Mouse Defense Not Effective | Forums

[Cobramaxblue22]

I can't get used to moving the mouse to defend and move at the same time. Why not use a keypress to defend like A,W,D at the same time as left mouse? This is a show-stopper for me. I just get hacked to death.

Agreed. The more I play the more I come to the conclusion that offense is the best defense. Even when defending the attacker still has time to reply with an immediate strike from the same direction while the defender is still attempting a strike of their own which never seems to come. The defender with appropriate amount of gear with stats in their favor may be more effective but I focus on attack. Reason being is they get the most benefits. Basically whoever hacks the fastest gets the kill. I've found there is more strategy against human players but ultimately the same outcome is, whoever strikes first and more wins.

tried the basic training with mouse + keyboard and swapped to my xbox-one controller the moment that was over and im not gonna go back ever...

the targeting is more fluid on controller, the stance-change is WAY more intuitive on controller, also sensitivity isnt an issue on the controller.

I agree, this game is just not meant for keyboard and mouse with the current system. You can buy the game and play with the mouse and keyboard but you will just keep getting rekt by every single person who has a controller.

So this is basically a PC port. A game for purely for the "exclusive" consoles that just now they port for PC and with other issues already looming and the CBT closing to an end with all of those unresolved...guess it'll be another hit...

Hi there!!

First of all, and without taking the humongeous issue with the 4vs4 dominion with players seriously, i have to say ¡¡congratulations!! for that game.

But, as it is a beta i guess you will thank every feedback you can get from us to help you make this game a veeeeery great one. Well, this is a thing that is important for players, having a very good responsive controls will always be from the hand of the players happiness, and i tell you, defending with the mouse is not as fast as you change with it...

Maybe it was your intention, maybe not. But a little bit faster please, it would be thankfull.

Thank you very much and great job guys!!

I 100% agree on this. I've been in this for a while but I cannot for the life of me get my defense as high as someone who plays with a Controller.

Controller defense is much easier - those that play both agree - with a mouse we have to "switch" from moving camera/sight to "defense modes" which isn't how any game played before. While this might become something to adapt to, it is not going to happen any time soon.

This makes it where a faster attack - no guard method works much easier. The problem is if you face an opponent who is using a controller - as you will notice they suddenly block every attack over and over. Once they get a combo in - your done.

I don't get what the problem is, it works perfect, left is left, right is right, up is up, I haven't had a single issue. Maybe you all are just bad at using mice, this game would be annoying af on a controller if you ask me.

EXACTLY! Mouse defense is so bad, because we have to move and block/dodge strikes, and, when we are in movement,defense is crashed by our selves.
To fix it, I'm trying to defend by keybind defensive positions in another buttons on mouse, making 0 at mouse sensivity in Game Controls. But stil no intuitive and 100% fuctional without muscular memory (training keybinds).
