all I'm saying is us snipers need more love i went 24/1 and only got like 18,000 sp, i deserve wayyy more for that you, u know how many times I've saved my teammates from getting killed a **** ton man!!

Squad leaders has to use fragmented orders to get more SP, ISK within your area. I believe that the closer you guys are, the better.

Only 18k SP!? I'm a logi, I lay drop uplinks and nanohives that turn the tide of battles. You sometimes keep teammates from dying? I actually bring them back from death.

On a good day I get 10k SP per match.

I've got 35K by kill whoring with a rail gun turret installation for the entire match while blowing up all the structures I could with that turret, I also gunned down a drop ship, a tank and a few LAV's in the process.

wft i have to do to get anywhere near 100k sp?

Thank you for abusing a broken mechanic :) Let's all do it so we can get rid of them before launch.

ITs not a broken machanic. People just dont destroy them...

They are almost not destroyable by anything except tanks or RE as:

SL tend to aim for the bottom and almost never hit them except dumbfired from close range.

They can aim at angles where the barrel clips through the structure vertices. (So you aren't safe anywhere even right at the red bubble.)

They have infinite range and a safe seat for the gunner. (so no sniping or sneaking behind them)

Dude, i am a logi and i get between 18k and 25k.
You are doing something wrong, are you reviving people?

I ride tanks and get 50,000 on avreage 150,000 on a good day. Tanks FTW

just got 126k Sp with pure sniper on ambush.

P.S. you don't have to sit there hack the uplinks then find a spot to guard one at two at least.

I will admit that sp for the snipers is a bit low. On average I get 10-30k sp each game and I'm usually the one with the most kills. I'm a sniper my self but I just don't wait for that one good shot to get my kill. I do 3 things at once, I snipe the ones shooting at my squad , I counter snipe, and I help defend control points. I get a lot of one shot kills, and it does help and contribute to the team winning. Although I am killed easily due to little to no defense, I help out my team wether they know it or not. I am a "camper" as some have called snipers, but I do move around if I feel my position is compomized in any fashion.
During ambush maps, I use my assault suit to drop a spawn point then I get back to my usual sniping. For all the people saying sniper rifles and scout suits are overpowered, you all need to stop bitching and whining about the things that your not doing. Every suit has its own characteristics and same as the weapons. Sniper rifles are supposed to hit hard but have a slow rof, so why keep bitching about it? If you want this game to be like cod or mag, then go play those games. If you suck at one role, don't say that it's over powered and say it needs nerfed just because you suck at it and want others to conform to help YOU win or get more kills. Learn the roles of each suit before you complain about them.

Riding a tank and blasting people ain't hard work either buddy

I call bs on the scout comment, i just got flanked as a scout and out of at least half a mag he only actually hit me twice and that was before i even tried to fight back

I'm not meaning if you sneeze on us we die. I'm saying compared to every other suit we are more fragile with the low HP that the scouts have. We do have a small hit radius so getting hit is harder, but that is due to our small suit size. Going toe to toe with another class, our only defense is our speed and agility.

But the sp / isk system is ********, so nothing impossible

i have no idea on what basis it gives you those bonuses but it has nothing to do with logic or anything, as i made 15k sp and 120k isk just running around in base for 15min, and get 2.5k sp and 10k isk for being the MVP in a game using alot of different kits and hacking things and stealing jeeps and tank. i seriously have no idea how does it actually calculate thhe ammount of stuff, and also you can find a suruya as loot, not being able to sell it, so that kinda does NOT make it up, atleast yet. but the sp count is too low and i'd like the skill system be same as in eve for example 256k sp for 1x skill and 2x to be 512k and so on.

wth, I thought gains like this were stopped?

Jesus christ, the last thing we need is ENCOURAGEMENT for more snipers.

I feel pretty confident sniping will be nerfed in the future. Everyone in the top KDR is either a sniper, a tank person, or abusing scout suits. Maybe Ludwig is the exception, although I only saw him in a game one time. He was nonetheless in an assault suit.

Either way, sniping is super easy, super safe, super powerful. In a game like Dust, with big, open areas, it behooves CCP to err on the side of snipers being underpowered. After all, overpowered snipers (as they are currently) makes the game suck more for everyone. Underpowered snipers only makes the game suck for some snipers.

