Congratulations you are officially posting the latest QQ idont like getting shot thread. You sir win this round of dust 514forums.

Turning it off only gives a disadvantage against everyone who has it on.

What's the point in having skill shot weapons or any sort of gun game ability if aim assist is there providing an easy-kill for everyone.

I am a good shot with an assault rifle, I was great at outflanking and overtaking my opponents with simple user skill and standard gear, but I can no longer say that I can outgun my opponents simply because we both hit almost every bullet at nearly every range, outgunning means just having the bigger gun now.

This game attracted me because of the learning curve and player skill that was required to beat your opponents, matches have become boring and unattractive now that killing has been made easy.

High tier gear should only be effective in skilled hands.

IE I am bad at this game and I need this aim assist so shut your trap cause I am loving my new skillz!

And you won't turn it off because you'll be at a disadvantage?

Is it really that hard a concept to grasp? He used to be able to kill people disproportionately. Now aim-assist bridges the skill gap between him and the people he used to pwn.

Hahahahah most folks know im a tanker so aim assist dosent affect me so try again scrub. Hahaha keep up the tears.

So, instead of benefitting from the aim-assist, you just have no experience with it, and are thereby completely unqualified to comment on it.
Nice work.

Welll acctually I also have adv in every wepon appart from shot gun and have been testing thus apparent aim bot since the launch of 1.4 and can say I dony notice it . I still get as many kills on ground as I did before 1.4 I also die just the same so go figure . (Yes I am a tanker I have 14 mill sp in maxed shield tanks and aprox 6 mill in suits and wepons) so I can comment. I might just pick my fights better.

I don't like to rant, but this game has become an assault rifle only type game now that aim assist is back, the balancing of weapons has become so distorted now that winning in a firefight comes down to just having the bigger gun with more hp.

This game attracted me because of the learning curve and player skill that was required to beat your opponents, matches have become boring and unattractive now that killing has been made easy. The assault rifle is now the golden weapon and semi-auto weapons are now overpowered in CQC.

I have been with this game for a long time now and I would hate to see it turn into another generic RPG where having the better gear guarantees victory. High tier gear should only be effective in skilled hands. New players are not going to want to play this game if getting better gear is just the equivalent of leveling up in pokemon, if killing is an end then player skill should be the means to that end, not sp ground gear.

So why bring up your tanker credentials to suggest that you don't benefit from aim-assist? You're contradicting yourself.

Outside of the few short periods where there was aim assist that never worked consistently enough to be of value before Uprising 1.4, there has only been one weapon which ever did anything resembling "aiming for you", and that's the Swarm Launcher.

Guess that makes tankers the only ones with enough "experience" against auto-aiming weapons to have a valid opinion from the target side. And AV guys the best ones to ask about it from the shooter's point of view.

I've had some issues on day one with the aim assist, and the past 2 days after hotfixes, it's seemed like it's pretty close to the level it should be. I'm still in the testing phase with it, trying to determine details about the mechanics which might help to better confirm the scale of the problem, but at the moment, I think it needs to be slightly dialled back from its current strength.

Are you really making the argument that any kind of tank v infantry situation can be analogous to an infantry v infantry scenario?

Sigh did I say it benafited or hinderd me? You sir just want an argument im just stating what I have noticed. And I usually only run ground when solo. I also use most wepons situationally or for FUN oh gasp heven for bid fun in a game.

I thought I was being a sleep-deprived idiot playing along with a bad argument for a laugh. But you're welcome to take it that way if you want

You said you were a tanker in order to avoid the criticism that you benefit from aim-assist. You then brought up your experience as infantry to avoid the criticism that you have no valid experience with aim-assist. These are mutually exclusive positions, you can't have both.
All I did was call you on it.

Never heard of you, so I am going to assume your just bad

Every time I hear the phrase 'gun game', I die a little inside.

Thing is aim assist may be too strong, but it affects everyone. If you were a good player before 1.4 you are still a good player now.

This game become who got most dps and hp win the gunfight, today game player base down to 3k players

Since when was this game NOT based on who has the most DPS and HP when it came to gunfights? The aim assist only blurred the line between skill and no life SP farming "vets".

I approve of this. DUST is an FPS, not a standard RPG where the player who has leveled up more will be the clear winner. The extra sp gives them an advantage, but not an "I win" button.
