DJINN Axeman Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 9	Posted - 2013.09.14 14:55:00 - [1] - Quote I have been a loyal sniper since the very beginning and up until now I have loved this game through thick and them. With each build and each update CCP has slowly taken away the sniper's abilities in the field. I was okay when CCP took away the tall and realistic landscapes of the first builds. I was okay when the sniper's gun shooting distance was nerfed. Heck, I was okay when CCP nerfed our line of sight to around 450 meters. Then I started to feel uneasy, but was still on board, when CCP gave everyone an armor boost and some weapons except for the sniper gun( by this, I mean, I have the proto charge sniper gun and I am forced to load all three of my high spots with complex light damage modifiers, instead of shielding. Even with all of that, it still takes some enemies up to four shots to kill which is almost impossible with all of the places to duck behind while waiting for a charge.)I was okay with all of this because I am always up for a challenge and I was a sniper in the army so I knew I could persevere. Only now, CCP has crossed the line! CCP built new maps with either cities in the middle or around each objective and they took the old maps and built cities around those objectives or buried the objective underground. This takes away the job of a sniper trying to hold an objective. Sure each map has one or two places to snipe from, but the problem is everyone knows about these areas and either they show up in pairs or threes in their lab which my proximity mines won't blow up and kill you or they grab their assault drop ship and just destroy you because they stay out of lab nade distance. There is no use for us in PC because you can easily put a proto forge in our spot to shoot our "one shot one kill" that we can't do plus they don't even have to be accurate and they can take out vehicles. So why waste a spot on a sniper. We no longer spark a fear that a sniper is supposed to do in warfare. I am terribly mad because had I had known about this I would have specialized into something else instead of sniper. What a waste of time and it is a shame because I used to really enjoy this game. Apparently, I am not the only one because I notice quite a few of my sniper brethren no longer are on and I can see there are a lot less people on when I log on. At least have the nerve to take away the sniper skills all together so nobody else wastes their time and money! CCP...let me know when you think you have made the sniper viable again because I think I'm done as well. Thanks for screwing this up.

Really?!... As if this increases your credibility in a fictional game? I'm still getting killed by snipers on maps so I don't know what to tell you. Mabye it's time to cross train that SP into other roles to support the team on non sniper maps. I'm pretty sure if you were in the army they tought you to adapt and overcome.

So I guess I have to clarify that I don't snipe from the redline and if you're still getting sniped its from a tac sniper which is a whole different style or someone that gets less than 10 kills in a skirmish which is not worth it for 500 war points. I understand the need to make it more difficult so I am not crying, but against full proto it is impossible.

Interplanetary Insanitarium Fraternity of St. Venefice Amarr Empire 244	Posted - 2013.09.14 20:07:00 - [8] - Quote Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You're doing it wrong. Why you specialized in sniper rifles is beyond me. I'm a dedi Heavy at around 4 mil SP. I'm at level 4 shield and armor, level 3 plates and reppers, level 3 rep tool for my commando, level 4 FG and HMG, level 3 laser rifle and level one every other light weapon. I'm dedicated to the roles I can play but in no way specialized. As to your complaints... Doesn't the Army teach you about teamwork? If you're not able to kill a guy because he ran behind cover, call that mofo out for your team. Or just HTFU and choose a different target that isn't in a compound. This isn't real life, everyone has shields and armor plating, you might be able to OHK a scout and some ill fit medium suits. Other than that, select your targets carefully, which is also something I would assume the Army would teach snipers to do.
TcuBe3 Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 51	Posted - 2013.09.14 20:52:00 - [9] - Quote I'm not really hating I'm just trying to understand what you did in the Army has any relevance to the game. We all have different experiences however not all of us feel obligated to share them with the world. I agree with you let's buff up sniper rifles. I feel sniper rifles were nerfed to discourage the redline and mcc sniping that run rampant in older builds. Also to note, I assume if you are telling the truth about your history you were either a infantryman or Cav. In that case, you should understand the concept of fire, maneuver and communication. Snipers aren't suppose to get a lot of kills they are used mostly for reconnaissance and terrain denial. Your major killers should be support by fire and assault. If you want kills, spec into something assault related.. My 2 cents

