...might as well go all-out and add in the quick-dash techniques from Unreal Tournament. Seems like you guys are just throwing out the concept of normalized movement, might as well go all the way...

Hi guys,

There have been no changes to strafe speed. The movement settings in 1.2 are the same as they were before. I suspect it simply feels a little different because performance is now so much better :-)

could the faster movement be trying to counteract the LAVs?

Lying.

not the same, and very obviously. (strafe faster than forward...)

I disagree - I haven't seen any noticeable differences personally. I tend to believe a man who has no reason to lie. Also, release notes didn't indicate this change, and this falls under what they would normally put in the notes.

I'm fairly certain this will live on as a DUST meme, for many, many years to come.


But the left....and the right....and the backwards.....how.....

My brain.....

Hi guys,

There have been no changes to X. The X settings in Y.Y are the same as they were before. I suspect it simply feels a little different because performance is now so much better :-)

To that one Minmatar assault that does have it down and duals Ishukones with damage mods, my CEO hates you with a burning passion.

It's a proven fact that strafing is faster now, as well as several other movement inhibitions being removed ( fast directional changing after jumping, faster backpeddle in and out of warbarge, ability move after the impact from intertia dampeners, etc).


You can't disagree with proven facts. You can only be wrong. This isn't a matter of opinion.

Ok - how did you prove it? Where are the stats? What tools did you use to measure this? How did you account for the changes in performance indicated by someone who developed the game? Were you sure to take measurements before 1.2 came out, so you would have something to compare 1.1 it to empirically when 1.2 did come out:? Etc.

I've not seen anyone post this, and until I do I tend to believe the guy who works on the game, especially since my personal experience is different than yours.

I'm just too lazy to chop up some clips from all the video I've been recording these past couple months. If you can't see the difference then you've either never played the old builds, or you've never paid a whole lot of attention while doing so.
