Either Remove these "Stupid" Terrain Restrictions you have placed on the Rifleman Concealment Skills or Re-Render Each Planet to a Completely Flat Plane!!!!!


No other Eleite Proffession has Dumbass Restrictions on them to make their Specials work, so why should a Rifleman have to Screw around for 1/2hr on a Nest or NPC Mission to Find "Just the Right SPOT"?


It's Crapp...for the piddly ammount of damage these moves do, the Restrictions are utterly un-warrented..!!


Only being able to Cover i the Ground is 100% Flat, is utterly un-realistic what on earth possesed you to put those sort of draconian laws into place for our Profession? What the Hell did we ever do to you to Deserve this kind of treatment?


I'll Cancel my accounts in about a week if this isn't resolved.

Actually, I thought the restrictions were a known bug they are working on. I mean, seriously, there's no LOGICAL reason for them to be there. A sniper will take up poisition anywhere, so long as he isn't seen. Rarely does that include a perfectly flat surface.

The point here is, why should anyone have to continue paying a monthly subscription for something that don' t work right.


If you rent a TV& it had a broken screen when it got to your home, would you send it back & refuse to pay untill it was fixed?Same applies here, it's broke. Rifleman is severley crippled atm & some people might choose not to pay for something they can't use.


It's no use "pointing & laughing" at people because you think they are crying or whining, you don't know the person or what the persons financial situations are, so how dare you make gestures & remarks meant to insult someone you don't know, simply because they want to take their leave.


Although i di Understand where your remarks are comming from, the frustration a 10 Year old child feels when he is constantly bullied at school & having his head flushed in the dunny every day, you feel that you have to get back at the world by taking un-warrented cheapshots at total strangers, cause you know they can't possibly retaliate & hurt you.


That said, try being constructive from now on & instead of that (Cya round & don't le the door hit ya on the way out), try some reasoning (DOH wait i forgot you are only 10 years old so thats not possible)... The more people you are hostile to & make feel unwealcome, the more that will never come back & reguardless what you have heard, the numbers leaving SWG right now are far more than those comming in. And with the Current "negative", Reviews SWG & the CU are getting in Gamespot & some other Highly Influential web & media outlets, there may not be a whole lot more ppl comming into thegame for sometime!

You're absolutely correct.

So either quit, or shut up till they fix it.

yeah dont whine about it just figure out ways for u to get it to work till they fix it. Took me awhile but what I do now is go prone for a good 20 seconds then fire away. So far it only fails one out of 20 times.

And how long would that be, a week? a month?, 6 Months?


Why pay account fees for possibly 6 months if you are un able to use the game?


Telling someone to Shut up or quit ait what i call constructive. I know i bearly get by, the $$ i use to play SWG could buy me extra clothing, food, etc.. But i choose to Play cause i love the game. But if i hit a wall & can't play, Why should I or anyone else just shut up & just take what ever SOE wants to serve up to me?


Have some compassion & understandf that people get frustrated sometimes. And when a budget is tight, seeing $$ wasted on something that don't work is hard thing to Just sit there & watch day in & day out.


Some people Just Don't have the Luxury of having Mum & Dad Foot the bills for six months while you sit there & wait for the game to be fixed. There's nothing more frustrating than having to make a judgment call, "shoild i quit till it gets better & save some $$ or wait & just fight noob Critters for mabe 6 months till its fixed", and telling a person to Shut & & leave will only streinghnthen their resolve to leave & not come back.


So, if you don't like or are fed up with "i'm quitting" posts, why don't you be the one to shut up & just ignore the post & move on, instead if giving into the urge to type out an insult to the person.


I dislike "I'm Quitting" Posts too, but i don't dislike them 1/2 as much as i dislike People who think they are above everyone else & therefore have the right to Insult another person for their frame of thaught. I tell yas now, if someone just walked up to me in the street & told me to pissoff & shut up, I'd Litterally put my fist through their skull. good thing My arm isn't 10,000 miles long!

As you so rightly said, you don't have to.

So don't. :-)

If I was unable to use the game, I wouldn't of course. However, even though cover, conceal and sniper rarely work for me, I'm still able to use the game. I'm taking out plenty of level 80 stuff using the other shots I have.

So while yes, I'd love to have these shots actually work more often than not, it's not a game breaking issue for me. I am still able to blast away and get level 80 melee mobs down to near half health before they reach me, which means I win. Rest a minute, rinse repeat.

I fail to see how you are unable to play. Unable to use the profession to it's fullest extent? Yes, I'd agree with that. But still playable.

Cancelled 7/27/05 - I joined to play Star Wars, not Jedi-BH Wars. You've ignored/gutted/abused just about every other profession in the game, while spending most of your time working on Jedi and BH as they related to Jedi. You've basically killed the game for anyone who doesn't want the glowstick. Congratulations.

Its clear that the game is playable. Perhaps you meant "pay to play a broken/bugged game" instead of "unable to play", In which case I would say that you've been playing to play a broken/bugged game since June 2003. But then again, maybe for some odd reason you are unable to play while many others are. Who knows.

hell, i personally would have no trouble taking cover as such on a uneven surface, arguably, it could make hiding just as easy, if not more... but hey, thats niether here nor there

Why bother trying to conceal yourself though, you get discovered after three shots anyway
