and my addition confirms that there is a real problem and not only imagination on kids side..

it's a feature?

what is the topic?

i see a rant about how low-skilled players feel underrepresented in decisions ... and well.. it is correct that some have this feeling, and it is correct that some go much to far in their posts showing such feelings..

but i dont think that this is ignorance.. its more like realizing the futility.. it is hard to have fun in a gameing comunity where one is disrespected.. this leads to frustration and in turn to more alianating behaviour..

i dont see how this blog can help the issue.. and i dont see how anything can be done to resolve the whole "how to find ones place in a community and understanding the rationale of not only oneself but of all other posters as well"..

the only thing i see productive about this topic is to address more briefly detailed aspects that come up from time to time and are either dismissed or controversly discussed..

"i have already answered those questions why it is this way couple of times, but people didn't bother to read or ignored what i have said"
which brings us back to my suggestion. I figure you guys got more strings to pull to make it happen, I don't mind talkin to mods but knowing how it goes around here from my brief but good experience, it will have less chances of ever happening.

first of all the differences:

_______ raising time ____ drooping time ____
plusN ___ 254ms ___________ 0ms
__ e5r ___ 149ms ___________ 0ms

- if the only one difference between switch times is actually the raising time why on e5r u do not feel the delay?

- because 150ms is a reaction time of a superman, 99% of people can't even reach that time, if u get used to e5r this is obvious u trying to shot 100ms sooner as this is possible in plusN

if u going to claim Yours reaction time is below 150ms then u are probably superman... but if u have learned to press a combinations of keys then it can be done lower than 150ms between key presses but then it is not a reaction on a animation... if u still going to claim u can be faster then 150ms and react on animation change lower than 150ms try for example humanbenchmark reaction test this going to bring u back on the earth mr.superman

- ok so in both configs there is a delay caused by the same way, so the theory about that plusN handles switch-times different way is false!

- why i can't made weapon raising animation played after raising time will pass not before this going to happen?

- because i can't made that in a config simple as that! the same method of weapons animation is used in every config

- also every animation have 2 levels:
lv.1. animation is played to a moment when u still need wait to fire, u can clearly see the gun is not fully pulled out and not ready to fire yet

.lv2. animation is finished after the raising time passed and then the gun is fully pulled out

u can observe it on Your own by setting bigger raising time in e5r.cfg for example, try 500ms and observe how the animation is played

clear enough?
