Crimson Cerberes Hammer Of Light Vanguard of the Phoenix 582	Posted - 2014.09.25 04:24:00 - [1] - Quote Last domination match I was in.. 4 snipers combine to go 54/0 all from the safety of the redline. We were cloned in an otherwise very close battle completely ruined by snipers. This has happened several times today. CCP rattiti, you said you did not like ADS gameplay because you basically got to kill without worry, redline snipers are exactly that. The only counter to a redline sniper is another sniper, or a suicide dropship hotdrop. Oh, and because of the range nerf, countering a redline sniper requires a sniper to counter-snipe from the middle of the battlefield. This means in that the person counter-sniping has to deal with the snipers AND infantry AND vehicles. This is EXACTLY the same as how AV vs ADS was before. I actually really like the changes to snipers, but please for the sake of being consistent fix this type of risk-free gameplay. Either ensure that all points are at least 500 m away from the redline, or don't allow snipers to fire out of the redline. I prefer the 500 M redline option though just in case one team redlines another team.

Right-wing Extremist Nos Nothi 1305	Posted - 2014.09.25 04:27:00 - [2] - Quote lol When I warned that the range nerf would hurt legit snipers without hurting redline snipers, I didn't consider that countersniping a redline sniper would often mean making oneself a sitting duck from a terrible sniping vantage point. That's hilarious! However, the only counter to a sniper isn't a sniper or suicide derpship. There's also forge guns, rail tanks, and rail or missile turrets on LAVs, not to mention assault dropships. They're just as killable as they were before - but now they can OHK you on a headshot reliably. Jaceon Pale-eye.

So we are not going to discuss how current sniping = prior to delta ADS in the same EXACT manner? I have absolutely zero problem with snipers getting 1HK, I do have a HUGE problem with them doing it ON THE POINT from the redline. It is about as risk free as it gets. Or were you just going to complain about complainging.. thereby doing the same exact thing you are complaining about, just sounding incredibly dumb while doing it?

Now redline snipers 1hk every suit, and the counters are all vastly more risky than the activity. That was the big problem with ADS, that is the big problem with redline snipers. Snipers are only really an issue when the points are within 500m of the redline, like most points in skirmish, and many points in domination. I have no problem at all with snipers in ambush, there is no redline. "We are not ever going to respec weaponry and dropsuit command because the majority of our Aurum gear falls within those

With 150m more range than any other weapon redline snipers will rarely fear redline counter snipers now, and besides still being out of range forge gunners will just be snipe fodder while tanks/ads won't even bother with them since they cant be killed by them and will do more good focusing on the hotspots.

To put it another way, all four snipers added up their individual kills to get 54, between them they had zero deaths.

It's obvious he meant their combined score was 54/0 (I mean it's what he said) so their average was 13.5 kills each. Which to be honest isn't much to complain about other than the fact that they didn't die at least once. He has a point on the fact that in order to counter snipe redliners now you have to put yourself in the middle of the danger zone. Which is kind of bad now because that's where they'll be looking; whereas before they'd look closer to your redline for you which meant sniping further away from the redline in the danger zone was safer.

David Spd Caldari State 163	Posted - 2014.09.25 07:32:00 - [22] - Quote Seems to me the biggest issue with sniping is map design. It's simply too easy for snipers to perch on a structure somewhere or sit on a hill out in BFE. Couple of maps are notorious for that kind of stuff and CCP keeps tweaking the snipers, but the maps remain unchanged. Since CCP seems downright unwilling to make client-side changes I doubt people will ever be truly safe from "redline sniping". --> I'm a closed beta vet; I just don't post often <-- "Other people just complicate my life." ~Solid Snake

What the **** you want us to do with sniperrifle????? run in burnzone and try hipfire reds??? c'mon! it's LONG RANGE WEAPON and that is why snipers sits in "safe" place! I know all the jobs in the battle since I have all classes. use cover if you are assault/logi, use logibro if you are heavy, use cloak and dampers if you are scout and if you are sniper... countersnipe. It's quite easy now to countersnipe. Even those heavysnipers fall down with 1 headshot. I have damped ck.0 scout to countersnipe and I can sit middle of the fight and search those snipers sitting somewhere. So please, stop QQ and find your job and spot in the field.

C'mon. Your entire reasoning for nerfing ADSes and railtanks is FULLY applicable to red-line snipers. Reducing railtanks to 300m brought the majority of them out of the redline, and if they still had a 400m range they would still be in there as well.

LMFAO With the changes there is only on time a redline sniper is a danger to the opposition, And that is when the opposition push into the enemy side of map... GOOD This makes redline snipers a threat to infantry zerging the redline.. GOOD I have been running a MinCommando to test it out and sniping is awesome TY Rattati! Snipers are now in a position where it's either find a risky vantage point, or camp and kill nothing. And as for Sniper Vs Sniper fights.. much <3.. they are now intense engagements as both Snipers can deal enough DMG to OHK headshot each other, rewards mobile sniping Some mercs really enjoy the challenge of sniping in the 100m-200m area the new changes make it viable to risk your ass doing so.. while removing the redline campers from 'most' games.

