Hi Everyone!

Id like to share my feedback and experience with PA. Thought id give myself a month or so of use to get familiar with it and be able to give a more objective review. To give it some context, I spend most of my time in PvP. I am an average/above average player (1.5kd overall) and I have never used anything like this before to compare against. I use it on my main acc and I rarely use snipers.
 

Usability/Functionality

- Its of course not as simple as double clicking your D2 shortcut and loading up. You need to run a .exe from an external USB, disconnect, then load up D2. Not at all an issue for me, but be aware its not a "set and forget" thing. You need to do these extra steps every time you wish to play and use PA.
- UI is very simple, very easy to set and change values. Maybe a little more of an explanation on the UI of each option would be great, but most likely not feasible. Once again, very easy to go to the PA forum and look these up (make sure you dont do this when you are playing)

Features

- Ill only comment on what I use. I have absolutely no desire or interest in using any misc features. I dont use this in any form in PvE. I use it more as strong aim assist in PvP to ensure I rarely miss my HC shots.  In that regard it works fine.
- I usually run fairly aggressive settings because I predominantly run close to mid range weapons. Otherwise for me it seems to make your reticle a bit "doughy." I run FOV anywhere from 3-6, smoothing from 8-20, stickiness at 9, spot either at 1 or 2. Dependent on who im playing against. I run more aggressive settings in the more competitive game modes. It seems to me these settings have most noticeable effect when you use a sniper, which is where these kind of things become extremely noticeable (to me anyway)
- Im not a fan of the lock on target option, it can pull your reticle in weird directions when it gets chaotic and actually be a detriment to your gameplay.
-The only times PA seems to not function well is when there is Latency, which this program seems to introduce a little of. Combine it with Bungies terrible networking and sometimes it can be pretty unhelpful.

Security

- Cant comment on this, as ive had no issues so far. Im not using anything obvious, so id say im ok at this point. (touch wood)

Support

- Once again not something ive needed to use. However this Forum seems very active and full of helpful people, so I have no doubt if I had any issues someone would reach out!
- The discord is great, especially for LFG, however I find most people wanting to run PvP are using alt/new accs and are hipfre revoker headshot machines, which makes me very uncomfortable to play with and also waaayyyyyy too obvious. So if anyone is running older or main accs with legit stats and uses subtle settings id love to play with you!


Conclusion

- I dont have anything to compare this against, so for me it works as intended. The only gripes I have is the lock on target options are a bit funny for me and seem to work against me a little, and the latency (mostly from Bungies side to be fair) can mean that sometimes this will be inconsistent, which honestly is probably a good thing in terms of flying under the radar.
- This program hasnt turned me into a crucible god, nor do I want it to. My goal is to use this more and more subtley as I improve until I dont really need to use it anymore. You can definitely dime the settings, use the misc options and become unstoppable, which isnt something I care for. 
- My stats are still predominantly the same, but with some improvement for sure. I win some, I lose some - however its made me far more confident in my aiming and accuracy which makes me enjoy the game a whole lot more.
