Evil Kit posted:ty, good to know! its extremely good, and its worth watching kovaak show the acceleration in effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KORL144_co8. also I learned to use mouse acceleration over a decade after I started playing shooters, its fast to learn and only takes a few days to get used to. I'd highly recommend giving it a shot.

btw, a key aspect of mouse acceleration is to understand that you use it with a cap. the cap limits the amount of acceleration added based on your movement speed. what this means in effect is that you set your cap at whatever speed is most comfortable for flicks. this means that your flick aim is the same, effectively, as having no mouse acceleration, and so any 'muscle memory' you have for flicks stays consistent and never changes. what does change is the aiming between flick and non-flicks, which is what makes interaccel so godly. you can also consider the cap as the 'highest dpi you can feasibly handle'

Its worth noting that yes, it is THAT Kovaak. as in guy who made this originally https://store.steampowered.com/app/824270/KovaaK_20/ Edit : its a different input medium but all joystick players also use acceleration in a way, the further you move the stick the faster the aim movement in any given direction.

Skyarb posted:The biggest issue is people say that this new mouse acceleration is not the same as windows acceleration but still completely fail to say why that is better than none at all. easy, you can lower your effective DPI for slow aiming (i.e., not flicks) far beyond what can be achieved without it, while keeping your flicks sens at locked, consistent, and comfortable DPI. without accel, when you lower your sens for tracking, you also lower your sens for flicking. they're tied together. with accel, the sens for the two different modes are uncoupled. you can experiment with lower and lower sensitivity for tracking while never affecting your flick aim. quote:And if we're gonna talk about cargo culting, why is this new mouse acceleration better because some old quake players used to use it?

Oof, that gyro implementation is gonna be doing a lot of heavy lifting to get me to stay on. Guess I'm hoping for the switch pro to make it better. But I've still yet to see hard details on gyro, even the first announcement was a telephone game in that regard.

Absolutely lolling at the guy who randomly dies at the start and the gas grenade flush outs though. Real good. SKULL.GIF posted:What gets me about this is that one Orbital Cannon almost-final ring. I don't think I've ever seen a match actually end there. Longbow is like any other gun, its got a use. I'm kinda on a "there aren't really bad guns" kick right now, there's only guns that are "bad" because i hate playing the way you'd want to use them. Longbow owns for flanking and catching people rotating, whereas the sentinel, noted "bad gun" is probably better in a straight push. Fuse is my favourite character in the game. I don't think he's "good" but he's a shitton of fun and gives you options that feel powerful and fun to use, which is ideal for me. Quite a few goons have said to me "oh don't go in, we're not in position to third party" and i've been able to shrug and go "fair enough", lobbing 12 nades, an ult and two knuckle clusters instead

Had my first game ever where the ring closed fully. last ring on a point with above and below-ground spaces on KC between labs and capacitor, right next to the portal. Gibby and Bangalore on my team camped up in the labs tunnel seemingly asap and kept the other team outside while we waited for it to close. Then, as the ring was closing, we ran to the back, listened to the other team scurry around above us, THEY BOTH ULTED TOO EARLY, got knockdowns a good 30 seconds before the ring converged, and we lost to their lifeline being able to out-survive us. dumbest thing I've ever seen.

xtal posted:There's nothing wrong with Longbow I like it just fine but it really is the most demanding gun. They should remove the barrel mod slot because no other snipers have it and it feels unnecessary for a single shot sniper rifle, just get rid of the muzzle rise or drift or whatever barrel mods actually do (I honestly can't tell the difference usually) It's also a bit difficult to get used to because it has a higher rate of fire than it "feels like" it should. It honestly works best for me at mid range, contrary to its name

It's more like a beefier version of the Scout and Repeater. One unfortunate difference is that Longbow uses sniper ammo which means you need to carry a stack of that, where if you carry Scout and Repeater along with your R99 or Spitfire then you can get away with holding only one kind of ammo.

Do guns have different projectile sizes? Aside from the obvious ones (TT and L Star). It feels like the longbow bullet is generously big. On that note though, I finally got the L Star to click for me. You basically want to treat it as a kind of burst shotgun.

I think someone posted it the other day but the problem with the Longbow is they never updated the bullet velocity/drop when they changed its ammo type from heavy to sniper.

I mean the scouts main problem is that before you get the skull piercer its outclassed by the triple take. After you get the skull piercer its still way easier to just get some hits on with the triple take. The triple take is by far the best sniper outside of the the special care package ones though, so its not really a fair comparison.

I'm honestly surprised that they haven't nerfed the TT yet, it's an incredibly good gun even without a single attachment. I can even hit things pretty drat far away with its iron sights, something nobody ever said about the longbow

Longbow definitely pierces enemies, not sure about the sentinel but I assume it does. If you aim for their knees/legs as they're picking them up you'll hit both.

PC players in general have been a hell of a lot more chill. Though speaking of my fav. girl, I got my highest ever damage with her last week.  Spitfire/Devotion. It was beautiful. Also wondering what could've been in this Gibby game. We ended up getting ring camped and my teammates ran off in opposite directions instead of pushing with my bubble. Ah well.

The end-of-match screen showing Kills/Assists/Knocks is going to take some getting used to. I like it in theory, it’s just very busy visually. It’ll definitely be nice to see more than just a zero after an unlucky match. The kinds where you have tons of damage but someone else always seems to get the last hit, or hot drops where you get a bunch of knocks but your team gets wiped before any of them turn into kills. Speaking of kill stealing, I just won a match with 2 kills and only 23 damage. New personal damage-to-kills record.
