My Controller Died

[cheolsu]

easily the most common excuse for when someone fails in a duty. like i'm supposed to believe they're really a good player, except their controller died. a really good player who can't keep their controller charged

I lost count the amount of times my controller died while in frontline.

I can't count the times I accidentally pulled my keyboard cord out of my computer while in a dungeon and had to do the rest of it with only my mouse.

It happen on PS4

Well, I mean, it does happen though. Can't play with a controller and not do your level best to ignore the blinking empty battery symbol on the screen lol. #PS4Lifefacts ;D

Sometimes it's not even the controller dying, but something causing the controller to "pause" for a moment (PC problem). The fix for that is to disable the Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator.

If I had 500 gil for every battle wiped, and the person who started the wipe types "lol controller died"...

I play with a wired Xbox One controller on my PC. It really does sometimes decide "I need a break" and does that Windows "Device unplugged" sound effect followed a few seconds by the "Device plugged in!" one. My brother has a similar problem with a PS4 one.

It can be used as an excuse, but it happens.

Like my father always said: Shit happens, son.

I'm on ps4, using one controller while I keep the other plugged in and charging. Can't even count how many times it ran out of battery and gave out on me while playing. Just usually you wouldn't notice this happening, cause I've gotten very fast in jumping to my ps4 and grabbing the charged one xD
