Tip and Warning for Snipers

[Agranite (Luong)]

Unfortunately even when you disable aim assist, the game still persistently force your aim, causing unintentional behaviours with your scoping.

Whenever you right-click to scope, the sniping rifle would snap onto the position to where you aim and will not unsnap from the position unless you move the mouse significantly. Bad news for snipers who enjoy flick shots.

If you aim significantly close to the target's weak point and right-click, it will snap onto the target weak point. There are times where i have it snap slightly outside of the target weak point, causing significant effort to fix it. The other flaw is when you right-click and the target starts moving, the crosshair will start following the target, keeping the crosshair relative to the snap locations. So if you snap slightly outside the target weak point and the target starts moving, the crosshair will follow the target while remaining slightly off-target and will not let you readjust the aim properly.

This is a very frustrating problem for us snipers, who enjoy playing snipers in fps games. I enjoy playing Hanzo, Widowmaker, McCree, 76, Zanyetta, Ana in Overwatch. I can snipe and really dislike this so call handicap feature (even when auto-assist is turned off.) I also enjoy the scout in CS, was never much of an AWP fan.

Edit:

The best way to use Sniper Rifle in this game is to constantly quickscope. Before scoping in, aim slightly above the target's weak point while aligning horizontally in the center. This way before you scope in, it will aim on the enemy weak point. If you were to aim at the head for example before scoping in, it will often aim at the neck area and miss the weak point.

As someone who made their character, Sinon, using a sniper rifle, I figure this would help the players how to use the sniper rifle in this game. I was constantly wondering wtf was going on when I was trying to snipe my target and why it was not following my mouse movements.

Oh yeah, when you have Sinon in your party she uses a skill that "tags" an enemy with a yellow circle, and that basicly makes an even stronger auto aim towards that spot.
I think with 40 dex or so you can also get the skill

The game is heavily based on shooting so it is kind of important to fix. Console sticks are inaccurate as hell and need aim assist because it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to aim with just sticks. Mouse is accurate as hell and doesn't need it (Pressing Z to turn assist on and off does help a bit). Menu option for raw mouse input seems like an easy fix that still allows players to decide whether or not they want to use the current system.

Haven't run into any bugs so I'm not sure what's more important than something that is essential to playing the game like the ability to aim and shoot when and where you want to.

tbh i am a sniper player, i play sniper roles in a lot of games and i do want them to let you toggle the aim assist but there are more important matters at hand. some people cant even play the game and we out here askng the devs if they can remove aim assist.

Anscheinend bist du 12 oder so, wenn du meinst dass sowas lächerliches wie exaktes Snipern in nem Fantasy Game wichtiger ist, als die Probleme der Leute zu fixen die gar nicht spielen können.

This is mostly annoying on the 'player' npc's who immediately start straffing you so the lock in never quite gets there, or if you're closer to something you didn't want to aim at.

OP never said people being unable to launch the game isn't important to fix. No real reason why a quick patch couldn't add the raw input option while they figure out how to fix the big, more difficult problems like crashes.

Funny thing I am thinking the crashes are more due to what people are running than the game, because i've not had a single one of the problems anyone is talking about about, no issues with mouse, crashing etc. Only issue I do have is it seems to have the same issues Nier: automata did, where no matter what res you set it to, it still renders stuff at 720p, which makes it really blurry when you use any res above it.
