This is not a bad thing.

Good players will be quicker with their reactions, be able to adapt and shift the aim assist a little better, resulting in a few more hits. But overall, the gap between a skilled player and someone who is not great is definitely closer. The difference between a skilled veteran and a new player is a lot smaller now than it was. I'm for it. Whatever it takes to resurrect this game.

i dont want to bridge the gap between someone who is new and someone who isnt. this is personal preference tho, so here is another point.

rocking proto and being profitable requires a lot of skill and only the seasoned players could do it. Now, even if you beast on a guy, your half dead and the next guy will just kill you anyway. This has taken the game mechanics a lot closer to the quick churning meatgrinder gameplay of COD and that scares me.

This down to the fact the ar does damage with near perfect accuracy, no kick or spread. Do you not think 360 dmg a second is a bit much?

As i have said in numerous other posts, the AR in 1.4 was balanced for the other builds, bad detection and all. Now that hit detection is working and all the noobs became sharpshooters overnight, the DPS that the ARs are churning out is staggering.

Yes I belive this where the problem lies, aim assist isnt as bad as you think, once the ar works more like an ar and not a full auto sniper rifle, the aimbot threads will calm down!!

"Any feature intended to assist new players into the game shall greatly benefit the veteran players far more." This has been a long time proven streak in Eve Online's universe until now. I think 1.4s aiming changes have well done broken the law. Your thoughts?

I'm all for helping new players get fully into the game too, so I don't mind too much, but I think if youre going to start moving back on a trend you've got everyone used to, you have to start slow.1.4 was a big jump away from that laws direction

Newberries still get murdered cause of ehp, it's the guys that had 10+ mill sp that are now averaging significantly higher in games because they have comparable ehp and just lol shoot. Newbro's only benefit if they happen upon a 1v1 and the enemy wins...cause lol assist owns whats left.

It's actually assisting ps3 players. It would be ok if there were no kb/m support, but unitill kb/m support is here, aim assist for ds3 is necessary. Oh, and btw, it's an aim assist, you actually have to aim pretty well, otherwise it won't work.

LCB Holdings Expert Intervention Caldari State 15	Posted - 2013.09.05 06:37:00 - [13] - Quote I am in favor of attracting new players and sure the recent changes to the aiming mechanics might be able to catch some that test out 1.4, some players are concerned about aiming being easier/better. I believe it allows us to actually see the little improvement of a weapons across tiers, the gap that exists between tiers is too small. When I pick a prototype weapon I would like to feel confident that it is powerful and not just a militia counterpart with better range and a small buff to damage.
Lurchasaurus SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 1632	Posted - 2013.09.05 06:43:00 - [14] - Quote obv we need aim assist for DS3 users, especially in a game with m+kb. what we have now is doing more than assisting tho dps on the assault rifle is through the roof due to not only hit detection working but bullets not missing. the AR was balanced for the past bad mechanics and now its pretty damn good. its just a match to see who can apply their dps first

Because this "aim assist" isn't assisting. It's aiming Thus both sides are equally benefited. But the qq comes from vet players ACTUALLY wanting aiming to take skill. Crazy right?
Monkey MAC killer taxi company General Tso's Alliance 158	Posted - 2013.09.05 07:22:00 - [19] - Quote I would say the aim assist hasn't benifited as many as people think, noobs and vets alike, the only thing I need can consider as that adhesion adjustment is too accurate to quick, just a little, whats compounded the issue is hit detection. The texan two step doesnt work anymore, why? Because your enemy is throwing 12 rnds a second with incredible accuracy down range as far as 30-40m, it may feel like aimbot, but I think the t r ue problem lies behind the weapons we use!! MD was king of 1.3 because you could engage ar users at short range, half tne shots wouldn't register but yours would, it the same as the MD projectile fix, the only difference is that the weapons that have been fixed were already very powerful!

What is pissing off vets is that their grind that they have already endured is now irrelevant and so is the expensive gear they field. It is ironically similar to the current situation with tanks. The risk vs. reward is way off and vets with nice things are no longer feared. I earned my stuff. It simply isnt fair that someone else should get it handed to them via an ability to spit out DPS that is way beyond their ability to do so.
