Maybe it's just me, I noticed I was doing significantly less damage today... Every now and then I would hit for good damage, but overall seemed lower...

Anyone else notice anything?

Well to whoever 1 starred me thanks for having the balls to come in and share your opinion.

I asked a simple question, I have seen a few others mention the possibility and I noticed some oddities today as well so I figured I would see if anyone else noticed anything...

+1 for the trolls...

i havent noticed less dmg.... wait a min. Maybe i havent noticed because i havent been able to HIT ANYTHING!!!!

We are Rifleman! We study SNIPING! = we should be the most accurate in the game PERIOD!

PS. FREE BOOURNS

Riddla?

I can still kill gnorts as of tonight, but ya, takes me a few hits since patch.

riddla, try using /aim once or twice before each firing. It helps a LOT on accuracy. Sure, it takes longer, but if you're prone, and u can get two shots off with a laser or T21 before having to stand and run, all the better.

I do this tactic, then switch to a spraystick (although the thread on the E-11has me saving up for one) and do /aim /headshot2 and it works pretty well. Sure, I can get incapped more often cause I'm firing slower, but at least I know my shots hit more often...

Using aim for accuracy bonuses makes sense...except....

When I use my pistol with pistol2 in marksman I seemingly never miss. Maybe 1 in every 25 shots. Yet with rifle I miss about 4 out of 10.

Pistol doesn't require aim to be this accurate. My numbers are not exact so plz dont come in here and flame me for incorrect numbers. I can say for a fact that I miss way more with rifle at 3/2/2/3 in rifleman and only pistol2 in marksman for pistols.

Rifles are more accurate than pistols by nature in real life...why not in swg? Without using AIM?

what distance do you stand? with my laser rifle i hit 9/10 times with 55 to 60m distance...

mob comes close = i hit 1/10 times if im lucky...

i dont think thats a bug...

I have to say that I rarely miss, maybe once every 50 shots. could it be the rifle you are all using? what are your range modifiers on them? And at what range are you sitting at?

A few weeks ago, I was hitting roughly 75%-80% of the time when hunting Snorbals on Lok. Yesterday, I was on Rori, occasionally one-shotting nudfuhs with my laser rifle. I hit 40-50% of the time.

However, it may be creature-dependent. I haven't returned to Lok since the nerfing of the Snorbal missions. The developers did say that they "fixed" ranged defense. Maybe some creatures actually have the skill. Stranger nerfs have happened here. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to find out that the Nudfuh has a +30 to ranged defense which is now active.

they fixed ranged defense????

so that means i should get hit less now at range right?

in the past teeing off against a guy with a pistol, i would miss every shot at a good range (45-55) and the pistol user would land every shot.

maybe now i have a chance against someone with a pistol?
