ok, this stuff of npc's warping 65+ meters is KILLING me(literally ). i go to attack a rebel npc that is exactly 64 meters away. his buddies are 73 meters away. i do 1 attack on the npc 64 meters away, of course he doesnt see me, but his friends do. BAM! warped right next to me on either side, one does a 250 unarmed hit to my action, the other a 340 hit to my health. well theres goes me getting any kind of rifle xp for that round. i have to turn around and run off shooting with my pistol (pistol spec) while stimming myself. this is an absolute killer to riflemen because of 2.5x damage mulitplier

Yeah, this has been a huge problem for me as well. But I don't have extra points to be able to invest into pistol. I just have to kneel there and spam headshot and hope one of them connects. More often than not, they don't... so I die.

And I hate it when they shoot through walls, then when you shoot back, they warp. This needs to be fixed. I think it was only supposed to be 10-15m. Not 70m.

I believe the npcs started warping when the devs tried to fix another problem, but it seems to me that the solution is worst then the old problem. This npc warping has got to stop. Please Devs give these npcs some sort of AI so they don't have to warp at us. It's getting rediculouse..

For me, the best solution is, of course, switching to pistol when they get in melee range. (sad, isn't it?)

Alternatively though, switching to a spraystick has gotten me out of a lot of otherwise deadly encounters. The range mods on it are drastically more pistol-like than any conventional rifle. Imo, no rifleman should be without one.

Well, I think people were kiting NPCs by getting them stuck behind walls so the devs decided to allow them to warp about 10m or so to get away from the walls. However, they warp to the person now instead of just outside of the wall.

Anyway, do spraysticks really work? It seems that all the onesI find on my server have a -3 range at the ideal range. That always kinda turned me off.

There is a fairly detailed discussion of this problem in the "Teleporting Monsters Suck" thread in this forum. This is the THIRD time in the last day that someone has started this discussion. I am trying to get everyone to post to the "Teleporting" thread so we can get ALL of our complaints in ONE THREAD so Aldeon can point the Devs to it. If you have the energy, please go find the "Teleporting Monsters Suck" thread and had a detailed story to it....
Thanks...
