Rifleman Archive

After reading these posts for many weeks....it seems that EVERYone is becoming disenchanted with the rifleman profession. I can easily see how this happens if we continue to compare ourselves to other combat professions. If rifleman continue to do this...we will find nothing but dissatisfaction. As for me, I try to play the game without worrying about the other classes. Can I still go out and get experience? Yes. Can I still enjoy exploring new areas and planets? Yes. Can I still group with others and have a fun time? Yes. Do I hope that the rifleman skills will be addressed? Of course. Getting experience to earn a useless skill or special is, of course, frustrating. I do have hope that things will improve eventually. For the time being, and since I'm not a DEV, I cannot change the current state of rifleman. And since I hate whining, my only recourse is to try to enjoy things as they are....either that or stop playing the game. Immerse yourself in your character....take pride in being one of the few rifleman...and keep hope alive.

I actually agree with you, but like you said it is frustrating at times and we need to vent at times too. I have started grouping with friends more often, sure I don't get the same xp as them, but I try not to think about it and just have fun. And overall it is fun, gonna keep up the grind to master and keep the faith that things will change, of course I am also still holding on to my skald in DAoC.....

Glad to hear.
Ya know....I remember a time when everyone was BEGGING for SWG to be released. People screamed thast they didn't care if it had bugs or issues to be resolved. I was one of them.... Well...they released the game and now here we are- whining that there are bugs ans issues to be resolved. I, for one, can accept that. We have the game. Either play it and find things to love about it (of which there are many) or stop playing it until you feel it has reached a level of polish which is acceptable. Of course we need to vent once in awhile. I just feel it has reached sad proportions.

P.S...what skill should I choose next? Sniping IV or start some other line?

I would NEVER ever beg for any software to be released with bugs. As a matter of fact I think that a company should be held liable for any DEFECT in thier product, and bugs are definitly a defect. As of right now, SOE should be paying me to play. The only reason I am still playing is because I was stupid enough to pay for 12 months up front. I keep taking breaks and comming back, hoping that things will be better. Most of the time, they're worse.

I don't know about anyone else... but whatever I say on the boardshas very LITTLE to do with how much I enjoy the game. Maybe its because I see the boards as a way to vent some of my desire to design games.

Regardless of what I say, I still go home every **edit** night and play my rifleman and have a blast doing it.

Often times I think people get frustrated on the boards for one of two reasons: either they catch a glimmer of what swg is truly capable of (but think its completely broken mechanically) or they think the game is sooo close to perfect and just want their one pet peeve fixed to help them enjoy it that much more.

I enjoy roleplaying the rifleman, even if i do suck in pvp. My character is a grouchy, anti-social, environmentalist, deeply respectful, thoughtful and conscientioussniper who joined the rebellion because he had never stood up to anything in his life and one day he ate abadfanned rawl-ke-boband grew a *edit* conscience. So I die once in a while. All things are impermanent anyway.
