ok but this thread is about how to deal with snipers/slingers and someone said to get behind them and I was simply saying that regardless of the skill of the sniper getting behind them really isn't going to do you any good since the game will turn the sniper to face you no matter what you do.

hey sorry dude I'm not trying to minimize the problems that this gives you, it just seems kinda silly to me that BW would respond to this thread while completely neglecting the others that clearly have a much greater impact on the way the game plays. So yeah its a shot at BW and an act of solidarity with all the others who are frustrated that the devs don't respond to the other threads

yeah but when you get behind a melee they have to MANUALLY turn their character around to face you, the game doesnt do it for them... understand?

yeah because clearly this is the most game breaking problem with the pvp aspect of this game right now.....

ok.... but I don't think it should be because the game auto-targets the attacking melee person and thats the only point I'm trying to make. Mages and hunters do just fine in that other game, sure some key turning bads get pwnt, but there are plenty who can move their character themselves.

exactly! melee classes have to turn and face you but ranged classes don't.

clearly I don't mean that you could have to leave cover. Have you played any other mmo's ranged classes? You would just have to turn your character around while they stayed stationary and in cover. Like I said, I benefit from it, it's just ez mode.

not to be a jerk but this is the thread that you respond to out of all of the threads in this forum.

its always bothered me how snipers/slingers, or any ranged class for that matter, auto-turn when you get behind them. I play a sniper and benefit from this but it really does take an important skill aspect out of playing a ranged class to have them do this. I played rogue in wow would position myself behind many a caster and move with them as they would try to turn and face me. In this game ranged classes auto turn. It's kinda ez mode. Like I said I benefit from this as well on my sniper it just seems kinda silly that I can take a sip of my soda with my mouse hand while I have a melee on me regardless of their position.

I would like to know the answer!!1

its still amazing to me that this game was released without a combat log. Here we are over a half year later and still no real time combat log.

Thank you all for the great feedback!

I'm leveling a vanguard. Currently I'm level 30. Maxed at 2000 wz coms. I cant buy bm gear and dont have the valor level to convert to rated wz coms. What can I do to spend/save these for level 50. I havent found this info on the forums and when I asked in game some people said to buy the level 40 gear which im not really interested in. Surely there is something I can do now with these coms that will benefit me at level 50 besides buying heal pots, stims etc. Thx in advance for answers
