Your new maps are totally sniper unfriendly. No high points, most facilities have fences on the roof and around the building. So snipers have to find a spot where they can watch for targets, because a sniper rifle is absolutely no good as an assault weapon, and the scout suits are so weak, in shield and armor.
Now add on to this that we have to actually take a step, or fire our weapon, which can give away our position because just scanning an area zooming in and out looking for a target trips the "TACNET sessions will expire if no action is taken" and if we see something coming through the buildings (so we don't want to give away our position) we are kicked out!
This is absolutely **! I played a long time to get to lvl 5 scout so I could use it for sniping. A LOT of time and also money to try to have something to enjoy playing the game.
What a waste. If I could, I would want all my money that I put into the game back, and would even like to get paid for the wasted time.
Please do something about this timer, at least for snipers. You created the suit, yet you continuously ignore the pleads of those using the scout suit - but you gladly listen to and respond to everyone who cries about afk'rs and the op sniper. A scout (especially a sniper using a scout suit) needs to be able to use the equipment that you make them work so hard to try to get leveled into, yet is then crippled even more by whiners that you listen to and want to take care of - not thinking about those of us that need to ly still, or move slowly.

It can be done. Use tactics, use strategy, coordinate with your team / squad, and find good locations. Strategy, tactics, teamwork.
Then how about removing the message in the Battle Finder that states:
"PUBLIC CONTRACTS
Issued by the corporations in high security space, these are available for LONE MERCENARIES or small squads."
Because by your words, "coordinate with your team / squad," you do not want "lone wolf" mercenaries that are snipers. We ar being forced to team up, or suck-it-up and die!
I have tried flying dropships, without skilling up, as I have been pouring all my SP into training to help be a sniper. Now I guess I need to waste time and SP to train up to use dropships to get me where I need to be to do the job that a sniper is suppose to do. But, wait! Then the enemy know to look for someone there... OMG, what a crok of YouKNowWhat. I sniper is suppose to be able to sneak to a location to do his job. He isn't suppose to have his team help him get there. He is suppose to be able to get there on his own, and (if he is working with a team) is suppose to be able to inform them of where the enemy is, and help (at the minimum) provide ground cover and to back them up.
As far as working with the "team." Have you gone into the public matches? Team members shoot at you, they try to run you down in vehicles, they (for the absolute majority of the matches) do not coordinate with anyone (other than a squad that they may have come into the match with) and are not a group dedicated to winning.
Ok, so maybe in the merc battles, and definitely in PC, but not the public matches.
Of course people ***** about snipers. They are the most hated in the game. Yet, if there were no snipers, then they would find some other type of player to complain about.
They can be killed 10 times by the same assault person, yet if they get killed once or twice by a sniper, then they want to ***** that the snipers are too OP.
I know that I am not the only one, as I play to be a sniper. That is all that I want to play as, and as such, I do try to work around all the past nerfs and bugs that I have had to deal with while playing this game; I do not want to be an assault, nor a dropship pilot, and even though I have trained up in using tanks, I find that it is not worth the SP or time (for me.)
And you want me to promote the game and try to bring in other players?
I do still have high hopes for the game, as I think that it can be a good game... but the dev's do need to give some consideration to snipers too; and not just give into the assault and others that hate us. |
