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: 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.

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.

It's not cheating it's just very very cheap

4 RepliesI don't think it's cheating. But I find that if you need to use a keyboard and a mouse you're very desperate and a try hard. Console gaming is meant for controllers. If you want to play with a mouse and keyboard then stick to a PC.
-
I'm not too bothered about it. If he bought it purely to get an edge in destiny, then that's maybe a little sad, but perhaps he's just mainly a pc gamer, and wants to use a setup he's used to?
-
It will be legit when Windows 10 comes out
-
Boy, this is an incredibly stupid post
-
1. It's not cheating, it's just a different controller type some people are more comfortable with 2. It doesn't cost hundreds of dollars, $60 actually. 3. Bungie doesn't care because being able to use these things got more people to buy the game.

2 RepliesThat is actually cheating.... If it was a console stream with a keyboard and mouse set up... Then it is completely unfair for the other console gamers in that server... People buy consoles to use a simple controller... But to hook up a keyboard and mouse while everyone else uses a controller is completely unfair for everyone else.... I do not care how much "better" the keyboard and mouse is, keep that shit on PC.... I for one see that as a serious offence to the console... Sure it maybe a small device connected to the console to use those, but it is an illegal device not provided by Microsoft or Sony to use on their consoles... And that is a cheating offence in my eyes....

2 RepliesIt's not cheating, but its not legit either. Unless there's a legitimate reason for it. [spoiler]legitimate reasons being - maybe an individual doesn't have the capability of using a controller.[/spoiler]
-
8 RepliesOh my good you ppl find any reason to cry bout crap it's insane
-
I was going to use steering wheels as an example but it's actually harder to use them, k+m has no place in console gaming in my opinion, I used to play pc and it's a lot easier to aim with mouse than controller.
-
It's not cheating, it's just using a different controller
-
Nothing until someone starts to claim how awesome they are whilst using a keyboard and mouse.
-
I wish I could use them, but I'm not dropping the cash for the adapter.
-
13 RepliesKBM users are cheats If they didn't suck using controllers and have to resort to using it to win pvp (normal pve is fine) then it wouldn't exactly be an unfair advantage Can pull off easy headshots with it and ruins the game Played consoles to play with people who need the skill to play
-
It's cheap
-
4 RepliesI think it's cheating. 1) I don't have the software to run my mouse/KB on my ps4. 2) if you have to use a 3rd party app to use it in the game, that's cheating. 3)you have to use a laptop to download it to your console? Cheap... 4) everyone else is using a controller, with a set sensitivity. I personally wish the sensitivity went higher then it does in Destiny but whatever. I played A lot of games on PC, I can turn the sense up on my razor naga alone, let alone with what a game lets me go to. They can move to you faster and be spot on at the same time. I can't say that's very fair to everyone using the same controller...

Not cheating when aim assist is so high.
-
I don't care what anyone uses against me, I will do my best to beat them
-
Well, I'm sure you crying about it will make them all think twice.
-
2 RepliesIt's just as illegal as using R4 cards in a Nintedo DS or playing games on an emulator. Simply because it is only supported through external means.
-
'' then that's your bad. '' Yeah, but if Bungie said they were allowed you would STILL complain.
-
PS4 supports keyboards and mice for all games. I have hooked up and used a mouse. Its pretty unfair. Being a pc gamer, You just don't miss.
-
3 RepliesI don't mind others using keyboard and mouse, I can't use them as well as controllers for FPS games, let them use what they feel most comfortable with. My aim, as a gamer, is to fight those who I meet at their full strength, doing so allows me to grow as a player and achieve higher skill, therefore my enemy restricting himself in any way is an insult to me.
-
I was able to tell when ppl were using a mouse/keyboard in trials their reaction times and accuracy were unreal.

1 ReplyI put a post on the Help forum asking for clarification on this (I think it is cheating) and there was never a response. My best guess is that they do not want to deal with it.
