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.
or
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..
- Moving Targets
- Head Shots on Moving Targets
- Partially Covered Targets

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
HEADSHOT! HEADSHOT!! HEADSHOT!!! HEADSHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a way, this is an indirect nerf to redline sniping, while buffing closer (less than 450 meter) sniping

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.

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. |

is there any way we can get ahold of ccp logibro and have them change the sight back? It is funny the top snipers in the game hate this sight yet CCP is not listening. If any of ccp answer this post I am putting in a ticket until I get ccp to answer this post better idea every one of us should do that. until we can get ccp logibro in here to answer what Symbioticforks said about the new sight. |

to be fair they did say that it was an experiment that they would change back if it didn't work,
i just have a bad feeling we could be stuck with it until delta though.
i would really like for that to not happen....
any chance of getting it changed before then?
(especially if your going to do anything new, because it would be better to get the experimental side out of the way so they can be finished with the delta hotfix.) |

"upping this again" I am calling out CCP Logibro answer us. I hate the new sight with a passion. I used to miss maybe 1-2 of 5 shots now I hit 1-2 shots. lighting up red saying you can hit and it missing because the reds arm was just inside the sight but not in the center where the bullet hits.

It feels like snipers are quite content with the old scope aside from keeping the new one on the tactical, no?
Creating variants with each scope is not probable.

The target will be just like the old target in every aspect except it is a tiny little circle instead of a tiny little dot.
Terrain glitches still work. Meaning terrain textures are still incorrect and draw overlays might cover a target you think you can see.
Target pip/circle goes red even though the target is behind two buildings. Just confirmed that today 23/8/14.
Target draw distance is still less than sniper rifle range in many instances. And shooting based on the pip being orange see above.
Hope this helps. It won't of course. Nothing helps in dust. 
And so it goes.

I agree that the new sniper rifle reticule is not working. I too want the old red dot back.
My kill rate reduced considerably and though I have already "adapted" to the new circle
It gives much more eye strain as I need to focus much more than before.
BTW I do snipe over 90% of the time.
Also I do feel that overall, snipers got nerfed as a result of a mix of the update
to the assault suit and this new reticule.
Even though I use a mix of complex, enhanced and militia modifiers I can't one/two
shot with my charged sniper most of the time anymore as I used to.

that is no good. changing the scopes on different variants stinks due to snipers would choose one type for the scope over the one they are best with. |

sniper rifles was never nerfed but to changes to suits, bonuses, armor plates and etc. and all the changes acted as a nerfed. |
