Don't mean to be too rude butyou have the smell ofBS all over you...........You shouldn't be able to use your AT-ST on non-factioned mobs........unless of course one of those Rebel Creature Handler camps managed to tame a Giant Dune Kimogila . Im pretty sure you're just lying but please, correct me if im wrong and I do not know of some exploit to get around that....

weapon xp is capped at around 5k . using pets steal alot of xp. about a third.

so to kill a kimo was just for fun!

Sometimes AT STs will attack creatures that use an AOE attack. Giant Dune Kimogilas have an AOE disease.

I guess the idea that there is a max makes sense. I believe that my max is 3k right now... I am only a 0-0-0-1 Rifleman...

Regarding the AT-ST issue, yes there has been a patch, so you can not call three out at the same time now and go hunting ANYTHING any longer. However, if you take an Imperial mission and have one out with you while out to do it and run into a Krayt or Kimo, and it aggros you and it, it will fight back. WARNING - AT-STs die a lot quicker than they used to... LOL.

For those who don't believe that I "soloed" this thing (although some would argue that a 40 minute fight with pets and AT-STs isn't soloiing, but they would be morons...), here is a screen cap: http://www.dddesign.com/temp/kimo.jpgI got incapped the second I fired off the final shot and it slid right up to me. Kinda cool. It was fun, even without much XP. I killed 5 Jawas in 1 minute this morning for more rifle XP - LOL.

I believe that Faction Pets will react when attacked by anything, but they will not react when the player is attacked, or can be told to attack anything that is not connected with the GCW. If you issue the guard command and a Slinking Vorniker Hunter eats you, they will watch....

I agree with the assumption that your pets stole your xp. I was with my pa the other night and we went hunting on lok. The last thing we attacked was a giant kimo lair. The insuing battle took one pet and 8 of us to finish off the kimo. We had a very good combat medic healing our tank players, I was fortunate enough to run after the pet to heal it when it was about to incap. The kimo was pulled away from it and i was left standing at optimum range from a kimo that was busy attacking all of my clan mates. I began mind shot 1 mind shot 2, head shot 2 head shot 3 head shot 3, mindshot 1 mindshot2 cycle drained my mind dry drank some angarian fishak continued, aimed head shot 3 for a while. landed some great shots with both my ion rifle, and laser rifle with laser landing on hit on mind for 4000 damage. used two or three power ups. I watched as the kimo dropped from 80k of mind to 400 all from my attacks, and finished it off. Final xp was a little over 4k rifle xp.

I can get 3k easy on most other creatures so it wasnt great, but still about 3x more than anyone else recieved for killing the kimo.

How did you burn through 6 muon gold in 30-40 minutes? The upper + downer is 13 minutes each.
