I'd really like to see CCP getting new player feedback on this. We vets are accustomed to the old aiming dynamics and are biased.

The entire motivation for the new system is that the game feel natural and enjoyable to new visitors to DUST.

Anybody heard any feedback on aiming from noobs who joined us for Uprising?

New players are going to need to get used to a new aiming system regardless of what the game uses. Why, then, wouldn't we just use the same system all the people who are already playing (which is a lot) use so they don't have to learn something new as well?

I've seen plenty of threads about how bad the aiming is. I don't think it's better for new people because if it was simply a matter of adapting to the new feel, it would be okay, but the aiming system itself doesn't seem consistent and feels broken.

Just revert it so we can all go on our merry way and this build can be playable.

Chromosome was much better.
KB/M player. 100% aim assist off. Can't hit anything, mouse jumps or stalls when it likes to.
I hope this wasn't intentional to make kb/m equal to DS3, because this is a shooter and people shouldn't nerf something just because others refuse to use the dominant FPS input device. If so, you made it worse. And what are people saying about this being similar to other shooters - no shooter has sensitivity issues like these. I won't play if they fail to get the aim back to normal.

DS3.

I'm finding Uprising a lot easier to adapt to that Chromosome was. Things are starting to feel natural already as muscle memory re-trains itself.

I believe the source of the outcry over aiming in uprising is primarily because people aren't giving themselves time to adapt - it takes more than a few hours for adaptation to a new aiming system to happen, regardless of whether it's better or worse.

The second factor is because many peeps haven't realized that rotation acceleration is in effect and so the behavior of their mercs seems unpredictable. Tbh i'm finding movement at full speed with fast cornering a lot more enjoyable now. When everything has gelled i know this build will feel head and shoulders above Chromosome. In fact, it already does.

Here's a piece of data for you Wolfman: With Chromosome, i spent a lot of time in the controller settings screen, did a fair bit of reading on the forums, turned on aim assist, which i normally never use, just to get things to 'feel' right.

I kid you not, but I don't even know what the controller settings screen looks like in Uprising because i haven't needed to use it. Maybe i could tune things even better for myself, but it's honestly feeling like a moot point because my muscle memory is adapting to the new control scheme very quickly. Whatever you peeps have done, this clone is adapting to it with little effort or conscious thought.

My two cents on the matter is hang tight and give peeps a couple of weeks to adapt. You devs can see the controller response curve and know what the rotational inertias and torques for the suits are, and you know its far closer the the physics that nature has equipped us to handle and master than what we had before. Trust in your work a little longer and give us peeps time to adapt.

P.S. I honestly don't see what the problem is with showing us the controller response function and laying out the details of the physics of the suits, it would make a great geeky devblog. Looking at the guts of a system can really help people adapt to a new and seemingly alien dynamics, it makes the inexplicable familiar and natural.

New players - because it was the aiming in Chromosome that was different to most other fps titles out there. With Uprising, CCP has aligned the controls in DUST with what peeps should be more familiar with. Personally, what we have now reminds me a lot of killzone 2.

I'f I'm right about this new peeps should get a better 'feel' from the game - awkward controls were one of the primary complaints of peeps who tried Chromosome and never came back.

Vets goot used to the old wonky control mechanics, but that doen't mean they were good.

aiming too slow? this isnt COD... nuff said

Hi guys,

We are looking in to this. It would be extremely useful if you could report the control method you are using, the specific settings you have (sensitivity, smoothing on etc) and the issues you are experiencing with those specific settings. This way we can test your settings ourselves to help isolate potential issues.

Cheers

New aiming sux nothing was wrong with the old way don't fix what's not broken
