Dear Dust514
I have spent alot of hours and money to create a proto sniper. With
the new patch you not only made it harder to make a kill by adding the
extra slot to the assult dropsuit but changing the scope site from the
little dot to the little circle made it even more difficult. I tried
to get used to the new scope but its just not the same. its like
shooting through that little hole. My kills have been cut in half and
head shots cut more then half. please look into this problem. at least
install an option that allows me to switch scopes. Also consider
increasing the damage of the higher end sniper rifles or at least
consider more elite drops.
Thank you

Well to be fair the update to the Assaults was absolutely needed. I think a pass on sniper rifles in general needs to be made to bring them more up to date with the current state of affairs, especially since so much has changed since the Sniper Rifle's last update.
As for the scope I think it was just them attempting to address a complaint that some people had. There is a lot of mixed feedback on the new scope, and very polarized at that. I think, if possible, it would be legit to offer a variant with the new scope and then one with the old scope, to let people pick which one they prefer. |

I agree with the assult slot. But the new scope is not even close to accurate. when your record kills go from 32/0 to half that and you cant do a head shot from 400m because the circle is not that accurate, its really frustrating. even cross hairs would of been better. |

Maybe if more snipers left the redline CCP wouldn't come up with genius ways to **** you off.
If Preparation is half of the battle and knowing is the other half, Then there is no need to fight.

The one thing i have seen about the new crosshair is not that it is inaccurate, but rather there is a hit-detection issue on the sniper rifle. I've actually found my self aiming slightly lower than the head and slightly in front of the player (even those standing still) in order to actually hit someone. In some cases even that won't help.
Desperately I called forth my reserves of Thales and tried the same. Even with the greater magnification and aiming directly at someone's head from about 100-200m it became extremely difficult to actually hit other players.
I won't lie and say that I hate the new scope. i actually like that CCP has started making slight changes to weapons instead of sweeping changes that can completely knock you out of your specialized field. That being said, it would have been better if CCP had actually instead changed it so that it was optional or maybe the circle actually became smaller when it went over someone's head (like the blue to red change in color but better) to let you know when is the best time to shoot.
Sincerely,
Your Multi-purpose Everything User

I don't know if there is a hit-detection issue (I haven't noticed one), but I have completely the opposite viewpoint. Hotfix charlie is the first time that I have been able to get consistently more than 3-4 kills/map with a sniper.
It might come down to personal preference. *shrug* |