Remember that place where no enemies can get in and you are pretty much untouchable ??!! Yes that place what if we make that place like hmm a lot smaller and always make it so that you start down in a slight whole so whatever redline there is won't give you any advantage at all so you'll have to come out of there (and lose your thales). Now that sounds like fun

ShinyJay Destruction Reapers The Superpowers 95	Posted - 2013.09.15 01:14:00 - [13] - Quote ok, how about this for a red line. no redline, but a base of operation, with turrets that targets you as you get close to the base, with defense walls or something of the like. that way redline snipers have to get out in order to sniper. the walls can have multiple ways and secret ways to get out that will allow them space to get out without the spawn camping.

Now would be a good time to consider cross training or changing up how you snipe. You don't always have to sit in the mountains.

These perches are being phased out.

I understand the need to make it more difficult so I am not crying, but against full proto it is impossible. I am just pointing out the obvious and we shouldn't have to respec. It should be an equal playing field. As for my background as a military sniper...just give me your real name and I'll show you! Bro, if you were a real military sniper, and ever had combat experience as a MEMBER OF A SQUAD, and not a separate detachment acting as support, then you'd know to carry a non-"sniper" weapon to move with the squad and support with actual fire, and only use your rifle when you spot an enemy at-range trying to maeuver to over. and guess what? that kind of play style WORKS in DUST, run with an SMG, assist some kills, and when you are exiting into a more open-area, you can switch to your ranged weapon to pick off enemies before they enter cover or engagement range of your buddies. as for the classical "Sniper" sniper, i hate redline snipers, just like in real life, they contribute very little, except giving the noobies something to do when the two up on the ridge demand water because they spill't their canteen (cause i sure as hell wasnt running up an open hill in an area where they deemed it necessary to have a sniper perched). i guess the DUST equivalent of that would be getting the moron who brought nanohives to hike his ass up to the snipers for reloads.

This game is built around assault, everyone and everything else is support, even snipers. The name of the game is holding letters, not sitting your a s s on a perch and increasing your KDR. Wrong. The job of the sniper is clearly, objectively, and universally defined: Overwatch/support by fire from long range, observe enemy positions/movement/activity and give that intel to the rest of the team, if able to. Anything other than that is people trying to pick apart snipers because of their own annoyed frustration and stubborn indignation. The game wasn't built around assault, it was built around all roles being equally viable on the battlefield in their own way. It's just changed to cater to the lowest common denominator. Sitting on a perch and putting down enemies does hold letters. A dead clone can't hack a null cannon, nor can one stuck behind cover. A dead/suppressed logi can't heal/revive enemies, or drop hives/uplinks. A charged shot to a heavy softens him up for the rest of my team. Snipe someone waiting for a vehicle to drop and that vehicle will likely be hacked, destroyed, or will self-destruct. Snipe someone with a swarm launcher, and I've just saved a vehicle for my team. Snipers give a ton of support. Snipers =/= redline plinkers, no matter how much you and others want to fall back on that tired, stupid, inaccurate cop-out. The bottom line is, anyone who complains about REAL snipers is just throwing a childish tantrum because they don't like being killed by someone they couldn't conveniently spray with their insta-kill, auto-aim Duvolle, HMG, Mass Driver, etc, without going out of their way. The end.
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 96	Posted - 2013.09.15 08:48:00 - [20] - Quote All snipers and every sniper is a red line sniper. the gun doesn't actually function when outside there. that is why all the snipers are always there. lol, I've personally had an entire squad targeting me in a PC before. A Dropship heading over to my/the usual spots, an LAV with vehicle scanner roaming around for the unlikely spots, and 2 guys on the ground looking for me. That's how much hate snipers have. Sacrificing a game to harass a sniper. What exactly are snipers supposed to be allowed to do. they apparently aren't allowed to rack up kills. The game took away the capacity to survey by the F-up they call Uprising. And defense isn't allowed either. There is so much irrational hate against snipers. None of us are sitting in the redline if we want to be helpful to our team. But the new maps make being helpful impossible anyway. My PC role is home-point defense. No one disputes my skill at the Sniper Rifle. When I switched Corps, many people in the alliance were happy to longer die at my hands. And even if I'm sitting in the back with my eyes on the console, 3 people working in tandem can hack a point before I kill the second person (so be it none are scouts). most matches I play, I only go like 1-0 or 2-0. occasionally I go 10-1 and only a few times (out of hundreds of games) have I gotten the most kills on my team or even gotten over 15. But I was doing my job. It has been reduced to such a ridiculous degree from what I used to do in corp battles. And now that is going out the window. I like that kind of area denial, or point defense. It is like fishing or hunting. You set out the bait, something they can't resist, and when they come for it you get your prey. That is fun for me. It isn't like after 22 million SP I haven't specialized into any other weapons. I have two other light weapons at proto lvl and 3 proto sidearms. I'm skilled at (and skilled into) other areas and won't be dropped from a PC team because of the further impracticality of sniping but I know many that aren't. They never had a forum presence, but now they don't have a DUST presence either. They just left the game. They might possibly come back each month now to see the updates, but unless there is a drastic change in a positive way they won't play anymore.

