Back Paddling is horrible.

My, I can't get over how amazing and incredibly epic that looked...

God damn it... is this sort of thing what people want? That's the oh so glorified PvP of a "standard MMO"?

trust me if the graphics were of 14 quality I would be in heaven lol

[Klefth]

Graphics really aren't my only issue there. As I said before, I still like good old RO better than WoW even to this day. And that's an older, sprite based MMO (and perhaps the only one in which the use of a mouse actually feels natural).

I keep reading the title of this thread as black pudding is horrible, which it is.

That is fine. I think that what input method the player uses does not make them better or worse.

There are technical and physical differences between various input devices that make them inherently better or worse in various ways. the only way to compensate for this is to cripple the advantages. but the only way to cripple a mouse and keyboard is to make them functionally inferior or butcher the control mechanics so that its harder to control your character the way you really should be able to.

I think this guys is pretty young.

Not really bud. I'm just not dead serious about shit matters that are lollable

The right mouse button held down turns the camera and the character. Left mouse button only turns the camera. It's like most current MMO's.

Ahh that's sweet.
I can see my purty mouf in ARR aswell then.
I haven't seen it in a vid so far and i aint in Alpha so I didn't know,
Also I didn't see it in any other MMO cause I don't do other MMOs.

Now, c'mon all you grown ups, let's go in the other room and discuss those super cereal issues we where discussing in this forum before that child came along and spoilled it for us. (lulz)

This is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I QUIT!!


No it isn't and no I don't. I LOVE the Q.Q at something when you have no idea how it actually works. Let's complain about something else via speculation.

[Cedri]

I never noticed it much in FFXI. I mean back peddling while locked on makes sense, but not while just wandering around.

Trust me you could not perform in any high end content in wow as a keyboard turner, sorry its not possible.

LOL I think its laughable you believe that. Strafe Left + Turn Left on keyboard controls on WoW was <.1s behind click turning. Also if someone accustomed to 100% keyboard controls had to reach over to their mouse to turn, its far slower than Strafe Left/Turn Left.

Maybe PVP where you are trying to constantly LOS your opponent by running and jumping random crazy directions non-stop its required to move with the mouse but for endgame its not required at all because nothing in the game (where you had to move directly backwards) was so fine tuned that .1s made any difference. The tightest timer in the game was Heroic LK's void zone drop (1.5s to move 12 yards away from people) and meele were able to get out of range by strafing on the keyboard.

Basically Strafe (which was added to Alpha V2.0) and turn (same direction as strafe you used) is so close to just free running backwards that its literally the same thing.
