Hey All

I have a major gripe at the moment, in the way that we lose XP if we are incapped. I could be bugged, not sure!

Last night i took on two Storm Troppers - this is like 15K mind pool, with both of them firing at me so you could imagine what was going on.

Well, there we are, im going well, got MS on both of em, im healing myself, and trying to get some HS of as well. All is going well, when it starts to get hairy, I get close to death but due to a good stimpack i heal most of my damage, at this stage i think i got both ST's down to about 3k mind pool. (I love my 700 willpower)

So about 30 secs passed and again i get close, but the ST's are close, i heal myself, and they are real close but then i get hit to the all time by both ST's at the same time for about 900 damage and i was incapped and both where at around the 200 mark for mind pool, so i know the next mind pool bleed is going to do both of them in.

Now im not complaining about getting incapped, its part of the game, but surely, aslong as you are in the vicinity of the ST's when they die, even if you are incapped, you should get the XP? I mean i did over 14K mind pool damage to 2 ST's for what, they both die, while i am incapped so all my hard work is invain. That is about 7k Rifle XP and 700 combat XP, nothing to scoff at.

Same could be said if you kill one of them and they kill you. I had another instance where i was killed by an ST and the very second after i died he died, the clone option hadnt even come up, yet i still missed out on the XP.

In not sure if this is a bug or not, cuase i dont recall that happening before, but whatever it was it sure sucked.

Its hard enough being a Rifleman at the moment as it is, but if this is going to continue to happen, it will really push me towards another profession. I am finding that Rifleman are too disadvantaged in too many differnt situations for this to be a fun and enjoyable play style. And im abosultely sick of the crap that i hear, Mind cant be healed, that is crap! I know we do, but unless you have a medic standing next to you, they damage that can be done to you with bleeds etc.. is just as bad.

It is the only other profession that i am aware of that relies fully on another skill for it to be a viable profession. Without Ranger, i would surely suck, add to that the idea, that traps only work on creatures are crazy! Its a trap people, why cant they work on NPC's ( dont have problem with them not working on PC) ? Its crazy. There are just alot of things about this game that are simply wrong at the moment.

I was incapped by a crazied durni last night!!! And one more, last night playing i got hit twice by i thing that looked like a lizzard, which i didnt even see, yet becuase of the damage modifies i was gone before i had time to turn around. As i said before There are just alot of things about this game that are simply wrong at the moment.

A friend of mine asked me if it is worth him starting to play and i told him to wait 6 months, i love this game, but would recommend anyone starting to wait at least 6 months before starting out cause at the minute i think there are to many problems with the game, and the professions are clearly no where near balanced enough like SOE tries to preach. I understand that all professions have there benefits and negatives but when a profession has so many problems and another has hardly any (Pistols baby, the are even asking for dual weilding weapons, the cheek of thsoe guys) is simply mind boggliing.

At the moment Rifleman suck, will i give up? no! but still change has to be in the wind soon cuase im getting close to giving the whole game up.

Really disenchanted with this game at the moment!

OK..whew I'm not the only one that has had this problem...I i have found many time over I actually will kill something because it will bleed to death and get squat while incapped...Isn't an incapped just simply being knocked out...I gain the knowledge i should gain xp. T21's not where they suposed to be this is bunk and dont tell me to go have another one made I saved up forever to get the money for the one I have. It seems now that money is going to be harder now to raise good GAUD i played for 3 weeks and didnt get paid for a single mission so money has and continues to be a real ***** this nuts...I hunted last night with a group of four people I did a bleed shot on 6 pirates the others storm in I get incapped by another sniper shot I didnt get anything for my part of the effort zero xp for rifle zero xp for combat what gives this needs to be a hotfix now...as well as the T21's Pistol wielding foe are hitting me at 64 to 70 meters and i miss with a rifle come on...I dont expect make beleive to be real but it should be fair....
