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.

Theres no difference than those custom made controllers that cod kids use to crouch shoot. Its not cheating using a mouse and keyboard is a whole lot more comftorple to play with than a controller

Edited by Amadeus1613: 1/2/2015 2:45:37 AMThis is cheating full stop and I didn't know it is possible. If I had a keyboard and mouse I would only use a sniper rifle because it would be easy as fark (I used to be able to jump and snipe on CS). Sniping on controller is infinitely harder. Edit: Just tuned into the guy's stream and lo and behold, you can clearly hear him clicking away on the keyboard. As expected, the aim assist with K&M makes the sniper and scout rifles a beast!

It's pretty much cheating in my mind.
-
Cheating for sure. There has been cross Gen with xbox and pc and key board and mouse dominated.
-
4 RepliesIt's legit. Either get your own keyboard/mouse or stop hating.
-
Lol at being mad about the shitty pvp
-
Why should you be bothered by someone with different equipment than you? You are probably a boss at the crubicle and story so you should let it slip of you back. :D- Mr Cool Dylan
-
I find controllers superior to shitty keyboards. I've played pc games. The only thing that pc games have over consoles is fully customizable controls, not scrolling through presets and finding one you can get by with.
-
To each his own. If playing with a mouse and keyboard is what it takes to be "competitive", then so be it. I wouldn't feel bad losing to someone who used the set up because I've been told by several PC buds that the mouse and keyboard is the way to go when it comes to shooters. Its whatever. I've never considered Destiny a really competitive shooter anyway, more like a kids version of COD (which is more like a kids version of Counterstrike, etc.). Honestly, the aim assist on this game is ridiculous, so you can't really take it very serious.

5 RepliesWhat tools you use to enjoy your game are your own. Some people can't use controllers some can't use keyboard an mouse. It does not give anyone an edge unless the tool in question is moded in some way shape or form to boost your game play (ie. Consoles saw a huge increase in turbo controllers).
-
2 RepliesDo I just plug in a USB keyboard and mouse? Gonna try this... Thanking you come again :)
-
Controllers are crappy eitherway. Glad to know I can do this.
-
18 RepliesTotally legit, but obviously hyper-competitive - this is where crucible would have benefited from a rank structure that keeps everyone competitive at their proficiency.
-
1 ReplyHow is it cheating?
-
6 RepliesNot cheating. If it bothers you so bad get your own setup with mouse and keyboard
-
1 ReplyKeyboard and mouse ps4 compatible on destiny??????
-
2 RepliesBeen able to do that for a long time, not cheating at all
-
1 ReplyIt's not cheating. Cheating is breaking something within the game. Or using an exploit. The process of using a mouse and keyboard for consoles has been around for a long time now.
-
Legit. One of my brothers uses a keyboard and mouse via an adapter. He has way more stuff he has to do with two hands to make it work. Using a controller is easier by far. Whatever aiming advantage he may have is made up for by the complication of using mouse and keyboard. Plus aim speed in destiny hinders full fluid mouse movement pretty drastically.
-
Then get a kb and mouse? I don't see how this is cheating. I use a controller because I play in the living room not on a desk using a controller is just more comfortable to me. The kb&m isn't hacked? Than forget about it.
-
Why is it unfair? Can't watch vid atm and have never used a keyboard. Why is it so much easier?
-
Totally cheating. Keyboard and Mouse will always have an edge over controller. I use both when playing Destiny or Battlefield 4 on PC. I reck ppl with controller but absolutely demolish ppl with keyboard and mouse.
-
I used to play halo and other games on the pc and I used to use a controller instead of a keyboard and did really good?? Are you sure it's not just player skill... I can understand in a match of reaction time and target acquisition the keyboard user would win but skill will ultimately win....
-
It's obviously cheating, Bungie won't notice though.
-
14 RepliesIt's cheating, gives you an unfair advantage, this is the reason why K & M are banned from all competitive sponsored LAN tournaments on console.

Don't play pvp unless your bored to death or really need a bounty. Problem solved
