Bigger question, is anyone on Esamir or Amerish now?

I'd rather wear a tiara and fight on any continent other than Indar

Aye, about time too. Well that and screen shaking from explosions.

Ugh, still no fixed quick action menu. I use inverted mouse controls and I hate having to move my mouse up to select options on the bottom of the quick action menu and vice versa. It makes it impossible to use.

Didn't Higby say that account wide unlocks were on track to be included in the next game update? Figures that top priority vote items from the roadmap didn't make it in for Febraury or even the first March update. Why have a roadmap if it doesn't really influence the release schedule?

We can assume at this point, next update.

This was a hotfix, not Game Update 04.

The roadmap is what they will be doing that month, not that they will release it in that month. GU02 was also few days "late," as it came out in February not January.

Yeas, so you basically said we have no idea when it is coming... thanks. I knew that and just said that too.

Game Updates are on a bi-weekly schedule. So next week.

Really love the new flinching mechanic, NC and semi-auto weapons became dramatically more efficient in my experience. Using the Rebel used to be roll of the dice if you didn't get the drop on someone or held the gun right in his face, but now... <3

Hamma, it's kind of annoying when you post threads that have nothing more than a link to another Page on psu. Would be nice if you copy and pasted the relevant content into the post as well. This one's been eating at my patience for a year or so. :p

Seconded.

Thirded? Is that a word?

Dislike 1 line posts with a link to another page with the actual content on it. Please put the content in the actual post. Please.

Oh, ****. No wonder I can never get that to work properly.

It's when you take damage and your aim is altered because of the damage. For instance, if you're hit for 1 damage your aim is altered by say 1 mm(hypothetical). If you're hit by 1 damage 20x, your aim is altered 1 mm 20 times, so the more your hit the more your aim is off. Basically some feel that NC are weak because of this, since they fire slower they cause less 'flinching' on their enemies. Personally, I think people are trying to find excuses for having bad aim.

I agree. Perhaps if the URL went to a news folder in the web site and then the forum code automatically detects the link is going to that folder then it would show the content from the HTM page in the post? That would make it easy then.

Nope.

Flinch

Linked that, not because I agree with everything this poster says, but it does illustrate than not even good aim can save you.

I thought you were Pro-elite-everyone-hates-me level of player. You should know all this already.

Two things can be equally true. there are a lot of people who are trying to make excuses for bad aim... but the way the flinch mechanic has worked it DOES give an advantage to a higher ROF weapon.
