As most of you already know, snipers are currently the strongest secondary weapon in the crucible. According to Destiny Trials Report, 77.11% of the total special weapon kills during Trials of Osiris last week were sniper kills. That's triple shotguns, sidearms and fusion rifles combined. I am not here to bitch about aim assist (I actually understand how it works) or to invent new mechanics such as scope sway. Here are a few suggestions which I feel would help to bring snipers in line with the other special weapons:
1. Increase the recoil on snipers for all stability values. This would make landing those disgusting double taps a bit more difficult.
2. Slower reload speeds for all reload stat values. This would force snipers to take cover when reloading and therefore prevent them from holding down a line of sight if they miss a few shots.
3. Slower ADS speed for all snipers.This would make performing mlg quickscopes much more difficult.
4. Slower movement speed when scoped in. This would make it harder to strafe and avoid enemy fire when lining up your shot.
5. Reduced body shot damage for all impact values. This would encourage people to aim for the head and not just body shot and tap with last word or mida.
6. Slower readying speeds for all snipers. This would make it more difficult to pull out your sniper and get a lucky quickscope if you empty the mag of your primary weapon.
I have not provided any detailed numbers for these suggestions as I do not know how much the stats would need to be changed in order to achieve balance. I do not want snipers overnerfed and broken. These changes should be applied in pvp only, snipers in pve should be unaffected.

And now shotguns will be an issue its just fine how it is now and you can just lol at snipers where they are most relevant look at all game modes
-
Just more reason why snipers will get a nerf
-
How bout we just buff everything back to their former glory
-
Or just buff shotguns and fusions(why the hell did bungie decide to nerf fusions again?).

Bearbeitet von Sam: 2/17/2016 6:39:46 PMIt's a good idea. But I'm gonna throw my opinion in.... I don't use snipers - I'm shockingly bad with them (give me a sidearm anyday). I genuinly think that it takes a bit of skill to use a sniper. Aim assist doesn't play as bigger role as a lot of people think. Saying that! The only thing I'd suggest is reducing the time for the second shot. Essentially making it that it's either a head shot, or you just cause serious damage. It sucks being killed with 2 consecutive body shots. It doesn't take a lot of effort and it makes for easy camping. Reducing the second shot by about half a second would balance snipers without hurting pve too much.

3 AntwortenNone of these things will stop people from using them. It's a one hit kill weapon. As long as there's ammo in the magazines they're going to be used. Who the hell cares if trials is a snipe fest. Get good at sniping or don't play it. The same people complaining about dying to snipers will just die to the next best thing when they nerf snipers. Shut up and use what's good until Bungie learns how to balance the game. This is literally a byproduct of everyone complaining about shotguns year 1. Has Bungie ever nerfed anything gently? No they slaughtered shotguns just like everyone wanted and next on the chopping block is mida multi tool and friggen sniper rifles. 2 weapon archetypes virtually untouched the last 18 months. Not hey lets remove the agility nerfs to shotguns so they can actually close distance. The answer is always nerf the next best thing. In case you haven't noticed it doesn't -blam!-ing work.

1 AntwortenHow about make it real slow to switch guns after coming from sniper?

They should make sniper actually sniper and not primaries. If that's the only weapon you use in trials and I don't see a primary....chances are you most likely rely on a one shot hit crutch. I have had instances were me and my friends would rush a group of snipers and they had Mida or last word or doctrine. They all had terrible aim and we could kill them easily. Best tip is to rush snipers because 90% chance they don't know how to use a primary in PvP.

The sniper nerf is over due, or primary buff, bungie will be doing one of these. People defending snipers are doing so because that's all they use. Remove short zoom scopes. Longe range guns with short zoom scopes, how does that work! High impact snipers need a slower rate of fire and more recoil. Low impact snipers should be a 3 body shot kill. In bungies own words. 'If everyone is using the same guns something is wrong'! Well they are so clearly there is. Snipers may not of changed since launch but most other guns are now shit so snipers either need a nerf or most primaries need a buff.

1 AntwortenMight as well nerf every other weapon type

13 AntwortenBearbeitet von Ve7n00m: 2/17/2016 11:39:00 AMThe only thing Snipers need is aim assist taken away, Aim assist is stupid especially when it can reach into the 70's! If I get sniped by an Ambush scoped Efrideet's Spear i know the dude's got skill. If I get sniped by a Short Gazed 1000 Yard Stare with Hidden hand (even without Hidden hand) I know the dude's a try hard scrub!

Just need to buff up shotties again, and the beloved Plan C, gosh that thing is a beauty

10 AntwortenSnipers have never been changed. They've always stayed the same. They will always stay this way. There's nothing wrong with them. Just avoid them. It's a SNIPER any PVP game has always been a 1 to 2 shot kill. It's not going anywhere.
-
1 AntwortenYep snipers need a good ass kicking imo. I love snipers but I don't think they are playing as intended right now
-
Number 1 would be really punishing towards PvE players though.

Add sway like most other FPS games and you have to hold your breath to steady the scope, I agree with the stability so follow up shots are not as quick.
