1000 yard stare = new felwinters lie in a sense that it is overused
There's such a thing as an overused gun that is too powerful for its weapon type
I'm mostly a shotguner and snipe during trials matches I've never missed the light house upon all my attempts, and in all my play of destiny I always thought snipers where fine the ways they were, rewarding a skilled hand in play, but they had to risk exposing close range, a shotgun exploited that but isn't too goof at range. The felwinters lie brought many discussions of being over powered, truth is if snipers were so skilled, they would be able to hit a rushing target before he got in. While not exactly super over powered after a nerf, the felwinters lie simply was overused and saw , many nerfs and now here we are.
Now snipers rule the crucible, even when a shotguner has the jump they still need time to get in range, this allows snipers to react and counter with the last word. A shotgun has never been out matched in its own territory until now.
A sniper has always been good at range and now a shotgun isn't even the most viable option at close range, makes no sense to me.
Like the felwinter was, the 1000 yard stare is overused and simply should be nerfed to add diversity to the game. Bungie even said this was their goal.
I'm thinking descope upon taking damage, removing aim assist to see who the real hotshots are, or making switching to a last word slower so shotguners still have the edge for taking the risk of getting in close and getting the jump, and still are rewarded for home field advantage

2 RepliesI feel like this complaint is a little far fetch. Your more so complaining about a specific class setup that compliments it's self very well than the actual sniper. Also 1000 yard is fairly easy to obtain which is also part of its vast use in crucible. Also I'm sick of everyone complaining about "variation" nothing is holding u back from using what u want to use. We aren't at year 1 where all u saw was thorn and last word we are In a somewhat good space. Not perfect but decent.

Don't worry. Apparently it's all part of the plan. Bungie will change things up again later when they decide that people should use something other than sniper rifles. It's to "keep the game fresh."

So how did you feel about the LDR? Was the butthurt as strong then as it is with you now, or would you say it has increased with the passage of time?

1 ReplyIt's a little different. Felwinters for a time was the only gun of its archetype. In ttk only 1k stare and Erine are of the best sniper archetype and 1k stare is the better of the two. People on this forum will blame aim assist, however there isn't much of a difference in aim assist among any sniper in destiny. They are all very strong for a console fps. The scopes are really the deciding factor. He Ernie has no low zoom scopes. Even the faucon which looks like iron sights aims way too far to be useful.

They have snipers scouts and some pulses as long range weapon types and then every other weapon is close to midrange. So it's a mess they can't balance well there. It's just too crowded

New overused weapon = whatever Bungie decides not to nerf to death.

1 ReplyI really hope bungie ignores all this nerf the sniper bullshit like they do most other things. I use shotguns since fusions suck ass.

It's overused because it's the only Legendary Sniper of its archetype in the game. I.e. Her Benevolence, LDR, etc.

3 RepliesHey man, while some adjustments to in-game PVP weaponry are warranted, and some aren't, when an individual is requesting to lessen the effectiveness of one thing and are posting a thread about it that thread is the statements and reasoning of [b]one[/b] individual. That individual (and I'm not speaking of you, I'm speaking in [i]general[/i]) can have a legit reason or more, or non legit reasoning. That player can be considered bias, considered unreasonable, possibly considered immature for asking, or even considered weak for the request. Nerf requests should never be anything less than a POLL. It's an entire gaming community that your request effects. The request itself to nerf snipers can even boost usages of the item because reading it's OP will impress upon others it's the only way to combat what you're asking by them going and getting the weapon and using it. Because it's a nerf request, it effects an entire gaming community, people requesting that nerf should consider the entirety of who that nerf effects. Or this is just another "guy wanting a nerf". Please make a POLL. If the community majority demographic outweighs the disagreeing percentage... it's the most fair way to scale the request. If not, according to Sage Merril, your post here... [i]this thread[/i] is just another [i]"N-thousandth rant I am too busy with other sh*t to pay attention to."[/i] No disrespect. And thank you.

7 RepliesOnce again, buff our hip fire and in air accuracy to 100% if you want us to descope when shot at.

12 RepliesDe scope is a bad idea simply due to how that would affect PVE. Not many people consider this when they suggest this.

4 RepliesIt seems that what you're really complaining about is The Last Word. You can't complain about the role of a sniper rifle being fulfilled by a skilled user within the intended constraints of weapon balance. What you have every right to complain about is the fact that when you attempt to exploit the weakness snipers have at short range by using shotguns in their intended role, you are getting shut down by The Last Word. That covers-all-the-bases nature of a sniper paired with The Last Word is what's actually balance-breaking. Such has been the nature of The Last Word since release

2 RepliesWell you're right about it being the new overused weapon Don't tell the Desticles that though. Either way, it's best to get over it for now. Changes are few and far between with this game

1 ReplyYea, it shouldn't be a OHK like that with such high aim assist. Needs a nerf

4 RepliesI don't see why the 1000 Yard Stare should be singled out if snipers are tampered with.

7 RepliesDescope, no. Much more flinch, yes. Remove aim assist, no, it's on all guns. Reduce aim assist, yes. Take out target acquisition perk i.e. hidden hand, only if rangefinder is off shotguns. Slower equip speed and zoom in speed, yes.

1 ReplySo pretty much your talking about the last word? Because i dont see your point besides its used alot
