I dun care bout no 300% h3ad5h0t boost! I dun care bout the dmg buff!!!!>? I want mah redlin!!!!! I WANT ZERO RISK!!!! ALL REWARD!!!! Seriously, stfu, losing some shots overall for such a grossly incandescent boost to damage is more than fair. In fact, I would vouch for even a bit more of a range decrease. Maybe 25m less? Still appears to be a decent number of NeoPLaZM SaTuRNs out there (redline snipers).

Mobius Kaethis Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 1842	Posted - 2014.09.24 19:18:00 - [14] - Quote On many maps snipers can still sit in the redline and hold down points which I see as a major issue. All play styles need to fit the risk/reward matrix or the game will not be fun. Sitting on the redline all but eliminates risk. I'm sure the sniper rifle will get changed more in future hotfixes. Now with more evil.

NeoPLaZM SaTuRN highland marines IMMORTAL REGIME 2	Posted - 2014.09.24 22:53:00 - [19] - Quote wow.... you are calling me a cherry picker, a crybaby and a coward??? sounds like i was doing pretty good scaring the crap out of you. and by the way, where do you expect a sniper to snipe from? you want him to sit at the objective? idiots

I'm really not sure what else you were expecting, coming on the forums and saying the new range is absolutely horrible when it's not that bad. The headshot and damage buffs allow most of the rifles to one shot a vast majority of suits if you're any good. Of course, if you suck at sniping, you're going to have a difficult time lining up those shots. And there are plenty of spots that allow you a good vantage point while not being in the redline. Try scouring the map next time with a cheap fit to find them. Nova Knives are best sidearm.

Thokk Nightshade KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 557	Posted - 2014.09.24 23:19:00 - [22] - Quote You don't need to be on top of the objective to effectively snipe, but you don't have to bury yourself in the redline either. I've been sniping since open beta and haven't redline sniped in over 6 months once I realized how completely useless it was. There are just so many more opportunities to really contribute if you are closer to the objective and not sitting back in the redline hiding. There is usually a better field of vision which means more opportunities for kills as well as a chance to contribute in other ways (I've sniped a null cannon from 150 meters, cleaned it out, then ran up and hacked it and got back to my position before getting killed. I also dropped an uplink and some nanohives on the objective to allow my team to spawn in and KEEP said objective.) . . . . Also, a note to redline snipers. Well, a question really.... Why? Where is the fun and thrill in doing this? Half the fun of Sniping is being silent and hidden, out in the open, knowing if you are found you are going to get whacked. I love the thrill of the Snipe because I need to keep watch on my 6 occasionally and check my flanks for an LAV to drive up on me or a Shotgun/NK scout come up. Watch some of the Top Sniper videos on the Military channel. Those guys were out in the open, crawling up on a spot, laying hidden, waiting for their shot, knowing the second they did hell would rain down on them. Then they were able to sneak out and get away without being shot or captured. That is a good sniper. That is how I try to play. I didn't skill into derpships so I can't rooftop camp/snipe. I detest the redline and how it is abused, so I have to use my wits instead of broken mechanics to play the role. To all the redlline snipers, let's go Snipe hunting. It's really fun and you would all enjoy it. It is just about as effective as redline sniping as well (Look it up if you don't get the reference) Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

We (dedicated and semi-dedicated snipers) told you the range nerfs would not fix redline snipers - only getting rid of the redline with a better solution for spawn camping (which the redline did not fix prevent to begin with) will do that. We told you all. You all just said "oh qq more snipers hurr durr risk hurr". Now you've qq'd the legitimate sniper into a range nerf that hurts our ability to project fear without hurting the redline sniper's ability to farm kills from a position where you're still too lazy or too inept to neutralize them.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 16660	Posted - 2014.09.25 01:41:00 - [30] - Quote dunno most friendly thales users I saw today where well within counter snipe and stabbing ranges. either way its going to take some time before the new behaviors settle into normal game play as the meta relearned. I am likely not going to suggest any further actual range nerfs. Rather focus on the zoom instead as a means of further drawing the sniper in closer but letting those who are good shots continue to remain at their far range. If ccp however insists on drawing the range down further though I have a do not go past 300 meters sign already ready for it.

It also means that there is going to be 4-5 snipers for every domination, and that most maps are going to suck because of how open they are. Nah. Was sniping earlier to try out the Ishukone post-Delta (pre-Delta it was Charge or Thale's or go home). Ishukone works, 1 headshot and 2 bodyshots to put down a ak.o sentinel. I'm satisfied with it. Anyway, I was the only sniper on my team. There was one enemy sniper outside of my 450m range, I wasn't seeing his name in the killfeed too much so I didn't think anything of it until he flew a dropship to my perch. He jumps out, in his LOGI suit, with his SR and tries to kill me. I was in ck.0 commando with a basic repper and 3x Comp Dmg Mod. My secondary weapon was Wyrkomi Swarms. I just didn't see his dropship come around the back way, very stealthy approach. With no recourse, I had to beat him in a melee dance. I then killed two more, this time keeping a better vigil for dropships... Sure enough, he came again, this time in an assault suit (which I saw as he bailed out of his burning dropship). However, I still died because that burning dropship landed on me and he got a road kill out of it. So I switched to my mk.0 scout, went up on the hillside and stabbed four snipers (the match was basically over, so they all came out of the woodwork), shot one Frontline suit with my KLO ScP, then the match ended with me having gone 18-1 altogether. **** was so cash.

If ccp however insists on drawing the range down further though I have a do not go past 300 meters sign already ready for it. Agreed. Anything past 300 meters is dangerous territory. It still isn't going to fix the issue because people will sit in the redline by the closed null cannon and pop off while the rest of us have to try and find MORE new positions. This is going to lead to Rooftop camping all over the place because it is the only place a sniper will be able to go within the killzone that has a vantage point and isn't smack dab in the middle of the action. As for the zoom, I haven't even tried it yet so can we hold off a little bit on the proposed changes. The Thales was the only scope before that had legitimate zoom. I'm hoping that change from 18 to 15 (whatever the hell those numbers mean) is enough of a bump to zoom that it's not like looking through an old 4 power Weaver scope with non adjustable zoom. because that is what the old zoom was. At 300 meters headshots were a complete guessing game. Anything farther and I'm not even bothering with anything other than a body shot. With the charge, the Headshot is necessary with the clip/total ammo nerf so we are going to need that additional zoom to try and line our headshots up. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.
