Hello,
I'm playing Spiral Knights not very long, but I have the possibility to use a gamepad to control.
I'm very pleased, the gamepad control cannot be much better, it's definitely better than with mouse and keyboard, you can block much faster etc. pp.
One thing that isn't very good, the aiming with the gamepad.
With my pistol or a jar (right word?) I cannot aim right, mostly I don't even hit my target.
My suggestion:
While I'm playing with the gamepad, the mouse is hidden.
I cannot see, where I aim. (Except on the Knight himself.)
Wouldn't it be fair if I have some kind of line with distance-weapons, to see the aiming point better.
The line can be displayed as points, maybe in the same color like the knight.
The line ends, where the weapon ends to affect (except on monsters, they moves).
I hope my suggestion will be taken over in some way, then I can be sure, that I can aim on distance with my Gamepad.
Greetings
PS: My english is not the best, same suggestion is also in the german forum.
You have no idea how many times that very idea has been posted already.
Also *fat nerd lisp* Clearly you fail to understand the degree of precision and stability that can only be gained by using a mouse. That or you simply lack the basic dexterity to coordinate more then 1 finger at a time if you find the crude mechanisms of the common "control pad", as its properly refereed to, preferable to the elegance and versatility of the KB & M setup. /silly rant
