I agree on all of what you said Dando. Actually what you just wrote was written before by Thrillhaus, this is the link for it . Anyways, I would like to add that each lobby is either open to EU or US or even both.
Disallow use of Auto Target in Lockdown.
The fact that it has been already written months ago and thus, ignored, only strengthens my footnote: OOO does not read any suggested improvement.
1 cent bet that next patch will only have some useless christmas accessories / costumes set instead of real gameplay patching.
Don't forget the awesome Cosmetic Furniture they will give...
And haven got changed. And heart trinks.
Wooha!! Now that was a big update, from it largeness I didn't feel about it, weird isn't ?!

@Dragneel
I had to play with 1 bar of connection for an entire week..... I hate it. ._.
@Feller
And exactly who are you?
Auto Target is relatively useless to you if you don't even know how to play Lockdown. If you have any experience with game mechanics then it will be of use to you but only to a certain extent. Auto Target distorts your movement at times when 2 or more enemies are in range of Auto Target. It makes your attacks slower and useless. It leaves you off guard as if it were a third attack in a combo. Heavy swords are better without Auto Aim and same goes for Flourish/Snarble at times.
@Pawsmack
Check this thread for more info here. Alot of us have been lagging ALOT lately, so you can show your support for asking for a fix and sympathizing with your brothers in Latency Tombs.
And I wanted to talk about the disadvantages of AT. You covered all of them I guess, I just want to say that when you are fighting one person AT would work better, but if it goes more than that, then you need to be experienced enough to handle it with 2 enemies or more. Simply it makes you slower, and you can't do Crowd Control Damage "Unless they are standing in front of each other". It only helps you land a correct hit "Sometimes" and alot of times it just makes you duller and you can't move swiftly. I actually don't use it when I get my lovely 3 bars, but these days... you know after the GH update alot of people including me are having 1 bar and massive latency hit.

Call of Duty style?
Cuz everything that can be said has probably been said, and someelitistbaka are just too dense to actually bother thinking.
Check the best lockdown player thread, my nick is from page 1 to the last one, besides that I'm the current 1vs1 NO-AA champion, if there's one player in this game that knows the differece between AA and no AA attacks, is me.
AA = more range, fake accuracy, robotics combos (with any weapon)
No-AA = play yourself.
1) AT ON/OFF
2) Only full 5* allowed ON/OFF
3) Immunity Frames ON/OFF
4) Heart Trinkets ON/OFF
5) CE reviving ON/OFF
6) UVs ON/OFF
7) Polaris ON/OFF
8) Hammer ON/OFF
9) Striker Boost breakable ON/OFF
Immunity frames on/off? That would just be a breeding ground for hammers with AT for the dash. I've never heard of anyone complaining over immunity frames, personally.
Though I agree, the best way would be to have a customizable lobby.
~Sev
'cept he goes overboard.
Really. And tell me, can you show me a vid to give me concrete proof?
because they all look the same. Boosting and whacking you with the weapons that have more of an advantage.
And I've noticed. You seem to pull the same arguements that are half arsed. At least try,
Instead of inflating that ego. We aren't talking about your stupid title, we're talking about AT, not this AA thing that does not exist.
The update of today: New LD map! -_-
My guess is, there are no coders left in OOO. Just designers. So, we'll get only maps from now on, to continue playing the same unpatched game since 1 year+
May I have permission to punch you in the face.
That whole sentence is the peak of stupid(in this matter).
Ok, tell me a Lockdown "patch" done since it was out. Spectate doesn't count - it doesn't affect who actually plays lockdown.
No baka, he means stop bumping this with a post not even relevant to it.
'Patch' LD? What is there to patch? You want them to add jetpacks to let you fly or something? There's nothing else TO add but more MAPS.
YOU suggest something to add to LD. Spectate totally counts, because it's still relevant to LD.
