My ping ~120, but before patch i was a good sniper, after update i can't kill enybody. Stupid developers nerfed Sharpshooter so much, and now, with new speed, snipers extreamly sucks. With 65 dps you cant kill even medik, its just impossible.
So, make servers for Russian, or give snipers 180+ dps.

Oh, so SS is no longer easy mode_ Good to hear. I have no sympathy for snipers.

And seriously_ 180+ dps_ lol

Hawken community at its best, as I could see.
And yes, new update is nay for snipers and yay for veteran CoD twitchers. Amount of Scouts on servers today is astonishing.

I only speak for myself when I say that. Maybe this is a bad thing for snipers in general, but I just don't like snipers personally. More often than not they're a general annoyance for both teams in any objective team play.

You haven't seen enough days then. But Flak Scouts got a nerf too, so I'm sure some people were just testing out the change to see if they'll still play Scout.

I didnt see any nerfs to snipers in the patch notes.

Its not joke, sharpshooter have 65 dps and half enemies have deflectors and camposite armor (+20% armor and +15% armor).  With so low damage you cant kill fast enemy, even if you have low ping.
Cmon, just look at Gunz or Global Agenda, snipers must kill with 2 shots for light, 3 shots for medium and 4 for heavy.

the devs hate snipers
I also hate snipers
all is correct in the world

[Gabbahead]

Wrong!
Developes hate C-class mechs.
Sad, but true...

[Duralumi]

Snipers are not supposed to have high DPS.
They are supposed to have high burst damage for their effective range. Making them experts at picking off weak targets.
Your video even proves me right. No other mech in the game could hit for that much damage, in that short amount of time, at that distance.

Simply put, you need to learn how to play.

He has right about one thing, the stupidest place for servers in EU is UK. Reasons:
Other countries have MUCH MUCH better infrastructure. Place servers in Denmark, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Switzerland, Poland, southern Sweden. Uk is really worst place for game servers in EU
