Keyboard and mouse set up in PVP cheating or legit gaming?

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 Proof: http://www.rahulsood.com/2010/07/console-gamers-get-killed-against-pc.html?m=1 Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llyw5xRayaQ 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.

  • Half the people in this thread define cheating as : "Abusing something that other players don't have access to" Well in all honesty, -blam!- whoever uses thorn in PVP, because I just can't seem to get an exotic bounty to save my life.... So I guess everyone abusing thorn is cheating? It's easier to get a damn XIM for 100$ than it is to pray to RNGEEZUS for a thorn....

      • People can do what they want. I don't care if they want to spend the extra money on something that a controller does. To me it's just a waste.

      • Xim stimulates controller output to the console from the input of mouse/on. I used it on 360, and ended up going back to controllers. After gaming for years on pc, it is not the same experience using xim on consoles. You are restricted to all of the constraints of the controller thumb sticks speed sensitivity and acceleration linearity. What this means, is that the movement of the mouse inn relation to the rotation of the player is non linear. For a controller user, most won't necessarily understand how that is a negative, or what it even means. On pc, moving the mouse very slow 1 inch to the right will have the same effect as moving it fast one inch to the right. The same degree of rotation. With a console and xim, moving the mouse slow or fast will have two different degrees of rotation. This happens due to the limitations of the controller and the translation of input to console. Beyond the dead zone, there is a minimum a speed of rotation, and maximum speed of rotation. If mouse movement goes beyond the maximum speed of rotation, which if you are a pc played playing as you would on pc, happens quite often. The excess movement does not register, and you will come up short on your mark. It takes more time to adjust, and relearn how to use the mouse than just use a controller. At least for me. I had good results in games like black ops where you could disable aim assist, because with a mouse the aim assist hurts more than helps. The biggest positive for using a mouse, is mapping buttons/keys to something that is intuitive to how you play. Where you can execute all commands at any given point in time. Something that just isn't possible on a standard controller. A scuff controller, or the Xbox elite controller coming out, I would compare directly to a mouse/kb on console with a xim that must translate the function into a controller input format and send it as such to the console. 90% of console gamers would do better with a scuff/elite controller than mouse with xim. If consoles natively accepted mice, and you could map and adjust them in game, the mouse would have a clear advantage. As it stands now, I would say user preference when compared with controllers that offered full functionality without having to leave the thumbsticks.

        • Take it easy man, the k+m has been a standard fps method since Wolfenstein 3D so it is not cheating at all it is just a matter of taste and if you going to compare that to the costs of things then a computer that can handle what the ps4 handles would cost 3 times more than the ps4 + the xsim. Xsim is a device like any other microphone, headset or controller device that can help us real fps players play the fps games to the max. Using a controller for fps games should be secondary. I do agree, you can get really pissed at this but dont hate the skilled player. Ive experienced this with Bad Company, could't for the life of me get a kill with a damn controller, just too turn 180 took forever, untill you set up the aim for headshots, your dead. I freaked out like i do in the crucibles. So i bought me the Eagle Eye for the ps3 when i had money for it as a poor gamer. Belive me all of a sudden i was competing with the best, so yes it really is superior to controller but it is not cheating at all. Your saying that my bullshit recording mic records bad quality and the guy with the 5000$ mic cheats with recording better sound??? Yes I think We AAAAALL are finished here.................

            Using a K&M isn't cheating. It's just tragically sad, cheap and cheesy. [i] Edited for spelling[/i]

            I'll make it easy. KBM uses an ENTIRE hand to aim which greatly increases accuracy. Controllers use a single digit (thumb) to aim. If you can't understand the difference then you are a maximum level idiot. KBM on console shooters is a clear advantage utilized by douche bags who need a leg up.

              Why are people hating and bias about KB+M. Just because the op is salty about being shit in PVP and getting owned. Does this mean that all the people who use scuff controllers are cheating because they have extra buttons that give them an advantage. KB+M is supported by Sony , if it wasn't it wouldn't even work. Also there an official one coming out soon Google Hori

              • Wait, people can actually use mouse and keyboard? I thought it was a joke or something. I asked in a stream once what they were talking about when they said mouse and keyboard and they said it was a joke about how accurate a player was... Wtf how is that even possible?

                • Why not use your console like you were supposed to? If you're not good with a controller then get better! It's that simple! Or just stick with your PC games! We don't want any PC shit in our games or we'd play PC games. You suck at console, so move back to that PC please :)

                  • You can buy "eagle eye" just like many gamers. I have one too, but I prefer my controller, is less accurate aiming but way better to move, run, dodge, jump & spin, keep spining and jumping... add a shotgun and controller becomes better in its own way than keyboard and mouse.

                  • Not much of an advantgae since u are limited on the sensitivity. Its not the same as using it on a PC.

                  • People don't understand that we are limited by the controller when using the mouse and keyboard adapter. It's not like playing CSGO on pc where the mouse movement is 1:1. When playing destiny I'm limited by the same max sensitivity as you are with a controller. If I flick my wrist really fast It caps out the look speed and can't go any faster. Yes it makes it easier for me to play because I've been playing FPS games on PC since I was 7 (now 20) and I suck with a controller. But we can't do anything with the mouse and keyboard that you can't do with a controller. Destiny should just have native keyboard and mouse support. The cap for skill with a mouse and keyboard is much higher than with a controller. But being able to use a mouse and keyboard won't instantly make you better at the game. It only will if you are used to playing that way. It's not banneable because we can't do anything that you can't. it's just a different type of input. Comparable to steering wheel vs gamepad for racing...
