I would almost say it is more of a gaming philosophy than a personal opinion. The way movement is now is, to me, more of a by gone era.. classic nostalgic and perhaps reminiscent of older but great games.

My philosophy is more about current trends and technological boundary pushing (in regards to software), thus incorporating physics based realistically animated model rigs, etc.

I see dust as developed as such because they just plain don't know any better and are stuck in a bygone era... and it shows. Am I wrong? I guarantee if they had coders that were going my more modern development route it would have carried through to every facet of the game and we'd be far more wowed right now. So I might be biased is various ways outside of game play.

But I will tell you this, the game, despite your objections, would become instantly more tactical and immersive with changes towards making bipedal movement more in line with physical realities of bipedal movement. Realistic physics are a good thing in a game, and there is a reason, as a technology, that it has taken off and permeated every modern game.

1. Yes it would, but not entirely.
- Retreating is slower; that decision to push is a bigger one that you must fully commit to if you can't undo it as fast as you did it.
- Circle or GêP strafing may be borked; strafing is another dumb mechanic perhaps? Not sure if I believe that, but I wouldn't miss it.

2. The intent is to fix certain things in a way that make sense. "Fixing" specific things directly coz it's a bigger job to do it properly is a hack and will bite later on. Making knives longer...pshhh. Don't get me wrong I'm glad they're trying to improve it and I look forward to playing with knives (oh yeah) in Charlie, but I'd rather it be done by fixing the obvious reasons it's broken.

3. No harder than any other suit I don't think.

All in all, I think everything gets more tactical if it were changed. I think that would be a good thing. But sure something could go horribly wrong. I really appreciate your presentation of your argument BTW :)

TL;DR
With my logic, by association, anything that is a thing coz 100% backpedal speed, is broken. This I admit. I wonder whether we'd be wanting to change other stuff if, from the very beginning, the merc on the ground walked backwards at a slower speed than forwards. I'd humbly suggest nobody would be saying mercs should walk backwards full pelt so they could circle strafe!

Paraphrasing like a GoBang

And as I said to Mollerz, I think there's a lot of other changes that could be made which would have a far more significant impact on tactical gameplay.

Have to share this kingthunderdouche video. Watch him get sliced and diced multiple times, blame his deaths on lag, and then claim that nova knives are OP.

I might have missed it, but where were these other changes that could be made?
Or were they the, "i'm just making **** up because I don't agree," hypothetical changes?

I'd care about being rude but there's just too much bullshit floating about today.

hit detection, sprint bug, rendering faults, lag issues, shared tac net

haha.. with Zns no less.

The game is laggy as ****, but that's to the detriment of the scout.

@ Broker

I'd also like to see these addressed, but wouldn't most of them require client-side update?

* hit detection
* sprint bug
* rendering faults
* lag issues <----------------- This might be handled server-side
* shared tac net
* vehicle representation <----------------- Not sure what you mean here
* match making <----------------- This might be handled server-side
* scanning drop off
* equipment lag[/s
* equipment adhesion <----------------- Not sure what you mean here
* fixing FW <----------------- Not sure what you mean here

More than likely...

Vehicle representation is vehicles only being appearing on tac net within 10m of most suits: thusly

Equipment adhesion is REs sticking to what they're thrown at and not mysteriously floating in mid air or consistently sliding up to the top of installations

Fixing FW is more to promote tactical gameplay, as it was (up until the loyalty store killed it) the poor man's PC, and promoted organised squads, team play, and specialised fits. So either replacing ISK rewards or upping the loyalty rewards/reducing the loyalty cost for items.

Not saying these are on the cards, just some of the things I find immersion breaking or are a barrier to good tactical play.

The only changes I see in that whole slew of things would be removing shared TacNet. The rest is just minor improvements to the game that shouldn't have any affect on tactics

fixing broken parts of the game doesn't change the fundamental way it is played.

Faction Warfare is a forever broken system. You get to chose which side you are on. More people end up queuing up for the sides with the higher percentage of wins. FW is probably in its most balanced state right now, because it gives priority to those in squad.

They'd certainly increase immersion when you aren't dealing with a problem that makes you complain about the game mechanics every other minutes, but that doesn't change the tactics on the field.

@ Shotty, from updates during the beta we have seen changes to both Ambush spawn locations and Matchmaking system. That should imply that it is server side.

FW is a platform to support tactical play, that currently doesn't exist for most players. Prior to the introduction of the loyalty store, FW was quite balanced and hard fought. The fights were a league above Pubs, because the players made a conscious choice to be there and more often than not often played in organised groups, but lacked the min/max play of PC. Between the Amarr and Minmatar loyalists at least. Now it barely exists.

That's the wrong way to make a game.

Indeed the game is laggy, but there was no lag causing his deaths. If you look in the comments he claims the gal scout got needed because he started using it (lulz) and that we are part of the reason people quit the game.
I think it may be time for another scout troll of his channel

After playing last night, when at times my CR would do no damage, or damage would come in late, etc. I just don't care about backpedal speed. The game is just fundamentally ****** up and always will be. You guys have heard me ***** a lot over the last year, but have I been wrong about anything? I'll make it easy- no I have not.

So, given my hot streak of making CCP predictions here is two more.

1) Legion is going right back down the same dark dev path dust did, and I think it will ultimately fail.

2) CCP will have a new CEO within two years.

DO IT!!!
