You can think what you want, really, IDGAF, you're going to believe whatever delusions you think are popular so you can feel included with the "in-crowd".

@Lurchasaurus

Sorry if I saw a personal attack and took nothing else from the post. I am aware of the playstyle I've chosen from the start and the only thing preventing me from further developing it is the fact that we are stuck in lobby after lobby with no opportunity for open world, FPS PvP.

If we had that option, I'd be able to further develop my playstyle.

We don't, therefore I am happy with where I am and will continue to be until I have a proper environment to develop my playstyle. If you think that I am an "entitled and unskilled player" because of this, go ahead, again, IDGAF.

If you'll take note, I've been playing less and less, quickly going down the road of Dust Bittervet.

I hope without manipulation? I hope you mention that there are people who like the AA ;).




You are welcome to turn it of. I will use mine.

If this game plans to bring in new players aim assist is a must. I believe that the aim assist is perfect. I compare this aim assist to that of halo. In halo gunfights last longer, players jump, strafe and move everywhere. In halo aim assist is a must because 90 percent of the time your tracking your targets during gunfights while jumping and moving around. I feel like the same stands for dust. If CCp decides to take away aim assist, and fix KBM then the only people who will get shafted are the DS3 users. Aiming with KBM is much more precise than DS3. Making fine adjustments at long range, and in your face CQC is where the DS3 fails. Us controller users need a way to balance out the playing field, and thats with aim assist. Which is usually standard on most console games. Why it was taken off in Dust makes no sense to me. And besides probably the reason why people have been getting killed more is not aim assist, but the fact that CCP finally fixed aiming with the DS3. Before 1.4 aiming with the DS3 was awful. Hip firing and ADS had the same aiming speed, and the controls were sluggish, clunky, and wonky.

When I play football in the real world against real people, I don't get to have tackle assist. When I play paintball against real people, I don't get aim assist. When I play a game against real people, I want to play against people, not against aim-bots.

Mouse and keyboard dominate ds3 without aim assist.There was no way to be competitive with a ds3 before.All those crying about aa are try hards who are used to get all those free kills and now thay cant anymore,,,cry more plz.(all console games have aim assist)

you realize strafing is dead in 1.4?

im pretty sure most ds3 players i play with would tell you otherwise. i guess it is convenient to assume all ds3 players are incapable of aiming tho to make your point.

It's not that. You literally can't follow a guy who strafe with a keyboard. Even if you have a great eye-fingers coordination you can't follow your target. To strafe with a keyboard you just press "a" "d" for lateral strafe. If you strafe with a ds3 the difference is noticeable, because you see your target strafing "slower" because its change of direction is much slower, letting you track its movement far easier.

and...I don't want to talk about mouse sensitivity vs pad sensitivity.

while a mouse has precision over the ds3, a gamepad has much more mobility than a keyboard.

for instance, if i want to throw a grenade, i have to press the x key, which in turn makes me take a finger off wasd. This cannot be rebound lol

You mean like CoD or BF3? You know, the biggest FPS of all time?
They have AA and you can't turn it off, even if there is a menu. All you can do, is turn it off for the single player.

I did not play those games. Well, 3 matches in COD and one evenining in BF3 and I did not touch either one since then. They are the biggest FPS of all time only in the heads of ppl who play them. AA is for lazy ppl. COD preys on lazy ppl (incidentally the majority of console market) with a demand for self-validation. Also, aim assist is the lazy way of adjusting aiming mechanics.

People play this game to get away from easy mode COD meatgrinders, or at least a large amount of the above average players I have played with do.

