Re: Result on Players' Psychology
Posted By: General Vagueness <General.Vagueness@gmail.com>	Date: 5/17/10 5:32 p.m.
In Response To: Result on Players' Psychology (Kiloh Ekim) : Putting aside the bitterness of change many of us might have experienced, : this change has had a few important effects in the psychology of players. : 1. Weapons we previously thought to be accurate we now see (quite clearly) to : be less than. This has created a disdain for those weapons and for the : mechanic in general. We now percieve the DMR and pistol at ranges to be : useless and blame the game, rather than our own behavior, because this : inaccuracy is enforced visually, constantly, by the game (anindication of : game dynamics) instead of by our own deaths (an indication of out skill.) : 2. Players are distracted and frustrated at having to pace their game : carefully. While in the past, weather we had a dramatic bloom or not, : players still lined up their redicles and fired away and would play : without great care for every shot that landed. Now, thanks to the : redicle bloom, players are now aware of every single shot they fire and : are forced to pace their fire and gameplay accordingly. Watching every : shot is distracting players are further required to taper their shots to : distances judged on the fly (which is constantly trial-and-error.) That might be how a lot of people feel about it and how it affects their weapon use, but I just use the scoped weapons like I always did, only a little bit slower, and it works fine for me, I have plenty of DMR and pistol kills and headshot medals racked up.
