Thread: Aldeon, what's happening with the flamer doing melee damage?
This is getting ridicilous. As a master rifleman I don't even care going 1on1 with a BH.. if I just play smart I never loose. But even a Novice Commando will make me run like hell, or he will kill me. I asked once before and I'm asking again. What's the status of this bug Aldeon? As I hope you have spoken to the Rifleman dev, commando dev and commando correspondent about it.
Come on the Dev's are bussy, they gotta work on the 3 second cap first. Oh and then giving BH's a new special for putting eyeshot in master. Oh and then making BH's more weapons. Oh and then player cities. Oh and then mounts. Oh and then Viehicels. Oh and don't forget the space expansion. Maybe after that they'll fixthemeele commando damageissue.
Post on general about it here:

"Commandos:
I’d rather not go through specific complaints about commando, but instead cover my view of the class, and potential changes.
I’m happy with the damage abilities of commandos. That being said, I am going to recategorize commando weapons to qualify as ranged weapons. This means that they won’t get a damage bonus against other ranged attacks, and all ranged defense modifiers will apply. "
Q3PO was the one who posted this, it is a long read so it was easy to miss.
This bug has been in the game a LONG time, ever since the big Commando 'fix', and given the dev's record with the Rifleman profession, I expect its fairly low priority. I've seen the devs respond directly to many pistoleer complaints (hence why I'm playing a Pistoleer now :0) but nothing on Rifles.
Expect a fix in a couple of weeks, if that--in the meantime, good luck in PvP!
The sad thing is there are still some Rifleman out there who had no idea this is a bug and can't figure out why BH Lightning Guns and Commando weps are doing 5k damage to them...
