[b]EDIT: [i]flinch isn't even as bad as we all thought it was going to be, sniping is still just as easy, it's a sad sad day when an auto with high caliber rounds can't cause enough flinch to make a sniper rifle inaccurate [/i][/b] [u]stay frosty out there[/u]
it's all over the place.. Everyone is upset about the change to snipers (most notably, the added flinch)
Personally, I love the change. It creates a much bigger skill gap. We used to get scared coming around a corner and some asshole is just crouched hardscoping with a glare (probably been there for 2 mintues). Now? We get excited because our primary will keep them at bay.. now if they happen to get a headshot, it was a lucky mishap (or they are really good) can't get mad at that..
Being honest. The added flinch was much needed. Making it very hard to hit previously easy shots.
I just find it funny that a lot of people are contemplating quiting sniping or destiny altogether because the easy sniping "fun" factor is gone.. [b]perfect exapmle of all the sheep that play this game and need the "Meta" to compete[/b]
Thoughts? Opinions?
Edit: a lot of people didn't like the damage nerf. But it makes sense. Only the highest impact snipers (if any) should be able to one shot someone out of a super.

36 RespuestasEditado por Dooodley: 9/11/2016 5:10:56 PM1. I've never expereinced this big snipe problem people refer too. Then again, the vast majority of you seem to be running around with a shotgun so perhaps that's the problem, you get salty when you can't bum rush a person in a straight line from 200 ft. Usually in the middle of that one sniper lane too. It's a user error. 2. Not being able to OHK people in super is stupid. It's just further pushing the balance toward gimmicky abilities and CQB and away from actual weapon use. 3. From what I've seen on twitch it's still fully possible to still land headshots, quite consistently, while being blasted by a primary. Hence, their tweak did very little to correct this so called issue - which wasnt much of an issue to begin with. Lastly, I don't know what kind of people you are playing - perhaps it's a low bracket issue - but in the 2.0 k/d range I probably get shotgunned 20 times for every time I'm sniped. Then again, could just be that in the event that I should see three red lights in the end of a lane - which in itself is rare - I'm not just throwing myself out there.

Well we now know they [b]can[/b] separate weapon adjustments between AI and real life combatants, so they should've left the damage alone for PvE.

1 RespuestaI agree with you %100. Sniping was way too easy. Even some of the hardcore streamers who snipe agree with this change. I've never played a game where sniping was this easy. Good change Bungie. Now let's see who the really good snipers are.

Editado por Miss Bombshell: 9/12/2016 2:54:14 PMprobably been there for 2 minutes lol so true I don't get how people call themselves good at an fps shooter when all they do is sit far back using their "aim assist hidden hand shortgaze snipers" and if they are sweaty try hards they have a last word ready which needs a nerf bungie come on... lol just because they have 2k elo and 2.0 kds with hidden hand snipers and last words does not necessarily all of a sudden make them good at shooters lol... aim assist hidden hand hot swap biggest joke to fps shooters I have ever seen and I grew up playing counter-strike 1.6.

1 RespuestaSniping isnt a crutch lol. Its always taken more skill to be good with than running up to someone and shotgunning them.
-
I love it when they nerf something because I don't get affected by it, I love it... Just sitting on the sidelines with my one and only loadout and watching everybody bitch on how they destroyed sniping
-
4 RespuestasI use NLB, doesn't bother me in the slightest. Used a longbow yesterday and didn't notice a difference. Snipers should of taken a bigger nerf.
-
No more qs or drag scope wallbangs and every single person is freakin out ......chill man......first of all i think new snipers coming soon (high impact)...second pulling down a double headshot kill if 2 different enemy is shooting at you is a crutch.....i did plenty of times and it was nasty as -blam!-....so get over it i think

5 RespuestasSnipers are fine use a primary.
-
I agree on the problems that it will cause in Trails , but you telling me that you didnt save your high impact effireets speer? ;) . I will never delete that baby.
-
I snipe occasionally. I'll still pull out a good snipz to get the crispy snipz.
-
5 RespuestasName one year two sniper that isn't an exotic in that achetype
-
This guy gets it
-
I think it was great and much needed also. Sniping was out of hand.
-
Yeah sniping damn hard now pls don't ever snip again hehe.
-
46 RespuestasFlinch thing was fine, but not being able to dome a super was uncalled for.
-
9 RespuestasEh I don't have a problem with the flinch increase. I do however have a problem with not being able to snipe supers anymore. My biggest issue is besides black spindle, there are no other year 2 snipers that can do this. Correct me if I'm wrong. Hoping rise of iron will be adding some legendary high impact snipers...

There's nothing you can do to win this fight. I do agree with you that the flinching needed to be looked at, but the damage nerf was uncalled for
-
I'm glad there's going to be less sniping montages I don't want to see because they're all the same. Albeit that one guy using it like a shotgun
-
everyone just needs to relax a bit lol good players will adapt, bad players will carry on bitching. Just a shame yet another PvP focused nerf is translating across into PvE (ie mid-high impact damage reduction) I just hope that there will be some decent high impact legendary snipers available come RoI, thats all there needs to be imo
-
Do you even understand what the definition of a crutch is? Sniping has never and will never be a crutch as a one shot kill does take precision to do it. Stop purposely trying to be a douche.
-
agreed completely. was playing last night on some mayhem clash and i felt like it was easier sniping now a days than when before it was patched.
-
For me sniping is still the same you just have to leave sooner before you die

82 RespuestasMost destiny you tubers suck. For real they are either arrogant, incompetent, stupid or liars. All of them. Name one I'll tell you why they suck
-
I called for flinch for a while, and I recieved just that. I don't really agree with the damage nerfs and whatnot, and I think that the adjustments tend to favor even more of a perk related grind. I was an average sniper on a good day, so I can't speak for everyone else, I just know it wasn't bring used as a sniper should be.
-
The damage nerf seemed unnecessary to me. I think the flinch addition is a smart move, and I think most people agree with that. I think most people are upset by the damage nerf because it was unnecessary. It isn't very frequently that I get sniped out of a super anyway.
