I really dont get it at all. I mean Im a sniper I could have thought our position was sniping and reconnaissance on the battle field. So y are you getting mad at Snipers because their good at what they do. That like getting mad at a Heavy because their always in the front lines and never on the cliffs sniping or not leading the rush into battle, and thats redonkuluss y because thats what the suits are made for. Also we are very helpful in battle such as being able to spot large group of ppl that others might not see of being able to tell the location of tanks, LAV's and dropships. providing cover and assistants. I just don get it |

What you want to play as is NOT a sniper. You want to play as what the military calls a designated marksman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_marksmanPeople see DMs and instantly think he's a sniper. He's not. He extends the operational and operative range of the squad he is attached to. Snipers are attached to platoons in pairs. Therefore there 2 snipers for around every 40 men. People also get annoyed because out of 14 players per team, 9 on each will be 'snipers' who are complete and utter dead weight to the team, who never cap or protect objectives, who never actually seem to lower their scope and do nothing but look at their own K\D. They also don't fit in to a shooter based around teamwork. I personally thing the class needs a RADICAL redesign, or left as is but limited to 2 per team per game. Because right now, having snipers on your own team almost gurantees you've lost. Especially if there is more than 3. Well for one there is no way that a team on any of these maps need just one sniper. Y because it is impossible for just one sniper to view the entire battle field angle wise. So just having one would be very stressful for that person. 3 would seem like more of a minimum for these maps. Also just because you have more snipers on your team doesnt mean that you've lost. If they can all work together then you have a much better chance at winning. |

It's not about the good snipers being good at being snipers. It's about the game making BAD snipers a viable method of earning money with minimal personal risk. You can be a bad sniper and still get a good K/D, and because you're not dying much (if at all), you're seeing almost all the post-battle income as pure profit.
Good snipers are fine. But the game makes things too easy for BAD snipers as well. Well i would think once everything starts moving to contract and corp battle then I would think that this would be a problem any more. Or at least hopefully it wouldnt be a problem anymore. |

There will always be casual players. There will always be a system for casual players to take NPC contracts. There will always be a need for the game to be balanced with those problems in mind. What? casual players wont be playing against corps unless those casual players are in a corp that is. |

Show me where I said anything about the problems with snipers being corp-related. Um you said "there will always be casual players" and i said " casual player wont be playing in any corp battles and contracts . since when the game goes full on is what every one since it will be the only was to get isk and such. |

There are a very few good/awesome snipers in the game. These snipers are more important than grunt assault players like myself. I could be easily replaced in my team. I couldn't replace our snipers. that makes no sense. If i were a specialist for a sniper fit but was horrible at every other fit why then would i switch my class. So what I could become a detriment to my team when i was helping more when i stuck with what i know best. |

Well that you, not everyone else. Some ppl can be the best at sniping and suck at everything else or using any other weapon |

Whether a bad sniper is in a corp or not, and whether a casual player is in a corp or not, the current sniping mechanics along with how the weapons are balanced still make them a SAFER way to earn ISK and SP than any other strategy at present. Casual players WILL see that, in comparison with ANY other strategy available to them, sniping is practically risk-free, and in NPC contracts, you'll see lots of bad snipers, unless things change. As mentioned, current plans should see change happening to the sniping mechanics, so we'll just have to wait and see how that turns out. What? Im still not getting you just about everyone here in the beta now will be in a corp. I thought that they said once everything is done or watever that contracts will be the only way to obtain isk. So im doubting that ppl that really dont play sniper will be playing anymore to save their suit sense it wont help them if they keep losing. Also in doing a contact Im pretty sure you wont be just playing randoms. |

If I have a sniper rifle im not going to go to the front lines Errrrrrrrrr what. Thats exactly what a snipers job is not sitting a million miles in the rear , they are up front evadeing detection and causeing mayhem, at least thats what my old seargent used to tel us. That if you get all your hacking and running skills up yea maybe. But out suit will be very weak against gun fire so i dont see how much mayhem we could cause. But for the most part this scout suit is not meant for frontline action now maybe if we had some cloaking and better sneak attacks and such then sure but no. A sniper rifle is meant to be used for long range. |

Let me make this clear: You are NOT a sniper. There is NO sniper class in this game! It is INCORRECTLY named and you're actually playing as a Designated Marksman. You're job is to extend the operational (Read: Lethal) range of your squad. You are supposed to be on the front line, right next to your squad leader hitting priority targets and suppressing others so the actual killers of your unit (HMGs and AR) can get close enough to cause the real damage. A sniper, that is, a true sniper... is more of a scout. He rarely fires his gun and spends 99% of his time on a radio. A marksman however is with the squad, giving them nearly double the lethal range and covering the rest of the squad with accurate fire. If you lone wolf, you're doing it COMPLETELY wrong. Again let me make this clear that scout suit an the type of weapons available for it is not meant to be on the front lines whats so ever. It in now way is even remotely built to be able to handle any front line action. |

