Is this really necessary?
I mean players in cloak that are at close distance can already be detected visually - cloaks do not offer 100% cloaking, especially if you are running, and even if you are holding still someone can aim at you and his aim-cross is changing color to red -
is this auto-aim/aim-assist really necessary to all of this CCP?

It changes red but it doesn't sticky. Personally, until they make cloaks blue in all lighting sources I don't agree with making the reticle not red. How are we supposed to stop a player when the blue shimmer isn't visible as they sprint around.

Fix the blue shimmer and fix firing a weapon while still cloaked and then we can talk about removing the reticle. My god damn PLC or Forge gun takes like 2 seconds from being fired before I can fire my sidearm, why can someone fire immediately before the cloak even wears off?

It doesn't... that's why I'm actually able to evade when I'm cloaked... it's not cause they're blind, it's cause they have no auto-aim to make it easy mode.

Go play EVE online for at least week, then come back and tell me how cloaking suppose to work.

it does sticky...try testing it with an HMG (strongest aim assisted weapon in the game). You'll notice very quickly.

>Eve a sandbox space mmo
>Dust 514 a lobby shooter
>Mechanics should work the same.

What are you on about? You are everything that killed this game balance wise if you actually believe this is a valid argument. Let me guess our weapons should also auto lock like in Eve too huh?

I describe exactly in my first post 'what i'm on about' - aim-assist(how ever you call it) should not work on players that are currently cloaked, regardless of what they are doing.

Saying "go play eve" doesn't justify your cause, plus aim assist as its known is to help with the less accurate controllers on console games. And on a side note Eve is a sandbox space sim where auto aim is actually a thing since you have to lock on to your target so please take your logic and keep it to yourself.

And why shouldn't it?

I think that this is a terrible idea and condemn this thread to be biomassed. If you agree like this post.

And I don't agree that it matters, I think you are probably one of those players that blames all your deaths on auto aim. Auto aim mostly helps people running around IE scouts. I'm all for removing auto aim but I'm not for removing it only sometimes IE a cloak. Take it out or leave it in. None of this, I want to be able to auto aim dodge and spray a guy with my CR to death before he sees me then cloak and run away. Fix the cloak, then we worry about auto aim.

It do matters because with aim-assist cloaking is just cosmetic item. Of cures bonus to signatures matter, a lot. But aim-assist put us in the same line with others players that do not use cloaking, and they have more CPU/PG for tanking.

I'm not person that blame others for my mistakes. I understand how aim-assist works - it's not perfect - I understand that, it makes small correction on aim only when player will initiate right move, and it can be countered by a victim if he know how. This mechanic how ever ruins concept of cloaking, and I'm here to point it out and tell how ridicules it is.

You know, I'm playing EVE online for a few days and I think that telling someone that learning is cool, and pointing him right direction never caused anyone harm.

Cloaking works how it's works in DUST 514 because first of all we have different community then EVE online have. Do not even try to tell me about links that both games have and pointing out that it is more like one community.
It's not wise to put aim assist on consoles in to the same basket, because on BF and CoD it look different, it works different - DUST how ever is mix of both, like CCP want to tell potential customer that playing FPS never was more easy 'look aim-assist automatically aim on what you can't see on your own eyes! Is it not great?'.

There is a valley between cloaking in EVE online and DUST, in to level that it is even shame to call it cloaking in DUST.

Your post is confusing

it does sticky...try testing it with an HMG (strongest aim assisted weapon in the game). You'll notice very quickly.

With part?

The HMG is one of the few weapons that doesn't have auto-aim. (Forge, sniper rifle, MD, PLC are the others I can recall CCP saying don't have AA).

Saying "go play eve" doesn't justify your cause,(...)

Umm...yes it does

Try testing it out w/some friends

Weapons w/out AA are forge, sniper, PLC, MD, flay lock, and NK

Seriously you have the most OP suit and your complaining about auto-aim on a cloaked scout. WTF. Are your that terrible? The scout should be called scrub button. For all you have to do is put on a scout, cloak, and instant scrub is achieved.
