People on Destiny have complained about everything. Hand canons, pulse, shot guns and now snipers. The problem isn't snipers, it's the lack of counters. The pulses could offer a good amount pressure on snipers, and we all know what Thorn could do in year one. Now that things have been nerfed (by community request), people [who maybe arent good with scout rifles] are realizing that scouts are the only things that have a chance of countering them from a distance. I have been sniping since Crota dropped.
I used LDR, no one said a word.
House of Wolves came out and we could [u][b]PICK THE PERKS ON OUR GUNS[/b][/u] through re rolling them.
I ran Her Benevolence with Unflinching and Hidden Hand with BOTH the Ambush and Hawk Eye scopes. No one said a word.
Shot guns, hand canons and shotties are nerfed.
You have no options left but to adapt and suddenly 1000 yard stare is the devils gun. Snipers are what they always been. A gun that rewards reaction time and precision.
So think about it, are you really complaining because every single is sniper you meet is crazy good, or because you're running around like a chicken with its head cut off because you don't know what to do?

The LAG needs a nerf.... -_-

In my opinion, the reason people are complaining about them so much is because they use a sniper like a primary. The first thing most people do when they spawn into a game is pull out their sniper and watch the other team's spawn. It's the exact same thing as what was happening with shotguns in y1. I feel a good fix is make every match like inferno, you spawn with no special so you actually have to do some bare knuckles combat to start a game off.

I'm complaining because, in my opinion, 1000YS (aka the 1000AimAssist) is as much of a crutch as Gjallarhorn in Y1, or Last Word, or Thorn. I'm probably going to get some replies saying "BUT YOU RUN HEREAFTER AND YASMIN WHICH HAVE MUCH MORE AIM ASSIST." My argument to that is that they can't res snipe, the Hereafters scope is garbage, and my Yasmin has the most garbage perks for sniping.

1 ReplyEdited by Tekn0z: 12/21/2015 10:41:29 AMBump. The shotgun scrubs are the ones crying nerf. That dude who runs all the way across the map from you hopping like a bunny with an invective straight on. THAT's the moron who is calling for nerfs and we have a LOT of such idiots sadly.
-
Snipers are as good as they always were, but shotguns and pulse rifles, both things I took when I didn't want to snipe, have been nerfed.
-
Thankyou And if you were really super worried about quickscoping or drag shots then you would tune down aa. Less aa just calls for more hardscoping.

1 ReplyA headshot and is a headshot I can respect a good a sniper I can't respect some tool with a ridiculously high aim assited rifle.

1 ReplyEdited by Taiberious: 12/21/2015 6:45:57 AMSo a lot of people here are saying people need to quit crying and "adjust" but I feel personally I can't adjust to snipers quick scoping in cqc while they're taking several shots to the head and body with no flinch I can't adjust to a whole team scoping every corner of the map waiting for me to set foot oaround a corner and I can't adjust to the very high aim assist these snipers get. why would anyone need aim assist at that degree that's like training wheels for a sniper if you really are as good as you claim with a sniper and its my fault that I'm dying why do you need the aim assist I feel a small change should be made here I propose lower the aim assist lower the ads slightly and give me something that can counter the snipers. That's just my input let me hear what you have to say

Edited by Ryu Knight98: 12/21/2015 6:45:22 AMCaterpillar is OP! needs a nerf
-
A sniper is a shotgun from the other side of the map. A huge problem is unflinching. Maybe removing said perk, much like they removed shot package. Anyway #3daysleft

3 RepliesPeople complain because 1- they lack of experience or they're noob that can't stand losing 2- the player they're against are way better than them and can't stand it play the game enjoy and stop complaining people like those who complain (not you - the one who posted this) are ruining the game :3

2 RepliesPeople need to learn to flank....and learn to stay out of sniping lanes. Keep your head on a swivel. I don' think Snipers are a problem....I think people are just having trouble adjusting.
-
It's not obvious that you're biased towards Sniper Rifles or anything, OP.
-
The only thing they should change with snipers is the flinch. I shouldnt get headshotted if I landed 2 mida headshots.

10 RepliesEdited by Jykeous: 12/21/2015 2:35:44 PMPlease read the whole post before commenting, I think snipers need a nerf, but not with aim assist(although it could be turned down on some of the higher ones). The problem isn't the gun type, but how its used. I mean quickscopers, headshot in CQC and such. The change would go something like this: --Sniper Rifles now have a drastic loss to accuracy and stability while in the air and sprinting. --While walking Sniper Rifles will have less of a change loss to stability and accuracy, but it will still be noticeable. --Aiming down the sights and of a Sniper Rifle will take longer. --After aiming down sights the weapon's accuracy will grow over time. --Sniper Rifles can no longer get precision hits. (Just kidding) [b]EDITS[/b] --Switching to whipper from aiming down sights will take a large amount of time (like a few seconds maybe). --Taking damage while aiming down the sights will have increased flinch. --The unflinching perk will decrease flinch by 50%. Bungie would have to do the testing to determine the right numbers and see if this helps, but I think something like this would be a good idea.
-
It's not snipers as a whole people hate. It's one short l short sniper archetype, the LDR impact class. These were flawed in their initial implementation, but since Bungie dropped in the Felwinter's class off shotties at the same time, it was overlooked.
-
Huh what aim assist....what?
-
Just need to make the snipers have a little lower aim assist. There shouldnt be a single complaint there. If you complain about that then you are scared you wont be good anymore.
-
Op is tomato.
-
I enjoy both aspects, yes snipers in too are slightly overused. I love having a good shotgun duel, bouncing around like a retard to dodge their fire, BUT I also love a good sniper duel. The problem is people just can't adjust to different playing styles.
-
Shot guns and shotties are the same thing ...
-
1 ReplyPersonally, I find it very fun to have one on one Sniper Rifle duels in the Crucible. I don't get angry when I get my head blown the -blam!- off, because I blow other peoples' heads the -blam!- off. Honestly, I could really give two shits about the complainers, because Sniper Rifles are here to stay.

2 RepliesMy biggest problem with snipers is that I'll be shooting them and they'll still manage to snipe me consistently. And I understand the unflinching perk exists, but when I'm using MIDA (been using all through Y1 btw) which has high caliber bullets and is supposed to stagger enemies (does a great job in PvE), yet I'll still managed to get sniped in PvP. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm not asking to nerf snipers, people are gonna snipe and camp who cares. I'm more pissed about the high caliber bullets not staggering in PvP as good as I thought.
-
If they nerf Snipers, then the only thing left will be to nerf Scout Rifles. Then the nerf-cycle will be complete!
