Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 795	Posted - 2015.05.14 13:43:00 - [1] - Quote If you hold still, literally everyone will headshot you. If you move the slightest bit, shifting your feet in any way, the Sniper Rifle will sway and shake like crazy, even with max skills. It is easier and faster to snipe with the forge gun because it remains steady when walking or strafing. This helps alleviate some of the fine aiming difficulties with the analog knob. You get your elevation right, and then walk left and right to aim, and it allows for some accurate long range shots. I propose a buff to the Sniper Rifle skill, 20% reduction to crouched sway per level. At level 5 a crouching sniper will be able to crouch walk their weapon. There will be bullets.

Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 797	Posted - 2015.05.15 13:47:00 - [2] - Quote Really, the sniper rifle just isn't fun. Low rewards and painfully unforgiving aim mechanics. Sometimes I miss so many times in a row the enemies stop trying to evade. I would be laughing if I wasn't trying so hard to line up a headshot. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG [CEO of Terror]

Agree that sway is whats holding sniping back from being anything but pure redline hugging The fact is that as long as sniper mechanics reward you for sitting around in one position and punish you for being mobile, then sniping will disproportionately reward camping in one spot, and since camping in one spot is suicidal, you will end up with people camping in the redline, where only other snipers can kill them.

Dementia Maniaclease Dust 514 Elite Ops 30	Posted - 2015.05.16 02:15:00 - [7] - Quote Orrrrrr..... Your could use it point blank range.. I've done it before, fell from my perch right in front of a red and just pulled the trigger Dead red Never had trouble with the sniper rifle, Just have too much ADD to stay park in one spot .. even with good kills "An enemy on the march is at its most vulnerable"- Sun Tzu
Chosokabe Ite Shields Of The State 80	Posted - 2015.05.16 04:05:00 - [8] - Quote Not sure about this one, feels like It would make sniping too easy. The sway isn't that much of an obstacle if you limit your movement. I have no problem finding good spots that hide me from view and give me angle to sit and snipe from, not needing to move at all, thus, the sway isn't going to bother me. I've had a 14-kill 0-death match sniping thit way. If I get killed, it's because some had to look for me first. And It's just dumb getting close to the battle itself or sitting on top of a hill/tower where everyone can see you. You don't have to worry about sway if you snipe smart. I fear this idea would turn sniping into This (skip to 0:23)

I once got attacked by a scout while sniping. I wasn't aiming but just pulled the trigger and got a random headshot on him, I was laughing for 5 minutes without stopping.

NINEinch WEAPON WarRavens 95	Posted - 2015.05.17 04:58:00 - [11] - Quote Yes if they remove the sway, my guess is you will be able to hip fire better in cqc. .. it will be op "winning" an inch at a time

Starlight Burner Arrary of Clusters 261	Posted - 2015.05.17 10:43:00 - [13] - Quote Sounds more like Quick Scoping will become a thing with the Tactical rifles. No to your Request. CEO of Arrary of Clusters, a close relations corporation Caldari Factional Warfare, enlist today! Thank you for DUST
deezy dabest 2291	Posted - 2015.05.17 11:13:00 - [14] - Quote I can agree that the sway is a bad mechanic but things would have to be seriously adjusted around removing it. Additional kick, adjusted rate of fire, and zoom that increases over time are just some possible adjustments that could be used to keep sniper rifles from become all about quick scoping while making them more viable outside of the red line.

Scheneighnay McBob And the ButtPirates 6645	Posted - 2015.05.18 00:23:00 - [16] - Quote This is idiotic. I personally think EVERY weapon should have vastly increased dispersion while you're moving. It's realistic. We don't need CoDumbasses trying to quickscope. Sniper rifles have the initial sway they have now because CCP intended to crush quickscoping before it became a problem. And they were successful. I still laugh every time one of those idiots tries it. Some details can be ignored

I still laugh every time one of those idiots tries it. This isn't about sway while moving. This is about initial sway when still, which has nothing to do with quickscoping.
Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 811	Posted - 2015.05.18 12:16:00 - [18] - Quote Yeah, the initial sway where you just have to wait is silly. If you move, it sways all over again. I agree about sway while running, so maybe we could have a movement threshold, where if you are going slow enough you will not sway when aiming. If you stop, crouch, and aim, it works as expected in every other FPS ever. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG [CEO of Terror]
Tread Loudly 2 D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 129	Posted - 2015.05.18 12:23:00 - [19] - Quote You can already "QuickScope" however it's not a simple as in games like COD. However I don't know why you would call us "dumbasses". If we can "Quickscope" you at 5-40 meters before you can kill us with an AR,RR,CR, etc. then you simply have no aim whatsoever. So before you decide to go on a rant, have validation, because it seems you don't play the game enough to know what you're talking about. Let my sniper see far, and my Bolt Pistol kill many.

