And basically all assualt suits and under, because in order to get anything done in 1.4 it feels like you need a logi or heavy suit... Especially as an aggressive player/play style...

No point in using Shield Regulators or Energizers or tactical low slot modules, dampeners etc.. Because with everyone turning instant pro overnight (via aim assiat and hit boxes the size of my fat exwifes ass) you can't stay alive long enough to benefit from them...

There is no point in running scout or assualt because of the lack of low and equipment slots especially when logi suits are running around with an auto aim AR, 900ehp and a wallhack aka Active scanner..

With 1.4 CCP has single handedly screwed up a tactical gear based shooter and turned it into a FOTM lobby shooter were your expensive choices no longer matter unless you can afford to spec into logi/heavy...

Correct me if I'm wrong especially on the part about shield regulator or energizers and tactical low slot modules. ..

I play Assault and haven't had any problems. I had to adjust my play style a bit because of the aim assist crap, but overall it's pretty much the same. Heavies are much scarier, shotguns are much scarier, and noobs are actually somewhat of a threat now. Just gotta learn to pick your battles a bit better.

I know some peeps are getting hammered but i'm convinced it's a playstyle thing. And it's caused by improved hit detection more than Aim Assist.

I'm running exactly the same assault suit i was in 1.3: Mini Adv Assault, 2 cmplx SE, 1 adv Light damage mod, 1 adv sheild reg, 1 adv Armor repper, exile, flaylok, M1 nades, hives. My numbers have actually improved but there's a lot more ducking behind cover and waiting for the recharge.

And no more 'walk of the drunken master' across vast open spaces =( I know it was totally goofy and unrealistic, but i was proud of my skill and covering 150m while under multiple sniper fire was a fun minigame.

Ok as my experiance in 1.3 hit detection was screwy so on average shooting a stationary target 1/3 shots wouldnt conect. Now that hit detection is fixed 19/20 shots will hit, thats over a 30% hamage increase for allot of guns, so yeah thas HUGE.

Now people should die if they arnt 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 asisst drags you along and gets you shots on them as if they wernt 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 tansk arnt fun.

Remove Aimassist, the 32% damage increase across the board would have been enough as is.

Exile AR baby - 34 DMG @ 750 RPM

Not a dime wasted (ISK), no time wasted (SP)

Slap on two or more complex damage mods (the secret of 1.4) and roll.

It may not track for you but it sure dose for me, try using a Laser Rifle, its REALLY noticabe when the laser shoots out at a 15 degree angle from the barrle of the gun and follows a target without me moving the gun.

+1 this comment I completely agree

Soumds like the game became more tactical seeing as your more likability to die now than before when things werent working right.

What happend to adpt or die guys?

Everyone is busy dying.

And apparently some people are busy defending broken game mechanics because of their lack of foresight.

Don't you dare bring up new players into this! I've been on here since Chrome, lobbying for ways to help new players to the point that I was helping them in the academy on alts. (before it got nerfed) I haven't seen you commenting on tutorials, guides, and match making centered topics. Matchmaking was supposed to level the playing field, but when you don't even need to aim thanks to hit box inflation, aim assist, homing bullets- whatever the hell is going on, how are those new players supposed to get better so they can compete with vets?

The only problem are logis. Tell me now one logi that dont run assault logi (maybe few in PC...). All goes scanner, duvolle, comp dmg mods,totall 700ehp...they can also fit repping hives and what you will do to best that repp his armor 100\s shooting at you with 50dmg per bullet....

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.

Dust - 'come back in a month and see if its got better'
