M8 your like me...this game rocks big time, so does this profession. im new to it but im liking what i see, and to the guy who sais we should need unarmed 4...What the hell are you talking about (i dont mean thta to be rude) but if you shooting, and someone gets upclose, then just mash him in the head with the but of your gun!, dont take 120 thousand XP to lear how to bang your gun off someones head!.

This is an awesome idea, not originial but the BEST way iv seen it described. the bayonette thing is not maybe the way to go, a knife on the end of your T21 hehe.

Maybe....there is someoway it can be done, like riflebutt combo 1 and 2, 1 KD them and 2 KD/Dizzy + Bleed.

It would totaly negate the balance though....we are supposed to be limeted in melee circumstances. like maybe just combo 1 would be best, which ONLY does KD so we can back off to a better distance, KD dizzy is a bit much. as TKA will have an unfair disadvantage. like a TKA cant throw a knife if your head from 60m away and KD/Dizzy you giving them a chance to move in) (real ranged damage) , so why should be be able to do melee

damage to them?

Scope on a T21 was more of a 'figure of speach', btw...

Rifle Butting/Bayonetting is not a rifle skill...it's a melee skill, hence a BRAWLER pre req...heck if you wanted it that bad, all you need is Unarmed IV + Novice TKA + 1 Block for the unarmed Knockdown as it is.....Seeing how rifles only requires 1 tree from the Marx-man tree, to me this seems to already be available to you. Try it out, let us know how it works. Maybe we could also give riflemen Creature Level + 20, and the ability to use one handed swords since we can swing our rifles so well, plus we'll need to have + 25 Med use because all of our stats are migrated to mind, so we should be smarter too...and don't get me started talking about how we need to clean our weapons in the field, so we should have Rifle Weapon Repair + 50........

No I dont agree.

Like the other guy said if you want a KD you goto another skill tree, you have the luxury of having alot of spare skill points.

I mean rifle is great how it is, WE DONT NEED A KD, believe me. And the number one reason why it wont be put in, is that it doesnt fit our playstyle. The rifle class is a sniper/gunner depenind how you look at it. Rifle is not meant for close combat. In the hope of maintianing balance between classes, we need to be weak close up. And pistol should be weak at long range (note the use of the word should)

Like filtered said you could go crazy thinking up ways in which we COULD get more skills because it happens in real life. But it doesnt fit the playstyle the class has.

Stop whining rifle is perfect the way it is.

Hmm no KD, shouldnt out Headshot attcks knockdown and dizzy people anyway? i mean a bullet solid metal projectile flying and hundreds of miles an hour hitting you right in the head from a trained sniper... and you turm around and just run towards me kicking and punching?

hmm, i dont think the KD is so far fetched for us do you? lol

Sorry Enclave, chitty day at work. I really hate my boss, my boss's boss, the mayor, and the idiot who whined so loud that I had to suddenly stop what I was doing just to take care of their stupid a$$ $150.00 invoice that absolutely HAD to be paid RIGHT THE F NOW or their entire workforce will not get their payroll. Sorry ranting, and I just blew up on you guys here when all I really need to do is go and kill something in game. Please accept my apologies for being so rude and sarcastic earlier. /deepbow
