Hey Bungie, about everyone sniping all game every game on every map at any distance...
It's not -blam!-ing fun

Having a severe tactical disadvantage isn't supposed to be fun. It's shouldn't be easy to casually walk through an open space without fear of your head exploding. Dan right I'm gonna hardscope that stupid bobbing head that blunders out into the open

8 RepliesEdited by GHOSTFACE: 7/12/2016 12:59:45 PMI agree with you here. I don't see it as fair when they've nerfed shotguns so many times and snipers were barely touched or even at all seriously. Shotguns and snipers are the only 2 special weapons that are used constantly and Bungie think's its weapon diversity. Suggestions: [u]Make fusion rifles like how they were in year 1 vanilla destiny and make all sidearms have less recoil. Make snipers have increased flinch when being shot at with precision hits.[/u] Shotguns have been nerfed to its stow times, handling, and nerfed to its range like 3 times. Also the discontinued perk "shot package". Fusions were nerfed to range twice, nerfed damage, burst despawn, and also the burst is so wide that its rarely even possible to kill in a one shot unless you have perks like rangefinder or hot swap to help with the blast. Sidearms have a bit of recoil on them and unless they have hot swap or any other accuracy and stability perk, they won't get the job done efficiently. Bungie claims they want diversity but fail to even see why players gravitate to snipers more than any other special. Everyone knows that If you don't run a sniper in Trials, your team will be at a disadvantage. Conclusion: [u]Buff other special weapons to increase diversity. Add more flinch to all snipers. And only then the meta will change.[/u]

I thought they removed my favorite weapon so pvp players would stop crying about getting sniped? They should bring IB back for PVE and let PVP players use the one with the flashlight.

3 RepliesThat is just how sniping is. Every once in a while someone will pull a crazy snipe on you at point blank range and if this is constantly happening to you, then you just have shitty luck
-
22 Repliesfirst blink, now snipers, stop trying to ruin the game for the majority because you(as well as others) don't like it. All your doing is trying to get them to mold the game to your preference. just fyi there is just as much shotgun use as there is sniper use,. its time to quite crying NERF on anything that kills you. someone sniped you up close big deal man...it was a good shot, very few can consistently pull that off, very few are crucible gods when it comes to sniping. lets just finish destiny 1 with a little class and as much grace as we can manage.

5 RepliesHow would you feel about a exotic helmet which prevents one shot snipers that is across the characters like the crest of alpha lumpi?

2 RepliesAll else being equal, snipers aren't a problem and fit quite well with the other weapons. When you factor in bad players or pugs vs. teams, there becomes quite a vocal backlash towards them. Good players can deal with them easily except at times when going solo vs. a set team. I would hate for this game to be balanced around bad players. Or around average players who play against set teams. When two set teams go at it, there will be a skill gap between sniper users. Just like there is between shotgun users. This is a good thing. Making snipers in Destiny the equivalent of snipers in CoD/Halo/where ever is a bad thing. Let Destiny's version of the sniper have a chance to flourish. People reacted the same way about Gears of War shotguns and their cries ruined the franchise to where it's still trying to recover.

Edited by ValorRob: 7/12/2016 10:06:17 PMWeren't you on here talking about how snipers were fine? You must be wanting a buff to primary weapons?

4 RepliesBuffing primary's would be a quick fix and solve a lot of problems. Year one was better because there were primary weapons that weren't nerfed into the ground.

I agree.

6 RepliesEdited by StevenMcBurn: 7/12/2016 9:18:31 PMPosts have gotten to a point on this forum where they're actually complaining about guns you have to aim now. Let's take a minute to mourn our place in video game history. Realistically threads like this only exist because people are better snipers than others. Not because sniping is brokenly strong, or there's nothing you can do against snipers, but because some people are better at it than others. There hasn't been a crucible match I've played yet where I've seen someone sniping down a corridor for half the match and I didn't just put a sniper on, get some special ammo, and snipe back and eventually they stop trying. It's kind of shameful that we're at this place. - For those interested the OP responded: [quote]Sniper rifles require less aim than anything in Destiny besides shotguns.[/quote] [quote]Oh, really? I guess that's why you have a 41% precision kill rate with them, huh. Super easy to use.[/quote] http://destinytracker.com/destiny/crucible/xbox/Lost%20Sols?characterId=2305843009236825013 He doesn't even use snipers, but he knows how easy they are to use. This is what these forums have come to. 1 character, 0 sniper kills, 2nd character, 2 sniper kills, 3rd character 122 sniper kills 41% precision kills. But they're easy to use. Ok. Great meme, good thread.

They need to buff all other special weapon types along with primaries in my opinion, notice how year 1 people didn't camp snipers all game

Sniping is fun.

Just limit special ammo. Of course some guns will be singled out like ice breaker and LoW (high capacity).

2 RepliesI feel like you and I have completely different experiences in the Crucible, Sols. We need to play together so I can see what you're seeing.

1 Replyit must be fun for the people your playing

It's not that snipers need to be nerfed (not that I enjoy getting headglitched), but that special ammo itself is far too prevalent and easy to come across. special weapons should be used sparingly and in dire situations where your primary just won't do/you have to reload/a super or res is coming. reduce ammo from crates or reduce crate times and/or wipe special ammo every round in trials. it would prevent teams from hoarding SA reducing snowball effects of special weapon only teams. force players back into primary gunfights where the skill really shows in aim, movement, and map awareness instead of who pulls the trigger first.

2 RepliesThere used to be answers to this problem, but then they got nerfed, then they got nerfed, then they got nerfed. I was supposed to go to work, but then they got nerfed...

Thank you.

Edited by Kyle: 7/12/2016 5:53:30 PMSorry, should I change back to my shot gun, because you will complain at both now.

When will they ever stop nerfing. Look what it all ended up being like lol.

3 RepliesEdited by Johnny 2794: 7/12/2016 9:53:45 AMThe problem isn't the sniper rifles the real problem it's bungie nerf all primary weapons like hand cannons pulse rifles scot rifles thorn last word pretty much everything that's why in year 1 we don't have this problem
-
Edited by B42-Al: 7/12/2016 6:03:10 PMBuff the stability on sidearms, buff the range on shotguns, and buff the damage(a little) on fusions rifles. [spoiler]my opinion anyway, oh and buff my super a bit[/spoiler] primarys could also use some range and stability buffs to compete with snipers better

Bump! I miss a good ol' fire fight where everyone's running around engaged in some close quarter combat - now it's just a camp fest boring!!!
