LOL. The last thing this game needs is more unresponsive controls.

PS3 is a modern console which support a multitude of HIDs (Human Interface Devices).
It is not 8-bit nintendo which accepts only the grey boxy control pad.


That being said, CCP has been lacking in performance which comes to balancing KBM to controller.
(examples: VEhicle acceleration, vehicle high speed turns, suit turn rates [instant for mouse], vehicle module selection, suit squad orders etc)

That's right, I'm saying NERF THE KB/M! This is a CONSOLE GAME, so a CONSOLE CONTROLLER shouldn't be the inferior method of playing the game in almost every situation! If this keeps up you're going to see all ds3 users in death taxi's and in fat suits with HMG's or scout suits with mass drivers just so they don't have to be out-strafed by another platform's control method.

The ability to instantly switch strafe direction with a kb/m has gone on long enough. CCP needs to implement an automated deadzone when moving from one direction to the opposite direction. kb/m has held the advantage with tanks and infantry for the longest time, it's time CCP does something about it.

If you HAVEN'T noticed it in game yet, watch for people who are able to change strafe direction on a dime. They already have the ease of a mouse's easy-mode tracking, they don't need uber strafing on top of it when the ds3 has no ability to do the same. A ds3 has a deadzone where you actually have to pretty much stop moving for a moment to switch directions unless you roll the analogue stick 180 degrees to reach the other direction, in which case you might as well be stopping due to the strafing slowdown that causes.


I DEMAND EQUAL STRAFING ABILITY FOR ALL INPUT METHODS!

Now HATE me kb/m users, 'cause on the 0.01% chance that this actually get's fixed, you guys are TOAST dealing with what WE deal with all the time! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Try kb/m, you only need a basic keyboard and mouse.

get good *****. A nonfactor like you has no reason to be whining about sh!t. That is all good day sir :)

i hope you realize in every situation except for tank maneuvering KB/M are at a disadvantage because of how bad the input is, i also know plenty of ds3 user who are much better than KB/M people, just stop complaining

...kb/m has held the advantage with tank...

False



How about today... Nothing stoping you. Why does console have to equal controller only? Controller sux imo and i hate the cost and hax associated with PC, which leaves me with what? Well dust 514. Use it yourself or go to a game that doesn't offer it... There are only like ... Every other fkn game...

Mouse and keyboard is superior to ds3,i still own a lot of people with my ds3 so i dont care.

Well once you have enough SP to field a decent fit I should clarify before I get jumped. Point is it's a choice.

So being able to move at almost LAV speed in an armor tank with no speed mods whatsoever doesn't give the kb/m an advantage? Being able to track with the turret on easy mode with a mouse doesn't give the kb/m an advantage? Then I'll ask you, what do you think constitutes as an advantage?

As for the second quote, I refuse to switch to a PC's controls just to do well on a CONSOLE game. It's stupid that it is even an issue here. It's a ps3 game, therefore ps3 controls should respond AT LEAST as well as any other input method offered. If it doesn't then it throws off game balance, and no gamer can rely on a crutch like using a known superior control method and really be respected for being good at a game flooded with players who use the ds3.

Awww look at all these KB/M noobs.

Drop the KB/M and watch what'll happen. You'll get decimated.

You lack in ability to use the input the system was designed for so you look at the KB/M the same way you looked at Caldari Logi's/TAR/Flaylocks/MDs and every other blatantly skilless form of playing you could find.

You run KB/M because you suck. Don't try and defend yourself we are already fully aware.

People running around here spouting all this bulls*** about KB/M not being a huge advantage over DS3. We have TWO deadzones, did you read that? TWO!

One with each joystick. What makes you think it's easy to track you with the right while you move left and right instantly when we can't switch back and forth with our aim at 1/4 the speed you can strafe? Then you take into consideration that we also have to account for our own strafe.

Don't come in here with this bulls*** and act like you have any idea what you are talking about. Play with a controller you bunch of little girls.

have you tried using the search function? have you looked at the dev posts? do some research.

Dust 514: KB/M MLG Strafe Master *VOODOO*

Some ds3 users being able to beat some kb/m users doesn't mean that the issue doesn't need to be fixed, it's a huge gaping hole in the balance of the game

Mentions how planetside2 for the PS4 is going to run on separate serves than PC version, not because of compatibility reasons since the consoles are now turning into PC's, but because in trial runs controller users couldn't keep up with KB/M users.

Says enough.

Putting the ball back to your court.
You are ranting as you are annoyed and scared and in your mind allocate all your losses to "coz they kbm xeat".

My guess is you weren't here deep enough in the open beta:
KBM support came in September 2012, before that me and many other current KBM users mastered the DS3.
Your claim that every current KBM user can't compete with DS3 is utter bull.


Okay, you say DS3 is harder for you as it has two joysticks and therefore two deadzones?
Okay you have to adapt to those deadzones.
You have two SIMILAR control methods so it's easier for your brain to handle those.
KBM has two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT control method philosophies which you have to use at the same time and combine into one, the KB and the mouse.
Ask any person who hasn't history of 1st person KBM shooters trying to learn KBM if it's easy to manage both.


Both DS3 and KBM needs getting accustomed to. It takes time to get teach control to your spinal cord.


Did you btw realise that few infantry strafes are EASIER to do on DS3? Prolly no if you haven't mastered both.
- Circle '8' strafe (to add more evasion in 3D fights)
- 'Orbit' strafe around target (when orbiting you don't have to do actions on your fingers, your capacity is let free to tune the orbit and focus on other things)


So in the end the 'war' between DS3 and KBM dilutes into personal preferences of each user. Both are legit, both have pros and cons.
And I repeat the third time in this thread: imbalances DO have to be fixed.


MinivanSurvivor,
Stop dissing other human beings by their preferred control method. Be yourself a true king and master both control methods.
