yay I'm a heavy gunner

[tetra]

or whatever the title was when I got 100 2 handed ranged last night. Between running back to town every 40 kills/hour, and being accused of exploiting for shooting while running by someone who should really know better... it was a "fun" night getting those last couple levels in before 100.

But hey... instead of doing ~193 damage every 1.5s for a mere 4 mats per minute (2 resin, 1 oil, 1 bark)... I can now do ~208 damage every 1.5s for the same cheap cheap cheap cost of 4 mats per minute.... and it's only a tiny 125-200 credit action per shot once you throw decent accuracy and hitrate stanzas in!.

Soloing ranged fight is almost as much "fun" as asking your group "hey guys, mind if i have all the ammo clips/bullet/explosive mats to make 10-15 minutes or so more ammo."[/i] or asking every half hour to an hour "Hey guys, who wants to pull for a bit... I need to run back to town to stock up on more ammo, deathport back out here, and snake my way back through the mobs to you guys again since I'm out of ammo". I must say, that it's right up there with burning through three full packers of ammo mats in a couple days of playing.

I'm being silly though... I mean, someone at nevrax saw the pathetic damage, silly amounts of mats that ranged uses, and stupidly low amount of time they could spend in the field on a full inventory of ammo... along with the little "oops" where they forgot to boost the speed of ranged weapons like melee during beta when they removed the hitrate bricks originally. So they decided to fix it by giving us the same old +hitrate bricks that were removed for being too expensive, and an amazing sixteen shots more for every clip!

Well got-dang! I knew just at a glance this was going to be another rant about ranged weapons.... I know you love 'em Tetra. But man.... we all know they suck and it's not going to change. Why do you have to keep beating them over the head with the obvious?

Sorry man, it's a pity 'n all... but that's how it is. It sucks and it's not going to change. Enjoy your new mounts when you get them.

I for one am gonna say grats to Tetra, as I am getting closer to getting a 'gunman' title myself and am only looking forward to the fun grind in my other ranged line after that goal gets achieved...it would be interesting to see how many total 100+ gunmans/heavy gunmans there are spread out across all 4 servers....

Now now, don't be modest.

I think whining on every thread you've stuck your nose into qualifies you for the Bjorg Bjorgson International Troll of the Year Award (originally instituted to recognise great acts of trollery in medieval scandanavia following an incident with some goats, but recently updated to take into account the advent of the internet).

Suck it up buddy, I got a few days to go yet.... and stop playing with those goats.

LOL trolls throwing mud at one another was never so entertaining before. If you are going to name call, at least yall did it with humor.

The RSPCA doesn't think what he does is all that funny. Even as we speak they're testing the poor goats for sexually transmitted diseases.

I can sooo much feel what tetra says, I decided to get a gunners carrer and I am finding myself changing back and forth to melee and harvesting all the time, I do like soloing cause I get more things done my way than otherwise but being a solo gunner is a real pain in the arse. Yes ranges suck I even got a crfter carrer aside with my gunner to make better autolaunchers with range...and as everybody knows autolauncher crafting starts above...crafting 50, and i have to ask why is this? Whats the uber things you do with this autolauncher that has to drive you through the pains of being a lvl50 crafter just to make an autolauncher with a bit more crappy range? I like to hunt mobes from far and when they aproach slaughter them with circular attack melee. An uber soloer, but it seems its way to difficult in Ryzom yet. Please fix this. I bet we can deal with their so called "uber bosses" in an equal lvl if they do...still remember the auto respawn they put around Henchmen of Sirgio in Hidden Source, this is poor feature implementing, they need to do some serious job here. People are not the noobs they used to be playing MMOs 10 years back.
