laudwic Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Just a defeat badge for taking out Nemesis and Crey Snipers. Just seems to me that the Crey Snipers in PI are just working with too much impunity. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0th Power Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I thought there was a thread a week or so ago suggesting the same thing, but I cant find it... Anyways... If a defeat sniper badge isn't called "Snipe Hunt" then I might lose faith in all that is good in this world... (or just be really annoyed) 1 1 I am Pro-Human I invented Combat Teleport I invented K'ong (More proof here too) Battle Rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerva Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Hunting those camper n00bs is its own reward, but I wouldn't say no to some recognition for pwning them. Seconding Snipe Hunt for a name. Edited December 15, 2021 by Nerva Name recommendation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemystic Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 If it's not going to be called "sniper no sniping" then you've lost my vote. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchVileTerror Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The clear answer is for it to be a Tiered Badge Series. Counter-Sniper for 25 Sniper, No Sniping! for 50 Snipe Hunt for 100 and Ultimate Sniper for 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 More annoying in FF. YOu can get stuck in a crossfire there really easily... and as level 30-40, it can hurt more.

InvaderStych Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Honestly, if the badge isn't called something along the lines of "Those Poor Fools" or "You Cannot Be Serious" then it's a missed opportunity. Who in their right mind applies for a job sitting on a roof-top in FF or PI for the purpose of taking pot-shots at beings that can throw cars, teleport between dimensions, pull meteors from the sky, or assail them with a horde of literal demons? Or in some cases much, much worse? "Hmm... that hero flying by covered with auras of lethal radiation and capable of throwing me across town looks harmless enough even though I just watched them sweep the pavement with a half dozen CoT mages. I'm sure this .308 round will do the trick from extreme range, lemmie just check my windage ...." 🤣 FF/PI Snipers are either willfully self-destructive, or the job is the Crey/Malta/Nemesis equivalent of being sent to do "research" at a Cold Weather Testing facility in Siberia. Totally support a series badge for them though, sometimes it's fun to take a moment to remind them how dangerous their job can be. 😄 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge.

Dynamo-Joe Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The above was my commentary and presentation for a Counter-sniping badge a few months ago. Yes, my inspiration was pretty obvious. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snipe Hunt is definitely a good name for a badge in this series, perhaps for defeating all of the different types of sniper (and/or other long-range minions, like Council marksmen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad flashbacks to 2004-me trying to find the Tech SO contact in Founders Falls, and subsequently deciding that the east end of the zone was to thereafter be called "Sniper Alley." Flah forward a week or so, a new friend asking me where the Tech SO guy is, and I was like, "I'll tell you, but you can't make me go!" 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerva Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) For the Snipe Hunt badge, make the badge art a small bird (a snipe) looking terrified at the viewpoint as it's encircled by a large circular crosshair. Something like this, but in CoH's badge art style. Please excuse the crappy mockup; visual artist I am not.
