mistress OF shadow 0	Posted - 2014.09.19 13:28:00 - [1] - Quote Right to the point of this, I have grown to despise this game with a burning hatred of a thousand suns, why? you might ask, its broken for players like me. I enjoy sniper rifles, they are some of the best weapons ever, they can make or break a team if you have good snipers backing you, in fact in human history snipers are responsible for winning battles and wars with well placed shots that rip holes through their targets, and that's in actual history, in video game history snipers are a highly praised weapon for their sheer power and precision, which is what they're made to be, snipers are made to rip holes through targets, buildings, and even armored vehicles. so tell me, why the hell can't I kill a single enemy in DUST 514 with an advanced sniper rifle? and its not because I miss, I know I'm not the most accurate sniper ever, but the shots that do hit, seem to bounce off of them like they're nothing at all, and I'm talking light dropsuits, scouts and the like, my advanced sniper, BACKED with three advanced damage modifiers, that each give an extra 5% damage, resulting in a whooping 15% extra damage for my light weapons, barely takes half of someones shield, and seems to do LESS DAMAGE to their actual HP bar, even if they don't have a shield up, it just doesn't make a lick of damn sense to me why the hell my HIGH POWERED SUPER ADVANCED FUTURISTIC SNIPER RIFLE, that can only hold 5 rounds in its mag, and has a short wait time for the next round to enter the chamber, can't even kill anyone, infact, I RARELY IF EVER do any ACTUAL damage to anyones health bar because their shields are apparently able to withstand a shot from a high powered sniper rifle, as if it were hit with a pebble. TL;DR- why the ** does their damage do jack against everything. Next up, is the sniper rifles precision, their scopes, WHY IN THE HELL IS AN SUPER UBER ADVANCED SNIPER RIFLES SCOPE RANGE SO *** SHORT, seriously? I dug around trying to find an answer and trying to find out if (Somewhere in the labarynth that is the user interface) there was any way to get a longer ranged scope, but I couldn't, all snipers have the same scope, and honestly, between the snipers I've used, none of them handle any differently, the ONLY DIFFERENCE I've seen between snipers, is the magazines, anyway, the scopes come in '1 size fits all' and its a horrible scope for a sniper, maybe for using a assault rifle at long range yeah, but not for a sniper rifle. TL;DR- the scopes suck because there's only a single short ranged scope for all snipers. but lets move away from the sniper to the next issue vehicles, and the things we're given to deal with them, tanks and ships and jeeps have so much healt and armor and its rediculous, I've grabbed by basic launcher on a few occasions, to try and deal with tanks, and every time I try all that happens is it looses 1/8th of its shield, and then instantly regenerates it. or if I'm lucky, and someone else broke the shield already, it looses 200 of its 5000 health and THEN *** REGENERATES IT, we have regenerating tanks, but NOTHING to deal with them. it shouldn't be its own MINI BATTLE to remove a enemy vehicle from the battlefield, infact, I don't want to invest my skillpoints into anti armor, I'm TRYING TO INVEST THEM INTO ANTI INFINTRY AND BETTER DROPSUITS, but when I do, I get run over by a tnak and my 'high power sniper rifle' doesn't do to stop it :3 TL;DR- why does the anti-armor cost so much but not deliver, and why do vehicles have so much regenerating health? lets see, next is a little thing, you know the defense installments, rail gun installments and the like, why the hell does it loose all turning speed when I hop into one? it shouldn't take 20 minutes to turn 90 degrees to the left. oh, back to the snipers, to the map this time, why in the are there no good accessable sniper vantage points? there's a few massive buildings, that you can't climb, and occasionally a small building, that gets blocked off by a wall, anyway snipers are long ranged weapons that are meant to be used by aiming DOWN at the battlfield, but the DUST developers have probably never touched a gun in their life, or another FPS for that matter, even a futuristic one, so they would have no idea, infact, I've seen better sniper gameplay from a game called COMBAT ARMS, and I'm not even joking, snipers work better in that game because most of the maps have places to snipe from. I shhouldn't have to buy a flying vehicle to be able to get ontop of a building to use my sniper better, its not cost effective and honestly, bullshit. -TL;DR small rant on how no map accomadates any snipers, and we can't go squat on hills to get vantage points because of the horrible range I mentioned earlier~ This is what I'm leaving you with, because honestly, I can't stand this god forsaken game, it infurates me to the point that I feel like smashing my control against the tv. TL;DR- this game isn't properly balanced and I'm quiting before It infuriates me to the point of braking things in my house. Have fun with DUST everyone, and honestly, people will try and disolve my points with bullshit, but they can all off, some will say "Old arguments are old" but there still issues, just because they've been brang up before, actually, before I go. THE SKILL POINT SYSTEM, I'm sorry, I have a life adn other games to play, I like the passive skill points but I don't want to have to play 10 games to get 20'000 skill points when most things cost so much to get. there's to many skills and not enough time for the current skill point system to be worth it, besides the little boosts you get from skills usually suck overall. OKAY now I'm done, goodbye DUST 514 players, and maybe take in what I've said and try and badger the developers until they ***** fix it. : 3 yours no more~ Mistress of shadow, former DUST 514 player. <3
KingThunderBoIt 182	Posted - 2014.09.19 13:36:00 - [2] - Quote Another hater bites the dust 514. I knew you too well. I own this game.
Everything Dies HENTAI FAN CLUB 960	Posted - 2014.09.19 13:49:00 - [3] - Quote The problem with SRs is that the Thale's was simply too good--people started judging ALL snipers based on what could be accomplished with a Thale's and ignoring the comparative uselessness of the other SR variants. Mike Patton is the greatest singer in music. Proof: Listen
JP Acuna Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 249	Posted - 2014.09.19 14:38:00 - [4] - Quote I don't like sniping or snipers, but seriously i tried it yesterday and it's pretty broken. I wanted to snipe agressively, running across the map and all, but it's too hard to kill with it. Unless you camp, you can't do well with a sniper rifle in Dust. You can kill MLT suits though.

