View Full Version : Weapon Aiming
I know im not ingame yet, but all i read all over the forums is that aiming has been drastically fucked over. Is this true for all weapons (inc. monk spells) cuz if all this is true am havin second thoughts about comin back to nc myself cuz i thought the aiming was just fine with all weapons. I dont mean to sound selfish but im sure many will also agree...whats up with the aiming???!!!
I know im not ingame yet
You know what to do... try it while it's free and dont rely on hearsay. There's more opinions on 2.2 than players - go have a look yourself.
As far as i know it's fine except for AOE weapons which are terribly in-accurate at the moment.
I wont be able to get ingame til sometime next month, im still piecing together my uber computer ;) Otherwise i would which is why im asking
I'm a Rifle Spy with just about 130 WeaponLore, wielding a TL76 Raygun, it takes only about a second longer to get my reticule to shape down.
It's really not that bad at all, atleast not for rifles!

For rifles and most cannons everthing is fine except for AOE cannons; they simply shoot everywhere but where you point them.
I have 195 pistol combat and 116 weapon lore, I get around 150% damage on my lib and the aiming still isn't very good, range sucks (120-all, lib). So yeah, for PISTOLS, aiming got a LOT worse. Before I could completely cap lib aiming/damage with like 160 pc and 40 lore.
Tank aiming is now abysmal, devourer is a nightmare and just devolves into spam and hope you hit something.
I have 240+ HC and max WPL from INT and its still a loooong time to close in the reticule with a low tech such as speed gat, and ravager is also a long time.
Against a fast moving (and now run casting) opponent such as a rifle pe, its not even close to being 'fun'
I don't have great aim, and I havn't had any trouble. Meanwhile I have come across a few tanks who hit almost everything with their CS. IT doesn't seem that bad, really.
CS is spray n pray though as per normal, get close and you'll hit.
If i wanted to melee fight id be M-C ;)

A second is a long time. Also, 130 wep on a spy seems... low...
It depends on the weapon though, it's still partly dependant on range, so the xbow and some other pistols are alright (though a little slow) but the judge or similar is appling. The drop off rate in aim speed on pistols is too fast too.
to be honest if the aim gets better on tanks there goes another 10 people quiting... I mean you said if u want melee you will mc but frig them tank weps are insane if u even got some aim on that no one could live :P

Beam weapons never needed much lock, add to the fact they are really strong and you've got issues.
They fucked up Tank aiming.
Old Method: If you were still and not being fired upon, AOE would begin closing.
New Method: The AOE recticule is maximum (half the screen) until locking onto something.
I call this, a BUG.

Where I come from we call it a nerf.
It's not intentional. It's cuz they added the recticule to APU spells, then rebalanced it based on that fact. They never realized the consequences of a AOE weapon. KK has done this before. (sighs)

Well, CS, Ravager, Speedgat seem to aim quite well and I get decent hits out of the bursts (H-C 240+ , WPL 90, T-C 105).
Raygun/Fusion cannon, Rocketlaunchers, well those are completly useless now.

uhh they do I thought they were going to change that instead of reticles it was going be just distance.. closer they are more dmg they do.

For every negative change theyve fucked something up.
Like PVP is amazing compared to 2.1. PVM/E on the other hand is shite.
Many nice things and many bad things... of which a few are being fixed. Like imps and hopefully PVM
Yea so I c, just got back in and trying to figure out what happened. What class is easiest/funnest to play atm? (I have all caped), and where hybrids stand now are they even viable option?(I left when my blesses 65/97 hybrid was unkillable)
Edit: OMG they added paypal! Finally, click2cry has made my decision not to reactivate quite a few times lol.
I can't see any problem on direct attack weapons, and I think APU reticle idea is very nice indeed, even though APUs should get somekind of loving atm.
I'm sorry did KK balance your class?
actually no, but apus were definatly by far the fastest way to get cash "solo" and seeing as how there is a problem makin cash now....thats definatly done and over with now :(
