Question about PC/Keyboard controls

[whiskeybravo]

So, my question is: Do any controller players know a better way of going about doing this? Or am I screwed in Alliances without a mouse and keyboard?

It's better to ignore them xD

Seriously, though. One of my bigger problems with the controllers - targeting sucks.

If you don't want to use target scrolling (I only did this in a2s as driver) the only advice I can give is to customize the target filter so you can target everything. I have mine split so when weapon is drawn my target is limited to enemies, then with sheathed weapon I can target non-party members and other things. It still gets kinda annoying (cuz you draw your weapon when you go to cast, so that means you can only select one person at a time). But it's equally annoying to have to scroll through 1000 things to find the right enemy or whatever.. At the end of the day I just don't worry about alliance member lol

Also, you could hook a mouse up to the ps4 if you wanted. I have a wireless keyboard with a touchpad on it that works as mouse, though not well enough to use it other than random selections like the above and moving around abilities on my fancy hotbars

I actually prefer playing with a controller for my Tanks and Drg, because I like the ease of use buttons for my hotbar rotations.

Targeting does get a little iffy in tightly packed areas (like PvP, for example) but I usually get around this pretty well by circle jerking my targets. Your targeting should automatically target whatever is closest to the centre of your screen, so if you aim well with your screen (3rd person shooter experience can come in handy here) you usually get the target you want, or near enough that a quick rotate left or right will get you the one you wanted. Takes some practice. PvP trained my fingers to circle jerk through targets pretty quickly though.
