DUST Search - No HMG Fix? Despite Proven That It's Broken?!

Soooo having a pixel to aim with is not broken? And you call me stupid?

How about you become R.E.L.E.V.A.N.T. before calling someone names Blink

Oh btw, the HMG is suppose to have a cone of fire aka, bullet spread. The video also proved there's no bullet spread. "Knowing is half the battle" Blink

WOW, you still don't get it do you?

It doesn't matter what any "intent" was. What matters is how it works! Yes, the video proves there is no spread, does that mean it's broken? NO. It is very accurate, so use that to your advantage and stop trying to use it for the non-existent spray that is not there. And what is your beef with a pixel? An aiming sight is an aid in aiming. It doesn't matter if it's a pixel, a plus sign, an x, a square, a circle, a set of lines that snake into the distance, or whatever... Learn to use it correctly and you can hit the target every time.

Yes knowing is part of the battle, but in this case you know that the HMG is not a spray and pray weapon, but insist that it should be... I call that insanity.

So, let's use an (exaggerated) analogy to see how insanely pointless your arguments really are. Suppose CCP changes the HMG by making it work exactly like a sniper rifle. You know, semi-automatic, high damage, extremely long range, high power scope but no hipfire aiming reticule etc. And while all the mechanics of the HMG are actually that of a sniper rifle, CCP insists that it is in fact, a HMG (it looks like a HMG, after all). So, of course, people start complaining and whining that HMG isn't working as intended (or at least, as any intuitive reasoning would expect it to work). And your reply to them would be - "It doesn't matter what any "intent" was. What matters is how it works!" ? Really? Pulvereus ergo queritor.

Items, functions, tool, etc in (and sometimes outside of) the game are just that... tools for the players to determine how and when to put to best usage. If an HMG is a better sniper rifle, then guess what weapon snipers will end up using? Similarly, there is an option to add players to your contacts list and then see when they log in or not. In EVE you don't put your friends in this list, you put your war targets in this list... Then when they log in you know it and can either take precautions to be more careful or to track them down and kill them. It's a mechanic to let you keep track of your "friends" but it makes a much better tool to keep intel on your enemies. It doesn't matter how a game mechanic works, it just matters that you use it to your advantage. I am very well aware of the fact that in EVE, contact lists and local chat channels, are used as intel tools, and not for comms. However, even in EVE, you don't have autocannons that work like beam lasers. And if autocannons were made to work like beam lasers (for whatever reason), the ensuing shitstorm on EVE forums would be spectacular. Pulvereus ergo queritor.
