Rifleman Archive

Ok, this is getting irritating. Anyone else seem to notice that creatures are spawning or warping into melee range much more often?

I've gotten at max range from a group, gone prone, and then opened up a number of times only to have a melee suddenly appear behind me and finish me off. No idea where he came from as he wasn't on the radar before I started shooting.

I'm also having a problem where a creature will go from 64m to right on top of me instantly. Seem to occur mostly with the higher level creatures.

At 64m I should be able to get in 3-4 shots. But after one they are on top of me and since I'm wielding a rifle and prone you can guess the results.

Anyone else having this problem?

I have seen this and I am only lower level Rifle.

As you said, you go to ideal range for the gun, go prone and take ONE shot then the mob is behind you tearing you a new one!

It happened yesterday and I had a panny attack, forgot all my hotkeys, and almost got incapped by a mad whooping cough diseased Vrelt (the shame) :*(

Anything from the DEVS on this as its killing me and spoiling a good hunting session?

Ta!

Happens to me all the time, and except for rare instances is the ONLY reason I get incapped or slain by a mob. At first I thought it was due to lag between my station and the server, but I started monitoring the system status, and have noted that there are no variances between times that monsters run in like they should, and the times when they appear to teleport. It seems like a bug that should be quickly ironed out, as it affects everyone, on every server (except maybe the entertainers).

OK Guys.... Check the forums.... This subject has been brought up numerous times. It would help if you could BUMP some of the same threads that already have a LOT of responses so if by some major miracle the devs read it, they see a thread with lots of data to back it up instead of 3 or 4 replies.

I'm going to go back and BUMP a thread I started called 'Teleporting Monsters Suck'. Please add your story with as much details as possible to that thread and lets hope the devs see it...
Thanks...
