But an experience just now has shown me that thanks to some entirely f'd up occlusion it's damn near impossible to hit the driver.
I was sitting in the middle of a skirmish map when this guy pulls up to the objective in a LAV and tries to drive it up the hill the objective is on. He can't figure out that he either doesn't have enough speed or there's something blocking him so he just slowly pushed up the hill before slowly reversing and trying again and again and again.
He was the easiest target you could find in a LAV that wasn't parked and he had SIX people that were at the objective emptying magazine after magazine right into him. His personal shield dropped by maybe 1/6 during the entire time. I stood straight in front of the LAV shooting directly at his head until he was so close he killed me going 1mph and his shield didn't even budge.
I know object occlusion is a problem in this game but come on. You have to give people not using AV gear even the slightest fighting chance instead of leaving the open drivers seat of a LAV covered in invisible bulletproof glass. Assuming each time you hit a driver it does headshot damage to them, that is a lot right there. LAV turrets for some reason hit me hard when i'm driving my lav, same with tanks. The only reason I die from driving my lav if a tank shoots my lav, it somehow reaches me, or if a blaster/railgun turrets hits me, only if i'm facing it.
Are some people even reading the OP?
Really? If I want to kill someone in a LAV the solution is to shoot them? It's no wonder I never came up with such a complex strategy before.
It doesn't matter how many headshots you line up dead center if unless you're at some optimal angle the hitbox for the LAV occludes the players hitbox.

It is difficult to shoot them, no doubt. I generally try hitting them from the side, seems to work better (for me at least). |

This.
This thread is the kittening reason I hate the DUST forums and 75% of the forum goers on it.
THE MAN COMPLAINS ABOUT VEHICLE HITBOXES FOR PASSENGERS, AND YOU REPLY TO JUST GET OUT AV AND DESTROY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE.
HOW. DOES. THAT. PERTAIN TO ANYTHING HE IS SAYING?!?!
You freaking DUST fanboi sploogers are the absolute worst. A kittening CCP-labeled bowling ball could hit you in the face because you didn't move but you would blame lack of protective headgear as to why it hit you instead of the fact that you didnt move. This game is consistently screwed because of ******** like you that make excuses and pat CCP on the back and try to ignore the heaping pile of dung that is DUST 514.
I cannot stand this game in the first place because of how intolerably bad it is (I would rather fry my brain to mush on freaking **** of Doody than this crap), but the players and forumites who defend and distract from the problems at hand make it truly masochistic to play or try and give relevant helpful feedback.
Alright. Deep breath.

I understand your frustration, but it would be a lot more productive, and subsequently, a lot more satisfying to simply call out bad posters by name. Nothing inspires reform like shame. |

Theres too many of them. I spent the better part of the closed beta writing out threads full of feedback and ideas onky to have most ignored and at the worst trashed completely. I am done. I jusr need to calm down a bit... And watch this game fall to pieces in front of my eyes as I hoped it never would... |

Narrative is important, there is no bait in a ludic way of telling things. And if people missed the reference, then they-¦re too young, if they-¦re to young, then they-¦re most likely part of a group that is used to a certain way of gaming that older people have. With one reference we can estimate a little bit of anthropological context of the reader. And i don-¦t know what you were taught, but name calling is just rude. You could have saved yourself a paragraph of sperg by just typing "hurf blurf grr mad". You can do better than this mate.
I'm sure I could. The question, however, is why would I put in the effort when you couldn't be asked to actually read the OP and fully comprehend it. Low effort trolling deserves low effort responses.
Pearls before swine and all that. |
