Rifleman Archive

Hey guys,

First off, I'm not an exploiter, never have been, never will be.

But, an exploit fix in the last patch was waaay overdone, and this is more of a warning to my fellow rifleman than anything. Here'sone example of what happened to meseveral times last night.

So I'm running rebel destroy missions out of Anchorhead last night, and going along just fine. I come up on one of my targets, see the NPC imp walking back and forth, unaware of me, and I get ready for my first shot.

Prone, Cover, Flurry 1

Woot, he's dizzy. Second shot, third, fourth.

Uh oh, Mr. Imp doesn't like getting nailed, so he runs for cover behind one of the tents set up around his base. Alright. I'm a sniper. I'm patient. I'll just wait for him to roll out of cover. Then suddenly, good old obstacle "fix" comes in. Only thing is, he didn't just warp past the tent, oh no, he warped right next to me!(Iwas 60m away, as usual) I use a two-handed curved sword as my secondary "oh <beep> I'm in trouble" weapon, so I'm nailing the stand button and trying to hit my sword key. Nope, too late. Impie pulled out his Long Axe, got the kneeling bonus multiplier, and vs. rifle bonus multiplier,and corpsedme in one swing.

Not cool devs. But I'm a rifleman, silly me for not using a pistol or something.

Heh every 3 or 4 pulls from Baz Nitches I get them teleporting right on top of me,1 I can normally WS away but when 2 or more insta hit you it's lights out time.

I hunt on lok quit a bit and last night I had tons of mobs warping on me, even one npc who agroed on me I swam across the river ran up a monster cliff and back down it , and whamo he ported right on top of me . Incap and DBed me.

Yea, happened to me on several occasions yesterday and today.

This happened to me quite a bit today. A couple times mobs spawned on me while I was shooting at the lair from 64 meters and since this never happened before the patch I assume it's related. They need to keep the porting distance to just around the object that's in the way.
