So I was going around in Gal FW, using my Proto suit because the Federation deserves it.
By the very end of the match, I killed 17 people and died not once, and my team was dominating.
Then they realized they can't win, so they switched to snipers. ORBITAL ARTILLERY IS SNIPER HEAVEN.
6 deaths, just like that, to a point and shoot gun that you can't retaliate against in this map.
This is broken, if you can't retaliate, the sniper is broken.
I want my money back.

most people usually switch back to ADV if they've lost 2 proto's.
well if you have the ISK to spend then you can't really complain when you lose those proto suits

So your complaint is when the enemy team could not do anything to win, they decided to retaliate the only way they knew how instead of continuing to walk into a blender?
Having played Caldari FW where it's me literally in first or second place, and the rest of the team being randoms against two Gal corps at once... I can't blame them...
I start eating death after death after death trying to do ninja breakouts with spawnlinks in weird places just to try and get my useless team out of the redline and it gets old fast... A Sniper Rifle looks pretty attractive after a while...

A Sniper Rifle looks pretty attractive after a while... I don't want to die to it. It's too easy to use and too rewarding. You should always be in a position where you can be killed by someone coming up to you and whooping your ass in close range.
If there is no such position, the sniper is broken.

Your team was dominating, so why did you feel the need to continue spawning in? Especially with a proto suit?
Just trying to figure out why, after the first four or five deaths, you thought the next time would be "better"... |

Well now you know how my blueberries feel the instant they try and wave at you from the edge of the redline, a dozen Gal light them up with no where to hide, IN ALL directions. I'm one of the few that can evade scanner hell and bullet hell combined.

Just trying to figure out why, after the first four or five deaths, you thought the next time would be "better"... Because I can afford it. The Caldari were pushing forward, so I had to defend.
Still only captured one point, and my team was about to take it back.

I actually die more in those types of matches where the enemy hides and camps out of reach.
I think it actually seems to be getting better though.

The Orbital Artillery structure is scheduled for an overhaul once Caldari Production and Minmatar Cargo are delivered. I haven't heard the status on Cargo but Production is pending some performance tweaks and should ship soon. OA already had all those fences added which only left a few sniper perches and the ones on the artillery tower itself are easy to counter sniper or be cleared by an assault dropship.
The Cat should adapt and kill the pesky snipers with one of several available means.
If you want more information on it then bug CCP LogicLoop. He's very good at responding.

So you kept spawning back in because you needed to defend the point and kept dying. Job well done, I guess? You still won.
I wouldn't come to the forums and complain about it though. You chose to keep spawning in, and if you died, you died. *shrug*

When you redline Caldari, swap to a speed and stamina shotgun scout. It's great. Last match I was in I kept sweeping into their redline, popping several, then darting out of it only to survive it all.

I'm dissappointed Cat Merc. So what, you want to be able to stomp a team that's already lost and retaliating in the only way possible? Why don't you spawn in a sniper and counter snipe? In a scout suit and bum rush the red zone to find their position and possibly kill them? AR/CR/RR/ScR spam is NOT the only way to play this game. It's a sniper. It works at range. That's the advantage. It is NOT easy to use. What you want them to come and give you a "fair" fight while you run around in your gal logi? Snipers are already useless because all those rifle variants out dps it in real situations. You don't see any snipers going 49-0 ala Arkena Wyrnspire (respect!) ..... you barely see any snipers anymore. You barely see heavies. You just don't see scouts. Let them be and use another suit. Otherwise quit whining and (dare I say) get good.

you died to a sniper? seriously?
so let's point out the problems ^^
first
1) you had them redlined and refused to stop using proto's
2)you died in a proto suit to a sniper
3) you died 6 times in a proto suit to a sniper
4) you didn't use a militia sniper rifle to kill them
5) you made this thread to point out all th problems with how you play.

Yes, I said it. See you on the battlefield. Sniper to beat Sniper, Rock to beat Rock.
Maps should be designed in a way where infantry can sneak around and 'backstab' the sniper. Good snipers move around and watch their flanks, so they would be unaffected.

the ONLY excuse for you dieing 6 times to a sniper would be that you are a scout, but that doesn't excuse the other issues. 1) I have the money
2) Two shots to die in a proto suit, and they're rapid fire. I think there is no problem here
3) Same answer
4) Yes because I can totally kill a logi with 9340329420349230 HP that will just go back to cover with a militia sniper
5) I made this thread to point out how you can't retaliate in that map. And vent.

