I'm kinda okay with handcannon accuracy bloom
I'm actually somewhat okay with handcannon accuracy bloom, that isn't to say that I think it's fine how it is currently but just that as a concept I don't think it needs to be completely removed. This is because for the longest time handcannons have supposed to be high damage close range revolvers/pistols that reward a skilled hand and pacing your shots. Key thing being PACING YOUR SHOTS. If you pace your shots and are at the appropriate range than "ghosts bullets" or accuracy bloom is not the menace many make it out to be. But yes, if you use a close range gun outside of it's appropriate range and spam the trigger then yes, you will run into accuracy problems and you're bullets will often miss. I don't seem anything wrong with that, not maybe at the moment the penalty is too high but as a concept I believe it completely aligns with handcannons main weapon philosophy of being a high damage close ranges revolver where you need to pace your shots.

13 RepliesIf it is on one weapon add it to all weapons and spamming the trigger on those weapons should cause ghost bullets as well. Because if every weapon type had to pace their shots the gun play in this game would go even more out the window and it would be a real special weapon meta.

25 RepliesEdited by Swiftlock: 9/14/2016 8:21:37 PMI don't see how pacing your shots will counteract the problems that bloom currently provides. Even if you pace your shots and your dot is on the target's head, bloom in its current form may still cause you to miss the target entirely if they're just a smidge outside of the mid-far sweet spot. Being punished so frequently because RNG decided that your bullet shouldn't hit the target is just bad game design for a weapon that's supposed to be accurate and powerful. Like you hinted towards, bloom should kick in at extreme ranges so that hand cannons aren't consistently competing with scout rifles, but as it stands right now, bloom causes more problems than it solves, and most HC's are just in a bad spot right now because of it.

5 RepliesI actually agree with you. The only thing I would add is that accuracy should[u] not[/u] be a hidden statistic. We need a bar that shows it. Lots of perks say they affect accuracy, but we don't know by how much, or what the base accuracy is for any weapon.

8 RepliesThen it doesn't reward those that figure out to control recoil. If you have to pace your shots then what's the -blam!-ing point of having fast fire rate hand cannons?

3 RepliesBiggest thing with it is that in competitive play, it leaves your bullets hitting up to RNG. With the game pushing to be competitive, leaving an RNG element to a bullet connecting isn't acceptable. I'm not a pro by any stretch, but when I ADS and have a shot perfectly lined up, I fully expect that bullet to go exactly where I aimed it in a Sci fi game like this.
