[quote=frfqq]This game is already pretty complicated and unique for a console shooter. Couple that with the high strafe speed which creates difficult to master, unpredictable gunplay and your potential playerbase is pretty small, just EVE players and some hardcore shooter fans. Lower strafe speeds, more familiar-feeling mechanics will probably keep more players playing the game. Plus who knows if CCP will ever get the hit detection right, I would rather play it safe with easier to hit targets. Consistency is key in a competitive shooter, the last build was very inconsistent in its gameplay mechanics. Either the hit detection was on your side or you were dead, rockets would ramdomly fly at you from dropships camping on towers, etc

Btw I haven't looked into patch notes and am going off of threads I'm seeing pop up of the new build. Tomorrow will be my first time playing this game in a month, the last build got boring real quickly.

The only solution then is to completely overhaul shooting/movement mechanics. If the early builds were too much for a console shooter and this build may be too generic, then the base gameplay mechanics are simply flawed.

Whats depressing is the overbearing optimism of this playerbase over the last 4 builds. There have been so many fanboy threads that anything that is constructive criticism gets trolled and buried. So much brown nosing. So much circle jerking.

Now here we are 4 builds later. Very little has improved. We have some cool new mmo aspects. Shinier graphics. The gameplay is still complete garbage though and some aspects have actually gotten worse. At the playerbases request of course.

Game is trash and the playerbase is helping ccp ruin it by telling them "no this is great you guys are doing an amazing job."

The entire game/gun mechanics health strafe speed ect needs to be redone.

Hate finding myself on Protomans side but when someones right they are right

what a ****.