....and? I played MAG really a lot, and strafing was nearly impossible. Why is it a problem if you can't strafe? Mind you, it's not because you are good, it's because you (or your opponent) lag, so you might think "whoa this guy really suck at aiming" or "better than matrix hell yeah". Just adapt your play style. Take cover, shoot, take cover, reload, shoot again. Call your reinforcements because now there's almost no way you can survive a 3 vs 1. Don't get me wrong, I don't consider myself a noob that needs AA to survive (my 4.5 kdr speaks by itself) and even if I'm dying more now, I really find the whole game more enjoyable. If you really like to dodge things there are a lot of games that allows you to. Metal Slug, R-Type etc

I'll make you a deal, if you and "the above average players [you] have played with" all buy $10,000 of game packs every month to keep DUST financially viable/sustainable, then we'll let CCP nerf AA into oblivion so you can run around feeling good about yourselves, using your Kb/M to rack up your K/D ratio.

In order for DUST to even exist this time next year we need to bring in a lot more new blood (and quickly). The #1 complaint I've heard from new players and reviewers are the controls feel bad. We need proper gameplay tutorials too for sure (people don't read walls of text CCP they want to fight right away). Being accessible to newer players is critical to the survival of this game, making you and the above average players you play with feel superiorl isn't.

Removing the 10% buff to all weapon damage would help make fights a little longer, with tank & dps mods playing a larger role in the outcome which should (slightly) favor the vet player in most fights. Since this was originally added to compensate for removing AA at Uprising's launch, it stands to reason that the first change CCP implements would be removing this now unnessisarily addition since they've brought back AA.

If this still isn't sufficient, one option would be to reduce AA slightly in FW & PC matches to reward hardcore players. Another option would be giving players who use the controller with AA disabled a 10% SP bonus for being better "superior to everyone else."

[quote=Vell0cet]Ill make you a deal, if you and "the below average player [you] have played with" all buy $10,000 of game packs every month to keep DUST finantially viable/sustainable, then we-¦ll get CCP to add a wallhack to your aimbot, so you can run around feeling good about yourselves, using AA to rack up your K/D ratio.

Oh and one more thing:
This is a ******* computer game, you are supposed to feel good about yourself when you play it.

having a computer aim for you isnt making the controls feel better. it is taking the controls away. before you get all huffy puffy why not pull your head out of your as.s and see the auto tracking aim assist for what it really is. no one is asking for aim assist to be taken away, it simply needs to be toned down to it doesnt aim for you.

The biggest problem with you people is you think making the game an instant gratification, no skills required game like COD will miraculously fix this game and make people happy. I am sick of COD, it has ruined a genre of gaming, and it breeds players with bad values and a horrible understanding of skill and what constitutes it.

No one gets into a freaking titan in EVE after playing for one week. I hold Dust higher than the other FPSs because it has things that you can actually earn and compensates me for my time investment. CCP will be forsaking their most hardcore fans if they listen to your drivel and the one single game we can still hope for to break the mold and get out of the easy mode gutter will be ruined.

I hope CCP reads this, I am tired of people coming on here demanding things be layed out on a red carpet for them simply because they dont feel they should have to put in as much effort as everyone else has because it is incomvenient.

To summarize the OP's post:

"I suck at the game, my friends suck at the game...we love the massive crutch that aim assist is just like we love to ride bikes with training wheels. It's the first time we're "good" at the game!! Let's ignore everyone who has legit skill and focus on people like us, people who suck without crutches."

Why are you here crying like a little baby?

I'm not crying...I'm stating a FACT.

Why do you keep your head stuck in the sand and pretend everything's alright?

Are you a little baby?

So your best comeback is an ad hominem attack? And you accuse others of being a baby? The irony is strong in your posts

This game is only "hardcore" to those of simple mind.

CoD and Battlefield arnt competitive on consoles, if you think they are, go to a gaming tourney with big prizes, guess what, they dont have the games and if the remote chance they allow it, its the PC version without AA on.

My preferences of balls to the wall cutthroat are those of someone who is here to stay no matter what.

Appealing to the top 10% of the tiny player base isn't a financially viable business model for DUST.

Exactly, and when people fire up DUST to give it a shot despite the lackluster reviews and discover they can't hit for s*it, they uninstall and move on. It's money down the drain for CCP. We need to grow the player base by several orders of magnitude for this game to survive. It's unbelievable that you can't seem to appreciate that.
