Rifleman Archive

In the world of Star Wars Im a Mastermarksman and a low end Rifleman. Im climbing the tree in hopes of being a master Rifkemanone day.

I noticed a common theme that all Riflemen seem to be agreed upon. We are ignored as a proffesion. Currently The best Rifleman could go head to head against a pistoleer from 50m out and still loose. One Because we are slower but two because the pistoleers can shoot almost as well as we can from the same distance? They use specials like we do, but because they are faster they seem to win more often. Dont get me wrong im not saying that this is the case in all fights and that a rifleman could never beat a pistoleer because I have done so. My point is one that I have seen echoed amoungst the forums many many times. Usually in a more elaquent way than I could ever do. We are a skill tree that is in need of a masssive update. The Bh and commandos all the mellee fighters could all kill us if we went head to head one on one. (no healing) Even if we were at a 50m distance.

I have seen valid points on the forums here for months at a time regarding ways to fix and improve the skill tree. Some very lop sided while others are right on target. Apparently the Devs just dont see the forum posts. If they do, then logic would dictate that we as a skill tree are ignored.

I have a proposal to make them listen. Its so far out that I know it would work but the trick is to actually make this idea happen. Regardless of your proffession we all pay a great deal of time and money to SWG. Yet some skills are given a leg up on others while others (ie. Rifleman) seem to be ignored, with promises of correction and updates that never come. If we as a profession were to all go 1 month with out paying for the SWG think of the lost revenue. SOE would be hit hard and wonder why. If it was backed up by a rally cry of rifleman saying its in regard to the unjust way they have ignored us......They would be forced to really look at the problem and address it. Now I know the probability of this far out idea happening is far fetched but it would be one of impact if we could pull it off.

Im just tired of reading the forums and seeing us riflemen say the same thing month after month with out a correction ever actually happening. This frustration has led me to think of drastic solutions to force them to listen to us. Iono Im just sick of this and am considering saying forget SWG and going to another Online game company where maybe there isnt such a disregard for the customers.

There is an unbalanced nature in the force for Riflemen.

I don't know WHAT forum you've been reading, but Riflemen OWN and the Rifleman forum posts prove it.

You want an ignored profession? Try Ranger or Chef.

If any Rifleman is getting owned by a Pistoleer, its because he isn't using his skills and abilities properly and doesn't understand what his and his opponents weaknesses are. As a low level Rifleman I can understand your viewpoint. A low-level Pistoleer might have an edge on you if you try to Rambo him... but compare Master to Master and there IS no comparison.

Pathe
Master Ranger
Rifleman 4-1-4-4

I agree with Beausoleil, i'm already 4,4,0,4 rifleman in 4 days and they rule.

We are, at least for right now, one of the few combat professions in the game that is both balanced and fun to play ( for both PvP and PvE ). If you want to hear screaming in this forum, well, just wait till the day a speed cap goes into effect.

Ok maybe because Im so low on the rifleman tree is why I feel this way. although, I still believe that 1 on 1 pvp most other professions seem to own riflemen that I have seen. Keep in mind im only 3.5/0/0/1 on the tree so it may account for my view. Iono doesnt anyone out there think the Riflemen is getting the shaft?

stick with it, bud.. the pay off is at the end rather than the beginning as in some professions.

Absolutely 100% true

you drunk ass, rifleman have jawa ion rifles. and headshot, and mind bleed. we own (i was master, then holo said master BH)

ingnord hum sorry but no i just started rifel men and almost master and i have found that rifel men are verey powerfull both in pvp and in pve 2 X more then commando

let me alaberat

tuskin captoin now verey hared to kill becous they use 1 hit kill speceails 99% of the time

a commando goes to kill he has to get within 16m to burn he starts runing the caption argos shoots hits ded commando if he ant wareing armor

or he can use a havey wp wich 50% of the time and cost alot of mony and he proply still will loose

rifel men go pron 64mmind shot 1mind shot 2 get up walk back 100m caption argos you you just keep walking back to hes about haf mind bar go porn wait for him to get in rang and pop him you win with 4540 xp

pvp comando is good but a sniper hiting mind pool so fast and bleeding it from 64 m or even at 32mis much better

Trust me..you don't want the Devs to pay any attention to rifleman. B/C if they do, you can rest assured it will be in the form of a big NERF.

I'm a Master Rifleman and using different weapons, spices, foods, and tactics, I own anyone from 50m except maybe the damned carbine kd or flame kd.

I hope the Dev's ignore us more, when ever they pay attention to somebody they get nerfed.

Believe me rifleman is worth the long grind to master.

riflemen are extremely powerful IF you use your head a bit. currently the only things that can bring me down in combat is flame dot and poison/disease.