Either ensure that all points are at least 500 m away from the redline, or don't allow snipers to fire out of the redline. I prefer the 500 M redline option though just in case one team redlines another team. Um really? All it takes is a madrugar railgun to take down garbage snipers. All they do is jack off in the redline the whole game. All I do is hunt their garbage asses down. I enjoy beverage I manage beverage But mostly enjoy beverage

There are NO open venues for sniping because if you spawn, everyone can see you travel from spawn to another point. There is no aspect of surprise you could set up as well as the LOS in interrupted. Now, dumb people believe "redline" because it is their magical scapegoat. All their "ailments" for being completely unobservant they blame on their sacred "redline".

Sniping is a problem that will will never be solved or balanced. I'd rather fight a proto cloaked scout with a basic logi than deal with a redline sniper. Here is a btter question, and probably a good original topic if someone wants to ask it. Does anyone have a problem with snipers in ambush? I would bet that the answer is no. If that is the case, then you know exactly what the problem is, and the problem is the redline, not snipers. I made a impossible fix suggestion once... Cut damage going in and out of the redline by 50% making staying there lame promoting getting out and hunting the enemy redline dangerous to the point of stupied.

I also said that it wouldn't matter what changes were made to snipers because players just hate snipers and believe that they shouldn't be a part of the game. well done community. you never fail to disappoint.

Vesta Opalus Kang Lo Holding 36	Posted - 2014.09.25 15:39:00 - [41] - Quote My opinion on the sniper changes: I think the changes were a step in the right direction, I like how each rifle now has its own role and is good in its own way. Sniper zooms still suck. I think they should increase charge and normal rifle zoom since these rifles are intended to be used at longer ranges. Its difficult to identify the head on enemy models from even 300m away, much less 450, the zoom is inadequate for half the weapons effective range. I dont think this patch is going to change the redline sniping "problem" in any real way (and I want to make it clear that I dont really think its a problem, there are plenty of ways to stop or avoid snipers in the redline to minimize their effectiveness). The root issue causing redline sniping is that snipers stay in the redline because its the only place they can actually use the sniper rifle without making themselves absurdly vulnerable. If you give someone a weapon where they have to stop, crouch, zoom in (reducing their field of view to a small fraction of what it normally is) and keep that position for ~3 seconds to stabilize the weapon, so that they can then shoot for 4+ seconds in the hopes of connecting with enough shots to kill someone, they are going to have to do all the above in a safe place where they can expect to not have a shotgun scout decloak 3 feet behind them and give them a bunch of additional buckshot sized assholes. Until the insane amount of risk the sniper firing routine exposes snipers to is reduced in some way, they are going to continue to mitigate that risk by staying in places where they wont get creamed the second they try to use their gun. This is why you almost always see snipers sitting on rooftops or in the redline. This isnt rocket surgery, its simple cause and effect. It doesnt matter what you do with the weapon ranges or making the redline somehow filter bullets, or whatever. The end result of the sniper mechanics as they are now is that they will be used in the redline or they will not be used at all.

Should be pretty simple then, find the map with the shortest distance between the redline and the points in domination, set MAX sniper range to the edge of the redline to the point. Done. Or if that is too short, Max 300m range with a fall-off. No one is sniping anyone from 300m with forge guns. Most I ever see is 200ms. Sure 300 may happen once in a blue moon, but from 300m you can't really even see a target with the forge. If forge sniping from 300 m is a problem, make the reticule no longer turn red for infantry for forge guns.

Couple of maps are notorious for that kind of stuff and CCP keeps tweaking the snipers, but the maps remain unchanged. Since CCP seems downright unwilling to make client-side changes I doubt people will ever be truly safe from "redline sniping". What the ** you want us to do with sniperrifle????? run in burnzone and try hipfire reds??? c'mon! it's LONG RANGE WEAPON and that is why snipers sits in "safe" place! I know all the jobs in the battle since I have all classes. use cover if you are assault/logi, use logibro if you are heavy, use cloak and dampers if you are scout and if you are sniper... countersnipe. It's quite easy now to countersnipe. Even those heavysnipers fall down with 1 headshot. I have damped ck.0 scout to countersnipe and I can sit middle of the fight and search those snipers sitting somewhere. So please, stop QQ and find your job and spot in the field. This is so true ! I also have all kinds of classes but focus on my sniper because it's what i like to do and feel that a well placed sniper can help the team immensely not only with counter sniping and helping clear/hold objectives but a good sniper can help communicate an overview of the battlefield to a squad or the whole team improving both offense and defense ! The range nerfing hurts us plenty as we are now force to site on top of the reds and as above mentioned if I wanted to hipshot then I would deploy as assault ! These changes to sniper are such a load of crap, If you don't like snipers get a good one in your team and use him for what he/she is: A LETHAL LONG RANGE FING KILLING MACHINE THAT CAN VIEW THE WHOLE BATTLEFIELD AND PROTECT YOU A* FROM OTHER SNIPERS !

This is the truth, I believe most everyone complaining about snipers never sniped in DUST before as it is really almost impossible to survive truing to move through the battlefield never mind trying to fire from the frontline. I Spend thousands of ISK because of that single problem of not being able to really effectively fire without getting stomped in the frontline.

I've seen only three snipers outside the redline, and they were dead before I could get to them to melee their sorry asses. If anything, redlilne sniping is WORSE than it was pre-Delta, for those points that are within range of the redline sniping spots, as the TTK for targets has gone way down. I suspect the issue of redline sniping will continue to linger until another alternative is found.
