ERYN Warchild Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 3	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:05:00 - [1] - Quote So I've been exploring this game a little bit and finally decided to actually play a few games. It didn't go too badly I guess since I tended to have more kills than deaths. The whole skills and fitting is something that's a bit different then what I'm use to playing. I admit to spending $5 on some Aurum to test out the gear I wanted. I really liked to be the sniper. I went with 'Neo' Scout M-1, Farsight sniper rifle and two militia things the submachine gun and the drop uplink for completing the tutorials. Also I learned don't shot a tank with a sniper rifle it does absolutely nothing. But the guys on the gun in the Jeeps? Make a hilarious sound when you headshot them.

ERYN Warchild Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 3	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:08:00 - [4] - Quote Is there something wrong with sniping? A rule I didn't know about? Kind of too late now to take those SP back.
MRBH1997 Knights Of Ender Galactic Skyfleet Empire 66	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:10:00 - [5] - Quote I love it when snipers shoot my tank so I learn of their position. They seem to forget a railgun tank can counter snipe as good as a sniper. :D CEO of Knights of Ender Corporation Website: http://koe.shivtr.com Public Channel: Knights of Ender Public

People are not very fond of snipers...especially the ones that hide in the "redline" (your safe zone were the enemy can't enter) On aside note welcome to new Eden and DONT FEED THE TROLLS!!!!!!!!

ERYN Warchild Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 4	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:14:00 - [8] - Quote I tend to be really close to the objective so I can have a better chance of hitting them. I play the type that just has one cannon on it

Kind of too late now to take those SP back. There's nothing wrong with sniping at all.. See in this game, AFKers like to use the free sniper fitting to prevent them from being kicked from matches and stuff, so people like him blame ALL snipers for the actions of AFKers. Besides that, others hate you simply because they can't fight back in CQC, and instead actually have to search for you. As long as your not trying to do anything the entire match, your perfectly fine; and useful too! Atiim (Gunnlogi - 80GJ Particle Cannon) Tank Scrub
Alternate Insano SUICIDE SPITE SQUAD 102	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:30:00 - [10] - Quote Welcome to DUST! That said and out of the way, I will quickly summarize this entire game for you. DUST is fun, and different from other fps games. You have to play like a team in order to win. Learn the roles, and jump into one if nobody else is doing it. Learn the ranges of the guns. This is the most important thing. Also, most of the players are very bad sports, and take losing badly. They use the forums as an outlet for their frustrations over being bad at an easy game. Some even threaten to sue over this free game! Some players take games so serious! But don't let the bad players (we affectionately call them scrubs) ruin it for you. Have fun, and don't try too hard. DUST 514 Super Scrub Level 262 Forum Troll Play, or play not. There is no balance.

Kind of too late now to take those SP back. Yes, ppl in this game are powerplaying tryhards who believe you are here for their enjoyment. Therefore, you are supposed to win for them and entertain their idea of play that involves being a vanilla assault idiot and be bored out of your mind. Too many console kiddies are trying to prove their manhood with this game and you are a coward for ruining that for them. Delete your character now and help kill this game as soon as you can. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!

Patrick57 Fatal Absolution 5257	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:40:00 - [13] - Quote ERYN Warchild wrote: Is there something wrong with sniping? A rule I didn't know about? Kind of too late now to take those SP back. If you keep at it, you'll eventually have a lot more SP than you do now. Nearly everyone hates redline snipers. I almost hate them as much as Rail Rifle Heavies Just keep at it, specialize in one role (in your case Minmatar Scout with Sniper Rifle) and do NOT forget the Dropsuit Upgrades skills. When I was a bit more of a noob, I didn't put much SP into Dropsuit Upgrades, and I'm currently paying the price for it, even after almost seven straight months of capping out regularly. Just some tips in case you were still a bit confused and/or unsure. :3 Fatal Absolution's official bench warmer (scoot over Faquira) and mascot I go negative in PC, yay
One Eyed King Eyniletti Rangers Minmatar Republic 353	Posted - 2014.02.19 01:53:00 - [14] - Quote As a former sniper, this game has gone a long way to marginalize the role. Ninety percent of sniper rifles are UP, with only the charge rifle being able to do some damage. With shield and armor tanking the norm, unless against a non tanked scout like me, the weak sniper rifles just cause dings and dents. Until something changes, snipers have one of the hardest roles to be effective in. About the only way to do so is to squad with people, and use your mic to relay information. Also, if you are using a scout suit for sniping purposes, please feel free to visit the Barbershop linked in my sig. We are now located in the Locker Room, and can be of some help. We are even occasionally entertaining. Looking for the scout hangout? CCP banished it to the locker room
Scheneighnay McBob Learning Coalition College 4089	Posted - 2014.02.19 02:11:00 - [15] - Quote Ignore what the first comment says about sniping; it's great if you do it right. However, try not to make sniping your only job unless you're on a point and defending it. (Might want to run a commando for that) I like to play a scout and try controlling the spawn points. Not only do I hack CRUs and lay uplinks, but I actually use my sniper rifle quite often to destroy enemy uplinks from a long distance. I am your scan error.

