Alright I started a thread about the sniper rifle on this issue, but the point seems to make ppl believe I'm complaining about the use of the sniper rifle. I'm not. Get this clear from the start. This is a thread of ideas how to balance the tiers of weapons and suits and applys to all of them, now I'm going to use a post from my sniper thread so for the love of god don't get off topic and start telling how you can win by doing different things with a sniper rifle and tactics......so off topic
Remb I'm to lazy to rewrite this from sniper post, so don't let it stray ur mind to only the sniper, its everything that has a tier.
This post has nothing to do with how a sniper operates. What it has to do with is the biggest balance problem I see in this game thus above all annoying glitches ect and it doesn't only concern sniper rifles, what we have is a totally broken tier system between militia and proto, im looking for ideas and suggestions to fix that especially on a weapon well used and not really mentioned in the forums, in eve and this is eve dust 514, free gear is never better then or even close to or near tier 1 skilled weapons, I don't think militia should be removed, I think its a great START point for new players to get the feel for the game and decide what to skill into, I don't agree with the lack of a viable tier solution, a militia sniper should have either reduced range or different optimal ranges, proto gear full damage at w/e range and let the damage decrease with each different tier a significant amount to the point militia can't two shot you in no way across the map, not even another scout suit, lots of ppl will QQ to this, but its how it works in eve and has proven to be the solution and a given standard. At current a militia sniper rifle as well as the proto must 2 shot you, besides commander. The damage increase on both makes a difference but it still takes two shots either way unless the being shot person is a heavy or 1 shot with either for scout suit. Try to understand that free gear offers no risk with all the reward, and with the snipers all being 2 shot equivalents regardless of the tier system there isn't incentive enough to skill into something as powerful and useful on the field as a sniper rifle.
