Rifleman Archive

Dev1: I got a great idea, lets give TKA a smaller timer for knockdowns!

Dev2: OK, I like it, But what about this 2.5x mod? its really killing the rifleman.

Dev1: the rifleman? we have rifleman? oh well, its probably not a big issue.

I have friends that are TKM, so you good for them, but with this 2.5x mod out this is crap, Im sorry but from 64m away there should be no TKA that can live a charge on me, but instead I miss cause they are running , and get absulutly hammered when they get to me.

Riflemanare broke, and the only thing for us in the big monthly update was a fix that was suppost to be in a month ago.. AP3 for T21...

No we didnt get lower special costs, no T21s didnt get unnerfed, no the 2.5x mod is still here.....

Are they even listening to us!?

I agree. What the devs don't understand is that a moving target is only a hard target to hit when it moves left/right, etc. and NOT WHEN IT IS CHARGING THE RIFLEMAN DIRECTLY! Sooo...

1. In the above situation, where the opponent is charging the rifleman, I propose a 2.5x damage multiplier!

Now that's game balance.

2. Furthermore, increase the chance to hit by +25!

3. And, of course, create some code to figure where the target is in relation to the direction the marksman is facing: The more deviant the path of the target towards or away from the marksman, the harder it is to hit the target; conversely, the less deviant the path towards or away from the marksman, the easier it is to hit. Thus, a direct charge against the marksman by a melee mob/PC would incur no penalty (though a bonus to hitwould be incurred for charging).

The 2.5x melee penalty is the saving grace of this class right now. Careful what you wish for, we may get it.

"The patch after 2.5x melee damage is removed we WILL be nerfed."

They said they are reducing it for Carbineers and Pistol33rs also, ours will still be the highest at 1.5x. Carbineers will be 1x and pistol33rs will be .5x. So they are reducing everyones, we will still be the worst against melee.

So pistoleers will take half damage from melee?

That's wierd. Are they going to reduce their running speed while shooting too?

Artisan 3/0/0/4          Scout 4/0/4/2


Brawler 4/0/0/0         Smuggler 1/0/1/0


Marksman 4/4/0/4      Rifleman 4/1/3/3

Don't forget they are giving pistoleers griefing abilities also. There disarm shot is going to damage weapons, most likely it will be like the CM griefing. Probably still be able to attack a player with it even though they are incapped since they are targeting an object with it.

Guess I won't be doing any pvp for awhile after they fix them.

OMG this is getting bad, Its like the devs see us as slow people, carrying huge slow guns and that any drunken thief could charge us from 64m and kill us in 2 punches.....

I am so sick of our accuarcy and the 2.5x mod.

When you fire as slow as we do we cant afford to miss... this is getting out of hand because we havent even seen them try to fix us, it just seems they are making it worse...

Allowing disarm shot to damage weapons is completely stupid... this has no purpose other than to cause griefing.

I always envisions dissarm shot as something that unequipped your weapon. Likewise it should be on a 30 sec timer to keep it from being abused.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of drugs the devs are one.
