Thread: Plans for Rifleman
No facts on rumors you said.
Here is a good fact though:
Player (And at one point dev) proposed speed caps - Pistol 0.5 Rifle 3.0. To make DPS same take Stopping Shot from pistol (about 2500 when I used it before) multiply by 6 and then rifle special has to do 15000 damage.
Do you really think rifleman will get a 15k special?
In addition I read a dev post stating how speed caps can't go below 1.0 for technical reasons, and for playability reasons they won't cap a rifle at 3.0.
As for accuracy I keep reading that pistoleers are more accurate at 64m then riflemen.
I don't think the speed caps will ever happen.
When Randonb(Pistoleer Correspondent) was talking about the Dual weild ability, he made referances to the fact that a speed cap for rifleman was talked about, but they decided it would screw us over majorly so they decided not to implement one.
Now maybe the dev's are going to do one anyway but I doubt it, the revamp should be interesting though.
