Darksteele Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I see snipers everywhere I go on my server (prophecy of the five). I originally picked this class because I thought, like an idiot, that I could trust an online poll I saw on the forums where people chose what class they were going to play (ie was one of the lowest). This selection was also before I realized that some classes could hold multiple rolls in pve (again, should have figured this would have been the case but I guess I didn't research the game enough). Now, whenever I pvp there are at least 4 other snipers in my group. I feel like we are kind of useless when it comes to pushing objectives and... I don't know. I guess I'm just wondering if this is how it is on all the other servers too? Is sniper the most played class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMix Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I see far more Assassins and Operatives. Snipers are without a doubt a minority on Mind Prison. At 40+ i don't think i've had a single Sniper hit me up when im LFM for a FP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacegb Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Haven't seen many on Hidden Beks as of yet but I am still on low level worlds (rank 18). I seem to see a lot of Gunslingers & Sith warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaotikVisions Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 On Bergeren Colony I usually see 4 or 5 Snipers max per planet, with the rest being 75% Sith Warrior/Inquisitor and 25% BH. But people may be maxing their glowstick chars now and making alts if you're seeing a bunch pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadmode Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 on my server i pvp´d from 10-41 now and have never more than ONE other sniper in the battlegrounds. never grouped with another sniper because there are so few. pretty happy with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayestes Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I know maybe 3 other Snipers at 50 on my server. I only know 2 of those three because of the Ilum PvP recently and noticed their portable cover. They are very rare on my server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzlok Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 On Ahto City, Snipers are certainly in the minority. It's just the law of the MMO universe that, whenever you're playing a certain class, you will only ever see other players playing the same class as you. I mean, seriously, I roll a Powertech when they're pretty much only 5% of the server population, and in an hours levelling session I see at least 10 other powertechs and little else.

Bombina Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I decided to reroll Sniper because an ops group with 4 arsenal mercs and no dps IA's just seemed silly. While leveling my sniper (on Lord Praven) I saw nothing but IA's. When I leveled my merc it was the opposite. Though now that I'm nearly 40 I hardly see any agents anymore. I think it might have to do with ppl talking about how "OP" snipers are in pvp on the forums so ppl rolled fotm. That's my take on it anyways.

NicWester Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Funny, I'm on Po5, too, and sometimes I think I'm the only Sniper in the game, let alone the server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leharic Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) A zone with ~100 people in it usually looks like this to me (the Harbinger server): ~3 Powertech ~4 Operative ~5 Sniper Sidenote: In a Republic zone with ~100 players you'd be lucky to see even a single Scoundrel (Operative equivalent).

Jazzlok Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sidenote: In a Republic zone with ~100 players you'd be lucky to see even a single Scoundrel (Operative equivalent). That's because playing a Scoundrel is really unsatisfying, I tried. It's not the two blasters thing (I'm a PT>Merc guy), it's the lame abilities and animations. As an Operative you feel slick and sleek, going around with your assault rifle tucked into your shoulder then coming out with electric vibroblades in a swift motion. As a Scoundrel you hit people with the butt of your pistol and do other silly things that don't feel powerful at all. Granted, there's humour to be had by backhanding someone across the face. Dropping an explosive probe (or equivalent) on an enemy then making him explode by kicking him in the family jewels never gets old. It just feels stupid doing that to a droid war machine or giant lizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duuduu Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We're the minority on Port Nowhere. By far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimm Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Seems to be the least played advanced class, as well as having the most inactive forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguekiwi Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 we are a minority on veela i rarely see another sniper in WZs but it seems like we are becoming more popular for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevoisier Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 On Ajunta Pal I've only seen two other 50 snipers, maybe a third. Rarely more than 2 of us in WZs. None since the bracket. 2 snipers and an OP healer rolling together in Alderaan was pretty dangerous the one time it happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
