Rifleman Archive

Alright I have patiently been saving up my 100K for a flippin T-21 over the past month while accumulating rifle skills, hoping that it would eventually be debugged. So today it is "fixed" and I am very close to that 100k mark, so I give the only weaponsmith in the game an e-mail requesting one of these T-21's I've been dreaming about since beginning the riflemen path.

So today I get home and read the boards and come to find out YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE IT WAS BUGGED WITH NO AP?!?!?!?!?!?!

C'mon Holo what are you thinking. Riflemen is SO hard already against charging creatures, let alone PVP. Don't you realize that even with this powerful weapon we still ahve many many disadvantaged!?! You CANT do this to us! I finally am getting up in the riflemen tree and was hoping this T-21 would help me out, just like other professions have their advantages to help them. So now you're going to make our elite gun WORSE than the gun I already am using (laser rifle)...

PLEASE, that is ludicrous. So it does a lot of damage, whoop di doo. It also drains OUR mind pool.

Not to mention it costs 100K...100K on my server and only one weaponsmith has the resources to make one. I've been wokring my tail off to get this gun and now I come to find out you're going to make it worse than what I've had all along.

So, after my rant I've come to 2 choices.

A- Quit playing because all my hours have been put to waste

B- Totally abort my riflemen profession and take the flavor of the week professions (BH and pistoleer)

I don't want to work up another tree, nor do I want to keep getting my millions of XP with a inferior gun while dying constantly from being charged.

Just realize all the trouble you are causing for this is unnecessary..Leave it alone, theres not many riflemen anyway in this game for obvious reason. Don't discount us anymore

I BEG YOU PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riflemen are hated. Pistoleers are beloved. People are afraid of the CHANCE of a one shot kill. But spammed knockdowns aren't a problem. Pistoleers can spam knockdown from 64 meters out, get within range where you can't fire anymore and have their way with you without the courtesy of applying lube first. Having a Rifle that MIGHT be able to give a one shot kill would be overpowering to a class that SHOULD be extremely lethal from a ranged status.

That's like saying that a REAL sniper needs to hit his target 5 times in a row before he can die, and that target can shot back at you with a POS .22 and kill you with no problems. Ridiculous.

ROFL chance of a one shot kill ? You never tested the weapon did you? There was NEVER a chance at a one shot kill, top damage out of 30 to 40 shots on someone was 460 with headshot 3, and thats tested without armor, with armorweave, and with Composite (funny thing is, the damages were the SAME no mater what armor they wore.)

Once the 75 percent damage cut was in one shot kills became history.
