Dear Snipers: Thank You
Thank you for making this game even more boring. Thank you for showing us that year 2 PVP is actually worse than year 1.
Back in the day Suros Regime and Vex Mythoclast would freak you out but at least you could do something with Shadow Price. Then shotguns and hand cannons came along. It was quick paced and fun. Now? Just people playing far away with snipers and scouts competing on who is the best at hide and seek.
I understand this is what most PVP streamers play (cant believe people actually spend time watching others play video games and even give them money for it but w/e). But really, you have shifted this game to one that is not dynamic at all. There is no relevant nor entertaining PVE content so we have to rely in constant, long and boring PVP events.
I have my vault full of exotic weapons that can easily be countered by any Hawkshaw or any idiotic fast-paced purple weapon in the meta. Whats the point of giving us new exotics if they are going to sit in the vault? Decoration? Epeen?
I don't mind if this game becomes a primarily PVP game. I really don't. Just let the community know so I can decide not to pursue a DLC or Destiny 2.
Without anything else to say,
A player since Beta.

1 ReplyHoW had the shittiest meta ever. Yeah it was "fast paced" but if you really look back at Thorn, Fellwinter, bolt grenades, and blink fondly I think you might have faulty memory. smh what made that meta so bad was if you tried to step out of it you immediately got crushed by it. There was no variation whatsoever and you were discouraged from using any load out that wasn't the very best. Yeah today is much slower and that kinda sucks but at least I can actually use every kind of weapon to success barring certain archetypes (rip low RoF autos).

Edited by ZEN: 7/25/2016 12:38:24 AMI get we all have our bad habits and vices, but i play exclusively lord of wolves and eat people alive no matter the loadout. I'm not sure about this reign of terror these snipers have
-
Playing universal remote with a sniper is pretty fun. I tried it for the first time yesterday and had a blast
-
The way Bungie handles PVE is also linked with the way they handle PVP. It's no coincidence that they can't get PVE content out in any meaningful frequency and can't get their online game actually working from a networking perspective. Their underlying tools aren't good enough.

1 ReplyBring back vanilla destiny PvP! Except for the mythocast... Even for a day! I just want my SUROS Regime to be relevant in PvP once again. Please Bungie! I will erect a monument in your name if you give me one day I'll be happy. But nope. It is forever destined to be shit. Just because a short stint at the top. Bungie clearly shows favoritism towards handcannons though. TLW and Thorn were barely nerfed. Still relevant. Not the steaming pile of garbage that is auto rifles. /rant.

4 RepliesNice conspiracy theory. Isn't that the shotgun that everyone uses? That sounds pretty boring, too.
-
Everytime I go into Trials I always get my team ates to play aggressive but smart and it always surprises the shit out of people. Get into a snipers face and they freak out, very little people can pull off a close range snipe.
-
Sniping has taken the fun out of IB and Crucible lots of time legitimate ie stick you head out in known sniper alleys but now starting to see snipers been able to use them like long range shotties on the run Flinch and wobble needs to be upped on the sniper. I have a good range of scout rifles and none work to counter them you see the numbers when you hit them but nothing really stops them placing the one shot kill Bungie should share their stats on the latest IB so we can see what the reality is rather than what we think is happening, its too easy to be prejudiced after been wacked in the same wary.
-
1 ReplyAgreed. The whole pvp player base is so -blam!-ing sweaty its ridiculous. And the fact that a goddamn sniper can take 3 head shots from a medium impact scout and still somehow land a -blam!-ing one hit kill headshot on the scout user shows how ridiculous and broken sniping is in this game
-
Bump my dude exactly right SLOW ASF game right now
-
20 RepliesCrucible has actually been fun for the first time in months. I've been killed by snipers, shotguns, hand cannons, scouts, autos, fusion rifles, pulse rifles, every heavy and every variety of super. I switch up between autos, scout, pulse rifles and even a side arm and it feels GOOD. Why on earth would you want to go back to the party crasher/ last word days? Talk about boring...

