you mean

You mean, that you dislike when the SK user interface "jumps" your mouse to a particular widget? Yes, I strongly agree. My mouse pointer should never move, unless I make it move. I hate it when I expect to move my mouse somewhere, only to have it appear suddenly somewhere else. Hate it hate it hate it dislike it.

Not sure if it's the exact same thing, but I'm been having similar problems aiming at anything since the UI update, as my character will snap to a random direction (I play on keyboard). I first noticed the problem on the last round of testing, and included it in my testing feedback. Have since reported it as a bug both in-game and on the forums.

No-Thanks
HELL YEAH!!!!

it always moves when i switch to other window while on loading screen wth is up with that

i got so many programs open, but they all leave my mouse alone, mmos could do the same, but NOOOOOOOO, they HAVE to be extra fancy

what on earth were they thinking???

USB controller.

  1. Download and install a program called Motionjoy (or any other one that let's you map keyboard keys to a controller).
  2. map buttons for SK on the controller
  3. play

No more mouse movement. Yeah!!!

I don't mind it, but when I play in windowed mode and the Spiral Knights window isn't even the active window, it becomes really frustrating. Stop it, Three Rings!

no, it's deliberate in software

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but we're talking about a "feature" that has been programmed into the software deliberately. To guide you through a dialogue with a non-player character, the software "jumps" your mouse to the next thing that you need to click on. This is supposed to save you the time of guiding the mouse yourself. In practice, you move the mouse yourself anyway, and hence the mouse ends up exactly where you DON'T want it --- OFF the target (unless you've seen this particular dialogue effect many times and can anticipate it).

No-Thanks
lets do this

@bopp, yes. I go on facebook while I play and then it moves my mouse off target -____- Also, it moves it to the chat, which makes me click off the screen (because I move down to click em anyways).
OOO, we're not physically DISABLED. we can move a goddang mouse.

No-Thanks
do something about this issue...

make a petition make more threads file support tickets whatever! just do something! im sure every single baby born with arms can find their mouse cursor without this feature. who wants to wait out their respawn timings in lockdown?? everybody will have some other program in background running and they dont want their mouse to move away in bad timing

"STOP MOVING MY GODDAMN MOUSE HOLY (&*)@#!$#@"
"we can move a goddang mouse."

i hope its allowed to quote swearings, cuz i fully agree and nothing has changed so far..its a design FLAW
