    I am 100% in the "leave my sniper alone" camp.

    Sniper cannon is broken, so beyond OP I've given up even debating it. 70% of the high level players use it, so pointing it out you are already in the minority. What's frustrating is this was a known issue for so long and the devs continue nerfing other things practically useless while leaving sniper alone making the entire game more unbalanced with every update. I wish they would actually look at the data when balancing items instead of ham fisted nerfs based on their emotion.

    Yes, let's talk about that - in a separate thread, please ;)

    Sounds like we need a video of you blowing people out from across the map with 2000+ damage crits. ;)

    Believe me, I'm pushing for more open access to the statistics so that things like the "Meta Snapshot" threads can be made more frequent and more interactive. Crowd-sourcing the analytics will help a lot.

    And there's Sniper users in here who are in favor of a nerf - yes, there's some who don't want it touched, but others aren't wholly opposed to a minor adjustment.

    Woah! Delete his post just because a shooter shouldnt survive?
    You may not agree with him but everyone deserves an opinion right?
    Also the speeder should have the upper hand but not to an extent the shooter is completely useless, right?
    As for staying on topic, I am in the leave it or minor adjustment camp, it doesnt need any major changes IMO.

    Yeah? I have a video showing me wasting YSL and an Enforcer who did nothing but stun and frost me over and over again. I would just like resistance to be buffed more than it is. It's a little ridiculous.

    I survived that match purely on skill and Benn's awesome fixer healing. He stuck by me as long as he could. The sign of a quality fixer.

    Don't talk s**t. Just like he's allowed to have a voice, so i am. What affects him in Ace 3 is not the same that affects us up in Nightmare. I can only voice my opinion on what is relevant to my experience. Or do I not get a voice?

    So don't change it below a certain level. And while we're at it, you guys are certainly talking a lot about a subject that's not "on-topic". Hypocrite much?

    Back on topic... leave sniper alone. We just got nerfed 2 or 3 updates ago. If you don't like getting hit by them, then duck.

    Knock yourself out. My posts will have to be deleted by a moderator. If a topic goes off just a little, you cry to have comments deleted. Ridiculous. The subject was nerfing a weapon. Conversations are organic. You forum kiddies just don't get that. If i started talking about unicorns and rainbows then I could see why you might whine about it.

    Well, I'm gonna go to sleep in a few minutes anyway, so I decided not to start any arguments before sleeping;). AM, good luck with whatever issue you're gonna debate, I'm not gonna be in on it sadly.

    We need a thread on subject of

    1) Guild quest improvents
    2) Fixer mk6 buff (Big shield)
    3) Enfo Buff (Still pissed with flare talent clash since the update has left that class with only usable combo, Flare+Double blast)
    4) Tri torp buff
    5) Std mortar buff
    6) Tesla shield Buff [Rare scaling UP!]
    7) Frost rescaling to a usbale state
    8) Defender mk5-mK4 buff



    These things have been discussed in 1000 threads,Atleast a no! (if no improments are to be done)Would be good.But Sniper got instant attention! Why?

    Now adding to the topic as a sniper user,Dont to the FROST MISHAP again please!!
    A Weapon can be nerfed Twice If necessary.

    P S-- I m not against nerf,But there many things to be improved relative to The one nerf

    In regards to sniper. Devs. Take none of the complaints as serious. The majority of oosters complaining about sniper was from users upset about frost nerf. They banded together to pick a random weapon sniper and then complain over and over.
    Does mob rule really have to be the battle bay way?
    If sniper is nerfed it will be completely unusable in 4k matches. It already doesnt break tesla shields. Ie. Useless unless shields are down.

    Somethinf else to consider devs. Any nerfing of critical chance must be met with a boost in overall damage.
    U cant affect the possibility of greater damage by limiting it and then leave sniper below 741 damage epic V maxed. The damage woupd have to raise to 1k. If u reduce any critical chance.
    Again sniper is more of an issue for lower levep boats. But realitiy in 4k land. Sniper isnt op. Its just a weapon. So thesr complainers no not what they ask. They are asking to nerf a weapon that isnt op. Its just an annoyance for 2k level players. But u are also talking about a player group that primarily plays mortars and sniper. Where is the mortar nerf thread? Also boats in mk2 thru 4 have lower health. So a sniepr critical seems to hurt more. But reality. Players lack map awarenss. There are spots u can travel any map to avoid mortars. Same with snipers.
    Please dont nerf sniper. Look ay history of thread creators and see they would rather nerf things instead of improve.

    Buff sniper damage output if u must change any critical %. Buff.

    Lastly any talk of reducing sniper efficiency or chance rate up close is ridiculous. If u are 10 feet from a real rifle. That rifle aint missing. And u the item. Would be dead. 1 shot. If anything sniper critical rate should be 100 percent if u are closer. 1 shot dead.
