Happy Monday forum goers!
I bring forth information about the camera controls for A Realm Reborn since they are an aspect of the game that we have received a large amount of feedback on.
In A Realm Reborn, there will be settings for both standard MMO camera controls as well as the current settings that everyone is used to. On top of that, we will be implementing a type of rear-view mirror feature that will allow players to check behind them! How convenient is that?!

oooh, fancy. rearview. now i can see that level-over-9000 gob basilisk chasing me down to feast on my soul.
nice to see we can keep the current controls too. I generally don't leave my hand on my mouse and play with KB only whenever possible. WASD+IJKL -

As long as mouse-look functions as smoothly and laglessly as it does in other (non-FFXI/XIV) MMOs, I'll be happy.

I just wish we could adjust the left & right sensitivity. Unlike a joystick using the keyboard leads to weird gradual turns and really annoying sharp turns (I use numpad for steering)... something like:
Hold 8 & Press 7
Tap 5
Run w/e distance (notice you need to turn left)
Tap 4
Tap 4
Tap 4
Run w/e distance (notice you need to turn right)
Tap 6
Tap 6
Tap 6
Run w/e distance (notice you missed ramp!)
Tap 5
Tap 7
Tap 2
Tap 5
Hold 8 & Press 7
Hold 6
Hold 4
Hold 6
Tap 7
Hold 8
Tap 5
etc... -

Rear view would be so awesome for Hamlets. <3

It wouldn't hurt to be able to raise the angle a bit more, to be able to adjust the positioning/centering and to be able to zoom a bit more further.

Well... the current control scheme is mostly balls anyway... It's nice to still keep it for the people who just have really become accustomed to it. The only thing I want, but am not very hopeful of seeing these days is getting closer to the keyboard controls from FFXI.
If I had to choose between what we have now and a more mouse centric mainstream control scheme I'd go for the mouse controls, provided they actually worked... but if I really had complete freedom to choose it would be FFXI's Full Keyboard set up. -
07-31-2012, 04:09 PMAyamiaI don't know about you, but I think I got very, very close to FFXI keyboard settings with the current possibilities. Atleast the way I used to play in FFXI. Loving the cameramovement when menus are up (shift + arrows)!Quote:

I wonder what "standard MMO camera controls" are supposed to be... I though that's what this game was already trying to emulate with the current camera controls. I would be plenty happy to go back to using the Directional keys like XI and to actually have a functional target/menu system so I don't have to use a mouse.
