Thread: Please Reed and Head before Posting to this thread on Dev Tracker
If you choose to respond please follow the following guidlines
1.) Stick to the issues that I have listed, these are extremely valid, and I have yet seen valid arguments to them.
2.) Do not discuss your opinion of this class about being able to do this or that class can do that. That is not the point of the thread. The point we are trying to make is that RIFLEMAN are broken and what is broken about it.
3.) Be Civil at all times......... even if someone flames you. Name calling or flaming is not cool and does not help get our problems fixed.
4.) If you see a comment that non RM makes that doesnt seem to be valid, think before you retort.
I believe if we can just get 3 of the 6 issues fixed and all of the bugs listed, we would be viable as a profession, all 6 would be nice, but I think it would cause an imbalance. Here is the orignal post with link to thread at bottom
I really wish the people who do not play rifleman not comment on this. Until they try leveling and playing one to the second tier of boxes at minimum (that should give you an idea of our grief).
RIFLEMEN PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY REFERENCE TO ANY OTHER PROFESSION IN REPLYING TO THIS POST. THIS IS NOT ABOUT GETTING OTHER CLASSES NERFED, ITS ABOUT GETTING US TO WHERE WE CAN FAIRLY COMPETE. I could care less about the fact that BH can do mind dmg, let em have it, that all other classes can heal the HAM pools they use, I do not care about this. I would just like to see any 3 of these numbered issues fixed as soon as possible with the other 3 to at least be on the list to be considered. I only say 3 because if ANY of these 3 issues were fixed…… we would have some viability.
1.) We fire at a much slower rate than almost all classes. If we get in first shot, and are lucky enough to connect (see issue #4) then we have a 50-50 chance, a little better if you connect with a good damaging bleed.
2.) Our "Elite Weapon" the T21 is not only less powerful than the laser rifle which is second? Tier Marksman. It does more damage to us than it does to our enemy.
3.) We suffer from a 2.5 multiplier against melee.......... I was one shot last night for 1080 Dmg by a blue mob last night that I only get 59 XP off …………… this is NOT an exaggeration. Its still in my combat logs.
4.) Are totally inaccurate missing more than we hit.
-We have almost 0 chance hitting the broad side of a star destroyer from inside 50m
-At optimal range we might have a 40 - 60% chance of hitting the broadside of the same star destroyer.
This improves somewhat if you are 55-65m out and remain prone, however, usually by the second shot you need to either A.) Get up and kite. B.) Remain in position and hope you get lucky and hit the one last shot as the mob or PC is running up on you. C.) Lay and wait for pending doom and clone activation.
Holo has said this isn’t so…………. But I think they really need to look at this
5.) Get much less XP than other players grouped, meaning we have to solo......... with all these bugs just to get decent XP with lots of fun sitting waiting for mind to regen compounded by stutter step, us warping when going prone, and my all time favorite getting may butt kicked by a mob that was 60m out one second and instantly was on top of me which = 1 screwed rifleman.
6.) Ham Costs on most weapons are much higher than the equivalent for other classes.
Bugs that I do not think are class specific that affect rifleman heavily (as well as other classes I’m sure) are
Stutter Step
Warp While Prone
NPCs being at a distance disappearing and instantly respawning o top of us
I really hope that the when/if the Devs fix the rifleman that it does not come at the cost of another profession seeing reduced dmg, or reduced skill abilities.
The last 3 bugs for some odd reason have not been considered a priority, yet, they show a serious flaw in the game interface, and can have serious impact to both the playability and the enjoyment of the game ( I believe that there was a post by Holocron that this was not a priority)

Whoare you to lay down guidelines? I pay for the game like you and can use the boards to post same as you. Curb the ego.
Ohhh and your subject title should read as:
Please read and heed before posting to this thread on Dev tracker.
Jurias,
I saidPlease use the following guidelines which means I am ASKING you to use them, not mandating. If it comes off that way, I apologize
I'm simply trying to keep our argument concise and to the point. If you go off trying to erode other professions crying they have this or that........ your going to get nothing but resistance and flames from the other professions. If you flame, or respond to flames in kind, it makes it difficult to tell who the idiot really is.
The issues I layed out are the Main breaking issues for Rifleman and is based in fact and can be heavily argued by us without eroding at other professions.
Sorry you cant appreciate that.
