I would expect to see performance improvements in the patch notes for almost every release this year. It is a high priority for us.
The guys doing the balancing desperately need to keep their hands off tweaking the guns until hit detection and aiming are back to at least chromosome level
Tweaking them while those fundamental things are broken will just mean they will have to be monkeyed with again later on for a real proper balance and it just creates extra work and wastes time and resources to do it backwards |

I would expect to see performance improvements in the patch notes for almost every release this year. It is a high priority for us. But you should not do both at the sametime. Null I understand that you guys are trying to get things back on par, but this type of issue is more like a: Part A must be achieved before Part B can begin kinda get my point Except that you are not going to see a defining moment like you suggest, that suddenly performance and hit detection are "fixed". They will always be iterated upon and delaying balance work is just going to waste time and prevent us getting valuable feedback early. What you suggest sounds good in practice but it's just not the way that progress is made.
This is just such a flawed argument it gives me a headache
No one is asking for some mythical idea of "perfect" but only something that is acceptable and works as it should, Chromosome had problems but aiming and hit detection were what I would consider in the acceptable range
This idea of constantly tweaking and adjusting these core mechanics is asinine, Im sure one of you on the dev team has heard the phrase "if it aint broke dont fix it"
Find something that works and then leave it the **** alone, dont mess things up just to tell people "Look, we are still working on it" |

They took the old aiming system and tried to make some 'improvements" to it, these improvements made the aiming far worse than it's ever been. This is not a bug that randomly happens to a few select players, this is CCP touching something they should left alone. i have experienced no issues i didn't expect to have. and you only have to look at how long the thread is to gauge how much issue people have. aiming is the most important thing in a fps and if it was that bad the forums and this post would be swamped but they are not
You are discounting the make up of the playerbase, many of eve players whose last FPS experience was a decade or more ago so they dont notice any difference since its all they know now
Others who have played a wider variety of games or have played more FPS games in general see the problem like a flashing light
And hell then when you get to the forum itself most of the posters come from the first group and are more concerned with blaming the phantom of assault players for everything and crying OP since surprise surprise their experience is out of date and others have better playing ability |