- Spectation Mode is out
- Weird sword bugs/nerfs came in just today
- More maps
May I have yer attention... to the second sentence... please?
If... Curio wasn't coding... then... the engineers there... what ye thought of them... are fake... *cough cough cough*
Psychodestroyer:
I am an end-game player - I did everything that could be done - from going to SL to rolling a triple-MAX - and the only SK part that I still play - and waste CE for it - is LD.
Now, matchmaking is broken since the start: there is no proper handling of teams, it is not uncommon to see a team with 6 full 5* and the other with 3*-4*: result, a boring match for both teams.
Matchmaking needs a patch to take in count number of matches played, equipment, total damage/caps/defends. It has been "suggested" many times, but never patched. Do you know that if a 2* has 1 single 4* item he goes to t3? Unfortunately, I have seen even this too.
Penalties to "leavers" have been asked too, because there are people who quit at match start if no one fills, or ragequit middlegame unbalancing the match, and, as always, ruining the game to the others.
Custom settings and LD lobby too has been asked months ago ( the linked post is back from july, but there are other posts even older asking i.e. to set the number of players in a match ). These would solve lots of problems, allowing gamers to play matches they like, how they want, and with who they wish.
After all, lobbies/custom settings are in every multiplayer game for a reason.
If you really think that "There's nothing else TO add but more MAPS" you should play t3 LD more.
Maps or Spectate should have come after the core LD was refined with user feedback: I would have appreciated them completely as nice add-ons.
Instead, LD seems in a perma-beta state since it was out - and I was here on LD launch day.
My post #120 was provocatory - it means: "Will us ever get a patch dedicated to lockdown after the long strike of fancy things?" (costumes/accessories/maps/furnitures)
Of course there are coders ( new GH is 1 month old right? and I pushed half a million on day 1 in it ) but I feel like no one seems to care about Lockdown...
Thunderbog:
I'll check the sword bugs/nerfs, still didn't play LD after patch was out - but there is nothing about wrote in the mail
Cool.
Now make a thread proposing such changes to LD so posters don't yell at you for bumping this thread and posting in an irrelevant thread.
Nosrsly, I meant all of that literally in a flat monotone.
Sorry but, "Custom Lobbies with AT ON/OFF" is 100% relevant to the topic: "Disallow use of Auto Target in Lockdown"
Not implementing such an improvement is relevant too.
What I don't understand is, why you write, if you don't care about LD enough to buy some good UVs, like who play almost all of his SK time in LD does?
Leave LD discussions to LD players, let people like Feller write here while you go to your t2 runs :)
Also, you mean a guy who gets agrro, hyprocritical and egostisitcal over one additon to the game.
And not really, he just mentioned it. This is talking about remmoving COMPLETELY. Custom lobbies as I said before, has been mentioned and been bought back in a recent thread.
Psycho's t3, smart boy.
Wait, you know there are others who lose intrest due to the unbalence on the game.
Go back to Team deathma-I mean "Lockdown".
:p
"What I don't understand is, why you write, if you don't care about LD enough to buy some good UVs, like who play almost all of his SK time in LD does?"
Because unlike some elitist baka who care only for scoring haxor damage points while beating everyone with lesser power into the dirt while proclaiming their utter superiority, I actually understand things.
Feller is a bad example. Have you even READ his posts? The only thing he says is 'AA is for noobs get it out so i can kill ppl moar 99% plays no have skill they hav fake skill AKA AA' as a fundamental argument.
AA is for noobs, and only newbies defends that crap feature.
Want balanced LD??
Turn that crap off, and your heroes will be as bad as you psycho.
AA is like starcraft with endless minerals
Like super mario 3 with the magic cloud
Like quake with autoaim
Like call of duty with wallhack
Like gta with money hacks
Only losers USE Autoaim, if you're a loser
*****put your loser comment here******
Want balanced LD??
Turn that crap off, and your heroes will be as bad as you psycho.
