Hello,
Going straight on, it's a suggestion for a buff/tweak in the snipers.
The actual stats:
LEVEL | CLIP | DAMAGE | DELAY
0 - - -- 3x4 - - 55 - - - 1400
20 - - - 3x4 - - 60 - - - 1400
30 - - - 3x4 - - 65 - - - 1300
40 - - - 3x4 - - 70 - - - 1300
50 - - - 10x3 - - 75 - - 1200
75 - - - 3x10 - - 100 - - 1000
85 - - - 20x5 - - 35 - - - 300
As we can see, it takes up to 3 hit from the most powerfull sniper(Lvl 75) (can take 4 if full donor) to kill one person. Snipers are NOT the easyest weapon to use, they are slower then most and you cant do advanced moves such as late dash with them. So we end up having a slow rs (due to recoil), low damage, hard to aim (compared to shotgun or revolvers), slow movements (due to scope) and restrained visibility.
There is currently NO advantage to be using a sniper.
What i would suggest is a boost in damage, and possibly in delay and/or movement speed. Snipers aren't supposed to be spammed like crazy, but to be one shot that hurts like a punch in the nuts. We can see how weak they are right now just by looking at how many players actually use snipers(not just once in a lifetime).
This is what i would suggest, and this is just a first up, it can be modified easily. (basicly makes it an average of 2 to 3 hits to kill a regular user, and about 3 to kill a donor).
LEVEL | CLIP | DAMAGE | DELAY| MS-REDUCTION
0 - - -- 3x4 - - 60 - - - 2500 - - 95%
20 - - - 3x4 - - 80 - - - 2500 - - 90%
30 - - - 3x5 - - 100 - - 2400 - - 90%
40 - - - 3x5 - - 120 - - 2300 - - 85%
50 - - - 3x6 - - 140 - - 2000 - - 80%
75 - - - 3x6 - - 160 - - 2000 - - 80%
85 - - - 20x5 - - 35 - - 300 - - 10% ( just keep the troll sniper )
99/?? - 1x66 - 666 - 13666 - 100% (The devil sniper (donor?))
Movement speed reduction is just a suggestion, since the principle of sniping isn't to run around (you can always swap to sword, but for the second or so were you take your gun out...). With or without movement speed reduction, i think this would be a great improvement for the server (more variety), for players (more fun) and for fun (more possibilities).
Hope to see the snipers become a real part of the game ,
