THis is rich comming from (at least a corp) who claimed that a post from an imperfect should be attributed to all of the imperfects because you represent your corp.........

the problem is the so called elite vets think this is their game, and aren't very good at adaptation...

Anyone know any good FPS to play, because I've finally realized Dust isn't one anymore...

I'm beginning to appreciate how people think they can continue to play the exact same way after significant changes and expect to do well. Especially when you can see this video, and see that strafing wider would help, or sprinting one way, stopping and shooting, and sprinting some more would be better than the tight strafing that people are used to.

Payday 2 is pretty dope.
And its not an FPS, but War Thunder is f2p on steam. Its ok.

I don't think the corp ever said this... a member may have... but that was his/her opinion... not the corps.

The "elite vets" are the ones who have been playing the longest, and have given CCP the most amount of money thus far. Having such a dramatic core change to a game they've been playing for months is bound to get some backlash.

Also, there is no "adaption." There's no "well now do this! problem solved". The adaption you speak of is "have more health and get the first shot off". Lol, "adaption."

Not just your members...your (I assume) directors said this all the time. I assume they were your directors because they are people who have been with Dust U for a very very long time.

In fact your corp along with Zion and STB were the worst at constantly stating that when you post your representing your corp. There were others too but people from those 3 corps were the worst.

look I have spent A LOT of money on this game, and EVE. I think the issue here is not realizing that CCP tends to drastically change their games from build to build, if you play eve you understand this.

this game is a work in progress and it will be vastly different a year from now from what it is today...

the lesson here is don't get comfortable.

I read your reasons for why you think its a bad change, but your reasons come from a perspective of "you changed the way my game works"... its not yours, or mine and lets face it the way it was wasn't winning any awards...and they have a long way to go still.

the main reason why I think the new aim mechanics are good is because it has made the game more competitive and brutal...new players can jump in and be useful and feel powerful, old vets can adapt and use their knowledge of maps, and vast sp to still gain an edge.

so you cant proto stomp anymore... big deal...was that such a good thing for the game?... so you die quicker, well, so does everyone else...this game has been complained about constantly and I personally believe 1.4 is a turning point... no its not perfect, yes it needs tweaking, but the best reasons the anti AA people have come up with for turning it off is they die quicker, scrubs can aim now, and proto isn't worth using in a pub....to me these sound like all good reasons to keep it.

this is coming from someone who before 1.4 had his best game at 41/9 with a shotty and REs and an average game of 15-20/6-10 only using BP fits and spent over 400$ on dust alone. now my average game is 12/10 AND im using proto half the time just to hold ground or advance a point before switching back to BPs... its effing brutal and I like it

I stopped reading when you tried o defend aim assist as a balancing mechanic for new players. With that logic, a starter frigate should be allowed to shoot down a Titan in EVE.

lol a t2 frig with max skills couldn't down a titan... bad analogy

PS: Big fan of the Uni's efforts in uptraining our newcomers, by the way. Keep up the good work. o7

Too bad they indoctrinate them with nooblogic so they actually think they have real skills in this game. Noobs teaching noobs doesn't make anyone play better, notice how DU is all for AA, makes their efforts actually seem like they worked, when in fact they never actually got better at anything. IF you want to learn2aim pick up old school goldeneye, perfect dark, or CS and learn to aim overtime. Its not a difficult skill to develop.

Ummm while I agree with you, I'm pretty sure he spelled adaptation right and it was you, in fact, who misquoted and misspelled it. Read your posts before you make yourself look like an idiot.

@Cosgar
Not really, your proto suit still has the significant edge. The DPS/armor and equipment difference is very noticeable. Bullets kill, that is the way it should be, if you slip up your movement and positioning or choke your shots and he gets ya that is on you. If you rush in take out 2 of his buddies and have to reload and he takes you out its still on you. if you 1v1 and he lands head shots and you land body and he beats you it means he beats you. Suck it up. And the economy was always based on running PRO suits for PRO matches, its costs are supposed to be significant to warrant that you don't use it all the time. Its like using your Mclaren for street racing, Save it for Le Mans there buddy. And if your good and can aim better you can run STD and or MLT and win. Just get heatshots there vet or play smarter with all your experience. Not to mention you have friends with injectors that can help you out and keep you from losing so many suits. Plenty of options available to you. And I can still proto stomp solo and make money when I play smart and dont make bad calls, and I am a heavy, so what is your excuse exactly?

Fact is heavies are better at making good tactical decisions then any other class. Why? well for one our suits used to cost more then DOUBLE a PRO assault suit. We cant run away so if meet a group of enemies we have to win, Choking has always cost heavy's more so we are used to the stress of this type of gameplay. We have to hit our targets because we have been a nerfed class for so long and we have the biggest uphill battle in pro PC then any other class.

What your experiencing now? that tight feeling in your chest in a fight and that dull throbbing in the back of your mind. Welcome to my entire dust experience. Get used to it.

There is a famous racing saying Minutes are cheap but seconds will cost ya, the same applies to PRO gear.

The aim-assist in Chromosome was very different .This one tracks the target, the one in Chromosome "adjusted" your aim, two different things.

Neg lrn 2 aim is hard. I want the game to do it for me so I can be on a similar playing field as someone who has spent years playing games that hone their hand eye coordination.

Meh I still run proto gear only and I run isk neutral/positive.

Then why should a militia suit be able to kill a proto as fast another militia? Makes all that SP, time, and ISK invested pointless, huh?
Aim assist is supposed too assist aim. Matchmaking is supposed to prevent proto stomps. Don't confuse the two unless you want to see this kind of balancing applied to EVE as well.

Wow that really is a bad analogy... A frigate is like a scout and a titan is like... the MCC. Proto gear does not turn your suit into a titan.

A militia suit does not kill proto as fast as another militia. The difference is more subtle now, but that's a good thing. SP should (and does) give you an edge in combat, but not decide the winner beforehand. Otherwise it would just be a game of who played the longest and has the saddest real life (like too many MMOs are).

+1 I hate people who get carried by time in, SP should help you play more dynamically and in new and interesting ways, it should not be a I win button and it should not carry players who have no head on their shoulders. It should subtly affect the danger level of combat raising the stakes and making it even more important that when you wear the best you play the best.

SP is definitely no longer an I win button........AA is the current I win button.