If you seriously believe that LD is imbalanced simply because of auto-target, you are wrong. WRONG. We could go back to the time of Copernicus when his contemporaries thought the Earth was flat, the Sun orbited the Earth, and they all walked around in animal skin togas curing the common cold with trial by compurgation and drinking animal semen and they still could not be as wrong as you are right now. I knew you consistently left really crappy comments, but this just culminates all of that real nicely. Congrats, you've officially been inducted into the Spiral Knights Forums Peanut Gallery. I've seen the worst of players dominate whole auto-target teams alone with no auto-target. If a pro like yourself can't even handle something so negligible, then your title should be brought into question.
I wish everyone who plays LD regularly would just get spontaneously vaporized by alien lasers or something. You PvPs are the second worst people ever to disgrace humankind.
Most of thiose are hacks or exploits. AT is an mechanic implemented by the devs.
And the small miniscule respect for you is lost.
Lol.
Whining about AT is for "Leet" players who are imature.
@Dando
Is this the guy who we should leave the LD matters to?
Are you high?
@Bacon Strip
Why remove Auto Aim? Just add in some new mini-game and get rid of whiners.
@Feller & Atrum
“When we plant a rose seed in the earth, we notice that it is small, but we do not criticize it as "rootless and stemless." We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed. When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped; nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development. The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change; yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.”
~W. Timothy Gallwey
Add a 1vs1 mode without Autoaim
Or a new LD for people with 2 hands that don't need AA.
That's a great idea
Loockdowners with AA for newbies
And a real PvP
Pawnsmack, atrium... You say that i whine and all that.. But.. Can any of you face me in the arena?????
Remember I have AUTOAIM NEWBIES VERY HIGH on my flourish.
"Turn that crap off, and your heroes will be as bad as you psycho."
You're joking. 'Heroes'?
I don't idolize anyone, let alone a few people online.
It's funny though, you seemed to have trouble enough trying to kill me in GvG last time.
"AA is for noobs, and only newbies defends that crap feature."
I could say the same about you and your precious UVs, but I prefer to actually use my brain.
"*****put your loser comment here******"
...You do realize by putting a comment into your self proclaimed 'loser' section, you just called yourself a loser.
"AA is lame just like hacks in other games"
Only if it's as lame as your arguments/excuses will I be worried.
Your arguments suck Feller. 'Turn off AA noobs' Seriously? You sound like a five year old complaining mommy threw out his favourite spoon.
Oh, I'm sorry, I meant bottle.
Pawnsmack, atrium... You say that i whine and all that.. But.. Can any of you face me in the arena?????
Well, you're not helping your elitist image, that's all I know.
Maybe they'll combo spam with AT and a FF just to troll :D
~Sev
@Feller
And exactly who are you?
Actually yes I can 1 vs 1 you. With Auto Target turned off too. ._. But you didn't get anything off of the quote did you?... Also what is this "Auto Aim", that you speak of? Do you mean Auto Target? And why does everyone call me "Pawnsmack", or "Pawn"?... -.-
@Psy & Sev
Be careful guys... He might rage quit the forums...
The amount of complete and utter >.< in this thread is so large, it makes my brain hurt. I would comment, but I like being sane (and also, it's midnight).
And this is what made me wonder.
Was you getting your account stolen a warning to not be a total arse?
Because that just shows that your an elitist manchild.
Hah.
It's funny, I'm a bomber fool. So that's invalid.
@Sev
Should I grind for one?
@kiplik
Lol. Lost my sanity 5 years back.
Yeah I lost my sanity to a girl named ---
Owait..
I was never sane anyway.
~Sev
The solution:
2 SKs.
With and without Feller.
"Aimbot."