PADDEHATPIGEN BurgezzE.T.F Public Disorder. 54	Posted - 2013.09.15 09:27:00 - [21] - Quote Im light weapons lvl 5, snpier rifle lvl 5, pro sniper lvl 3... Charge sniper rifle + 1 complex dmg mod. I say 50% go down 1 shot 1 kill if i hit them, Thale's sniper rifle is even harder, i think i kill 80-90% of those i hit in 1 shot 1 kill. Full protos and heavys whit more then 900 HP sometimes takes 2 shots. (NEVER MORE) Spec sniper rifle and the Ishukone sniper rifle + 1 complex dmg mod, i still 1 shot 1 kill alot of players, i will admit thad most players takes 2-3 shots to kill. I was never so lucky to get a Balac's N-17 sniper rifle, but i bet it ROCKS... The tactical sniper rifles are utterly USELESS no matter if its standart or proto they suck BIG TIME, unless you snipe other snipers, but thats the only thing its good at, and the other sniper rifles do it better, so they are just useless...

It was a closed beta tourney reward and won't drop as salvage. If it rocks? Well, it's better than the Ishukone, but the Thale's trumps it in every way. 250 damage, 7 shots a clip, same zoom as the Thale's means it's a good sniper, but nowhere near the level of the Thale's. With proficiency 5 and 3 damage mods the Balac's is doing around 360 damage, while the Thale's is doing more than 500 damage.
CommanderBolt A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 289	Posted - 2013.09.15 11:20:00 - [23] - Quote DUDE! Do you know how hard it is to play as a scout? Do you realise you snipers can one shot my minmatar light suit no matter what I fit. Unless I start stacking armor plates in the low slots (Which would reduce my speed and I would no longer be any reasonable form of a scout). Charge sniper one shots, the tactical hits me 3 times while I am running. Thale's I think also can one shot me, and I am not talking head shots here, just a normal body shot or a leg shot seems to do the trick. I love the new maps, I dont have to worry so much about gay snipers.

