I know there are topics on it. But please, Blizz, some indication youre working on a fix would be so great. Also, please prevent people from using emulators to bind that controller command to their keyboard.
It’s ruining the multiplayer dynamic - FFA is excellent, but this is not how FFA was intended.
Uh no, how about fixing the controller?
Are we misunderstanding each other? I just meant to prevent people from binding the loot vacuum function to their keyboard. I wasn’t suggesting Blizzard should remove all controller-to-keyboard emulation.
If you meant let’s just prevent controllers from having that function, then of course, as long as they’re playing with keyboard users. But no problem when they’re only playing with other controller users.
It just makes absolutely no sense for Blizzard to try and somehow prevent keyboards from emulating a controller. When they can just fix the issue of controllers picking up loot drops before they appear in game.
K, you misunderstood me, I addressed it above. I am not advocating for changing the way controllers work when they’re only playing with other controller users, so I don’t think it’s as simple as changing the way controllers loot. If the way controllers loot could be changed only while they’re playing with M&K users, then great.
I think a simpler solution, though, is to make controller UI an allowable option in game creation. But that’d also have to somehow prevent people from having bound that command to their keyboard - which is why I included that in the first post. Blargh.
Darn. If only we could possibly have had another multiplayer option to play while FFA was filled with scripts and exploits. Nobody predicted anything like this happening!
Alas. Woe is us.
Right, nobody predicted this issue with controllers vacuuming everything. This is a totally unforeseen issue, and it’s no reason to introduce an entirely new looting mechanic. FFA is fine, the controller issue just needs to be addressed - which is normal. New issues have arisen, not a problem if Blizzard will address them.
Not specifically, no, but looting exploits were predicted… because they’ve pretty much always existed.
This controller issue is unlike anything else legitimate in the game. And pickit is a hack, not an exploit. Anyway, please don’t derail this thread. This is about increasing Blizzard’s awareness of the controller exploit while playing multiplayer with M&K. There’s no reason to alter the spirit of the game over this - it just needs a simple fix.
I think adding a toggle to PC games allowing controllers or not would be great. And making sure that would also prevent people who had emulated that command to their keyboard from using it on their keyboard.
laughs at the intended irony here
high fives
It’s not a derail when you yourself posted “FFA is excellent,” inviting others to comment on it. That part of your OP wasn’t even necessary, really. Could have stopped at “it’s ruining the multiplayer dynamic.” But you didn’t.
Oy vey. I included that to make it clear I didn’t think the problem was with the FFA system itself, which is easy to think when there’s an issue while FFA looting. Please, fare well.