Hahlol, if you're still defining AA as an aimbot you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Ya auto aim actually helps a lot for people so are you doing this for your own selfish needs because your good at aiming, or do you have some personal issues with it, either way if they took it away I'd get my revenge on you in LD with a hammer
Some people need it for extra aiming so shut your yap or I will knock it off with a hammer
AA = Aim Assist
Please define : assist
No seriously, AA may seem to help aim, but it is definitely not Aimbot. If it is aimbot, it would have help you attack your target behind your back when your cursor is actually in front. AIM ASSIST PEOPLE! NOT AIM BOT
By the way, AA does not work 100%. players are always on the move, you shoot a pulsar, they will get out of the way. That's where NO AA is better than AA. SEE THAT! WE DON'T ALWAYS USE AA!
Specifically:
"if we remove AA from the ecuation, for me EVERYTHING could be way more easy, allowing me to masive kills without problem."
"if there's one player in this game that knows the differece between AA and no AA attacks, is me."
...HAHAHAHAHAH the irony is so rich there I could magnetize it.

Oh you have 1 bar of latency? Now tell me how you can't get owned?
No seriously if you have over 150ms of ping, you are gonna have a very bad time. I tried, and obviously, didn't turn well.
Let me give you an example of NOT AA :
If he swings at you from the right, then he swings at you to the right, that isn't AA, it is the cursor moving from the left to the right.
AA only activates when your enemy is within a 90 degree radius infront of you, that means 45 degree to the left, 45 degree to the right. (my estimates only) It helps adjust your swing to hit the enemy.
BUT! Aimbot is when your enemy is anywhere around 360 degree of your player, and your knight wasn't suppose to hit in the direction of the cursor, then suddenly it swings towards the enemy. That my friend, is aimbot, which does not exist in this game.
Guys ! It seems this thread is going to be like one I remember...please don't make it be !
******************
And seriously Feller, I am not sure if you are trolling or...or...serious ? You just copy paste your words over and over, no logic at all. First it is called "AT" = Auto Target not "AA" = Auto Aim. Second, Auto Aim is Completely different than aimbot in FPS , because in FPS Aimbot "Aims" for you with 100%, which means no work at all. Unlike the "Auto Target" in Spiral Knights, where an enemy have to be in a 90 degree radius to be hit. Actually "AT" makes it harder to play unless you have bad latency, "Which I don't think you have even that you seem to have 2 bars, bars means nothing." You can't do crowd damage with "AT" unlike without it, that means it is more an advantage for "Egostic-Elitist-Prideful-Idiotic-Richies-Haxxers-Super Duper UVers" people.

Hope you understand my post, although I think you will just Ctrl+C your quotes and Ctrl+V all over again.
Behold the Triple Post !
Seriously, the save button is very sensitive <3
Here is a solution I just thought of, what if there was a feature in the colosseum where it says, do you want to do LD with Auto Aim or LD without Auto aim, and you choose which one, because all the players in the LD game version you chose will not have auto aim (if you chose non auto aim) or will (if you chose with auto aim). There problem solved
Easiest solution would be custom matches and filter search:
Allow to host a custom match with these options:
1) AT ON/OFF
2) Only full 5* allowed ON/OFF
3) Immunity Frames ON/OFF
4) Heart Trinkets ON/OFF
5) CE reviving ON/OFF
6) UVs ON/OFF
7) Polaris ON/OFF
8) Hammer ON/OFF
9) Striker Boost breakable ON/OFF
The coliseum would change from a click-only-and-wait to a lobby where you can see hosted matches with their options, and choose what to join, or host your own ( like a Torchlight 2 lobby ).
Everyone could play the game they want. You want all ON? go on. All OFF? you can. Maybe you just don't want 2* noobs playing in your match? Choose the option. AT is not game-breaking but heart-trinkets are? Choose the first ON and the second OFF.
If you have other 7 players around who like the same options set, you'll play a match you can enjoy.
However, let's get real. OOO will never patch LD. They care only about accessories and costumes.
In 1 year, LD didn't update, ever. ( I won't count "spectate" as meaningful ). Not even some barebone matchmaking with team balancing.