DJINN Axeman Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 14	Posted - 2013.09.15 18:43:00 - [32] - Quote First off my military history proves that I know how to do my job and do my job very well. Yes, I know how to work with squads and be on my own. I also know you can't snipe from the same spot all game and I do have a SMG side arm to run with squad. Stop hating and read what I actually wrote! I do not red line snipe, but CCP is taking away all other areas to snipe from. Rule no one in the service...do not snipe unless from cover! Its factual. So I am not going to run out into the open plains and start firing so I can be a huge target! You non snipers realize that we have to put a very small bullet onto a moving target and we don't get splash damage! So it takes quite a bit of skill. On the grand scheme of things if you are going down in one shot then you must be a scout with no armor and my answer to you is learn how to run out of patterns and strafe. When I run my alt scout I never get sniped because I know how they think. Yes, you can get the occasional 1 shot kill by hitting a scout or noon, but it still shouldn't take 4 plus shots to kill a heavy and I don't care what you're reason is! If I shoot a .50 cal sniper gun at any person with any armor on then I am placing bets with my unit what body part I can take off and they are dead! I can also stop any vehicle in its tracks but a tank! By that notion alone, don't you think the future would have better or equivalent weapons. Not these nerf guns. Just saying. Taking my military history out of the equation, I still write our sniping guide for my corporation and handle all sniping questions so I do know what I am talking about. Ultimately, if you are not a sniper or haven't spec'd into sniping then this post does not even pertain to you so I don't understand why you would give your two cents when your opinion on the matter is useless and juvenile considering you have no knowledge on the subject aside from what you read or being on the receiving end of the sniper. I don't tell heavy forges what to do or assault mercs what to do and even though they kill me, I understand their role on the battle field. Why is there so much hatred for a sniper when anyone can spec into an assault and run n gun. I speak from experience because I throw on a free suit and go with my alt all the time. It is way easier to rack up war points through hacking and kills when in a squad. As a sniper, you put yourself out there with out back up because you are too far away from your squad for them to help in time. Not to mention you don't really want other snipers in your vicinity so they don't give you away. Not unless you only care about padding your stats and not winning the game. I don't pad. Sniping is screwed!
Interplanetary Insanitarium Fraternity of St. Venefice Amarr Empire 244	Posted - 2013.09.15 19:19:00 - [33] - Quote It's called Dropships. Buy a MLT one and get on top of a building or up in the mountains. There are plenty of cracks and crevices that are relatively easy to access, you just have to be adventurous... and I spec'd into level 1 snipers to use with my commando, I do alright. Also, if you're going for bodyshots all of the time you're not going to take a well fit and intelligent heavy out easily... I've had my dumb moments, but I learned how to make snipers a non issue by sticking to the enclosed objectives when I can... If not I'm in an LAV moving between objectives... or hunting snipers down. When there's an overwhelming presence from vehicles I'll switch to my FG to tower "snipe". More often than not I'll be getting hit by charge, kaalikota or even sometimes thales... which screw everyone over. When the sniper is able to predict my movement they can take me out with little to no problem. But when I'm outmaneuvering their aim they tend to go for body shots and that gives me time to hide and rep. And we're dealing with a different universe... it's New Eden, present day, everything has energy shields that actively dampen the impact of projectiles and only the heaviest of suits have enough armor to survive intermittent sniper fire... A .50 cal explodes a huge chunk of metal at about 2,800 ft/s... Destroys most of what it touches IRL. Dust 514's sniper rifle (a railgun), magnetically propels a sliver of metal at around 2,500 m/s... If this was a weapon IRL it would be mounted, hard. Probably just because it would be too heavy.

I am not exactly a dedicated "sniper" but sometimes when me and the team I am on are getting our asses kicked every which way from Sunday...I will throw on a militia gear fitting with a sniper rifle and pick me off some enemies and up my kill ratio and war points and try to lessen how many times I get killed (my ratio .60...I get killed A LOT lol) I constantly find amazing places to snipe from...plus I've been playing for about 3 months now and I can remember which spots work and which spots don't and what not. I think the problem you are having is that you're not seeing the big picture of the environment. The new maps? OMG so many places to perch and snipe from. There is one new map in particular...I don't know what its called but when I see Domination mode come up...it feels like Christmas to me. No one thinks to look there either because its so damn high off the ground, but accessible by foot if you're clever. All the old favorites are still there too but I feel like CCP tailored the new maps for snipers...which is cool and fair for them. Its a duality thing...we have indoor, close quarters combat which is ah-mazing for grenade wars and nova knives and we also have such great perches for sniping. I think you just want sniping to have the same excitement as running and gunning with an Assault Rifle or Mass Driver will have. Snipers are patient, silent and steady....they sit and wait for Mr. Enemy to step the wrong way and BANG! Dead. Every once in awhile you get lucky lol no joke yesterday this "sniper" kept respawning in the SAME DAMN SPOT 8 times...I was perched up in a hidden spot and took him out 8 times. There are TONS of places to hide on the battlefield...even some that you almost cannot be seen in. You notice this when you see the other team dance around in plain sight and they have no idea you are there...its hilarious. So yeah bro...get to looking. The spots you want might not be so obvious to find for you....but they are there. Time to put on your thinking cap and get clever!! :)