1 ReplyIf it wasn't snipers it would b something else.

The solution: •Remove the Special/Heavy ammo nerf (for PvE purposes. Thanks Crucibabies) (Except the extra mag for MGs and 4 Rockets for Truth. With BTRD, I could litterally have heavy until the game ended) •Special ammo spawns only two times per game •The number of special crates per map needs to be reduced from 8-10 to 2-3 •The perk "Rescue Mag" no longer works for Special weapons in Crucible, and is temporarily replaced by Underdog (For Fusions and Snipers (can Snipers even have that perk?)) or Life Support (For Shotguns) (It still works for Primaries)
-
Can't blame the players if there's so much special ammo around that you don't have to use a primary. Why wouldn't you use it.
-
Edited by Cayde: 7/24/2016 8:32:36 PMEveryone: we need to nerf shotguns and snipers, because it's ruining the community and PvP in Destiny. Bungie: let's reduce the amount of special ammo and do nothing with snipers and shotguns, affecting every other weapon as well; we don't want to lose our sweaty try-hard streamer minority in Destiny.
-
The problem never was and never will be shotguns and/or snipers. It has been the amount of special ammo in crucible from the start. Even with the "special ammo nerf" Bungie implemented, people still run around using nothing nothing but a ohk special weapon throughout the entire match. Until it is made so that shots with a special weapon actually matter, people will continue to complain about shotguns and snipers because of those who never touch a primary.
-
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP BITCHING ABOUT SNIPERS. I went flawless on Widows Court without ever having to use a sniper. Every damn team we played had snipers. Snipers are a problem but they CAN be countered, so technically, they're not op. Tip for people, If you know a snipers position, and you know the line of sight (sniper lane) from which he is aiming at you from, then slide into it, jump into it. Be as agile and quick as you can. Chances are they wont hit you.

Love this sarcastic post, I hope Bungie reads this and reflects their idiotic mistakes

1 ReplyEdited by MVASNOOPY: 7/24/2016 7:15:04 PMYeah I hate it. This was literally the reason why I was against the shotgun nerf. Not because I was a shotguner, but because I knew EVRYONE would switch to a sniper and make the game so campy. I've been sniping since the end of HoW, and I had no idea how powerful snipers were until I started. Snipers have literally no sway, and have a shitload of aim assist. And then a perk which gives it even more aim assist, and then a damn scope that gives it even more! That doesn't go well with a laggy ass game.
-
I prefer this longe-mid range combat as oppose to the blink/shotgun combo that was so prevalent so many months ago. That bothered me to no end. With people using scouts and snipers, at least they have to be accurate to get the headshot. It takes more concentration for a sniper than a shotgun rusher.
-
Get a sniper rifle practice with it use it your welcome. My job here is done 😎
-
24 RepliesAll you people do is cry and moan.... Good players will still beat you no matter what they use. Guess what will happen if they nerf snipers to the ground? Good players will adapt and then you will have something new to cry about, whether it be shotguns/fusion rifles or anything. Give it a rest.
-
HEY. IK THAT BUNGIE EMPLOYEES R MENTALLY ILL BUT IF THEY COULD COMPREHEND ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT WE WANT THE OLD CRUCUBLE BACK WE WOULD BE GOOD

Edited by GigaMode: 7/24/2016 3:48:55 PMThis guy gets it. My favorite part he mentioned was about purple loot outclassing yellows. Bungie, here's a tip for Destiny 2. Take these amazing purple guns and make them the yellows. Add in a unique exotic trait and boom, now you have meaningful exotics again. Don't ever let purples beat yellows, it makes 0 sense whatsoever. I mean, unless we're supposed to assume that gear with a 'one at a time equipped' restriction isn't meant to be amazing? You know, to justify the restriction? lol. You give us exotics with really cool and rule-breaking traits, like Plan C for example. Your first shot fires instantly, that's awesome. Too bad the rest of the gun after that first shot fails compared to my currently equipped (and vendor machine purchased) purple, The Vacancy. We are often firing more than one shot at a time... Why do you hate your own exotics so much? You put them in the game so...the ball's in your court as to what to do with making them appealing...