Basically Amarrkis, snipers in this game are a detriment to the team. Can you tell me with a straight face that 9 snipers on the hills on Manus Peak will do ANYTHING to take at least 2/3 of the objectives that is needed to win? Nope, they are just going to sit there and wonder why suddenly the other team has 3 points and they are being pushed back into their spawn. I said if they work together. Now yes having 9 ppl in the same location is pretty stupid. But if they were to spread out and communicate with both the team and amongst themselves then that would be different |

What now your just saying stuff. Im telling you what the devs told us nothing more nothing less. Also what great attitude what attitude am i having? I'm trying to point out something that currently DOES affect players, and if sniping mechanics don't change, will CONTINUE to affect players, with regards to how sniping works. The ONLY argument you can level against me is that it doesn't matter because "everyone HERE will be in a corp anyway" That sounds like the new players who pick the game up post-release don't matter at all to you. The people who are just going to play casually, and not join a corp don't matter to you. As far as you're concerned, anyone but people involved in player corporations is irrelevant, because you're not one of those players. THAT attitude. I'm not saying this because I expect to be personally affected by it post-release. I'm saying it because I can see how a NEW PLAYER WITHOUT A CORP will react if the mechanics and rewards for sniping aren't changed. Well the y dont you say that then. You go and think i have some attitude because you didnt make your self clear. Sorry i cant read minds after 2:00. Also yes i guess some people could get frustrated at the fact that people are playing the sniper class because they want to save up money. I still dont get the problem only that they dont really work with the team and one another. |

you spend nothing. you hide. you can't arm, you can't heal, you can't repair. if the team loses, who cares? your precious kd is intact and you spent nothiing on gear
if the team wins, your kd is the same and your expenses are the same but now you get to put a +1 in the win column because everyone else carried you to the win line.
friggin anchors.
you provide no recon. you still expect a squad of 4 to work with 3 people on the field and you in the mountains AND you have the balls to request fragos.
any squad leader who spams points off an anchor sniper is possibly as bad as the sniper himself. sorry... my bad.

when they push out the new sniper build... it should come with a box of choclates and a case of tampons
Peace B Well im not defending any crappy help so sure watever. Also i thought a sniper was suppose to hide??? Your pointing out stupid things. Im not a sniper because i care about my K/D. I provide info on the battle field. Yes some dont but all are not like that. |

Also when ever my sqaud spots a sniper i go and switch to my sniper fit, because omg im a sniper that also can play in a scout suit in the front lines, and hurry to kill the sniper.

Today is Veterans day in America and I believe Canada as well. Do you know what it means to be part of a military team? It means not worrying whether you live or die, only that your buddies make it home. Again no really dont care about my K/D my style of play when i play in my shotgun scout suit is to jump straight in the enemies face and blast tit off. Yes i am a sniper. No I help my team. No i dont know what it means to be part of the military team but i do know how to work together. Ok well that is a great ideal to live by and if i must say im always trying to watch out for my other teammate, if im a sniper or in the front lines doesn't matter. |

well...
personally i look forward to having my alt since you nerds love alt accounts, i figure ill join in this time.
only thing is my alt will be the one who pops into pub rooms in null sec, looks at the map prior to spawning and heads out asap to the camp snipers on our team. ill probably mess with you first, just hit you occasionally to throw off your aim. but then ill get bored and just flat out tk you. it's my alt. what do i care? stats don't matter.
but towards the end of the game ill skip the funny stuff and just land and tk you, and you and you...
reallly any camp sniper on any team in null sec. ill be the one who tks you. a lot.
gonna love watching you spend money. spend that money. kit after kit. ill be using standard gear. no loss for me.
so yeah... we can do that.
Peace B Just to make sure if you think im using a alt account im not. I use this one character name to post what I feel about things. Im not going to hide behind another name because of what ppl might think. |

Then you started to talk about the scout suit which in terms of specs is also not built for the front lines. |

Also i was not being closed minded to your comment. I said that is not what the sniper rifle is built for, and your really not on the front line if you have enough time for your sniper to steady for a shot. Just to say but if your shooting before hand then by all means you go and revolutionize but ill stick to what is was meant for thanks. |

Maybe the problem is that they can snipe you from their redzone, and that's kinda dificult for teams who have not snipers in their team (it's kinda the same with tanks sniping from their redzone). Yes, you can climb the mountain and kill them but if they are not close enough from the "general zone" you will get suicide. I think the principal problem is the redzone. The rest it's just normal. If you're a regular player, you know where they are. You just need 1 sniper to take them down and they won't back to those places. Get a good suit and they will need 3 or 4 shoots to kill you. Move between mountais or buldings and you won't even feel snipers.
Sorry for the english. See you Everyone and this redzone stuff has anyone ever thought for one moment(not saying you dont) that each team can not see the red line that separates their team from the other teams safe zone. So while i see a nice safe zone that I've found to snipe from. Someone else see's a sneaky sniper thats scared to come down and play because they are doing what their suit and weapon are built for. has anyone every thought of that?
I really like your name by the way PS: Temari beat him bad. |

Well your no fun like I said before, close minded *sigh* I guess you just want to keep this going huh fine then
LIKE I SAID BEFORE OK STAY WITH ME. The Sniper Rifle is MEANT for long distance OK YOU STILL WITH ME it in no way WAS MEANT for SHORT RANGE/ FRONT LINES but some how you dont seem to understand that |