Well try sniping and see how little kills you get when you die constantly on counter sniping, sniping is fine what isn't fine is you whiny little bitches that who ran on the open begging to get shot.

I am telling you as someone who for whatever reason is more successful than most people with a sniper rifle that sniping is overpowered and needs to be nerfed. I expect any other snipers in the top 10 on the leaderboard would probably say the same. Sniping is nowhere near where it needs.

If your heading to take out a sniper this is what I would do, never run in a straight line, move, and sway left to right, and when your close enuff shoot him. They are most likely going to be croutching, either that or they run. Just a tip.

I havnt seen one good sniper yet tbh

Pitching a tent up in the hillside doing **** all except taking potshots now n again

its all about the PTFO not camping somewhere behind a building or on the biggest mountain, the only contribution would be in ambush K/D is nothing.

taking out swarmers that are shooting at your teams tanks or dropships..so yea dont bash snipers saying they are only good on skirmish..i think if i see you with a tank ,i will the swarmer kill you and your tank

Snipers do not need any appreciation. We do not put ourselves in any great risk. Why should we have any kind of significant rewards when you're just sitting around someplace partaking in a turkey shoot?

Oh yeah? Why are there so many red triangles on your screen? Whos dropping the uplinks behind enemy lines? Who's holding off 3+ guys in full proto with a rifle just so you can spawn safely? Who's sniping turret gunners and vehicle gunners so you can advance safely? That's me.

If you're camping in a mountain with a rifle, good for you. But I'm on the frontlines with my fellow logistics and Assaults fending off attackers or poppin' defenders in the face.

All about how you play the game, man.

[quote=Fiasco Llana][quote=Fivetimes Infinity]Snip helped MORE is if the same guy was down AT the objective with me, covering me with an AR and actually helping to cap objectives, complete squad orders, dropping hives/uplinks, repairing, tossing grenades, etc rather than being stuck up in the hills only helping with a single aspect.

when i snipe,i prefer solo

that's interesting, I didn't know there was a 1v1 mode on Dust.

That's why the suit is called scout. Really they're behind enemy lines. There is no sniper suit. A real sniper is someone who hunts snipes. People who camp in mountains are not snipers, and really they aren't scouts. They're just... Marksmen? And even then they're only marksmen if they can actually hit something.

Hunting birds on this game wouldn't be fun, nor do I think their would be snipes on an uninhabitable planet.

Cool. Anyway, this is a thread about snipers.

You know... If you want to get technical about it.

When we talk about snipers we're referring to people who are sitting somewhere shooting people with a sniper rifle. It's great that you took all that time to write that post up, but that's not relevant to this thread. If you're dropping uplinks all over the place and otherwise "on the frontlines with my fellow logistics and assaults" then that's not what this thread is about. Although if you think assault or logistics roles aren't being adequately rewarded you're certainly welcome to make your own thread about it.

It's super inconsistent, and it seems to be going up a bit. I played last night and was getting 20k+ every match.

The hard part of logi is that your warpoints are heavily dependent on how much teamwork you get out of your allies. If you have a team of snipers and lonewolves you'll never get to rep, revive, or resupply and everyone will pick the default random spawns over your uplinks.

By contrast, on maps where my team is showing some semblance of coherence my drop uplinks get used consistently, there's almost always someone in my nanohives, and since people are staying close by I can be there to revive them right away. I've pulled in 50k in a match and I only got, like, three kills.

agreed.. that's what I do in my Logi setups... lay down drop links.. follow a group of people.. when a firefight breaks out, drop a nanohive and work the repair tool keeping the heavies on their feet...

Snipers take out targets of opportunity, not relevance.

-- drunk as usual.

Altered judgement, as usual.

What you're talking about is shooting a long billed bird. Now unless I am sadly mistaken, there are no freakin' birds in the game. It's not a sniper rifle. It's a railgun. Again, you are right. Apparently this thread is about killing snipes, but I haven't seen the bird mentioned once. Did I say assault or logistics roles aren't being adequately rewarded?

So if this thread is about snipers, it has been massively derailed and exploded by a nuke.

Drugs are bad, kids.

Mods, lock please?