Kind of too late now to take those SP back. Typically, most people don't like snipers because they don't feel like there actually contributing to the team. If your a good sniper then I don't really care personally so long as your on my team. But it really bothers people when they play skirmish and get redlined and see like four snipers on a mountain sniping together. Marston VC, STB Director

knight of 6 SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 1439	Posted - 2014.02.19 03:25:00 - [19] - Quote welcome to the dust post that you hate it and you are uninstalling it anytime you want but you can never leave as for sniping as a profession, for new players I'd actually recommend it... you might survive the early game. Dust 514 has a brutal early game where you will be absolutely thrashed by any vet that you encounter simply because they have more SP than you with few exceptions. the real fun begins at around 6-8 million SP, depending on your pace it'll be a couple of months in. yes months that isn't a typo dust 514 is a slow game. if you like sniping that's cool, I have nothing against snipers but stay out of the redline in skrim/dom matches. seriously people who snipe from the redline are spineless cowards.

GTA-V FTW 449	Posted - 2014.02.19 03:37:00 - [21] - Quote This game sucks, don't spend anymore time playing it. Go find a better thing to do like watch paint dry or grass grow. Either one of the above activities would be 100 X's better than playing this garbage of a game. Come back to it in like 5 years and maybe you will see PVE by then. *Golden Joysticks 2013 Game of the Year Grand Theft Auto V*

Chuckles Brown 72	Posted - 2014.02.19 04:10:00 - [27] - Quote I run a starter player corp (feel free to join if you'd like: Grade No.2) and I've noticed that the vast majority of new players are snipers. Simply because they don't have the gear and SP to hang on the frontlines. I don't blame them. Sit back, watch the game, learn a thing or two, and pick up a kill here and there.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 2356	Posted - 2014.02.19 04:20:00 - [28] - Quote Something not a lot of people have mentioned yet is that while snipers do have their uses, don't ALWAYS snipe. Some maps are bad for snipers, and if you're sitting around with hardly anyone to shoot at, you're not helping the team. Skill into something else that is along the path you're using, like shotguns with your scout suit, or something else that involves being sneaky. Lastly, join a chat channel somewhere... "scouts united" is a good one for scouts to lfs in. Most people might not like a sniper, but you can at least use it to find some people who may be more interested. Squad up with people instead of playing by yourself and you'll enjoy this game a lot more. _____________________________________ Personally when I first got into this game I started sniping, and I almost NEVER snipe anymore because I found much more fun ways to play this game (standing behind an armor tanked suit with a repair tool is awesome as they kill everything and you just rep them the whole time). If you do continue with it, get your sniper operation to level 5 and use the charge or tactical snipers. They're the most lethal from what I've seen (If you're not already using the tactical one which unlocks at level 2, you're doing it wrong) Other skills you should look into after you get sniper operation to 5 is sniper proficiency, and a skill called "weapon upgrades". Both of these skills will help you increase the amount of damage you can deal with sniper rifles. Damage mods are your friends :P There's also skills such as light weapon operation and Electronics/Engineering that make the better snipers easier to fit, and skilling into a better suit (even if it's something like the light frame M/1 series, unlockable with about 300k sp) will increase the amount of fitting slots and give you more fitting space. If you have any more questions or anything, go to the rookie training grounds on the forums. There's a lot of people that can help you there.
