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

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.

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.

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

why it does make more sense ? i dont get it..

because you are just used to it, and it was implemented in FFXI like this way.. then its okay? ;XD

aha..

You know what's funny? That's pretty much the same reasoning from those that are in favor of backpedaling everywhere: because it works well on WoW and it's off-springs.

I created a video that demonstrates the standard keyboard and mouse controls that seem to be used in the alpha videos with keyboard and mouse. Since I can't and/or not allowed use alpha, I demoed it with Guild Wars 2 using a tool that shows my keystrokes and mouse clicks.

I hope this video helps non pc gamers understand that it is not limited. I doubt SE will push this onto controller users because analog sticks are best to allow your character move in all directions.

WARNING: I do use backpedaling.