CCP Rattati C C P C C P Alliance 7480	Posted - 2014.09.19 14:44:00 - [6] - Quote I usually ignore rants, but why not stick around for the triple headshot modifier in Delta? I also disagree that the balance in this game is terrible, we are rapidly getting to a point of very good balance as a matter of fact. Instead of focusing on basic things that need to be correct, such as dps over range, we can now start talking about handling (kick and sway). "As well as stupid, Rattati is incredibly slow and accident-prone, and cannot even swim"

Instead of focusing on basic things that need to be correct, such as dps over range, we can now start talking about handling (kick and sway). that is nice and all but some things just do not make sense, e.g. please rething what you do to the flaylock ... 6% dps/dmg increase for 3 times the fitting cost? the flaylocks biggest asset is the low fitting cost, it is the flaylocks feature and you take it away. what would you fit with the proposed numbers, a proto flaylock or adv SMG? I would take the adv SMG anyday cause it is miles ahead in performance (and also benefits from minmatar assault bonus)!
Chief-Shotty WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 232	Posted - 2014.09.19 15:18:00 - [13] - Quote I've seen better, I made one on the Tom Clancy's Endwar forum. I USED ALL CAPS LIKE THIS! Even worse i was defending a shield glitch that rendered any supported unit UN-killable. Had to defend my crutch to the bitter end.

Why are so many people tanking their assault suits? It's a bit annoying to me. I like to run reps with my assault but it's not as effective as just going tank. I guess if there was less heavies and scouts it might make a difference. Also I'm the one who broke charge snipers when they were adv with broken DMG mods one shotting any suit including heavies, you're welcome. Removed inappropriate content - CCP Logibro

Leadfoot10 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1525	Posted - 2014.09.19 16:19:00 - [18] - Quote To be honest, I think gameplay would be better without the Sniper rifle. They provide little to no value, and given they generally hide in the redline, often headglitching so they cannot be hit, only reinforces this belief.

Secondly, IMO for sniper rifles it's Proto or nothing at all, unless you're a Cal commando that is.
