Rifleman Archive

I'm not sure this is a rifleman problem only - but since my character is a rifleman I thought this is the appropriate forum.

Since about a week or so I have a massive problem with my character not able to shoot. When I'm being attacked or I want to attack something or someone I'm entering combat mode - but my rifle doesn't shoot.... I'm taking all the hits. My char just stands there and is doing nothing... I notice the combat queue jumping arround aimlessly (despite that I'm keeping the target) - specials are not working either. It happens a lot, usually after I've been online for a while.

I have no idea what's going on .

The only thing thats helps for me is relogging and hoping that this strange bug doesn't return.

Aye this has happened to me as well. The best and only thing to do is log out then in again. Also you might want to /bug it when u get in game.

Yeah, it's the only thing that works. I was hunting with a friend on Endor yesterday... I had to relog every 15 minutes.

Over the the last 2 day i have spent 9 hours on lok, doing nyms missions.

I get this bug all the time, manly using straff2 shots.

Let me explain

type 1 situation.

Ride up to camp, target closest nps, spam 10 straff2 hots, if u then target the camp, and hit straff2 spam marco , then camp will not take any damage (sometimes).

WHen this happens u cannot re_target, u are locked onto the camp , and nothing takes damage, u can clear command que and try and retarget , but it does not work.

If u run of range of the camp u can retarget.

type 2 situation.

u straf2 spam a mob , your target gets to 1% ham , then he turns his back on u a and stopps taking damage, sometimes u cannot retarget, and nothing takes damage.

I can believe this bug was intoduced about the sam time the imp deserters (on lok) stopped helpign me with my missions, when they were close to me (were the devs testing the persuasion code , then removed it leavign buggs??)

U see soem times the imp deserter runs up to me s if he is has aggroe'd me , then turns and walks away.

Seems to me there are 2 buggs here, the area attack bug, and a npc,player targetting bug

for example. i have seem npc,s ignore me a 1)atttack my swoop, then attack his own camp. 2) attack eack other

What ever thses bugs are they hav been in the game far to long, they are not just a "small naggy little bug"

A bug where u cannot hit your enemy is a "huge game breaking bug" and its been happening for weeks.

and while i am @ it, they said they fixed the "warping target bug" , they may have reduced it, but i still see it on npc's on lok

Another bug that seems to be the fasion lately is my mission disppearing while i am shooting the camp, or npc's aroudn the camp

These bugs, on the scale i use to measure bugs,my so called "Gump meter"

Are "gump level 7" bugs (warp bug is level 2). @ this level of gumpness , the player will feel huge levels of frustration as he tries to kill his targets, while trying to stay alive. Continued playing @ this level of gump gameplay ,may lead to extreme disatisfation with the game, long term exposure will lead to subscription cancelation.

I have noticed this as well. An easy solution as it happens is to hit "peace" then begin shooting at your next target with a shot that has no area affect. You can launch back into a Strafe Spam again, just need to lead off with a single target shot. I use Flurry1 or Mind2.

make sure that you are not in AFK mode (user set) if you are you will find it hard to attack and you will not counterattack without using specials. they changed afk so that no auto attacks work anymore while afk (at least for some people)

As for doing specials and them locking. This has been a long standing issue with AOE attacks (affects swordsmen, pikeman and carbineers as well (probably others but I don't follow their professions)) and hopefully will be fixed with the CURB if not sooner. As we have not seen a fix for it in 6 months of /bugging it I don't see it happening before the curb though T_T

There are two bugs here, one bug as described by Sqwert isresolved by clearing the combat queue, hiting peace and attacking again - sometimes when you fight a large mob it can be very annoying because you can't peace out easily.

The one I'm experiencing since a couple days seems to bea different one though and it is a very new bug.It can only be resolved through reloging (disconnect and reconnect, no need to restart) or taking a shuttle .
