heres my ucl story:
one time about half a decade ago i was alone in a pub with opsayo
he randomly mentioned "hey ya know u can set the variable for disk accuracy higher than what it is and you'll hit more shots"
i said wtf no way that isnt real how can you change disc accuracy to higher % isnt that autoaim
he said no it was a serverside hack, let me show you,
he then said he had changed my disc accuracy to something really high and that i should try to ma him
sure enough i was able to hit him without even specifically aiming at him, i would aim generally near him and it'd still connect
he said this had nothing to do with the hitboxes or substituting them though im not truly sure what was going on
after that he said he'd set my disc accuracy to something really low so i could see the difference
yet again i tried to ma him and even when aiming my hardest when he'd fly in a perfectly straight line up in the air my disc would either shoot around him or above or below, almost like i wasnt seeing the real target or i was just missing completely, like i had very little control over my own mouse
recently itt i made this post
change chaingun 2 blaster by DC. - Page 4 - TribalWar Forums about maybe everyone should have 200 ping (i made this same kind of post a few years ago as well)
when i went to pub in tribes yesterday night i could not hit a single shot my disc would shoot all over the place
when i checked tw later i eerily had this rep point attached to my comment
i really dislike the idea that we can change tribes into a carnival midway game but it truly makes sense to me that this has happened.
the fact that it can be used to target individuals and not the whole server bothers me a lot.
of course ucl will say im making this all up but this is stuff i lived and have commented on before.
opsayo please stop fucking with the server. i know you want to make things more equal but fucking with accuracy settings doesnt make things more equal. it sucks that some people ping better than others and it sucks that some people have better computers than others, but retributive justice and "rebalancing" the game by your own notions in secret isn't right. please dont do this.
lastly this whole experience has made me yet again question if the entirety of online gaming is totally rigged
good grief god dam,n
