Aim assist isn't nearly as game breaking as people are trying to make it out to be, and if you observe who is actually complaining about it vs who are praising it, you'll notice a pretty hilarious trend. God forbid we help new players out at all.

the few who currently play, and who are complaining then who cares? We flush them out.


CCP won't cater to 1000 'hardcore' players over, lets say 5000 if they joined and stuck around because of aim assist.

Whether aim assist needs adjusted higher, lower, changed in it's methods or what have you is superfluous detail. If more players like it than not, and it is the standard set by every other AAA shooter than you can be sure it will be staying and iterated on.

Not to mention that those vets mostly came from EVE who played with KB/M more and CCP must gain the audience of those who on PS3 who play with DS3. Once/if dust is on computer then they can focus on both playing methods.

The massive decrease in TTK has been rough. My KD really only suffered for about 3 games until I stopped and went "okay I'm doing something wrong. Things have changed." Since then I'm doing just as well, if not better.

Well, my scout suit has seen better days.

I've had much more fun coordinating attacks, ambushes, and with matches in general with the new patch. Now it's actually nerve racking to cross the street, not for fear of an LAV but of getting picked off before you can get to cover. It's made this immortal feel mortal. ;)

Hopefully that logic works out for CCP, I agree they need to attract more console players (But they need to do it with out losing the vets) will those console players invest the time and money us vets have..?

CCP Has/Had us vets and a lot of us were paying on a monthly if not weekly basis, hopefully this new blood you speak of can muster up $5 off their mom and dads visa...

If you are caught in a 4v1, you should lose the fight. You picked a bad fight / you were outmaneuvered / Space Jesus wasn't smiling upon you at that moment. God mode rambo'ing doesn't belong here.

'Course, this argument probably doesn't sit well with you, in which case we're just battling opinions and neither of us will get anywhere.

Dust 514 lost about 500 players do to 1.4 But I would say it's because the matchmaking was broken on patchday and it was almost impossible to get into matches. A shame. But now it works and you can actually do Faction Warfare. I guess with 1.5 we'll see more players.

Vets won't be going anywhere. You're already MMO riddled addicts. Any threat of leaving is empty, or at best temporary as everyone here knows.

Besides, people playing this game right now are not playing because it's good. They're playing because they believe it might be good in 6+ months or epic after a year or so. A little thing like aim assist won't be ruining their vision for Dust. Especially when you factor in every other game that uses AA to perhaps even greater degrees. Where was that lovely list somebody made linking youtube videos to Halo, Battle Front, CoD, etc.

People dont seem to understand this, People joining because of 1.4 aimbot are going to leave once CoD Ghost or BF4 or any other big name game comes out.

The vets will leave because CCP wont listen to them

and then the game will have nobody

So true. Just the other day I told myself I was going to quit. Wouldn't you know it, I woke up this morning and turned on the PS3... I can't quit. I still have hope, and the potential is still looming in the near future. I know where Eve started, and where it is today. I'd feel like **** if Dust does the same, I just hope it doesn't take 8 years like Eve, LOL!

As a Masshole, I don't really get the benefit of AA, but I sure did die a lot more at first release. But lately, I've been adjusting, making sure I'm exposed much less, and doing much better. Only lopsided teams bring me more then 3 deaths now.

Most of the AA whiners fail to mention the drastically improved hit detection. AA aside, the fact that the bullets actually register hits now is what kills you the quickest. My SMG has actually killed a few softened heavies lately. Before it was definitely a futile exchange...

I love killing heavies with an SMG. It feels so good to kill an HMG heavy with one.

Don't fool yourself ... Dust 514 have just committed suicide, any future chance of a Dust / EvE connection have banish, FPS vets are leaving the game in hourly basics, and the critics are going to eat CCP alive for what they just done.

But I've been doing this since forever? Militia SMG with no SP at that. It's a good gun. lol

I only recently got a sidearm. I love the SMG.

It's pretty solid, but to be honest I have not played much with any side arms to compare their usefulness / playstyles
