The Aim lock

  • Hey,
    why was there aim lock in the final beta (i didn't experience it in the other betas)
    this aim lock really messed me up i thought it might of been a toggle on and toggle off thing but it wasn't if you do intend to put this "aim lock" in the game please oh please put an option to turn it off.
    thanks. :)

  • if you are talking about the sword aim lock I asked the same question and someone showed me this poll:
    https://www.strawpoll.me/15238352
    go vote there. I guess that's the only way to make the devs listen. Keep in mind that they are experienced in making controller games, not PC games. With a controller you can't turn very fast. that's why there is aim lock. I really hope they add the option to disable it. It makes Skeleton forts really annoying to fight when your camera is spinning around every time you press left click.

  • @reddwolfz ok here is the exact link:
    something messed up with the link in the previous post:

  • @svetli97 Thank you for sharing this! I'm trying to show it to as many people as possible we are already at 287 votes. I've already sent it to rare but if it doesn't meet with the success we are just going to show them with more and more votes until it does! #FreeMelee

  • If you are referring to the sword, it's been in every build as far as I know, and it's quite annoying. It's difficult to hit an intended target when fighting a group especially. Was fighting a fort and often would lock onto another crew we'd be playing with, instead of swinging at a skeleton as intended. It's one of the only things wrong with it really.

  • @svetli97 Be able to? Sure. To have it disabled? No as some controllers users need it. Just had to make the distinction

  • You got my vote!

    I've hated this feature since day one.

  • @deashkiin It's pretty clear in the poll. It was always about having the option. Removing lock-on entirely is a bad idea, of course, I'm personally unskilled with the controller so whenever I feel like playing with one (I sometimes do) I'm going to appreciate having it.

    But I have yet to hear why we shouldn't have the option. Crossplay balance has so far been the only voiced reason. It's funny to talk about crossplay balance when there is free aim with guns and when multiple people prefer free aim with melee on controllers as well.

  • @tutorialchimp Not that clear even though I understood. Maybe some who say no it's precisely because of that so I don't think it hurts to specify for any in doubt

    EDIT: not to speak of the amount of times developers change things like that for the pc without any option, leaving pc controller users in the dust

  • @deashkiin the poll is just saying that there should be an option to toggle lock-on.
    If you're on a controller you can still use it.

  • @zynthetikk86 yup. look above

  • The aim lock was horrible in my meaning on the Final Beta, i am playing on PC, and was fighting a skeleton fortress, and it was several times i died due to the lock because i wasnt able to dodge around the skeleton etc.. then hitting other players by mistake etc..

    This should be an option to turn off tbh.
