Kaeru Nayiri Ready to Play 1	Posted - 2015.06.06 08:09:00 - [1] - Quote The Small Blaster: Give it some aim assist in the meanwhile until it can be reworked. Shield Booster Glitch: (The glitch occurs if you take any damage during the cycle time of the shield booster, after which, no shield HP is replenished at all, though shield regen kicks in the following second) Make Shield Boosters give their HP instantly. In other words, remove the 1 second cycle time. This will not have any sort of huge impact on the game and will solve the problem for now. I am hoping both of these can be done without a named hotfix. Thank you for reading ! Know what cannot be known.
Derpty Derp Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.06.06 10:43:00 - [2] - Quote Do people even use the small blaster? It's pretty good... You can kill infantry quite quickly at a decent range... Even the basic version... Instead of "Aim assist" I suggest... Just aiming. Perhaps this is a reason to kill off the "Aim assist" as it seems people have become a little too reliant on it.

Perhaps this is a reason to kill off the "Aim assist" as it seems people have become a little too reliant on it. There's an issue with firing small turrets as side gunner of a vehicle. Most people are unaware of how it works / why it happens. I've been studying it closely and relaying the info to CCP through CPM, with videos and whatnot. Most people don't know what makes the glitch or that it's even happening so this type of response is natural. It is my assessment that aim assist, for the small blaster alone, could help tremendously as a temporary solution until the netcode for vehicle side gunners can be looked at (if ever).

Zaria Min Deir 0uter.Heaven 1	Posted - 2015.06.07 18:22:00 - [6] - Quote As someone with some experience gunning from a dropship, I can attest that most of the time "just aiming" is almost irrelevant, if the dropship in question is moving at all. And, no, it is not always a question of adjusting to the movement either, with the small blaster the gunner's reticule and where the shots actually land rarely coincide except when perfectly still, and there is no actual visual feedback to use to make corrections, as you can do with missiles. The shield booster not working reliably needs to be fixed, whether it is a bug or a feature, the way it operates (or not) currently is unacceptable. I think these minor changes Kaeru suggests are more than reasonable. Have you considered installing the improved keyboard? "Go Go Power Rangers!"

"It's pretty good" but not nearly as good as the other options available. Still not worth taking over a Railgun. in it's current iteration, I will have to agree. Due to the position glitch between operator and gunner, Vehicles have to be perfectly still. This is even more true for the hitscan turrets because there is absolutely no visual feedback you can rely on (gunner's client straight up lies). Because of this, both railgun and blaster need the vehicle to be perfectly still in order to hit infantry. The Blaster kills infantry infinitely faster than the railgun does, but because you need to be perfectly still in both cases, setting up the kill takes the same amount of time (dropship specific). With all of that in mind, it makes more sense to use the railgun, from a safer distance, instead of the blaster. Know what cannot be known.

Derpty Derp Dead Man's Game 1	Posted - 2015.07.04 06:39:00 - [14] - Quote Personally, I always just thought the camera didn't always align with the sight, possibly similar to the ads 3rd person camera when you have terrain close up behind yourself and have to guess at where to point the camera. This is because it's not only when you're moving. When parked at an angle you can point a railgun right at someone standing still and it will miss completely, but move it off target slightly and suddenly you're getting random headshots, lol.

Kaeru Nayiri Ready to Play 1	Posted - 2015.07.06 20:53:00 - [16] - Quote Even more than aim assist on small blasters, I would like to underline how important removing the 1 second cycle time can be to the shield booster. This will not make the modules better or worse, as they are balanced around their cool downs. This should completely eliminate the bug that makes them not function if you take damage during the cycle. See vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4_ohYc3QBM Know what cannot be known.
