Schalac 17 Dedicated Individuals Committed to Killing 1	Posted - 2013.03.21 23:33:00 - [1] - Quote I think it is about time that CCP add in other control schemes, southpaw, legacy, customized button assignment. The default controller setup sucks and the keyboard/mouse setup is clunky and unresponsive sometimes.
Schalac 17 Dedicated Individuals Committed to Killing 3	Posted - 2013.03.22 16:02:00 - [2] - Quote I will bump this everyday until it gains traction and CCP finishes the UI. It should of been one of the first things finished going into open beta considering that controls are the ground floor of the game.
Dany 7A5H G I A N T 17	Posted - 2013.03.22 16:33:00 - [3] - Quote Whilst I agree that this needs to get looked at, at the same time there is a LOT that needs and is getting fixed. That being said i'm sure I read in a Dev post this is coming. At the same time, I'm confident a lot of us are adaptable enough to learn the current control scheme and use it well until this option is available, BY WHICH TIME you might now even want to change considering your now in a comfy zone..

Controls are the foundation of any game. To look at them as an afterthought is poor way to develop a game. And you think you are so adaptable huh? Do me a favor then. Go play any FPS that has southpaw controls and set it to that and then go into a match and see how long it takes you to adapt to playing backwards. It is not a "comfy zone" request. I have been playing FPS with southpaw controls for 20 years now starting since GoldenEye on my Nintendo 64. I have passed on playing many great shooters simply because they offer no southpaw support. DUST will not get any concessions from me just because I like the concept of the game. Control, control, control. That is the base of a game and they need to add it now before any other tweaks or fixes. Fix the KB/M settings so you can customize keybinds, and make the mouse more accurate/responsive. Add southpaw, legacy and custom button setups to controller. At this point I would even just take a swap sticks option. You don't have to do a lot of programming to have A do B and B do A at the behest of a menu option.
Persephone Takumi United Clone Ground Froce 2	Posted - 2013.03.22 19:16:00 - [5] - Quote ^ I agree with the control customization, especially the keyboard and mouse. I can only use it to snipe, and even then, it is shoddy at best. Let me customize the buttons the way that I need them. After all, CPP does not feel that there is a one right way to play their games.
Schalac 17 Dedicated Individuals Committed to Killing 4	Posted - 2013.03.23 11:07:00 - [6] - Quote I like your thoughts Persephone Takumi. This is a discussion that needs to be had. CONTROL, it is not an after thought.
Schalac 17 Dedicated Individuals Committed to Killing 4	Posted - 2013.03.23 21:45:00 - [7] - Quote We have to keep talking about this so something is done.
KalOfTheRathi CowTek 267	Posted - 2013.03.24 06:05:00 - [8] - Quote Well, self bumping could get you banned. But here is a free bump for you anyway. Obviously you have no idea what is on the To Do list from CCP/Shanghai. One very important item is remapping of the entire input system. That would include support for your Socialist Hands. They have stated it is being worked on and it will be released when it is ready. I would hope they would include it during the Graphics release along with the UI/Menu upgrades. But, who knows?
Rowdy Railgunner Resheph Interstellar Strategy Gallente Federation 6	Posted - 2013.03.26 12:42:00 - [9] - Quote Look people. I know that southpaws are in the minority. You have no skin in the game, so to speak. But listen to me. I am not just talking about southpaw. I am talking about all of the control schemes we as a FPS community have grown up with. DUST514 has the most atrocious controls of any FPS this generation that I have played. Even KB/M people will agree with me. We need to let CCP know that controls are what they should be focusing on. First and foremost, controls make or break a game. Honestly I blame their inexperience with UE3 as the culprit. The only game that I can say had worse control than DUST is Wolfenstien for the 360. If some of the Raven programmers are now working for CCP I can understand why controls are so bad in DUST. There is no difference with aim assist on or off. Mouse tracking is spotty at best. They way they have the controller set up and the way they have the keyboard set up are both examples of people that have never seriously played a FPS. Your fingers are jumping all over the place to do the simplest of actions. We as a community need to shout at CCP to let them know that we want custom controls, if not for you, but for the rest of us and the future players that might join us. We also want higher quality controls. We want tracking that is going to accurately represent in game what we are doing on the gamepad-KB/M-Move. We want tight, responsive controls that are going to give us the best experience we can get. Because no matter how pretty, or how expansive a game is, if it sucks to use the controls, we aren't going to play it over the hundreds of other games that are already out and coming out that just downright play better. And the FPS market has a lot of competition.
Orhan Tozan Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.04.01 14:02:00 - [10] - Quote I agree with you. I have a CoD reaction when I have to change from weapon quick, so I always click the triangle instead R2 . And O has to be crouching (in my opinion). (Sorry for my bad english )
