No one and I mean [i]no one[/i] feels sorry for you and the piddly little nerfs you're getting.
Seriously, 3 scopes slightly lengthened and 2 extra frames of zoom? Add in that they lowered revive shields and you all got a net buff.
Shotguns, ARs, Pulse Rifles, Hand Cannons, Fusion Rifles... All nerfed to where all but single archetypes were complete garbage.
Fusions went from awesome, to decent, to holy -blam!- I have to aim a foot left of their knees to hit a body shot (and had their range halved). Then when everyone stopped using them, they added even more muzzle kick.
So I'm sorry, but unless you're suddenly being required to actually aim and time shots... and from the tester in the video pretty much exclusively using a sniper for CQC, I'm guessing that isn't the case... I think you'll be fine.
[b]Edit: a large number of comments missed that this post was in response to the pvp complaints about them being ruined because they wouldn't be effective in CQC.
If anyone is interested, we have a Bnet community podcast called the #destinytruthcast that we bring forum posters on as guests to discuss in-game issues like this. The newest episode covers this last week on the forums and the third April Update live stream. If you don't like streaming, episodes are downloadable if you're on WiFi.
Here's the link if anyone is interested[/b]

1 AntwortenNo one is complaining about the extra frames though...... People are complaining about the nerf of special ammo, which will affect PVE pretty badly...... No offence but I think you've missed the point somewhat.....

2 AntwortenIt's either being sniped in the head from a distance that annoys people or being slide shotgunned. People always find some fault with Destiny, never seem to be satisfied. Remember when you would unload on someone with a Primary and they stand tall by one blasting you with a Fusion Rifle? That's a thing of the past.

It really isn't bad at all. After the Update I'll still trash on Scrubs with a Sniper.

14 AntwortenBearbeitet von So 0mnipotent: 4/10/2016 7:12:15 PMWhat's funny is that most dont realize that what bungie is doing is blatantly bigger than just "nerfing snipers". It was explicitly stated that snipers are in fact balanced, and the only reason that they're being nerfed is because of their [b]popularity[/b] in crucible. Seems like a viable option to nerf something right? Even though it's balanced? Nah, it's actually pretty sh*tty. Bungie is ignorantly trying to DICTATE how the player base of destiny plays the game. And this isn't the first time that this has happened either. Bungie does dumb little things to control how people choose to play the game. You bought the game. Paid with your money. And bungie periodically steps in every once in a while to make silly little changes to control how YOU play. That's pretty ridiculous. There needs to be an aspect of the game where bungie seriously just takes care of the things that are [u]actually[/u] OP or game-breaking, and then just let's the rest of the game be, and allows the players to play as they wish.

3 AntwortenSounds like this salty guardian took one too many one shots to the head, lol,

12 AntwortenNot the best sniper admittedly but I switched from fusions because I got sick of getting sniped so I started doing it back most scopes that I've tried make my eyes twitch(personal issue with one "good" eye and one "bad" eye) sounds like I might be wrong but my defiance of yasmin will zoom a little closer now? Its the only scope I can use effectively because it doesn't overly zoom and the borders transparent to watch my sides or when the target jumps out of screen I can still follow smoothly...anyway just my random thoughts. But is my yasmin going to zoom slightly more or just the more popular snipers lol

1 AntwortenI'm angry that they got nerfed in pve all thanks to pvp idiots who whine about stuff

Dear god do you want to tear your knuckles down And succ yourself Dear god can you climb off that tree Meat into the shape of a 'T' Dear god the paper says you were the King In the black limousine Dear Deej and all the King's men Can't succ your head together again Before the bullets Before the flies Before the Ninjas take out my eyes The only succing are you dolls that I made But you are plastic and so are your brains Dear god the succ is as blue As a gunshot wound Dear god if you were alive You know we'd succ you Before the bullets Before the flies Before the ninjas take out my eyes The only succing are you dolls that I made But you are plastic and so are your brains

1 AntwortenThe scope changes are justified. Snipers aren't scout rifles sorry not sorry. The ammo changes will only hurt pve players and that's really dumb for things like raids. Also the Thesan FR4 roll this week with braced frame and hot swap and underdog is incredible and will only get better with the accuracy buff. Sadly it's the only good fusion rifle I've played with since plan c.

It's probably like aiming a shotgun, which most of us uses already; the differences are next to none.
-
I'm a sniper. I think snipers deserved a nerf. Hate me
-
2 AntwortenWell ya sniper era is over. What's next era? Wait a week to see the forums and YouTubers say/complain about another weapon then pick that up.

1 AntwortenI use Tacsys scope anyway so that doesn't affect me, ammo count will piss me off, and I almost have full stability so I can live with that change. I don't have snapshot on my sniper, and I don't run round quick scoping anyway, so the nerf isn't too bad for me.
-
I destroy longviews and shortgazes with tacsys... Thats the reason I was so excited when I saw the nerfs. It only benefits my snipe game

2 AntwortenMe and my NLB and sitting back watching the other snipers cry. 😎
