CCP Nullarbor C C P C C P Alliance 1514	Posted - 2013.06.29 23:10:00 - [7] - Quote So the guys doing the balancing are not the same people who work on frame rate and performance. Fortunately this means we can work on both at the same time. 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

They can balance things now to work better within the current environment and redo everything later, or don't balance things and redo everything later either way. I'd rather they make the best out of it instead of sitting there, waiting for something to do.

THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD 67	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:13:00 - [11] - Quote Hit detection is solid, as long as your internet isn't bad. Though, the aiming is awkward if you're coming from a game with more smooth aiming.
Princeps Marcellus Expert Intervention Caldari State 61	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:23:00 - [12] - Quote Imagine that you have a guy (Bob) who loves talking to people but can't handle computers at all, and a girl (Alice) who can fix up computers nearly instantly, but absolutely hates talking to people. They form a company with the goal of fixing peoples' computers and making money off it. As you'd expect, Bob handles the front desk, the cash register, or whatever they happen to have at their business. He talks the costumers up and makes sure that they have a good experience at Alice and Bob's Pooter Palace. Alice fixes up and tinkers around with computers in the back of their little building, where all the parts and tools and broken computers are. Now, while you could theoretically get Alice and Bob both working in the back, that would be an absolutely horrible idea because Bob is just going to sit there uselessly. He has no idea what a motherboard is, let alone a graphics card. You could get Alice and Bob both working on the store front, but that would also be a total waste of worker resourcefulness, because Alice doesn't know Bleep about interacting with people. She'd be more likely to scare customers away than bring 'em in. What you're describing is essentially this. You're want to get people who are good at one job and put them to work on something entirely different. Why would you do that? It's useless. You squeeze more usefulness putting them to work on something that they're actually good at. -Princeps Marcellus, Forum Patrol

Though, the aiming is awkward if you're coming from a game with more smooth aiming. What would you consider not bad internet? I'm using Comcast cable internet and I normally get 20-25 down,and 4.5 up(just did a speed test right now and I'm getting 35 down and 5.5 up) with 28 ping.Now of course,that's locally,but I don't know what I'm getting on Dust's server. Anyone know the IP address to the server so I can ping it for a speed test?

CCP Nullarbor C C P C C P Alliance 1537	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:33:00 - [14] - Quote You can use these IP addresses to check your ping against each region. Europe: 5.10.86.104 US: 50.97.153.36 Asia: 216.185.108.171 Australia: 27.50.71.26

5aEKUXeRJGJ27kCDnDVYak3 Kinsho Swords Caldari State 279	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:34:00 - [15] - Quote Hit detection is no solid at all I'm afraid. My ping is perfectly fine (constantly monitored so I'm sure my internet is not the issue) and hit detection is wonky. I guess it also depends on which weapon you're using, as I have been pumping shotties into enemies faces without doing any damage.
5aEKUXeRJGJ27kCDnDVYak3 Kinsho Swords Caldari State 279	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:43:00 - [16] - Quote My ping to EU server is hovering within 16 to 20 ms. Dunno if the game actually connects me to the local region server though.

CCP Nullarbor C C P C C P Alliance 1544	Posted - 2013.06.30 00:58:00 - [17] - Quote For instant battle and academy matches we auto detect your region, or if you suspect this isn't working correctly you can set it manually in the options. There are exceptions to when this works though, for example joining a squad if your squad leader is in a different region or if a region is offline (doesn't happen very often). Faction warfare matches in the mercenary tab can also vary their region but you can tell your latency from the quality bars on the UI. Planetary conquest battles pick the best region for all the connected players.

Unless adding more people to that team wouldn't necessarily help it go any faster I say use them all on bugs and performance. I can deal adapt to OP weapons, I can't adapt to game breaking framerate and bad hit detection.

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.

Surely it's just some bugs causing the lag and framerate and hit detection to be debugged right? I mean... if it can't be fixed 100% I don't know what to say really. I mean, is it that hard to make a functional FPS?

Yes because feedback based on a system that is broken for reason other than the weapon stats is really valuable. After the **** show that was Uprising, i'm not really sure you guys know what "progress" and "wasting time" means.

Bad frame rate in particular is a fickle beast, we are working on fixing it from multiple different angles right now and progress is made in increments as ideas are tested and fixes work their way in to builds.

OP weapons can be bad too but we can try to find a way to deal with that until it is fixed. But working with an aiming mechanic that is working against you aiming.....is a pill that is really hard to swallow.
ZDub 303 TeamPlayers EoN. 526	Posted - 2013.06.30 02:10:00 - [27] - Quote So I'm a dirty mouse user... and therefore my opinions might not be very valid for the topic... However.. hit detection issues for me are caused completely by framerate problems... outside of PC I usually do fine. And with a mouse.. I find aiming to be fine... You need to change the settings for the controller and PS move, and then turn off mouse smoothing. After that its pretty much just muscle memory. personally.. I would rather see balance changes start now... rather than later.. I would hate to see the god lock pistol remain in its current state for the next 3-4 months while they wait for performance fixes

I feel like the aiming issues are also directly related to the framerate, because the constant drops it experiences throws off the smoothness of the aiming experience.

They'll just "fix" stuff until they find a broken system that works for the player base. After we get used to that for a few months, they'll "fix" the broken system, which will make the weapons work "as expected" which will have the effect of breaking them for the player base.
