It always derails my threads due to everyone only wanting to talk about how I am gimping myself by using it. I get so many insults, yet no one ever tells me WHY.
Why does using a joystick with my left hand, and my mouse in my right hand GIMP ME, or screw myself over?
Why does so many people want to insult my intelligence for wanting to use such a set up?
Can someone please tell me?
Here is my exact set up.
My mouse acts just like it usually does, moving the torso, arms reticule and firing weapon groups 1 and 2.
but instead of a keyboard I use one of these
pushing the stick left and right turns the legs.
Pushing the stick up and down does nothing.
The top middle buttons I make throttle up and down.
The top right button is next target, the left button is fire missiles (or weapon group 3)
the trigger is jumpjets, or fire weapon group 4 (depends what mech I am in)
On the base I have heat vision and night vision, as well as ecm mode, power, and override.
I find this way of playing EXTREMELY fun, and engaging, and makes me feel like I am actually piloting a mech.
So many people bash me saying "If you want to gimp yourself that's fine, but I'm all about winning"
So someone please explain, how does using a keyboard allow you to have an easier time playing? Is it that there is more keys available to your fingers?
Or is it that their is just an incredible amount of people in these forums who do nothing but go into peoples threads, and make posts that are completely unproductive to the OP, add nothing to the conversation, and just try and take anything they can from the OP to troll, insult or derail the conversation??
This thread is not meant to talk about the people that insult! It is meant to talk about why having a joystick in the left hand instead of a keyboard may gimp! I honestly don't care when others tell me I suck for using a joystick. Like I always tell them, if I could 1v1 challenge you I would, but I can't so their is no need in arguing skill"
Ok, now when ever anyone wants to try and derail my threads that have anything to do with joysticks I will polity tell them to come here and explain why it gimps me instead of derailing my other ******** threads.
