Just a question: played some games and want to express my disappointment. I have seen much better aimbots in other games. Why can't I headshot other players every time. Is there a random Chance on this? I kill people via headshot only in 1 of 3 cases. Please fix this. You can do better.

It is working as intended.

It is not meant to target only the head, as that could get boring and this game is all about being able to fight outside a box, so...

What the 3pv aimbot does is select the MOST critical spot on the enemy mech at that instant, giving you the best possible chance to hit and kill that mech. that is why only one in three times will it target the head.

I hope this clears any misconceptions up as PGI always strives to be forthright and transparent in all they do.

holy s.h.i.t. i want a better aimbot too, and only for me the god mode. funny thing that

The best part in the patch is, that the hitbox detection of the spider mech seems to be fixed. I can oneshot spiders at a distance of 700 m now. Good work PGI. Keep going!

So are we being "clever" when we say "aimbot", or is there some sort of "auto-target" function I've missed?

[Fishbrane]

Can't play because I'm in another country on business, but I'm watching these developments closely.

I've had a friend in vent tell me that he felt like there was an aim assist while playing in 3pv. Said it felt like playing an FPS on an Xbox.

He closed the game and is watching videos for Blizzard's upcoming Hearthstone right now. Awesome. Youtube videos for a Magic knockoff are more fun than my beloved Mechwarrior.

How have you let it come to this PGI?

I don't believe it has anything to do with 3PV, but I did have an interesting observation Wednesday night. Two consecutive matches, I was headshot...one shot, one kill. I've had maybe one other in the previous 100 or so matches. Now granted, my little Sarah's Jenner isn't the most durable thing walking, but I was under the impression the cockpit wasn't made of wet tissue paper either. I'm not saying it's outside the realm of probability, but still...

Sooo, yeah... just sayin'.

[Mazzyplz]

much more fun than the game IMO

[Lumpy Gash]

Its not a bug guys, its a Feature.....

[Maarve]

what the **** auto aim .... really ?

[Abivard]

yes, really.

[Maarve]

Wow , well that puts the final nail in my mwo coffin . It was a glorious 2-3 weeks career I guess . As if this game isn't already a **** poor shadow of a real MechWarrior title .

See you kids back in MWLL ? , Wandering Samurai knew wtf was up unlike these money grabbing a-holes.

As i am at work right now i can't test it.

BUT, that sounds really, really absurd. i call BS.

Good trolling though, 7/10!

[Caswallon]

so here is a classic catch 22

Here is a bug (yes it is stop sniggering!) Its an exploitable bug.

So PGI want feedback on 3pv... BUT if we feed back about an exploit we get banned for posting the details on an exploit..

Sooo We mention it in generalites.. PGI assumes its grumbling and ignores us (they have 10 ranks in ignoring the community anyhow)

Soooooo... They conclude 3pv is "fine" and drop the use of 1pv only ques!

Oh and don't tell me we should pass it on to to support. The ONLY support answers I have gotten that satisfied me were ones over billing payment difficulties. The other tickets I have submitted had terse "we know about this but its not fixed(fixable?) at this time. Yes they will work hard on things that make it hard for them to collect your money!

This being a potential game breaker but not a billing issue will get shuffled to the bottom of the pile along with lord knows how many other reports of problems in game...

So if anyone feels I am being overly cynical please say so. I actually attempt to listen the feed back of my peers!

They are talking about the arm lock in 3pv mode. It provides perfect convergence while seeming less restrictive than the 1pv arm lock because of better visibility.
