Mouse controls and changes in auto-aim mechanism

[yahoo786 0]

Is anybody facing issues with Shaft target after the recent changes ? I'm facing issues that shaft  is nolonger shooting the enemy targets although we target them properly  in non  arcade mode. this should be fixed immediately. Shaft lovers are at a major disadvantage due to this.

Are you guys going to fix the shaft issue. My shaft is moving up or down in scope mode. I have no control over it. This is without the mouse.

The only players I may expect to use these controls are those whose keyboards won't allow them to move/turn and shoot at the same time. You said that "there should be no advantages/disadvantages for using one control over the other", and yet mouse controls have a huge disadvantage over keyboard controls:

1- You can barely turn your turret 90º degrees, imagine those cases where you have to turn 180º or the enemy is circling you

2- The camera tries to follow the invisible mouse, instead of focusing to where your turret is pointing

The keyboard controls for the turret are a major headache for me. I am constantly hitting the "Windows" key or accidentally pressing "CTRL or "ALT" with a key together.

 

I am left handed so I use the arrow keys for movement. Using the keyboard for the turret is incredibly difficult.

 

By using the mouse it eliminates this issue for me.

Guys, please fix problem with shaft, its unplayable, you tested it for quite long time, what happened you didn't catch it? Or if catched, why it isn't repaired, why did you send it out? :(

[creeperskelly 1,281]

One of the weird quirks I noticed is that the turret points in the same direction regardless of tank direction. Without mouse enabled the turret stays the same position when you turn the tank.

 

If you aren't moving the mouse then the turret should lock to the direction of the tank the same way it does when using just the keyboard.

I know a good number of us are experiencing this issue.

i work for the IT industry so i know....

 

you never place an update until its tested.... send it to QA for more testing etc.....the experience you and your devs have, you should know this. its 101

 

We are not your lab rats...

 

you test the upgrade thoroughly first in the backend.. fix bugs and then implement it.. and if there are still a few bugs left you get them fixed.... this scenario is not true in the case of this update for sure

 

you guys did not test it first and released it maybe to show your progress to the owner that you actually work kind of thing... "MAYBE"

 

and lastly you don't have to defend or come up with lame answers and excuses for yourself or the devs.. its a fail and if you admit it.. would do better actually.. say something like that in yoru accent " Tankers we implemented the update which did not work out as intended. We will revert it back A.S.A.P. Do some more testing, churn out all the bugs and then try once again to implement and  see the results....."

 

And yes the players are agitated/ frustrated because they come here to play the game, have a good time and not to be tanki lab rats...

if there were no players you and the devs wont have a job.. think about it...

 

 

hope you understand.. (no offense intended. have a great day)

as i said before... Firefox (or other Gecko version) on Apple Mac DONT WORK with Tanki and i said why. just disable Mouse control for now and fix the problem. dont force users to use other browsers which even dont work! Standalone player is already bad choice becouse you cant reload and cant copy battle links!!!

[0verkkill2 10]

this new update totally messed up my sniping mode for shaft...

 

its either on the left side of the game screen or you can not bring it down with the keyboard arrowkeys

 

I have the "mouse controls" option unchecked in settings.

 

I just experienced the EXACT same problems. Also shaft. Using Flash version 17 or 11, SAME problem

 

 

TANKI PROGRAMERS - PLEASE UNDO THIS CHANGE IMMEDIATELY - *SHAFT* IS TOTALLY UNUSABLE LIKE THIS!

yeah my friend too 

[angelokiller17645 23]

i will say this mouse controls are not very good for most players

[dfoofnik 341]

Making auto-aim easier just ruins the skill level of the game. Plus you have totally screwed the non-mouse Shaft controls: crosshair circle is offset and useless, and if you fire in non-sniper mode it just shoots into the ground.

And I'm on Firefox. Did no one test this with a wider customer base before saying it was ready to release???

 

This seems like "Early Ending Part II"...completely unworkable. Better clean up your act or you will kill the game.

It would not be the first time that early success was spoiled by over-ambitious programmers.

Who are you showing off for?

 

I'll be back when you get it fixed.

Yeah, and don't bother using Shaft if you have the mouse control enabled...or not!

[dfoofnik 341]

There are some problem with controlling keyboard..I can't aim in shaft by keyboard. The shaft head is always rorate.

Yes, the turret starts spinning uncontrollably for no apparent reason. Stupid buggy update.

[POWERFULLSOUL 78]

i dont see anything gud with this update !!! just full of problems ! ....Cant even go full screen ...

[dfoofnik 341]

If I don't have mouse controls on and I first don't play full screen, the keyboard controls are working, but when I switch to fullscreen, they stop working.. ._.  :mellow:  -_-

More glitches. Maybe if people stop buying crystals they will get the message...and do some proper testing.

[MusicJam19 737]

This update is brilliant. I tried it out by playing (with Smoky) for the first time in months and was a lot better than in the testing stages.

The only problem I had (apart from the lag spikes) was that the turning on the turret was occasionally unresponsive.

Also I would like to suggest making the right button the button to centre the turret (like C)

1) You don't have to work in IT to know this

2) Well done

3) We kinda are, seeing that the Test Server is almost always full when it is open

4) That's what they did

5) That's also what they did...see here: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=243611

6) I didn't see this so I won't comment

7) Well this is a stupid comment. If there were no devs there would be no games.. think about it... Plus mouse control can be disabled
