Thumbsticks and aiming.

Hey All, While I am on an intel safari, I'd like to ask the group: [b][i]Does anyone have trouble aiming their weapons in Destiny?[/i][/b] I find that while lining up my shots, my right thumb will sometimes have trouble keeping the sight on target. If the weapon has any recoil, I then have all sorts of pain trying to line back up to get in a second shot. My caveat is that I have nerve damage in both of my arms which causes me to not really feel a lot in my left hand. I have some involuntary movement in lefty (Even controller dropping on occasion) and righty cramps a bit For most of the time my gross motor skills are OK, whilst the finer ones are the troublemakers. Does anyone have any sort of problems aiming like I do? You don't need to have nerve damage - I may just suck and am blaming it on my stupid arms :). If you do, how have you combatted this? I've put the controller settings on the slowest possible, but not changed the layout yet. I really suck because of it. I know my play style is not real great as well, but I would probably be a little better if I could keep aim. :) Thanks for any pointers or advice everyone.

  • Have you tried lowering or raising your sensitivity? I find that high sensitivity creates ghost movements when inputting a lot of commands with the joysticks. I'd also try gently pulling up on each of the sticks and rotating them at their farthest point to grind down any possible hitches on the controller. I have a neurological condition that causes spazzing in my hands during an episode so I understand. One thing you could do if you have the cash set aside is possibly buying a high end gaming controller. Just a few suggestions.

      I hear you, got nerve damage myself along with essential tremors. Thing I noticed most is that I am fighting with the aim assist which is throwing off my shots (don't even try to play on my bad days). Still haven't figured how me, aim assist, and disorder can have a loving relationship. Thing I have been trying in PvE since you have a little more time to react is to give it a half second to see what aim assist is going to do before I made adjustments.
