The true effects of the sniper cannon

Your every comment is utter bs I don't need more thanks.

 

You don't have any real facts to argue with. Don't come up with made up ideas that only you believe. See the scenario and then speak.

 

Yeah, that 7.5% damage nerf almost a year ago was DEVASTATING to sniper. You went from a 2.1k crit to a 2.0k crit. Sniper broken devs plz buff. [Gotta love sarcasm]

 

Yeah! We are done talking kid. Grow up!
@TheAntiSnipe isn't there enough sniper nerf threads already.

 

Nerf game duration to 1 min and buff spawn distance to 750units.
No ships will need nerf. No weapons will need nerf.

Then everyone can go to matchmaking thread number "Four billion +4" to complain how they lost -1 infamy with a draw.

If you think a weapon/ship is OP, buy it and use it.
If you don't have that OP weapon, blame RNG and don't call for a nerf.

I hate nerfs as F2P. Everytime there is something up with you people.

 

It’s not about specifying which boat is meant to play which weapons but simply the meta and experimentation. Why did I say experimentation- I’m an enforcer user and have tried out both sniper and blast, with talents altered accordingly in bhurt when I change from one to another, only to realize that relying in the crit RNG from sniper not doing justice as compared to the flare/blast output. Hence you see most enforcers option for blast more. This justifies the claim made by @RohitHebbar
Also, it sucks being crit by sniper from afar but I never see it as OP as that’s how the weapon is supposed to work, or else what value does it hold still? It makes me to simply up my game and be more aware of my positioning.

 

Yeah..i started to realize it myself. Will switch to blast after mk6 and decent big shield.

 

Stacking snipers is not the problem we talking about. Everyone is free to choose weapons they like. Sniper is too powerful itself for that low cooldown and 1 slot point. It is easiest weapon of the game and absurdly effective in all ranges and situations. High, mid or point blank it doesn't matter. There is no a really disadvantage of snipers. We saying if it is a long range weapon then it shouldn't be that powerful in closer range combats. We told your question's answer in an other thread. Why are you repeating us? Solution is sniper cannon should decrease crit chance for how close you are the enemy. If you in point blank, chance should be reduced to half of it's overall chance. That isn't the world of the end. You will keep take down speeder from other side of map.

 

Sniper has been nerfed previously in damage, so i think further damage nerf would be unnecessary.
But i do agree on the consistent heavy critics, tagged along with its ability to hit from very far.
Maybe its critical chance should be lowered. Or its critical damage multiplier reduced.
I've seen 99% sniper users use critical chance perks, a few with critical damage increase perks too.
Its the complete opposite for me, using all cannon damage perks, and my sniper tickles the unfriends most of the time. Rarely does a critic.

 

I've always wondered why the devs gave the sniper increase crit damage talents when it already had the highest crit chance of all cannons. If you don't use any of the sniper crit damage talents for a few battles, you would still realize that it is an extremely strong weapon.
Then, you should realize what all the people want to nerf about the sniper; just look at all those posts:

It's the insane [crit] damage people complain about for a 1 slot item.
So, my idea is to remove the 2 crit damage talents and it will be fine.

 

I used to... intensely dislike sniper crits halfing my poor speeder's health but now I've just gone used to it. To help myself survive longer against sniper crits and practically every other weapon in-game I use a big shield (yes you all must be like "what the you don't use one?!") and I found some good fixers to fleet with. I doubt the devs will do anything about it with such strong proposition and opposition opinions towards nerfing the sniper, so what I just do is to find other ways to counter, if not lessen the impact of it!

 

Not all sniper hit 1800....mine do 1000
Decrease in chance or crit damage will make it useless here. Please consider all tiers before suggesting nerf.
Well whatever I am gonna switch to Blast anyway. Nerf Sniper after a while lol.

 

Well as a enfo sniper is no problem for me. I stay behind the wave and come up only to hit.

 

Well, if you considered the range, the fact that it's a 1 slot weapon, and how easy it is to hit with a sniper with it's projectile speed, it's arc, and the new vertical aiming mechanism... Hitting someone with 1k is still kind of absurd.

 

I will say it is absurd when u get hit for a 1000 every time. But it doesn't , does it. It's purely luck to get critted in the first place. So, I think u didn't understand what @DragonLegend tried to say

It really hurts if u remove the crit damage in the talent tree. Because, occasionally we will be getting a crit and if it does less damage, then no one's gonna use sniper.

 

For the sniper population of the game will go from 50% to 0%, you would have to nerf sniper damage by like 50%.

 

You really have to make a new thread about sniper every two days?
Aren't there enough threads about it already?
@TheAntiSnipe please close this duplicate thread.

 

That's not a good point. It's not luck is statistic
PS: I don't think sniper is OP

 

Yeah...its not like i m hitting everytime 1000.
My crit is 35%.
And its projectile speed is necessary for long range.
