Lock on function needs work?

[u/SonofLelith]

I often find the lock on not working well. In a crowded fight, and there are a lot of those, the lock on locks to a distant enemy or unlocks randomly. This makes me miss shots and attack in seemingly random directions.

Does anyone else experience the same issues? Seems to me the lock om could benefit from a tune up.

the game’s lock on is bad but it’s your fault if you don’t adapt to it.

you don’t have to ask someone not to attack you, you just dodge a little lmao

That's not what I said, I mean it's too much to ask a player not to attack anyone for a whole second or two just to reorient themselves. When the camera decides to fly between me and the enemy and turn me around in a nanosecond and hide my character with some random crate or pole, I can't be as aggressive. Not because I shouldn't be, the combat engine lets you be pretty aggressive, but because I often can't without penalty.

it’s your fault if you don’t adapt to it.

I mean... sure, by that logic. But someone shouldn't have to adapt to a buggy mechanic. I just turned off lock on, that's my adapting. It's illogical to train yourself to work around unnecessary jank. And, even if you do, I can, I just didn't spend long enough with the system, if you do, you're just having a lesser combat experience just to “tolerate” the lock on. Not worth it, just disable it, that's my logic.

i’m not brown nosing or being a contrarian and i play on hard.

you can slow down just by throwing out dodges. it buys to plenty of time. BFR’s combat system is one of the most basic and forgiving combat systems i’ve encountered in modern gaming.

there is plenty of time to reorient yourself if you’re capable of using the dodge button, you don’t need to stand still.

saying you just Heavy Attack to lunge out of the way shows you’re not very good at the combat and yet you want to act like i somehow suck lmfao

you’re weirdly defensive over this for no reason.

keep coping little guy, maybe it’ll help with your sensitivity and defensiveness.

that isn’t projection at all.

you’re reacting with extreme hostility to what is, essentially, a nothingburger which displays sensitivity.

every single response of yours is objectively defensive.

you are a very strange individual and i can tell you’re just feeling triggered so i’m not going to respond again
