 You're changing the dot for the sniper rifle in Hotfix Charlie.
 
 new sniper rifle dot
 
 I would really appreciate it if you could please address some concerns.
 
 It appears the dot is larger. If the dot is larger and functions the same way as it always has. The entire thing will light up red when an enemy enters the circumference. However this would create a false positive on when to fire. The bullet has not become any larger, and unless they were in the very center of your "new and improved dot" you would miss.

 It appears the dot is larger. If the dot is larger and functions the same way it always has. The entire thing will light up red when an enemy is in the direct line of fire. However this would make things worse when it comes to lining up shots on moving targets because an accurate dead center point of reference has been completely removed and replaced by the "guestimation circle of poor aiming" .
 
 Can you please describe how this will function when it comes to..

 keep the dot small and tiny a hollow circle will be all around confusing for moving targets and even targets that aren't even moving.
 
 Sometimes a see a sniper in my rail tank and my little white dot to him until it turns red and fire and the shot goes past his dang face and im pretty sure a railgun shot is bigger then a sniper bullet

 their face should fill the circle at 300 meters when counting the zoom.
 and the thales at 300 you should see the fear in their eye

 IIRC it lights up when you touch the outside of the reticle.

 CCP Logibro you're making this difficult..
 
 I guess I'm going to be forced to test out this new dot of yours.
 
 I can't imagine the things I'll have to do to get it changed back to the original dot should it not be a change for the better.
 
 I don't even want to think about the amount of support I'll have to drum up.
 
 I know a bunch of snipers who don't even use the forums. and it shouldn't be my responsibility to goad them into coming here.
 
 
 
 Instead I suggest you come play Dust 514 with us, the players.

 I snipe 95% and tank support the other 5%, and would like to be able to switch between the two depending on that I am trying to hit and at what range.

 Perhaps as with all new updates these things will get easier with time, Symbiotic brought up some very good questions, so far i can say that hitting a moving target is proving to be much more difficult than before, headshots while still possible are less frequent, I think hitting a person in free fall from a building will be impossible now ( yes... it was possible before) total number of kills has dropped per game, at least for me, I have found myself switching to different suits now, leaving my sniper behind, if that was the goal then congrats, right now, i would say bring back the old reticle or come up with another that allows precision, or like I said before, maybe with time it will prove to be ok.

 Maybe the Thales and charged should have the dot and the others have the circle.
 
 The circle for short-mid ranged.
 
 The dot for long range and quite rightly on the charged and thales only.

 i think the best fix would just be to shrink the circle, as a best of both fix.
 
 if that's too awkward then ijust bring back the dot please never had a problem with it anyway.
 
 unfortunately olks we seem to be seeing alot of anti sniper players now pretending to like this scope as snipers...
 wouldn't be as bad but they are still on the characters they have been using to verbal bash snipers for the last year or so.
