NIKIA BETHUNE Ill Omens 482	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:03:00 - [1] - Quote why do shield seem so much weaker? did i miss something? i've been using caldari for the last 8 months and have never died this fast. Anyone else notice shields seem to be off?
Sete Clifton PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 313	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:05:00 - [2] - Quote I think it's just the combination of both the mouse and ds3 being better. Maybe also slightly due to slower strafing (people are easier targets). I think they may have made some changes to hit detection as well, but I'm not sure about that one.
Lurchasaurus SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 1462	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:07:00 - [3] - Quote the aim assist that come with 1.4 is basically an Aimbot. people are not missing.
dustwaffle Ill Omens 428	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:10:00 - [4] - Quote My shields definitely feel weaker now. Visually it looks like 2 shots coming at me, and more than 70% of my shields disappear, and I stack complex extenders on all my suits as well... Could just be aim assist, who knows, might have to pick up my DS3 now :D EDIT: Also, that sound you get when your shields get hit, not sure if I like that sound... Guess it takes some getting used to.
XxWarlordxX97 Ancient Exiles 4465	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:12:00 - [5] - Quote Yes
Canari Elphus Pro Hic Immortalis 398	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:12:00 - [6] - Quote assault scrambler rifle + aimbot.4 = butter shields SMG + aimbot.4 = butter armor combine the two = tears
Jammeh McJam Robbing The Hood 19	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:14:00 - [7] - Quote My gallente starter fit does better in game than my assault cko with 700hp rly?

Dust Project 514 Pistol King 262	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:17:00 - [9] - Quote It's the hit detection. It's ben improved, revealing just how rediculously powerful automatic weapons are and how weak single shots are, in comparison. I managed to get 11 kills and 2 deaths this morning, just using the basic AR and a basic minmatar medium frame. The game has SERIOUS balancing issues.

My gf was cleaning out a drawer today and dropped a Christmas ornament she found on the floor by accident. I quickly dove behind the bed and waited for the recharge to begin.

XxGhazbaranxX Bannana Boat Corp 310	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:26:00 - [11] - Quote aim assist where you hit near the target and it actually make it seem that you hit the target. I tested it out and I literally hit in the vicinity of the target and hit even when I knew I was not supposed to have touched the guy.

The aim assist is the same as bf3, people are just used to no aim assist so with it it seems much better
IRON PATRIOT 1 Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 39	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:33:00 - [13] - Quote [quote=NIKIA BETHUNE]why do shield seem so much weaker? did i miss something? i've been using caldari for the last 8 months and have never died this fast. Anyone else notice shields seem to be off?[/quote It's because ar's and sr's are are strong against shields and now aim assist is in affect we are now feeling the pain. It's even worse for me do to bad inet connection and lag I got toe 2 toe with militia suits and get dropped half of the time. Its like militia suits and proto's are on the same tier now. I have not touched my AR since this update because of this. Tried sg's but my shots register all over the place so now I'm forced to use the lr.
Garth Mandra The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 85	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:36:00 - [14] - Quote There is also no guarantee that you're on your native server. I was playing last night with Oceania selected. I'm certain that not once in 10 or so games was I on my server. I'm sure you're familiar with the effects of lag.

The aim assist is the same as bf3, people are just used to no aim assist so with it it seems much better I play BF3, and I've used a aimbot before (not knowing it at the time however, as that wasn't my computer). It's more like a aimbot.
Thor Odinson42 Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 1113	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:41:00 - [19] - Quote My shields are beast and they were getting shredded today. I fit an exile with only L3 in AR and L2 SS and started owning folks. I think we'll adjust after a few days, but these changes seem pretty cool. I think we'll like them in the end. The matchmaking, well that's a different story

I tested it out and I literally hit in the vicinity of the target and hit even when I knew I was not supposed to have touched the guy. One time I hit a guy all 8 times with my CRG-3, no damage. He literally just realized that I was there, and watched as I hit him 3 times, and just did nothing. I killed myself, raged quitted, and haven't played since in defiance.

I don't mind seeing the aim-assist feature in Dust. In fact, I welcome it. The problem is that the aim-assist appears to be an aim-bot.

It's more like a aimbot. Not from my experience
Palatinate Ill Omens 34	Posted - 2013.09.04 03:51:00 - [23] - Quote Something is wrong with shields. Shot a militia caldari suit with 44% efficiency rating. 310 shields dropped instantly but his 150 armor took longer and the guy was standing still.

We need our Rail and combat rifles asap or armor tankers are going to rule the battlefield.

Hahah I got you a few times today with the LR to see how it was working... apparently pretty well.
Sete Clifton PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 317	Posted - 2013.09.04 04:15:00 - [28] - Quote Look, people saying that aim assist is too strong is fine (despite that I disagree). But I don't honestly know how anyone can call it an aim bot and keep a straight face. Type aim bot into youtube, it's not even close. It makes your argument, which could be legitimate, sound ridiculous and hard to take seriously.

Anyone else notice shields seem to be off? Caldari is overrated. Assault GK.0 is the go-to suit for survival (657 armor full proto gear come at me bro).
