Now people should die if they are not moving at a decent speed now, but what if their moving you should still miss a few shots and they wont die as fast right? nope aim assist drags you along and gets you shots on them as if they were not moving. meaning everyone is hitting people like they would shooting a sniper in the back.
Now everyone has to brick tank to cross the road, brick tanks are not fun.
<-- snip --> the 32% damage increase across the board would have been enough as is.
For me, the above describes my experience and observations of 1.4.
Finding it very difficult to survive and logi with K/M since this update, right at the point I was starting to -get- this game after three months.
The cost of trying to logi now may drive me from the role if not the game, with choices of:.
* either low to moderate success with very costly suits & high ISK drain or
* cheap suits with inability to logi effectively and high death rates
Suggestions
Do something about re-balancing the increased hit detection, while great to have it; drop weapon damage across the board to extend the average gun fight duration from 1-2 seconds=dead to 4s+, allowing (further away) cover to be reached sooner and better gunfight skills to be employed. This will also extend the time logis have to revive & recover the fallen.
Change the stickiness of the aim assist at longer ranges so it doesn't give as much benefit at those longer ranges. |

I dont run an AR as a logi - but Im not getting killed by logi suits, its by a number of huge damage per second weapons, super accurate shots hitting me on the run and at long ranges; coupled with lag hit delay making cover hard to judge.
>This is down to logis not having the bonuses, ccp are working on it!
While this is happening, Im in a holding pattern, I suppose everyone is.
