I was wondering, Im not a riflemen. But love sniper class in many other games.


Would you guys be happy if they actually implemented Snipers, as they are in real life. So that you could one shot kill anyone foolish enough to stand still at any visible range, BUT you would be much less likely to hit a moving target based on range, You could not fire while moving, and you had to be prone to really shoot accurately, and anything close range would be impossibe to hit. Therefore, using stealth and surprise you could be much like real world snipers, and devestate a number of people, but also like real snipers, have to pull out before you were truely deteceted, unless you have proper backup.


I was just wondering, becuase I would really like to see substantial diffrences in the diffrent classes. Not just, my toy gun shoots your blue bar, or my gun shoots your green bar, or the my gun is actually a better melee weapon than a lightsaber.




What do I expect? A game that I paid $50 for and $15 a month to work.

No, because one hit kills would get us nerfed so fast your heads will spin, no matter how many overbalancing penalties we had, even if we died at the same time we one shotted someone, people would still complain. It won't happen even if a real sniper class would be a lot of fun, where not going to get it.

It sounds like a good idea but if you were given the choice between playing a grunt or the best of the best elite sniper what would you choose?


The balance issues that would be created are staggering.