I emptied my SMG and instead of reloading I switched to my sniper rifle that had one bullet still loaded and just blasted my opponent to death with a point-blank shot. It was awesome and fun. I sketched a comic, dramatizing that situation (my character shooting the sniper rifle with just one arm and flying ten meters backward from the kickback). I might finish that sometime.

Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 811	Posted - 2015.05.18 13:39:00 - [21] - Quote If someone wants to shoot me at .5 meters, they deserve to get the hit... It's just ridiculous trying to imagine how you could miss when the barrel of the weapon is blunted up against the target's shields or armor. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG [CEO of Terror]

And it only has no dispersion in ADS. Trying to shoot it without aiming causes it to disperse anywhere up to 80% of your screen away. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian.

Banjo Robertson Random Gunz Rise Of Legion. 604	Posted - 2015.05.18 16:07:00 - [23] - Quote just remove snipers from the game, but if we fail to get that, yeah, remove the sway completely, make the sniper operation skill do some other bonus because sniper sway shouldnt even be in the game.

DJINN Jecture Templar of the Glowing Blade 378	Posted - 2015.05.18 16:37:00 - [25] - Quote The history of sniper sway in Dust is really colorful and is a result of much QQ from non snipers and snipers alike. I realized we may have an issue so I went out and did some sniping tests. First test was to get up to high position and snipe down on targets running while adjusting in ADS to follow and lead. I got the impression that hitting a moving target was impossible or next to impossible anyways. I agree the sway is way overdone on the sniper rifles. It needs to be toned down or the benefit of max sniping skills increased greatly. My skills in sniping are high enough to tame the snipe sway somewhat but they should be taming it more. In fact my belief is that adjusting my aim shouldn't cause my rifle to jig all over the screen but it does. There are several ways to fix this, mostly taken from other game(s): Scopes, Bipods, Silencers and Muzzle brakes to improve control ability for snipers and other mercenaries* Adjust the code to limit the sway Prone, Vault, and Cover options in movement* Attachments to weapons add customization key to generating more revenue in the AUR market as well as the Player market by adding more cost based on attachments to the weapons to improve control, range, damage and effectiveness for the player. If you want some idea of what this means download and play Ghost Recon Phantoms on Steam to see what these type of customizations can do for improving rifle performance. There is simply too much sway at any level of SP invested to make any sniper training worthwhile, the ION Pistol works better There have been many many threads about this over the last 4 years with good reason -ç +æ+Ä ß+¦ß¦+Gé¦ß+¡ !!! ß¦äß¦â-à**
Mobius Wyvern Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 6	Posted - 2015.05.19 02:44:00 - [26] - Quote Remove sway and you get quick-scopers. I'd rather have sway. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector

Nope, sniper needs to be a role made up of a combination of a light suit with bonuses, damage mods and more sp investment in the weapon with third tier skills in order to be respected and not end up being a go to for every Tom, ***, and Harry.

Lol, I feel for people named Dck. Your name gets filtered. I'm fairly certain that given I have taken many a target out with a Thale pre major sniper jig and sway patch that skill points have been invested on my part at least to compensate for a significant amount of sway, unfortunate for those less skilled than me. Still there seems to be a good deal more sway then what is really acceptable for some one fully competent in sniping. *-ç +æ+Ä ß+¦ß¦+Gé¦ß+¡ !!!* *ß¦äß¦â-à*
Lahut K'mar sarges heros New Eden's Heros 73	Posted - 2015.05.19 06:36:00 - [30] - Quote In my opinion scouts and commandos don't have a problem with this since the former is stealthy and highly mobile while the latter can use a rail rifle and only bother sniping when the need arises and terrain permits. In other words, they don't have to camp for any longer than necessary and can get out of there when sniping is no longer possible. Nah, I think snipers are fine. Just build a fitting that permits greater mobility and/or versatility. If that's not an option, use the laser rifle. Horrifying? That's a strange way to spell "romantic". FIX THE WHEEL, CCP!
