Snipers Need a BUFF

[Marco]

I'm speaking for all of the members in the community who love using snipers.

Snipers are extremely under powered and it kind of sucks.
I do understand that it was nerfed and is now effected by distance, however, many of the common maps that are played on are very short distance making snipers obsolete.

As a sniper user mainly,
It is extremely difficult to play with the style that I prefer. I remember that i loved using my donation sniper and now its not even worth picking up. Please reconsider on buffing the snipers in some sort of way because they are totally useless now. Back before the nerf, there wasnt many people that used the snipers to begin with, I feel that it wouldnt make too much of a difference now. I remember having amazing and very entertaining [SNO] matches.

Suggestions:
-Increasing Base Damage to 100?
- 2-3 Shot kill?
-Removing Distance effectiveness?

For Those Saying that they hate sniper users:
- Developers can add a NO SNIPER command [NoSn]
- Tag your rooms to [SGO] removing the use of snipers.

Hopefully snipers can return once again.
Thanks for reading.

Snipers are meant to be long range. I understand where you're coming from as a sniper myself, this nerf sucks.
But we have to deal with it because the majority of users aren't snipers. Majority said nerf, we nerfed. We buffed, people QQ'd and they got nerfed again.
I wouldn't mind a buff though, but it'd have to be one where both parties are happy - which is hard with GunZ players nowa' days.

By adding a [nosn] command both parties can be happy. Hosts could allow if they want to include the use of snipers or not.

Not trying to be the Negative Nancy of this thread but your proposal has a couple of downsides.

1.) Snipers will QQ that all rooms nowa days have the [NoSN] tag.
2.) We're not really trying to add roomtags anymore to bloat the game.
3.) Won't be fun if the main rooms that make snipers fun (e.g: tdm) have this tag mainly, with this tag you might as well remove snipers as a whole.

My opinion, someone could potentially show me the light e.e
I would like a buff though ;-;

At the end of the day, I feel that its better to have restrictions rather than a complete overall nerf.

snipers need a removal

[braazts]

snipers should be normal with a 1/3 clip

[Dave]

Very unlikely that we'll buff them.

Even after good suggestions? Its not fair to those that enjoy playing with snipers.

Sniper players will not be satisfied until snipers do nearly 1 hits.
