It's okay to fail solo duties

[Minali]

In the process of the discussion and double checking with a friend, I learned people playing with a controller quite literally are unable to read tooltips, unless they have a touchpad or mouse around or so and jump over half a dozen hoops. This is incredibly absurd and I can see how this makes it harder to navigate skills in solo duties, even though they have roughly the same pattern. Sometimes it's the minor differences making, well, a difference. How CBU3 never came up with a good solution for this is beyond me. Of course this isn't the only thing that might be between you and a win if you consider these mechanics difficult in itself, but it's certainly not helping.

This isn't true - virtual mouse mode (L1 + R3) allows you to bring up a cursor and hover over things without plugging in a mouse.

I'm not a controller player, so I don't know how well this feature is signposted, though.

EDIT: D'oh, reply beat me to it.
