Why make a weak ship weaker? (Sniper's OS)

[ridoi]

One pilot did effect a so big thing, when it was a so bad thing, why can't a pilot effect something when it's a good thing.

For some few days ago Sniper-King did start a topic about overpowered OS, seem it got weaker now at pvp, you can easy flee from it. yeah sniper can crush ships, any ship, but still it is hard, u can have a 50 50 chance when tank vs storm, but same does not count for the poor sniper.

I don't blame Sniper-King anymore, he is one of these that made the game change, one of them that did change the sniper.

He might moaning cus he got crushed by a sniper once, I think that is childish, it's my opinion.

I would request that SS could change the sniper back, maybe to it's 1.0 version or 2.0, but I am ok with it's 3.0 version, but the new 4.0 is bad...

Please change it back, no point to make a weak ship weaker.

I couldn't agree more.

One person pitches a fit cause they got podded, and a ship gets NERFED to crap.
Meanwhile, the whole gaming community has been going nuts over the cryo issue and the new loot system without any sort of notice being taken.

The ships were all fine. They all had their good and bad points.
Snipers were good, they had great fire power but weaker armor than a storm.
Storms have a near perfect mix of firepower and armor.
Tanks are weak firepower, but loaded with shields and armor.
Shocks were weak in both armor and firepower, but like the engineer were supposed to be force multipliers for the assault ships.

Go back to the Sniper 1.0
It was fine the way it was.

If the OS drop 'n pop was the issue, than fix THAT, but quit nerfing a popular ship because we've learned how to get the most out of them.

shock isn't a force multipier.

There was a cycle of kill in PG

Shock->Storm->Tank->Shock

Those were balanced, except now you need to include 2 new classes into it, but where? And thats where complains come from.

Now we have a High Damage - Low Health ship = Sniper and All-Rounder Defender.

easy to blame players who post on forums for the coincidences tht something was changed but unless u have real info tht this is a fact false accusations are silly.
i doubt splitscreen would bow their ears to any suggestion made b it good or bad, especially with such speeds.

I have no clue why they messed up the sniper.

But, as a sniper pilot, i hardly go to Hyve anymore. It is so weakly armoured that u get shot about 3 times before u even reach the spot u need to be for doing the mission. Doing a story mission alone? Forget it, u almost always need help.

It's useless on Hyve.

The shipprices, so ridiculously high that buying another ship takes weeks. Unless you are playing daily and grinding like forever.

This is becoming the most frustrating mmog i ever seen. It looks good, but the further u get the more disencouraging it gets.

Yippie, another system soon, another frustrating long time flying in a ridiculously weakship from draconis before u can buy a ship that will not even be strong enough to leave landingzone on the next planet. And then at a stupid price probably.

Devs are doing a great Job in making a game for people with endless time to their disposal. And 90% that get more and more frustrated.

How come their is a Hall of fame with 5900 players listed. Only 1250 have any warscore and only 380 of those players have warscore of more then 10.000. Less then 10 percent plays enough to get some kind of warscore. yea nice.

Make the ships weaker, make it harder and we will see these numbers go down further.

Thanks again for the most useless ship in the fleet on hive. For 480.000 cry. > The great sniper.

it's a stupid thing to aim for balancing ships in pvp and pve. sniper should have huge firepower, it SHOULD have devastating sniper blaster shot when attack charge (which doesnt work ever since sol due to "balancing") is turned on. of course it doesnt have any stronger attacks same as with defender's attack field turret - it makes no difference in defender's attacks yet these 2 items which SHOULD work cost 90 and 83k respectively.

why bothering with buffs which dont work? if the SS doesnt know how to "fix" this bug (which isnt a bug actually, SS made rendered it useless ever since atk charge gave 200% to SB shot to complainers happy) then they should give new items as replacements - cloak for sniper, to make it transparent as assassin giving it first strike ability and attack turret for defender which will shoot blaster fire same as atk droid.

for these reasons, i.e. SS's fiddling with these 2 ships i only trust storm class.

I remember when some few shock pilots got podded by a sniper (mostly by me ) yes most shock pilots, complained about why os did hit 2 times in a row, I remember the devs saying the x2 hit was no bug at all, later on we found out they said it was a "bug". I all was wonder something, why make a ship weaker, why not keep it strong and use it instead ^^?, ppl use sense able logic ^^

i acctully find it quite funny im in a sol ship on gazica yes hard and abit of hell but i enjoy it like crazy me and my clan mates also in sol snipers 2-3 of us can take a gazica harv but going onto the snipers
the OS isnt weaker its the wait ... sol = 1.5 secs draco= 2-3 secs
my point is if u play ur cards right and develop new ways its much better than the devs thinking oh there moaning again lets change the subject and lower anouther ship maybe lets just have fun

and defcon for hive m8 dont solo it no fun lol get in a sq m8 and go decimate hive its loads more fun me, sg, drak went on gaz sol snipers with gaz bps and we just killed anythink we seen come on guys the games not suppossed to be easy lol also i hear hives hell i say bring it on

 

[ridoi]

I solo gazica level 66 harvs with sol sniper once ), yes droid trick , but in some few another acces i used stunner, tank, engi, storm, any ship ;P to kill lvl 66 harv, call me crazy , but being epic is what we love, I still think if sniper would turn to it's original stats, more problems would come ^^.
