the sonar grenade nerf was intense, and it kinda sucks because invisible lights are everywhere in quick cash

CuddleCryptid posted:Maybe I'm just used to CoD gluing the ADS on target as much as it physically can, but this doesn't seem that bad to me. Yes it demonstrates that AA has an effect in a wide range around the target, but most of the time the aim was still way off target. It was only really bad when they were right up on the target and it was dragging the crosshair on target off the hip. The key thing is how it now reacts instantly when the target changes direction. That's what makes RAA so insanely strong in like Cod or Apex. Because in a head up gunfight with each player strafing around, it won't miss shots on every direction change but the human player will.

It was only really bad when they were right up on the target and it was dragging the crosshair on target off the hip. cod looks very similar to this where "the aim was still way off target" if you test in a similar manner. video of many examples of this 3m22s in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frjx63T5FQU&t=200s in cod, the RAA % seems like 60% when targets sprint, 45% when targets hip-strafe. in apex, it's 60% on console and 40% on PC. in the finals, it seems like 50% at that range. the problem with RAA of course is when you combine a competent player on PC with low latency settings. the RAA in the finals at point blank is so strong that it works like COD in that it can literally 180 you, even to your detriment: https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/18f55gf/the_aim_assist_in_this_game_is_crazy/

the most important gun fight interactions are at close range, and the game has a lot of dedicated systems to close the gap or shut off enemy range. like apex, the finals has a recoil system that completely eliminates recoil in certain common circumstances during close range tracking. this level of RAA means you will be facing better-than-shroud levels of aim at close range from total randos once people start plugging in controllers to PC. a lot of them don't realize their aim is better than shroud in these situations!

having a good time playing quick cash matches with randoms, but holy hell there's a lot of drop in/out going on. I had a round where I was thrown in mid-match and then cycled through another four teammates, at one point the only member of my team. I haven't played a squad type game in a long time, is this common? Also I keep running into weird bugs, in one round I respawned with no right stick response, I could only walk back and forth and strafe until someone killed me lol

I have no problem leaving hopeless games in casual play modes in multiplayer shooters but there's no real point here, you are very rarely TRULY out and if you are well it's time to go Chaos Mode and blow stuff up/goop up everything.

Disregard guns, embrace hammer. Sure, the shotgun is probably all around more effective at close range, but it just can't beat the joy of pulping lights in one hit  https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...4d92f85d556f2f&

There are a handful of balance issues I hope they sort out but nothing is too atrocious. But mother of god do they need party size matchmaking.

yeah that is the other issue with RAA, but that's usually considered cheating by most people so people usually don't comment on it. a lot of people will also get a xim or w/e which you can buy at wal-mart and use hardware instead of software to try to avoid detection. these types of devices are so popular they sell hundreds of thousands and run out of stock. idk if any company has ever banned people for it.

It seems like something like XIM would be very easy to detect when the game is registering controller input and the player is performing what can only be considered mouse inputs, but that would require manual checks which lol I can't really comprehend why someone would do something so incredibly boring but I guess there's cheaters everywhere. Get that hollow validation, lads, in the dark of the night you know you didn't actually do anything interesting.

i'm convinced a developer that cared about input balance could try different systems and values to give rough parity across different engagement distances across different skill levels. they could also just focus on this level of balance for PC platforms and let console players have their aimbot wars. but it's much less financially risky to just copy apex/cod, although the system they have in place right now looks superficially stronger than either of those games w/ the extreme snap-on 100% aimbot tracking + high RAA.

The real crime of crossplay was the loss of in game text chat. The rise of every game or dev having their own account system for friends and partying is a close second.

Just a FYI, I was looking at the updated store and there's a Season 1 Starter Pack of a few weapon skins, and it includes ¢1,150 multibucks. Which is exactly how much the bundle costs. I didn't pay attention to the items for sale last week but keep an eye out for future rebates I guess.

You ever get those sudden moments where your back hurts I think I (Howard the Fucc) had a moment where my sack hurt  But yeah nah I tried Riot Shield again when I saw I had two Lights (Throwing Knives/Sword) and uh huh melee really loves bonking people with low self-preservation

However it really is less about how well you play and more about is the enemy team stupid, because any good players will just range you to death because they can always out sprint your melee. MELEE HEAVY NEEDS A BUFF!

This should mean that you get backfilled less often and when you do get backfilled, you should have more time remaining in the match, especially in Bank It mode Maybe just bad luck but I've been backfilled as a solo queuer 4 matches in a row now, something that never happened before this patch