The Sniper Rifle is MEANT for long distance OK YOU STILL WITH ME it in no way WAS MEANT for SHORT RANGE/ FRONT LINES but some how you dont seem to understand that Bzzt. Wrong. Sniper Rifles are not meant for long range. Any gun can do long range (A standard rifle can hit targets at 500 meters, 300 accurately). The point of a sniper rifle is to hit targets between 3 and 600 meters ACCURATELY . That's the key difference. It's not made for range, it's made for precision. The range is a by-product of that. Please for the love of all that is holy, stop with the over romanized idea of a sniper being a lone wolf killer hiding in the long grass. It does not exist and the fact it's perpetuated HURTS team based FPS games! ANNNT WRONG, SORRY, U ARE THE WEAKEST LINK GOODBYE!!! Yes it is meant for precision but it is mean for precision over LONG RANGE or there wouldn't be a scope that has great power than a assault rifle. Tho yes you can use one closer, The sniper rifle that is in the game (which i should have stated early) is not meant for such a thing. |

You wanna bring a knife to a gun fight, go for it. Why put limitations on things? If your talking to be indirectly and I said IF. Then i never said that one could not use the weapon that way. I said that the rifle that is in the game is not built for it. But I said by all means for him to go a revolutionize the way ppl use that sniper rifle. |

Someone else see's a sneaky sniper thats scared to come down and play because they are doing what their suit and weapon are built for. has anyone every thought of that? I really like your name by the way PS: Temari beat him bad. Well, when i see a match inbalanced and i will get kill so many times, sometimes i use my redzone to snipe people. I have not problem with a safe zone, i think it's necessary. But i think, the difference between my redzone and the enemy redzone is too big. Maybe if an Assault Suit, or Logistic Suit can go to the enemy redzone, kill the sniper and come back in less than 15 seconds will be better for the gameplay. Because in this way, people get forced to use snipers. I know, if you have a little of all in your team is better. But i don't think that anyone wants to gets forced to play with something that he/she don't want to or don't like. If i have a team with 0 snipers and i want to kill one who is in the top of some building in his redzone? Give me options, make the game flexible. supply depots LOL i know, i mean, if i want to play all the match, with a heavy suit, you must give me the chance to kill an assault, logistic or sniper suit. You must give them differents advantage to the suits, but you need to do anything with any suit, maybe faster and better with one than other, but anything with anyone I get what your saying but then again, forgive me for being blunt but its just who i am, what you said is stupid the classes are much like rock, paper, scissors each being able to beat another but none being able to beat all. This is why ppl create corps so that they can have an assortment of players to take onto battle( not to say that you didnt know that.) But i do think that each class should have at least 5 special things that only that suit can accomplish. |

I get that but again that just not how i want to use the weapon
what y wouldn't I. the ppl who make this game put there time into making use entertainment. Tho yes im sure it would bring smiles to their faces im still not just gonna blow their interpretation of the weapon they created off. |

Tho yes you can use one closer, The sniper rifle that is in the game (which i should have stated early) is not meant for such a thing. Going a little off point here... You've never fired a gun, have you? It has a scope so it's precise. Telescopic sights exist for Designated Marksmen to do their job easier (Extend accurate, lethal engagement range of their squad, remember when I said that part?)... gun's are not easy to aim, nothing like a video game, son. If we're talking about the game, well then it's still a redundant, useless tool that can have it's rolled filled more efficiently by someone in Assault Gear using the Tac Rifle with Sharpshooter 5. A sniper does 1 thing in this game... And it does it poorly. A good sniper is better, but he's still gimping himself by a weapon with limited and difficult application. Anyone else get the feeling they're talking to a wall? Dude, seriously, defend the play style all you want, it don't change the fact it's from a long gone and long dead genre of FPS gaming. It has no place in modern shooters, it contributes nothing.
No I have not but im sure it would be fun to Yes I remember when you said that but lets see if you remember this/ I said that THIS RIFLE IN THE GAAAAAAAAAME or should i say the SCOPE is built for long range now maybe a different sniper rifle would be better for closer distance but not this one. Also were here to live out a fantasy/ future this isnt real life, "father"
Um i dont think we're talking I believe that we are typing but ooooook. Also this is a horrible view in my opinion. Just because some ppl you a certain thing for a different reason doesn't mean i use it for that same reason. I help out my I contribute. So when you can see what on the other side of the battle filed with your scrabbler you come and tell me. A;so a horrible view if you where to make games a class that has been deeply rooted in to shooting games of all sort and to just throw it away. Now thats not to say that you cant put this class but also something with a a spin of it sure but just yea. |

Ok, i understand you, now tell me something, if snipers in the top of some mountain or bulding in their redzone are paper, where are the scissors to take them down? You need another paper for win against a paper, that's kinda funny and weird haha[/quote] OH haha you tried to get me but NOPE the scissors can be Tanks or Dropships( because of the distance and power they provide) now if you don that a forge gun can be useful or maybe a laser rifle if one have the effective range to a high enough point? |
