Why the hell should my forge gun miss? This isn't technology being developed now, this is ridiculously far into the future compared to now. We don't have exo suits for war, we're testing exo suits to give people back some mobility after suffering severe trauma to their nervous system.

IF I'M MISSING THE SUIT ISN'T WORTH IT AT ALL. At that, why do snipers have greater range than a forge gun? It's the same damn technology.

If you want to move this CCP, then move it, but don't bury it. You'll end up being like the bigger developers that don't care about the people they're entertaining.

Srs or troll?

I think he's complaining why auto aim doesn't seem to help him hit things. I think he got spoiled by Eve having targetting computers shooting for you. LOL

So what you're saying is... you want Auto Aim? Ahahahahaha!

Awful lot of forge gun threads today.

I don't play EVE. I can't justify the money to put towards it, or the extreme hours when playing guitar for 8 hours a day would be better worth my time.

Playing like Joe Satriani > owning in EVE

Why would this be a trolling thread? I threw it up here because my shots were missing by stupid margins because I'm trying to avoid being hit by a tank. I'm not saying I shouldn't miss at all, but it's stupid to call it a powered exo suit if the case is such that I can't hit at all while I'm trying to avoid being hit. Maybe they should just give us a medieval suit of armor and leave it at that, since so many people want the heavy class removed from Dust. Because, that is their end game with so many nerfs, which is the same thing they want done with tanks.

Dropsuits aren't powerd exo suits ...

The game already has aim assist. Are you stupid? How could you possibly think that's what I wanted? In your mind, wanting more accuracy = wanting auto aim?

Cracks neck attempts translation.

Why in the hell does a forge gun miss a heavy suit? I mean seriously that target is the size of a barn and its entirely useless and seriously why is my heavy suit moving around like a crippled person, I am literally tripping over every rock sump and step. I mean we're 20k years in the future and we're supposed to be so highly advanced yet I am sure me and my buff self could do better job than this pos suit. My suits should be assisting me aim for amarr's sake!

Also why in the heck does my forge gun does not have the same range as the sniper rifles? Aren't they both railguns?

Finally CCP! Why are you taking so effing forever for the next build and fixing these stupid issues CCP!? If you don't fix these dust will die!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Rampant AI's that can get hacked and basically twist the suit's head around and off.
One of the main reasons we don't use the first generation Aegis proto-suits anymore, they where suspect-able to rogue drone hacking.

As for the forge gun.
Its not a railgun its a heavily modified mining bore blaster. Uses a very powerful electrical charge to de-harmonize materials in a nice bore hole shape, and in a most ore rocks and veins this would shatter an asteroid apart into easy to manage peice after a few blasts.

As for hitting a sniper, aim better. Its the whole reason your body has been programmed to handle any weapon. You still need actual experience with the weapon in order to utilize it to its best use.

CCP is very busy at work.

it's a caldari weapon, safe to assume it's a hybrid weapon of sorts

Dropsuits are more like diving suits, they're very tight fitting and even have plumbing connections!

Then the armor padding is placed then woven in is all the circutry and power and systems such as shields and sensors, then armor plating, Only the heavy suit has additional servos mostly in the back and arms and legs for lifting.

Hence the gravity generated core for the kinetic damage :P Its not exactly a black hole gun but its pretty close for the limited tech we have now.

i can take a sh.it in my heavy?

WHY HAVE I BEEN HOLDING IT IN ALL THIS TIME?!?!!?!?

if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, tastes like a duck.......

Wait so that deep core mining invention is classed as a blaster, not a railgun? Are you sure it's not some sort of, hybrid weapon

-_-

you never answered my question saber

and we caldari live off of sweat blood and tears

So you are complaining you're missing? A forge gun uses velocity as a weapon it needs to actually hit to do all that damage. There is no explosives beyond the kinetic energy used in the weapon. Even with a muzzle velocity of 7k m/s you won't even know its there unless you're hit by it. I am not a heavy sooo aim at their feet?

Tell me something I don't already know.

Sit still when you let the shot go.

If you're aiming for a tank that's waaaaay far away, then crouch.

If you're shooting at infantry then be sure to aim for the feet.

Its is a hybrid weapon, just the gravity generated is sufficient enough to have mass. It just causes a large amount of kinetic damage unlike most traditional energy weapons which causes thermal and explosive like damage.

because snipers complainged about it due to us forge gunners doubling as excellent counter-snipers

they can shot gun gank us AND pop off our heads at 2km, but us have the same capabilities? oh no, rather then learn how to counter our counter, they went and whined to ccp

Aim assist isn't Auto Aim. So you missing = game is inaccurate? Yeah, we do have some problems with hit detection, but that has nothing to do with you having sh*tty aim with a forge gun.

Last I remember reading, the guns in Dust are powerful enough that they would rip off the arm of someone shooting them without suit, so considering they're so powerful, how aren't they powered exo suits? With what you said, they're no better than today's SCUBA dry suits.

LOL Have you been in a battle with me, on either side?

lol, balanced game

someone's hallucinating

Aim better?

Or Agumentations..

Your skeleton is made of titanium.

go away spkr, this thread had been highjacked and derailed into a forge gun convo!

(^_^)

Nope, but I've been hit by enough Forge Guns to know that there are some very good users out there, apparently you're not one of them.

Stop being a ******.

So what you want is the forge gun to kill everything in one shot? With a muzzle velocity of 7k m/s is Mach 9 on Earth at sea level. A round with that much kinetic energy would invert whatever it hit with the pressure wave behind it. It would collapse buildings. Suck tank crews out the tiny exit hole. Scatter multiple bodies depending on the the path it was fired from. Balanced game play won't include an end all be all weapon.

So how would you know I'm not one of them if you haven't been in a game with me? That's like saying you can ice skate, then falling every 10 seconds when you do get on the ice.

I started it as a forge gun conversation. Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

You set yourself up for that one. I saw the opening and just slide right in there. It was for the lulz. Don't be so srs it's not healthy. A decent player would have laughed.

I made the thread when I was pissed off because I couldn't hit a tank that's close enough to hit with rocks without a suit on.

So you where the one being a.... well I am to polite to call you that. So I shall whiny brat. And this forum is brutal make a post in rage and they will gobble you up like tomorrow and then feast on your tears.... and bone marrow.

Cough* Logi suit is a space station repair suit... Its just a heavier armored version and better fitting of space suits nasa uses.

mmmm bone marrow....oh wait, i'm not an ammar

The lore entry notes that it has a power assisted skeleton.

Or, it did. I can't find it on the official sight anymore.

Its is a hybrid weapon, just the gravity generated is sufficient enough to have mass. It just causes a large amount of kinetic damage unlike most traditional energy weapons which causes thermal and explosive like damage.

Correct me if I am wrong Wolf, but don't energy weapons traditionally cause thermal and EM damage?

no, you're right

So you figuratively cant hit the broad side of a barn?

Because running heavy and scout require the same mindset. "No fu**s are given when I step on the field."
