Rifleman Archive

Umm don't know whether we'll be nerfed or not ,probably will betho.....

But as for a kid contacting a CSR and being told they were nerfing rifleman, that's BS theirs no way a CSR would pass info like this along.If it's going to happen it will be announced on the forums through TH or someone else in the know, not passed onto some kid from an anonymous CSR.....

i've heard the same

1) stupid idea to make a hard cap (how the heck does will this affect the spraystick), but i do think the equation for the attack speed should be reworked.

2) bad idea to reduce the damage

3) from what i hear, there is a bug in the way the game computes the to-hit chance when holding a rifle. i haven't really seen any significant evidence (in my gameplay) to support this though. the defenses are higher than they should be - as they were designed when they 2.5x melee multiplier was in effect. there should be a bump in the state defenses, lower the melee/ranged a bit., and maybe bring block up a little bit higher

A speed cap would kill this profession. it takes roughly 2 or more Strafe 2 shots to kill a unbuffed person right? Who here think a TKA can not close the distance in 6 seconds and KD/dizzy us? Hell most battles are decided in the first 5 seconds anyway and now we get one shot and we are done.

I am also a TK as my secondary choice in Combat and I can confirm that if need be I can burstrun 64m to a target inside 3-5 seconds.. in that time I would be within striking / warcry / lungedistance.. easy.

So long as the Target doesn't run a way that is, and seriously, who wouldn't run away. You stay still in PVP and you are a dead man, plain and simple.

i'm with you - i don't see anything in my combat logs for block - for some reason i do get counterattack and dodge, still haven't figured that one out

Apparently it shows up as Counterattack sometimes instead of Block which is part of it's broken'ness.. I swear I have never seen it in my combat spam, ever.. hehe! Maybe it's just me.. Lord knows how you can Dodge a Laser Blast anyways hehe! It'd surely be moving at the Speed of Light right?
