Because strafing involves wider strides from left to right, which is different opposed to someone who is walking forward. Strafe doesn't involve walking. Just like backpedaling can be faster than walking...

CCP you lied. It is obviously faster than before. It is even faster than walking forward.

You just somehow mistaken the "DS3+keyboard = 2x strafe" bug as "normal speed".

I am truly speechless as to how incompetence you are to not notice this.

Fix this strafe. This is not normal. This is 2x the normal speed.

It is also faster than walking forward, how do you even explain that?

All i know is i like it that way. Much more dynamic than it was before.

I think we have different definitions of dynamic

dynamic : "Marked by intensity and vigor"

So yeah, it's much more dynamic than the previous straf speed where i felt i had as much intensity and vigor as a dead snail.

I said before.. I like the strafe speed we have now, but the AIMING doesn't match the movement.

FIX THE KITTEN AIMING ALREADY CCP !!

Sorry for the caps... not really.

So heavies dancing like scouts is intense and vigorous? Thankfully CCP has entirely disconnected with any form of consistency in vision that they were heading towards.

Disco shoes all around, because going backwards in gaming development is nostalgically delicious.

Same story...the second you oppose someones personal belief, they attack you instead of simply discussing. You instantly assume its because I have trouble aiming, and not that it has anything to do with making heavies and scouts weaker in a game where theyre already laughable. Its too early for this debate, this game is a ******* joke anyways.

We can talk but you're the one starting with disco shoes and dancing etc... So you're the one who's attacking personnal like in the first place. Dont say otherwise.

So now, heavies are weaker when they can dance ? Weird, i would have thought it makes them a lot more able to ruin people considering how you said it. As for scouts, weirdly enough the only scout dude i have in my team actually says it's better now for him. So again, depends on your POV. On a personal note, Never been shot by so many scout SG in Uprising before 1.2.

Anyway, heavies and scouts balance isnt something that belongs to the movement speed debate. They're entirely different issues that i already discussed multiple times with CCP prior to any patch when uprising was released.

What i notice that really matters since 1.2 and the change to strafe is that many people who had stopped playing in my team are coming back. And many forum post here acknowledge the fact the game is more fun that way. I also can dodge murder taxi more easily (even though this problem needs to be balanced differently as well).

So overall, i'm pretty confident that a lot more people enjoy it than the opposite.

Question about whether or not going forward, backward needs to be tweak to fit in with this is another issue.

\o/ turn speed increased the same amount because i can hit thing easier with my hmg

You are a CPM... ask CCP to change the turning speeds, and the overall forwards / backwards speed to match the strafe speed.. then we are in business again.

Also when you are at it... ask them to fix the kitten aiming.

Rest assured, we dont talk soccer or weather. As for movement speed, i'll take more time to test and read feedback before pointing to any tweak to make.

Comparing quickly hopping side to side as dancing and wearing disco shoes isnt the same as saying someone doesnt like something because they want the game to do it for them.

You yourself JUST said you have no issues tracking a strafing heavy. So, heavies are just as easy to hit, while others get to "strafe" to avoid fire. Scout movement IS an issue because if you buff their movement then buff the class we come back to scouts that can only die if they try.

Its CCPs infuriating habit to completely change design directions without a moments notice, then showcasing their lack of attention by telling us it was "a performance boost"