Speed tank a Gallente Scout with 3 Complex Kin cats and a complex cardiac regulator, active scanner and shotgun. 2 options. Suicide mission into the red zone or scout mission to pinpoint their location before countersniping with a mitilia fit. You don't need to kill them, just scare them and let them know you know where they are. They will leave their advantageous position and be more vulnerable subsequently. This often works. i find that most snipers lose courage when found out. Send a message, it's not always about the actual kill

So the match was won and you kept getting killed because you had to stay by the points and all the snipers were killing you.
I don't buy that "there was nowhere to hide". Even if all rooftops are covered, there are places to hide in that socket. For one, you could hide in the Charlie hack terminal area. Or you could hide in the stairs area on the supply depot side of Alpha.
I also don't buy that a forge, or even multiple forgers, could cover dropship access to every roof. You might not be able to hover for very long, but if you approach the socket from the outside, you could at least get access to the ladder areas. Or just climb the ladders.
If you don't want to take the time to pry them out of their high spots, you shouldn't be complaining when they kill you from those high spots. |

About two weeks ago I was fighting a domination in OA. I was first in to hack, laid out uplinks and hives and defended that place with my life for half the match. So, the enemy dropped snipers up in the ring tower and they started popping us like crazy. I spawned outside with my sniper rifle and started killing them as soon as they appeared and ended their sniper offensive.
Can you guess what happened next?
Yep. Some idiot blue doesn't like the fact that I'm outside in the hills with a sniper rifle, bothers to run all the way out there and starts whacking me and trying to drop LAVs on me.

I killed a heavy suit hiding in the redline on a tower once. Flew a dropship in with a scanner to find him and jumped out and shotguned him to death. It felt good. Militia scanner on a dropship is great for finding snipers.

I have a pretty good chunk of ISK but I'm still reluctant to go proto more than 20-30% of the time... 150 mil ISK for me.

You realize that snipers dont go around capping points, right? You realize they have a hard time as a single sniper killing people before they get back to cover, right?
Honestly, you're whining about dying after you redline a team? How do you think it feels to be redlined and you can't use any short/mid range weapons effectively due to being outnumbered? Can you blame them for switching to a gun that can actually hit you?

As someone who plays as a sniper on a regular basis, the first thing I'd do once I was killed (and saw what weapon it was that killed me) would be to take note of the direction of the shot, then spawn in the MCC and go hunting. Most snipers won't leave their nest until a bullet or two convinces them otherwise. Take them out, then decide whether or not your team would be better off with you staying as a sniper/countersniper or rejoining the frontlines.
Life is killing me.

Snipers have always been pathetic. They are a good thing to see on the other team, it means their spirits are broken. If you had the match in the bag why not let them out of their red line.
personally, I call my guys off when the enemies break. I'd rather let them think they can do something. It keeps the sniper count down and my foe fight on my terms. I believe its called mercy. Controlling the battle field is better than red lining newbs. |

Too bad I play video games to have fun, and considering how many balance posts are on the forums, I think others are too. If something isn't fun, it needs to be fixed.
I understand the point of snipers, however, there should be a way to come near them and kill them.

I really dont see a problem with the OA outpost, its not the worst for lack of cover, that reward would go to the Gallente Communications Outpost.

Uhh, you sure, guys out there use some really top notch stuff...
Jim.....Jim......I have a fat suit.
::Jim stares blankly::
It has a lot of armor, and is excellent for counter sniping. All I need is to land a headshot or two.

I didn't have a chance, I either let the enemy take over the outpost, or die to sniper fire.

Oh come on.
Another person crying because the other team was getting proto-stomped and they came back with a way to make you pay for it.
What would you rather them do keep running into your blender?
Congrats to them for coming up with a way to make you pay for all the isk you cost them during the game and the frustration of getting killed so many times. They did what they should have done, try to win with better tactics against a better foe.
Stop crying, they should be crying that they got proto-stomped.
You are NOT ENTITLED to win with proto gear You are NOT ENTITLED to live with proto gear
Think how they felt with all the stomping you were doing!
Note: Yes I have proto gear, and yes it sucks to lose it, but you must expect to loose it when you use it. This is war!
Edit: Then get a sniper fit, like I have. |

Before 1.7 the only thing that could beat an AR was an AR...and it's basically the same right now. Only one of the rifle classes can beat another one of the rifle classes. What you're basically saying is you want to take away their range advantage. It's like us shotgunners complaining that we can't effectively use a shotgun because every scrub is using some AR racial variant that makes the requirements to use the shotgun too onerous.
