lolmouse

THANK YOU KILLIA!!!


Knew you would get an answer!!!

LONG LIVE KALLIA!!

yeah .. heh.. lolmouse..

XD

lolmouse taking up 90 minutes of the 99.9% of players who never used it for FFXI... x.x;

There might be more to it than that but I'm not sure exactly.

Honestly don't see how they could of broke it anyways >.>; The code must be extremely sensitive if they adjust Nyzul and it breaks hardware support. @.@

I love how the stuff they break is usually better than the stuff they implement. The game functions better without having to worry about my character running off in random directions because I closed a window.

To be fair, it is broken and it wouldn't be fair to the 3 people who use it if we just kept it broken for a few weeks.

MOUSE FOR LIFE

This is SE, when they introduced yilbigan, their spaghetti code linked porta-furnaces w/ black abyssites.

>,> but why do they need a 90 minute maintenance to do this? Mouse control is entirely client-side. It should simply be a download without any server downtime.

Hey...this mouse mishap is some SERIOUS ***. ....the apocalypse is coming early D:<

Agree, just couldn't find any other issues so as far as I know that's the only one XD

Just probably something they aren't telling us yet so we don't exploit it or w/e.

thank god.. disrupting my game play not being able to use mouse

I use mouse TYVM and so do about 30 ppl i know from my FL and LS... i've used mouse since the day i started 5yrs ago and its the way i like to play, its my flarghing $13 a month so i can play anyway i choose~! getting sick of ppl "LOLmouse" just like im sick of ppl "LOLdrg" i dont need you to rag on my preferences and i'd prefer it if you didnt. if you dont like it, you can bugger off, i didnt want to be in your party anyway :P

p.s. this is not a direct reply to the poster, but all you poo-heads who couldnt put any useful info up here and only decided to LOL at mouse users...

Well, at least they timed it so my Einherjar run won't be interrupted. =p

Its the mouse...

DEAL WITH IT!

LOL

I wouldnt worry about it, people always act like if it doesnt affect them personally, it mustn't affect anyone else.

I wasn't aware there were laptops that weren't "touch pad laptops." What does that have anything to do with using a mouse...? All the laptops I've ever used for FFXI obviously had a touchpad and I've never used it to move around. Why would you not use WASD?

Maybe people don't know about the compact keyboard option? Go to options > misc. 2 > keyboard size set to compact. Maybe this will solve your problem?

Maybe some people prefer to use a mouse? The human race is crazy isn't it? What with not everyone being exactly the same.

I've tried that. I prefer using the mouse over the compact keyboard. How about they don't break something every time they do an update and properly test their product. Crazy thought isn't it?

Also it effected the touch pad since it is used as a mouse so that is how it effects it and that is my playing preference. I tried controller tonight and keyboard and neither one worked well for me. I have played the same way for 6 years it just happens to be what works for me and what I'm used to.

I'm not understanding why it is ok to be controlled by a mouse.

How do you even play with a mouse? I could never target anything and using it on a menu was a pain in the *** because I'd click the wrong thing.

My wife asks the same question. To target usually I have myself targeted and position my camera for an easy tab. It has never been difficult for me and I do it faster than people I know who use controller for targeting. Like I said earlier it is just what you are used to. I can't move with numpad, compact, or controller. I wonder how everyone else does it lol.

WASD is used in pretty much every other game so if you play anything other than FFXI you're used to moving with them. I've used the mouse in other games but it's just really bad in XI :/ It's more of a controller/wasd game.

To each their own. Preference/familiarity/etc.

I can see them fixing the mouse problem, then suddenly Compact keyboard/controllers stop working. Gwahahaha

I use a mouse so I have something to throw when I get mad :3

The mouse is hated by majority of players for a huge reason, it isn't sensitive enough. Unlike the analog sticks of controllers, if you want to move your character you are limited to set degrees which is not pleasant.

It is better than trying to control the camera with a keyboard though, so I can't really say a mouse is worse than a keyboard. I simply can not understand why it is so strict though, to me it seems like it should be exactly the same as an analog stick, where if I want to move 5 degrees to the right I should be able to, not 45 degrees.

It is a personal preference, and everyone has their own opinion, but I'd be very impressed with anyone capable of using the mouse and perform just as well as someone using a controller, or keyboard.

Still don't see how it takes 90 minutes to fix though.

Well, I guess some ppl are better at something than others, eh?

XD
