Just found this out:

- 3 second speed cap for rifle. 1 second for pistols, 2 for carbines.

- Defense reduction. The numbers being tossed around were on par with TKA. 55 or so Ranged and 20 Melee. This I could deal with without much complaint.

- The kicker. Shot modifier reduction. Strafe2 being dropped to 4x. The rest of our AOE's dropping to 3x.


all i have to say is nice job soe! Go and ruin oneof your only non-broken proffesions and make pistoleer/bh the most ultimate PvP gods...pathetic..

It is very bad form to post what you claim devs have stated without providing people proof.

BS, this is all that publish 7 says about rifleman. This is a rumor. If they reduced our speed to 3sec we would all more or less be at novice again. I dont think they'll to this.

    Yes, it is a rumor with very good backing, it started when the devs accidently made everyone the CM or CH can't remember but made everyone the correspondant. So people who wouldn't have access to the correspondant board did, and that is where this nerf was seen. It is also scheduled for publish 8. AND NEVER EVER say a company won't do this when it involves money, crying nerf herders want it and they outnumber the people that don't want it, that simple.

    I have to seriously doubt that... Doing the suggested actions of Rifleman would make us completely useless, and I don't think the Devs have that in mind. I mean... Reducing high-level damage by a factor of 3?!? That completely nerfs the Rifleman to the stone age. Go somewhere else with your "rumors" please... : /

    Yes, it's a rumor that's getting more and more known...


    I've heard this for a couple weeks now. I always thought if they put a 3 second cap they would enhance the multipliers... but they didn't


    From the looks of it the devs are trying to make us into a sneaky sniper profession.... Speed cap and not so good AoE attacks anymore. If they are trying to implement this sneaky sniper idea they should enhance the multipliers for HS2 HS3 and give us some better specials other then the lame posture up attacks...


    That's just my idea :/

    okay if rifleman aren't spose to be "sneaky" sniper people then the dev's need to take all your cover and sniper shot's completely out of hte game. IMHO sniper shot is cheap it's the ONLY db shot in the game that actually works stopping shot it spose to incap or cause death but doesn't cause death in PvP like sniper shot does which is total b's. One profession shouldn't be so great that it gets a DB shot and no other profession does BUT that is just MY OPINION (also take not it was an imp that flew off the handle about a rumor, he's probably a stacker as well which is why he's upset) -LAUGHS-
