So I was on Twitch tv this one time and found this Destiny stream where a hunter was annihilating with Thorn in PVP, I asked him about his set up and it turned out he's using a keyboard and mouse. How is this set up fair for people using a controller?
Btw here's the stream: http://www.twitch.tv/vibez87
[b]HERE'S WHAT"S CONSIDERED A BANNABLE OFFENSE PLEASE READ:[/b]
http://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/11929
It states that things like modified console hardware (like an adapter) is banned.
Edit: every PC gamer knows keyboard and mouse is superior to controllers. That's why it's an unfair advantage, and to allow it where the majority is clearly expecting the other player to be using a controller when that is not the case is just deceitful.
Edit: crap like this don't even hurt me. It hurts the game and it's longetivity, no one wants to play a game that people can exploit freely whether it's PVE or PVP. So, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter soon this game will just be an afterthought

Edit: a lot of people think this is about using K+M. It is not. It is about using it in PvP against the average controller user. It is a huge advantage. No one is saying the best console player can't stand toe to toe with a K+M user but your average controller user will definitely lose most of the times.
All the cry baby KBM wannabes in this thread are trying to justify their bad behavior. If Destiny PVP is so inconsequential then why would you spend hundreds of dollars to get the a KBM set up. Ooh that bit of cognitive dissonance got you huh . Birds of the same feather flock together and it seems all the scumbag cheaters of Destiny have come to the aid of their king
So this is what Vibez think of people who refuse to spend the money so they can get on his level.
[quote]Yes maybe if it was actual PC gaming, it would, but since my turn rate is limited exactly the same as controller and I am stuck at 30 FPS with the rest of you peasants, your comparisons don't mean shit!
Stop trying to act like you know what you are talking about please, it is embarrassing for us all
Does my method of enjoyment really cause you so much pain?[/quote]
If it's not to your liking why don't you play another FPS game title on the PC with others who have the same set up instead of picking in controller users who you have an unfair advantage against
Facts: Keyboard + mouse is not a supported device you have to purchase an adapter on his case it's the Xim which costs about $124. You use a smartphone to configure settings. You can make any excuse you want but this sounds like modding to me
This has nothing to do with your preferences but rather your need to be noticed on this game for all the wrong reasons.
Til the time keyboard and mouse become standard devices on consoles, hooking it up so you can demolish players using controllers in the Crucible to feed your ego or some sense of having achieved something is plain dick-ish and considered cheating. If anyone can make any coherent counter argument then make it. Having the "opportunity" to buy it isn't a counter argument since I'm sure most people are either reluctant to spend their hard earned money so they can compete with scums like you, and most are even naive that such devices actually exist. [b]Saying Scuf controllers are allowed isn't a legitimate reason either because these are still in essence controllers with extra buttons, if you can't grasp the concept of the difference between aiming with a joystick on a controller and aiming a mouse then that's your bad. [/b]
This argument could be so easily resolved if only Bungie could make a statement on their stance in the subject. If they say it's allowed to attach said adapter to the system then I'll concede.
Within the language of the advertisement for a KBM adapter it states that the adapter is:
[b]"Undetectable
With most modded controllers it’s possible to be detected using a mods or rapider fire online; then you could find yourself banned. That’s no fun. This can be an annoying and frustrating nuisance with most modded controllers. However, the manufacturers of Titan One have said that their device cannot be detected online and that it’s completely invisible."[/b]
[b]EVEN IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THESE ADAPTERS IT DECLARES THAT THESE DEVICES ARE BANNABLE OFFENSE[/b]
I believe we're finish here.

Alright, this is pretty bullshit. Using K&M on a console doesnt give you an advantage at all. It just improves certain gaming characteristics and fails on other factors. 1. Senstivity... Yes, KnM destroy controllers, but only on PC. And thats due to mouse acceleration. A feature that doesnt occur on console. If you ever plug a controller into a pc and play (For example) COD. Trying to aim with that controller is so different from what it would be on console. Thats because every games input systems change between the two. PC and Console have their two own input calculations. And its like many people bring up, you have turning speed which is capped on console because of the lack of mouse acceleration.... 2. Aim Assist... Alright, so we all know the lethal aim assist systems in console games. Whether thats target acquisition or target tracking (Difference between pressing aim, and following the target with the joystick) When you play a game with KnM and aim assist exists. I guarantee you that you wont be able to snap on a target for shit, and thats because you have natural instinct to snap towards a target with the mouse. This just doesnt occur with a joystick. Hence why AA is a thing on console.... Even more annoyingly is that most console games dont let you turn multiplayer AA off... Which means youre probably going to be screwing yourself up alot with target acquisition... If you can target snap with mouse on Console mechanics... Kudos to you... 3. Motion... This is seen best in car racing games. So im going to be using them as an example (Mind you, people with hair triggered controllers experience this with sparrows so....) On a controller, you have about 4-5 mm of input space on all sides. Take into account the circular expansion and that becomes about 30 odd mm of input space from side to side. Point is, you push that stick 1mm, and you creep along. Push it all the way, and you run along. On a keyboard, keys arent pressure sensitive (And neither was that x button on the ps2...... (GT fanatics will know what i mean)Meaning if you push the key, there is only two possibilities. No input, or full input.... Meaning youre not moving at all, or your -blam!-ing sprinting. (Games like RB6 siege, this becomes apparent) 4. So to use KnM on console means you lose out on all above, and the only advantage you get, is slight increase in accuracy and recoil control (Depending on your game) ONCE youre used to the console mechanic and hotkeys. The reason i love keyboard so much more, is the option to have so many more options. And control it all with one hand. But the most that helps in destiny, is a titan skate here. A few jumps there. Otherwise even hotkeys arent useful in many games. The last point have to make on the argument. Is the amount of people that dont have the money to buy themselves beefy pc's, or the amount of games that pc just doesnt get, that they still wish to play. I have a mate who loves destiny, but no lifes on pc 100% of the time. So playing on console with a controller, hes at a disadvantage. For him, getting KnM would even the odds. Srsly... Considering the devices available now, including the fact that both sony and microsoft officially licence modded controllers now (Or in microsofts case, makes them) KnM isnt really that big of a deal....Oh and the fact that Sony has their own adapter, and Microsoft funds particular groups. Suggests that its something they're happy for their player base to do. And Bungie knows this, and more often then not, they're sandboxes are played with KnM's.... Just consider all this before complaining about it. You're really not at an advantage or disadvantage. Its just a change of traits that improve one thing but ruin another....(for those that know more then i do about all this)(I dumbed it really down so that this wouldnt be an essay)
