General_Durandal Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 There used to be plenty of good camping spots for sniping, now there are barely any in the areas that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaDude40 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I always take the call of duty 360noskope "tactical" sniping method, since it's much faster and saves me from a few bombard rockets to the face. I've never even known people tried to camp in certain locations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the two areas I can say off the top of my head, are the elivator roof of the shipyard defense map, and the catwalk in the jakle boss room. Also the wall ledge in the gas planet corpus colony long-room where the mobile defense missions commonly go. There is also this one OoB area spot in the map room on grineer battleship tileset, that makes no sense since you can stand right next to it.

Why else would they have put in the walls in the first place? I mean, look at ODD. Those sweet ledges people used to stand on and spam abilities or snipe from are now blocked off. You are forced onto the lamp posts or onto the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DE didn't want us to snipe then why the hek did they add the sniper combo counter? Hey everyone, here is a cool mechanic that makes being a sniper more rewarding, to bad you won't get to use it because we're putting invis walls in all the good camping spots.

Because DE doesn't want camping The problem with making camping spots for snipers is that it opens up camping spots for AFK'ers and leeches as well. "Hey look, a prime spot to hide and...yeah, snipe.

"Hey look, a prime spot to hide and...yeah, snipe. I'm a sniper with my Quanta..." Those players are locked out of loot though, so it doesn't matter. If you do nothing for 1 minute strate in defense missions, you are locked out of that rotation's loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally had someone flat out admit they were leeching via voice chat and that they didnt care about the loot, credits or xp. They were still getting the alert rewards at the end.

But they also need to make the afk timer inactive in the invite only lobby imo But that's a different topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone sets it up to wait for players, then leaves, their warframe won't get picked when others do the same. I don't think that would work very well.

You have to invite them in the first place, and if you bail from a mission, you take the team with you, IIRC. The only reason I'd want one player lobby free of the afk timer is due to the family members I play with. I know they get called away for work, pet, infant, general emergencies and I have no issue carrying them. But I do have an issue when a total stranger drops in and expects to be carried and is an utter bandersnatch when I tell them off for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything about invite only though. When you select a mission, there is a choice to wait for players. If you click it you pretty much stay in the mission's lobby waiting for other players. If someone did that, then afked, then they joined the mission without even being there, then they should be auto banned at missions end for three days.

Well, if it's invite only, then the lockes shouldn't be auto placed, because the people are likely friends or clanmates. I whish the host had the ability to kick players from the team. I think that would help, but also be abused by trolls. Edited February 23, 2017 by General_Durandal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused because I thought you were replying to my comment about invite only lobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
