Hello
I like the game. I'm curious about a few things.
o Ive had my sniper dot on a stationary opponent and shot multiple times and missed. Is it a known bug that sometimes aim is off? Likewise with LAV turrets.
o Is there a way to switch your forum avatar or game icon? For instance the icon shown for me on left is not the suit I wear and it appears to be the default suit.
o Are there plans for updating the UI? It would be nice to be able to scale your minimap. It appears that the minimap is the same size for pilots as ground forces. Considering the speed difference between LAV, soldier and dropship it would be nice if the minimap changed in size relative to speed, or simply allow you to resize it. Indicators for groundspeed, altitude would be nice for vehicles as well.
o there are bugs with the game regarding lag and groups. It seems that if you have a squad using voice chat and one of the squad members drops, the remaining team members will have a lagfest until the match is over. Seriously it is around 5FPS during time.
o And the most important thing of all. Is there any plans for simple MMO social emotes? /dance anyone?

Range limits are one possibility. Another is, if the target was moving, the fact that the game has server-side hit detection. If you line up on a target and pull the trigger while they're moving, the time it takes for your "I shoot this spot" signal to reach the server means the target has already moved on and isn't in the position you shot. Basically, you need to lead your shots based on latency rather than bullet travel time.

Your forum and in-game avatar will always be either your marked "favourite" suit or your chosen race's default suit.

The game is going to be constantly under development for the forseeable future. Everything is subject to change if there's good reason for it. I'm not sure this particular complaint is entirely legitimate - I'd like to see varying minimap ranges based on your suit's scanning capabilities, personally.

Plenty of lag-related bugs. Oddly, I haven't actually seen this one personally, but other people in my group have. We've lost a player, and everyone other than me got a lagfest.

A fairly common request, but I'm sure it's a low-priority one in the face of many balance issues and other problems with the game. |

Regarding the aim problems. I've literally been just a few meters from a player who is hacking a node, lined up on them with the sniper rifle and taken a shot and it missed. Taken another shot and it missed. They did not seem to be moving and when they completed the hack they turned to take me out with automatic rifile fire.
I still enjoy playing a sniper, but seriously playing a sniper is the only way to play this game in "hard mode".
Regarding bugs. Today when I log on and play, I'm going to keep a record of how many matches I play and the results. Yesterday, I have a lot of disconnects. I'll be honest I love this game, I see that it could be something special and unique, but I fear its still in beta. |

Regarding glitches, I get a lot with vehicles. The vehicles get stuck and will not move. Once you exit the vehicle you can not get back in them or recall them. Once, I noticed a vehicle got stuck. I exited the vehicle, walked 10-20 meters away and then I saw the message about entiering or exiting the vehicle.

Sounds like you are catching the lag bug pretty bad. Setting your server to your region helps. Not using Wi-Fi helps. Resetting ps3 every hour or two helps. Reinstalling dust, could help..
For example. I'm American, and find it near impossible to play on asian server most times. |
