A few points for you to ponder:
I am a man. I play a female character. I do this because males have very wide shoulders, and I can't tell you how many times I've had a duel with another sniper and dropped him with a triple shoulder shot. I am hoping that tiny body means smaller collision boxes, maybe they are just the same, but I doubt it.
I am quite confident neither I or any actual woman that plays this game enjoy having our characters sexually harassed in the lobby or in the field. Things like walking into us repeatedly, or circling us like roosters doing a mating dance... giving us gifts of nano hives is not appreciated either. I am wearing a prototype logistics suit. I have nano hives, two slots of nano hives, because sometimes 2 nano hives is just not enough.
When you are running haplessly along, and you see a teammate in an out of the way place (I am typically between 400-600meters from whatever objective I am covering, and I am effective in that range), I and many other snipers would appreciate a wide berth. Don't come running over just to drop a nano hive at our feet. Those of us that are likely to live long enough to require a nano hive typically HAVE them equipped on our drop suits. We'll drop them when we need them, and not before. Dropping a nano hive is a great way to invite the enemy to shoot at us. It's nice that the nano hive range bubble no longer flanks us in neon lights, but it's still obvious when you get your crosshairs over it. They may not be able to actually SEE me because of my dampeners, but they can surely see that nano hive you just dropped at my feet, and there's a good chance they'll send some bullets at me just to make sure there's nobody there.
One little tip: cloaked players, and even those with really awesome dampers, that cross hair dot still turns red, whether they can visually tell you are there or not. I've gotten a few kills because of that dot turning red, even though I could not see what/who I was shooting at.
In addition to not dropping a nanohive, just you running over, is probably going to peak someones curiosity... hey why is that logi running toward the edge of the map, I'mma follow them, oh look, a sniper! We've been looking for them ALL ROUND!!!
In closing: 1. Don't Harass Female Characters - It is probably a guy, I say this because after being sexually harassed in the lobby constantly, I'm sure all the women have rerolled as men.
2. Don't go chasing toward your teammates that are in out of the way places. If you are sniping, and someone is in your spot, find another spot. Stay at least 50 meters away from snipers that are already set up. This applies to terrain snipers only. -If you snipe from rooftops, I think the more the merrier. Especially if you are on the opposing team. It's like fish in a barrel...
3. Don't go dropping nano hives at the feet of other snipers that are already set up in an out of the way spot. It's more obnoxious than helpful. If you want points, go drop it in a hotspot near the objective.
If you've ever sniped, you know it's far easier to find snipers when there are 2 or more reds in close proximity. Snipers are a lone wolf type of class. Please give us space.

Thank you. I'll take this to heart. I'm just getting started as a logistics, and up until now I figured that a sniper would be happy to have me drop a nanohive near them.
(T. T ) I feel kind of dumb about thinking that now. I'll try to do my best not to give away any sniper positions and kudos for you. I skilled into snipers a little bit at the beginning and holy crap, is it hard to get any kills with them (aside from counter sniping, that was fun).

Yeah, you aren't here to have fun any way you want. You are supposed to be entertaining other players and assisting them in their bargain basement, vanilla assault style, tryhard power playing.
If you are having fun and enjoying the variety of playstyles then you are doing it wrong.

Yes, I will definitely be dropping nanohives by snipers every chance I get now. Get up off your ass and get down onto the field, loser.
The only reason to snipe is to counter snipe. It takes about 20 seconds. After that you need to get your ass back into the action and abandon your position.

A while back I had another sniper drop a hive behind me and then run 40m away and camp. I knew what he was doing. I returned the favor. Dropped it behind him just outside of its area of effect so he wouldn't notice it.

I am hoping that tiny body means smaller collision boxes, maybe they are just the same, but I doubt it. I hate to break it to you, but hitboxes are the same on male and female characters, so the wider-LOOKING shoulders aren't making the male characters any easier to hit.

One little tip: People do this to SNIPERS and COWARDS HIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, not to female characters specifically. This is primarily because people DON'T LIKE SNIPERS, and are deliberately trying to draw enemy attention to you. These people are idiots, but they're also mostly the kind of people who don't come to these forums, and won't see this message, and will continue to do it no matter how clear you make your distaste for their actions. If they DID come here, they'd see a sniper complaining about being trolled for being a sniper, and they wouldn't feel guilty, they'd be happy that they made you rage, and they'd find your suspicions of sexism quite silly as well as hilarious.
Quote:1. Don't Harass Female Characters - It is probably a guy, I say this because after being sexually harassed in the lobby constantly, I'm sure all the women have rerolled as men. I have both male and female characters, and getting cornered in the Warbarge is only slightly more common when I'm running a female character. Getting people swarming over me in-game is totally unrelated to my character's gender, and purely based on how I play. If I sit in the redline, I get people dumping Nanohives on me assuming I'm a sniper. Sometimes they're hoping to reveal my position, other times they're hoping to farm resupply WP from me.
Quote:2. Don't go chasing toward your teammates that are in out of the way places. If you are sniping, and someone is in your spot, find another spot. Stay at least 50 meters away from snipers that are already set up. This applies to terrain snipers only. -If you snipe from rooftops, I think the more the merrier. Especially if you are on the opposing team. It's like fish in a barrel... If you're parking yourself in one spot and that one spot isn't allowing you to cover AT LEAST 2 objectives, you're a bad sniper. As such, you probably deserve the treatment you're getting from idiot teammates. If you're setting up in SENSIBLE positions, then most of the idiots won't be seeing you anyway. If you keep yourself mobile like a GOOD sniper usually does, then most of the idiots will give up after your first reposition, and the rest will stop when you move the second time.
Quote:3. Don't go dropping nano hives at the feet of other snipers that are already set up in an out of the way spot. It's more obnoxious than helpful. If you want points, go drop it in a hotspot near the objective. As mentioned, people are doing this on purpose, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S OBNOXIOUS. Complain all you want, you're just reassuring them that their attempt to annoy you is working. Reposition and pretend it didn't happen. They'll get less fun out of it that way. |
