As an AR/Dev main designed specifically around long range shots I am very sad. I don't PvP at all and so that IO set means nothing to me. I just like to be able to shoot runners and now I can get one and then I wait and wait until I am considered out of combat and my range returns. This change just trashed multiple millions of influence in IO sets I did have and pretty much screwed up my entire character concept. I played with the interruptable snipe on live and that was far better than this range loss. If you have to change snipe, then go back to the no fast snipe mode.
