I have only played one match so I hope I am not speaking too soon. CCP I think you have cracked it!

The shotgun is working like a dream! Better hit detection than ever in fact.....

Dear players,

Today DUST 514 will go offline for an extended period of time starting from 11:00 GMT. Server is expected to come back up at 12:00 GMT. Today we are deploying the following changes:

* Fix to the issue where RDV would drop vehicles from great heights
* Fix to the Shotgun hit detection issue
* Fix to the crash where players would call in vehicle and leave battle before vehicle deployment starts
* Further improvements to the Ashland Domination map issue (null cannon block)
* Fix to the issue of district selection of FW battles - players should no longer experience the "scotty errors" in matchmaking
* Deployment of the new storefront promotion

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I won't believe it till I see it, but a preemptive yaaaaaay is in order.

Send honeyed lamb, fillet steak and thanks to Team Kong. That or create a shotgun killing montage and post links.

This makes me very happy. incredibly so. On Tuesday, when I thought I would have to use some other weapon I almost cried. I think I'd rather walk away from the game than use the AR at any rate. Too damn vanilla.

Shotgun is FOTM and OP. Please nerf, everyone is killing with it.

While I am happy for you shotgunners (sort of cause I still hate you guys and gals ) the shotty is becoming pretty standard. I seem to die to more of those than anything else these days, but at least I'll still sometimes get the best of you all with my submachine gunning minmatar assault fit.

PEW PEW ,PEW PEW!!

NO NO NO, it goes more like KACHUNK, BLAM!!!!, KACHUNK, BLAM!!!!

are you serious?

That's because the only shotgun scouts still around are the crusty, mean bastards that stuck it out through hitbox expansion, useless ewar, tissue-sized hp, shotgun bugs, etc, etc, etc and STILL found a way to be successful!

And now we're a crazy combination of pissed off, patient and calculating having spent these months of uprising honing our skills while we lose one brother after another to the AR-toting, mouth-breathing, entitlement-minded masses until THIS glorious day:

Tacnet invisibility...check.
Shotgun functionality...check.

Prepare for our arrival.

& yes commander has been killing everyone with his shotty so people please bring them out so i can douvolle you with ease. hahahahahahahahahahahah [evil laugh]

Huzzah!

Huzzah!

NO NO NO, it goes more like KACHUNK, BLAM!!!! +50, KACHUNK, BLAM!!!! +50

Huzzah!

I'll remember you said this

this hit detection is actually helping out my flaylocks too... although you still need at least ADV with operation lvl 5 to get the hit.

ITs called aim bot LOL.

Arrival!? You guys have been kicking my @ss since before they were "fixed" minmitar assaults and caldari logis mostly. Lots of speed and shields and a vicious shotgun. I'm not complaining (much anyway) mind you, just saying that people who are skilled with shottys and build their suits around them are killers and should all go to hell

ITs called aim bot LOL.

It's disappointing that speed is no longer a viable tactic to use the SG and take advantage of its re-found awesomeness

You are right. Now I have had another day or so to test, speed really isn't a helping factor much. I'm finding having additional hit points in armour, coupled with profile dampeners is much better. The base scout speed seems to be enough.

I tried with my usual kincats and found I could not escape anything any better than without them. The usual dodging + strafing tactics don't work no where near as much.

Obviously the aim assist is doing its job, but its working too well against scouts.

I would be curious to know what CCP had in mind when they said before they plan to give scouts some love...

Deal

As usual, give it some time to "process"

It is different.
But not fixed.

OK, Could be connection issues. But I still get kills when I shouldnt. and don't when I should.

THE CHANGE I have noticed, seems to be damage/range calculation. Several times yesterday a close shot did very little damage, the guy retreats and my second shot tears him apart. - But of course this could all just be linked to the above.

I don't understand what is so complicated. If my circle is central to the target, deal maximum damage at that range, if it is a little off centre, deal less.

If it is linked to lag issues, just make the damage calculation local to the same system controlling the local display, no?

Me thinks I press too hard on the joystick when I get excited.

Nice video man, I see you suffer the same problems I do. Keep operating like were back in 1.3, got the "rush" on haha. We need to learn to play even more sneaky.

Don't know if you guys hotfixed something but shotgun pellets are going away again.

Skip to 1:30 again at 2:00

Uuuggg bring out the amarr light allready :-)

Start your night playing with the breach....after a couple games switch back to regular shotgun and it will help be more accurate. You really have to time your shots with the breach...do wish it would either A) reload faster, or B) Have 4 in the clip. 2 in the clip and the awful reload speed is just too much.
