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.

Cheating no Majorly unfair advantage, hell yes

1 ReplyI use a controller for some fps games on the PC, why not vice versa?
-
3 RepliesHow do you actually set up a PS4 to use a mouse and keyboard in games? I've never been able to get the mouse to work and I can only use the keyboard to type messages or scroll through home screen.
-
Keyboard and mouse gives you a huge advantage and there is a reason it's not natively supported in game on consoles, because it gives you a huge advantage.
-
So... does it matter? Sure, he uses a keyboard/mouse set up, but what of it? He's not actively modding the game or his controller, he's just using a different controller. Personally, I don't have any problem with that.
-
It's cheating - an unfair advantage [spoiler]Cheating; [i]"act dishonestly or [u]unfairly[/u] to gain an [u]advantage[/u][/i] [/spoiler]

I say if u want to use mouse and keyboard like a stone age man go back to them pc get off the console consoles have always had controllers and adding a keyboard is just wrong and and wrong But if it does give you a advantage then -blam!- it even more
-
2 RepliesI play on both PC and console and I love the Keyboard/Mouse combo. Much more control and comfort. I've been thinking of getting a XIM for a long time but seeing the angry responses here just clutched it for me. Definitely getting one now.
-
It is cheating
-
It's pretty sweaty and low but hey, it's just a game. Just know that the K+M users are nothing without it ;)
-
I think a bigger questions is how difficult is it to buy a keyboard and mouse?
-
2 RepliesIt's not cheating as such, it's just a cheap and nasty tactic for try hards...
-
If it's allowed to be used then it's not cheating.
-
Why complain
-
hmm ever seen the programmable controllers? or the one for 150$ from Xbox? that with the paddles underneath? THATS the future..and the console guys manufacturer are absolutely ok with it.. and ive seen some of those in action.. =) as a normal average player you dont stand a chance..
-
Damn, people do this? That's why I'm getting wrecked in Trials! Seriously though, as an old school keyboard and mouse computer FPS player back in the day (Quake 2 and Unreal Tournament), that setup is definitely superior and should not be used competitively on consoles. Definitely an extreme unfair advantage which should not be present through hardware. Consoles are supposed to be equal, that's why you can't play PS4 vs. PS3.
-
it's cheeseball gaming. go back to counterstrike, cool kid
-
1. Who really cares? 2. I bet its less than a half of a percent that use these things. Soo many other things about the game that's wrong and you're gonna bitch about this...
-
So that explains a whole bunch of ?s for me. I agree. There should only be 1 universal controller when it comes to online competition.
-
Cheating cuz the have an advantage
-
3 RepliesCan it bypass the sensitivity limit in destiny?
-
Cheating
-
F. Cheating & Tampering Do not use unauthorized hardware or modifications. From Xbox lives codes of conduct.
-
It's definitely cheating.
-
7 RepliesWait a minute. How is keyboard and mouse better? Is aim assist stronger or like less recoil?
-
Do they still have to aim, hit their shots, and press buttons? Can they be killed? Do the keys they press do the same exact thing as controller buttons? The answer to all of those is yes. The mouse is just a different way of aiming. It's like some guy playing on 10 sensitivity vs a guy on 1. The guy playing on 10 will have an advantage because he can get his crosshairs over his enemy first. If keyboard and mouse is cheating, then so is higher sensitivity. Both are just different ways of aiming.
