AA isn't how you think it works. Apparently a handful of people actually do know how it works, because there is this magical thing called the internet where people go do our research for us and they give us information about things we want to know, yet some people don't bother with it, and sound like dumbasses over the Internet. Anyways, once you go and find out what AA really does, I would also like to mention here are many other snipers with higher AA than the 1000 yard stare. The reason why that is so popular is because out of all the high impact snipers, this is the easiest to get. Hereafter us a good example. It has the highest AA in game right now I'm pretty sure, why does no one complain about it? Because in trials and in game, people don't use it. Why? Because something like that is harder to obtain. It also takes away the exotic slot, my point is, many other snipers have higher AA yet no on talks about it because it's not being used. Only reason why the 1000 yard stare is being pointed out is because it is the most used sniper along with the fact that AA is looked down upon, which is usually the obvious answer to something that isn't working right.

[quote]PLEASE REMOVE THE 1000% AIM ASSIST FROM THE CRUCIBLE. THIS IS ABSURD AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN NERFED IN THE LAST 2 UPDATES P.S. PLEASE ONLY TALK TRASH ABOUT MY KD AND DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE WEAPON. THIS FORUM ONLY EXISTS TO BASH ME AND NOT TALK ABOUT A WEAPON TWEAK. OH WAIT THATS ONLY HALF OF YOU.[/quote] Since there is confusion. I am referring to "aim assist and hidden hand" as a combo "aim assist" I know they are different. I am talking about 1000 yard stare with a good hidden hand roll. It is just to much.

I've explained this before, and I'll say it again. Even without aim assist, players will still be able to place a bullet in between your eyebrows with their sniper since it does not aim for you like you all seem to assume. The whole aim assist controversy going on right now is just plain silly. It doesn't aim for you. This isn't GTA. It doesn't curve the bullet. Not unless it's a primary weapon or heavy machine gun, which actually does benefit from aim assist's bullet magnetism. The most aim assist will do for snipers is slow the reticle while it's hovering on a target's body, and drag the scope a bit on a moving target. The bullet magnetism aspect of aim assist is almost non-existent, even on snipers with the highest possible aim assist, whereas primaries like MIDA Multi-tool benefit greatly from it.

Edited by FlandreScarlette: 11/8/2015 7:55:45 PMI know it's not used to curve bullets, but helping retards line up head shots should not be a thing. If you can't point at a head of your own skill, you need to find another game to play. At the very least, not as much as Destiny has it. Some console aim assist is typical, but damn, Destiny has too much. It's a friggin' hidden stat? Really? You can hit 0 aim assist and still have noticeable aim assist on Efrideet's Spear? Really? Scopes? Aim Assist? For god's sakes. No sniper sway either. Hidden hand? ... Sure, 1000 Yard doesn't have the highest aim assist. But with Hidden Hand and the right scope, it hits upwards of 80 Aim Assist. Jesus. And the reason people use it over others is because it's a high impact sniper. Perfect for all of your sniping needs. Because it's common? Yes, but at the same time, it being common because it's given to you doesn't explain all the hidden hand people I'm seeing.

More like 1000% yard satire

https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/170566095/0/0 Since you had the time to complain about something so [b]pointless[/b], maybe you will have the time to read this post which essentially makes your complaint absolutely irrelevant. Have a good day.

Aim assist means nothing to me because the sniper I use is the one I feel comfortable using.
-
You would think that someone would find out what aim assist actually does before looking like some dumb -blam!- ranting about something he doesn't even know about...

(BLINK)

Seems like you fall into the category of people who have no idea what they're talking about. :)
-
Literally no variety in the TTK

Edited by TheWatcher: 11/11/2015 10:13:04 AMNo no no... it's 1000 yard scrub assist. Lol
-
Raid sniper and hereafter have much more aa
-
U seem to forget aim assist with snipers in trials can be bad too, example spawn orb sniping scope drags towards slider ..
-
Not even the highest AA sniper.
-
Snipers don't have aim assist but instead if it goes over an enemy it slows down very slightly so just get good
-
This has less aim assist and is less snappy than LDR yr 1, harder to use and people still moan. Grow up
-
Almost every other sniper has more aim assist
-
The high aim assest 1000yrd stares are rare. Most people don't have one with hidden hand. So just learn to out gun
-
Shawdow of old had more
-
I don't get this post. Most snipers have more aim-assist. (Defiance of Yasmin, Hereafter, LDR, maybe Longbow)
-
You know, id like to see them take out all methods of assistance in making bullets hit their target for one week. just ooooone week. So that we could see how bad ( most likely) or good ( nah we all suck) we really are, and decide from there if it was to be re-implemented.
-
Use a sniper for a change and you'll see that no matter how much AA you have, it still won't make you anywhere near [spoiler]average.[/spoiler]

RIP Thorn / Felwinter + Bolt Grenade. Sorry buddy.
-
Bro the new IB sniper will have a max of 94% AA. More than anything else in the game. Just check PD.

Wait till iron banner wen everyone gets Weyloran's March, higher aim assist than every single sniper in the game now and since vanilla
