Thread: Patch 2.16 and gamepad issues

Issue:

(numbered in order of dire need of readjusting)

#1. Cross Hotbar lock + Animation Lock.
-Unable to change hotbars during an animation rendering gamepad a major hindrance.

#2. Default cursor (Gamepad with Micromenu)
-Previously the default cursor would default to free. Now the cursor defaults to your last micro menu choice. This is much more frustrating than the previous setting please readjust this. For example if i clicked "Micromenu>Logs>Crafting Log. The cursor would stay hovering the "log" section so if i decided to stand up and purchase more Buffalo milk from the npc i would have to cancel out of the micro menu an addtional time because the cursor is always showing instead of clicking on the NPC straight away like it previously was.

#3. Cursor Hovering on screen after using skills such as Flaming Arrow.
-The entire purpose of using Gamepad is to not have a mouse hovering on your screen. If i wanted to use mouse and keyboard i would. Why did they change this so that the mouse appears on your screen after using AoE skills? To get rid of this i have to click party chat or the micro menu.. and clicking the micro menu is extremely annoying right now taking #2 into consideration.....

#4. Market Board/Retainer putting items for sale.
-Previously it was set, so after you adjusted your price and quantity the cursor would move to "confirm" but now it goes to "cancel" which if you select it (being swift as most people like to do things quickly) it cancels the sale and you then have to readjust and try to hit confirm. Its so much easier and much more intuitive to set it to default to confirm as it previously was because the item doesnt actually go on sale until you release your retainer. PLEASE return the default to confirm not cancel. This new adjustment is very annoying.

#5. Crafting NQ/HQ
-When crafting now the devs have adjusted it so that you dont need to keep selecting HQ if you used HQ items on your previous synth but if you have both NQ and HQ and run out of HQ it wont default to NQ so youre constantly having to see which item youre out of. This is just replacing a problem with a problem. I prefer just selecting HQ if i want to use HQ and the default always being NQ but clearly people had to complain so now we have a new, and i feel more annoying issue.

#6. Auto run/Camera zoom
-Still an issue because some people still use auto run. Just needs adjusting so if you ever zoom your camera with L1 pressed it never puts you into auto run. This should be a simple fix i would think.

Thank you.

I don't like the new ground target controls on gamepad. I have to use the left stick and RB in order to move it now, and when using this I can't move my character. So I can no longer use ground target skills and move at the same time.

It was easier to control before, please change it back.

At the least it should be changed so I can move the ground target with the right stick. I'd rather lose camera controls briefly than movement controls.

No, the locked option makes it so you can only move it with the mouse.
