Because of aimbot, one day has passed and the vets already hate dust. We dont want to play this game when everyone is just as good as us because of an aim assist, that is not earned. Our millions of SP ahead of other players is now nonfactored because it only takes an AR to kill you now that they have near perfect accuracy, the delema only amplified with reduced strafe speed. The only way to play now is to stack EHP and outlast the enemy as you both kill each other almost instantly. Then after you win that gunfight, you loose your second because your almost dead.

some ppl say this game is now better because "it is forcing ppl to use tactics and cover"
You dont need aimbot to use tactics and cover, i dont understand how those in favor of aimbot can say this is a valid argument. This is an FPS, it should be assumed we are already using tactics and cover, expescially the better players of the game. No, we would not call ourselfs skilled if we did not use our brains and surroundings. The only difference with aimbot is its easier to shoot above or around the cover your hiding behind.

Dust has always been a game that rewards the skilled and intelligent players and those who have the most SP. Why should we set everyone on the same playing feild, setting everyone on par with everyone? Now, you do not need skill to play the game and it is okay if you are not as skilled as a player as the guy your shooting, the aim ''assist" will kill him as quickly as he kills you.

Yes, im saying someone with 4 mill SP and 2 months of playing time should continue to get blown away by someone with 22 mill SP and 10 months of gungame experience. The person with more experience has better aim, uses cover more efficiently, and has better gear than the noob but they come out almost even on gunfights. Is that balanced? It was before, when you, youknow. needed skill to win???

I have not noticed much of a difference between 1.3 and 1.4 my scout suits still get shredded to pieces when someone looks at me; Yes the hit detection has been fixed yes you should expect to die faster now, all the bullets that actually hit you now do damage instead of half of them not detecting like in 1.3. I think you need a reality check go get some harden up pills.

This. How does one who claim to be skillful cannot beat the ones who uses aim assist?

That just mean that your reckless, "I am god with the aiming" playstyle must be adjusted.

What will you do?

Will you cry and moan?

Or will you adapt and overcome?

Keep trying, maybe someday they will let you in :)

I know for somebody who is attempting to be accepted by good players you are obligated to defend all the big names for acceptance. Once you get to the top though you no longer care to suck up to anybody.

I am not throwing melee glitch in every thread. I am proving a POINT The fact is you can't whine about something that you think is potentially hurting the game, you can't complain about trying to help the integrity of the game when you yourself is cheating in that exact same game.

That's the only point I am.....excuse me MADE here. If you suck up long enough just maybe you will get somewhere I doubt it though.

If the aim assist (not aim bot) removed the skill from Dust, as the thread title suggests, then wouldn't all the players perform equally as well as each other? Why is it then that even in a group of total blue berries I see people outperforming others? I'm sorry pub stompers, there's more to skill than just aiming.

While I agree with you somewhat, for me as a scout I expect to engage solo as generally that's always been my role. Don't get me wrong, I love team work but that's for when I am assault logi and heavy suits. (At least the fighting teamwork aspect)

The biggest problem I find is back before 1.4, I could be scouting through an area and yes there would be occasional red dots that would spot me. Now this was never too much of a huge problem as I was able to escape and or prepare myself for a fight by getting into cover.

The problem now is those same red dots only have to blink at me and I am dead lol. 100m distance militia riflemen scope me out and kill me in a few hits.

One of the rules in eve is this:
"if its beneficial for new players then its even more beneficial for vets"
I think some of the so called "vets" dont have the reaction time that is needed to be good on a FPS game. Thats why most of them did run the caldari logi with insane amount of HP and the ability to strafe. Both combined was resulting in a ahrd to hit and harder to kill player. Now that strafing is eliminated and armor grants much more HP then shields the so called "vets" are loosing their unfair advantage so they cry on the forum. Well welcome to new eden, on this universe CCP will take your "I WIN BUTTON" away at any random time.

And semi auto noobtubes and contact nades, and grenades with huge blast radius have a place in competitive FPS? No, but DUST has them.
