Imagine the goldmine if they ever get FPS decently playable and monetized.

Breathing

We intend to prove that breathing can be an active, interesting part of the FPS experience. Soldiers must control their breathing in order to fire more accurately, so why not simulate that in the game? Firing at the top and bottom of each breath, or holding your breath entirely, are ways soldiers learn to fire their weapons most effectively, so it makes sense to reward players for having the skill and patience to do the same.

Firing at the top and/or bottom of your natural breaths mean that there is (briefly) no movement of the upper chest to move the barrel, making your shots more accurate. Holding your breath is another way which can be used for a longer stabilization time, at the risk of waiting too long and needing to catch your breath — with a resulting loss of stamina, should you hold it too long!

These “natural pauses” during the breathing cycle will only occur while in the Aiming Down Sights stance. There will be a pause at the top and bottom of each breath. During this pause there will be almost no movement to the sights and it will be the best time to fire. We might also tighten the spread of the rounds when firing at these points. (See below picture for the range explanation.)

Breakdown of full stamina breath pattern:

-1 Second pauses at the top and bottom of the each breath
-2 Seconds to move from the top to the bottom of the breath
-Left and right sway and up and down limits are dictated by the weapon and attachments’ values
-Up, down, left and right sway values should be determined by modifiers on the weapon’s sway

Breakdown of no stamina breath pattern:

-Very short pauses at the top and bottom of each breath, about .2 – .3 seconds
-Very rapid up and down travel time of about 1 second
-Left and right sway and up and down limits can have a modifier on top of the base weapon and attachments’ values
-Up, down, left and right values should be determined by modifiers on the weapon’s sway
-Holding your breath is the active part of the breath system. By holding a button, you will hold your breath for a specific amount of time before your character releases the breath for you. The longer you hold your breath, the lower your stamina gets. If you have little to no stamina, then you will not be able to hold your breath very long.

Breakdown of full stamina breath hold:

-Holding [key] will begin the “hold breath” state
-Sway is reduced to 0 for the duration
-You can hold your breath for 10 seconds before needing to release (this action will be involuntary)
-The release will create sway for 3 seconds, with a modifier making it a bit more extreme
-After the sway, breathing returns to normal

Breakdown of no stamina breath hold:

-Holding [key] will begin the “hold breath” state
-Sway is reduced to 0 for the duration
-You can hold your breath for 1 second before releasing
-The release will create sway for 6 seconds, with a modifier making it a bit more extreme
-After the exaggerated sway, breathing returns to the breath cycle based on current stamina

There was a moment on one of these streams last night, after the umpteeth crash and "this is totally awesome!" the streamer just stopped and stared with this vacant look on his face for 10 seconds, then went back to playing. Wasn't this guy though.

Breathing stuff

As I read this I am excited. This is exactly what I was thinking I want. The Natural pauses in breaths is how I have always shot. And roughly should equate to 1 well aimed shot per/sec. The fact that they want to implement this shows me that they have really done there research. I would like to see what there plan is for getting shot and how bullet damage affects your character.

One of the streamers actually said he liked all the crashing and the repetitiveness of it because it made him learn to play.

First they would have to be able to somehow have something as complex as your gun-sight (or however it's called) on screen.

Holy poo poo.. the breathing stuff, tell me it was made up by a sperg and isn't actually going to be implemented...

There's no some poo poo like that would be worked on right?

I mean.. your talking about how many hundreds of years in the future with basicly power armor and they don't have cervos in the arms to assist aiming and ignore your breathing? God drat it's all retro futuristic bullshit from the 90's.

America's Army already modeled breathing like that in 2002.

In a game where you can use your beam grapple in zero-grav to shoot upside-down with your proton gun I believe?

Does such a game exist?

How many bugs have you reported? How much time have you tried finding bugs?

Just because we throw money doesnt mean we do anything to help more than the next backer. I bet the dudes that are in the top 1000 spend hours a day finding and reporting detailed poo poo about bugs in the testings

Oh wait the solution is to make sure big ships not really turn.

My understanding is that E:D is well on its way to becoming what SC at one time wanted to be. As E:D adds and releases more content, it'll be interesting to see how the SC cult faith holds up.

For a cultist is it cheating on SC to play E:D?
