DUST Search - New Moods and Snipers

I know the sniper haters will absolutely rip me for this. I'm not sure what new mood it is (Toxic or Stormy) but it is totally incompatible with the sniper role. The lack of vision down range completly takes the sniper out of the game. If that was CCP's intent, it worked. Now, the maps that come up with these moods will not be playable by snipers. Snipers will now be forced to play only the maps that are conducive to the sniper role. Believe me, there are not to many of them left. I expect the sniper community to be constantly leaving battles at the beginning if these conditions present themselves.

This is not how it should be. It's a complete waste of my time to join a battle and leave when this happens. It takes way to long to do this. CCP, please rethink these moods. It is extremely unfair for certain roles to be abolished because of the mood. One solution would be to allow players to choose the moods they wish to play. Also, choosing the maps you want to play would be nice as well.

Rip away haters!

You can use the mist yo your advantage, and hide in plain sight. Don't even have to worry about another sniper picking you off at 300m in their redline. Its fun. Swag-suit4lyfe!

Snipers are never victims. I will agree that swarms are a bit powerful but yeah snipers need to count their blessings. The buffed your damage, and changed the crosshairs back to something that everyone likes and if people weren't constantly sitting in the redline 24/7 they wouldn't have nerfed the range. Theres always money in the banana stand.

Believe me, there are not to many of them left That is really the same thing with ADS and Tankers. Some maps are just atrocious for certain styles of play. Gallente Research Facility has most of the fights happening underground where a Tank and ADS are not overly great. It is why most people that focus on a role also have points in other roles. "Tank is useless here? Out comes the Scout." "Too many Logistics? Better go Heavy." "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

But it was bad for the entire squad - our screens kept going black for no apparent reason (and not at the same time, so it didn't impact upon both teams simultaneously, leading to deaths). The new maps aren't great either for snipers, and I might be tripping but I swear the hills and redline have changed in some maps too. I tried to get to one of my favourite spots and couldn't because it was now in the redline! lol yup how about the redline on some are less than 100 meters from the objective in doms. so yea I hate redline sniping but 100 meters in the redline plus the objective another 100 meters equal a lot more redline snipers again :(

Rip away haters! that's a good idea, like the close beta when u chose between Communication, Biomass, and the map that has A in a container (Domination) that was something pretty good, also that could help ccp to make better maps based on how popular a certain kind of map is. for example in close beta if i remember well Biomass was the most used the Communication, i prefer CQC maps instead Long maps, at least in ambush cus sometimes it is more about running that shooting and if snipers want to fight in those long range maps, i have no issues about that.

jace silencerww Krullefor Organization Minmatar Republic 91	Posted - 2014.11.16 18:47:00 - [39] - Quote look the mood effects need to be tuned down some. I was sniping (no I was not in my redline) at 250 meters reds disaapear into the background ie their suit colors and the background colors are the same. yes even friendly disappear. now I have pics as proof. now how the heck am I suppose to watch my squads back for cloaked scouts if I can not even see my squad? don't whime and say skill into something else I have and I hate not having the option to snipe reds off of a building. just when a dropship can disaapear into the effects at 250 meters how can I shoot him with a forge gun or large rail turret? I will put the pics up later as proof and YES I took these pics while in my redzone reason being it was so I could take them dying a few time just to get the pics.

It changes things up, turns an open map with little cover into a claustrophobic suspenseful fight where I don't know where the enemy is. I want to see it more often. Stubborn "elite and super helpful snipers" can just keep quitting the battle if they don't like it
