Why the hell is there negative mouse accel?

[Urfin]

I mean really, what were you thinking?

[😃]

It's a mecha game?

[Urfin]

Since when mecha game means crippled controls?

[😃]

To simulate the feeling of piloting a massive machine? All mecha games are like that...

[Urfin]

How does making the camera turn SLOWER the FASTER I move my mouse simulate anything but incompetence? And I don't recall this crap in DxM or AC6, which are the recent mecha games on PC.

[Hei Gui]

Yea the devs are retodded. Only idiots add negative mouse accel

im on a mouse and keyboard, not on a pilot seat, making it play like ♥♥♥♥ isn't going to emulate ♥♥♥♥, just be normal

As far as I know it's not an intentional design decision but usually a side effect of converting gamepad controls to mice. So, it comes down to shoddy programming. If they added RAW mouse input it wouldn't be an issue.

Maybe to make you turn around slower. So you cant turn around instantly.
Like "turn rate" of a character in Dota.

[Slyther]

turn speed capping is pretty common as far as mech shooters go. as a side benefit it also makes aim trainers less effective since they can't 360 spinbot like in tf2 or CS

you cherry picked 2 of the few examples of mecha without turnspeed. If you want to turn faster pick a lighter mech.

I'm going to use a hyperbole for you to understand. Its like having a racing game where the car turns as fast as you move the mouse. It makes no sense. You are using a machine, a vehicle. Tank Games, Racing Games, Space & Flight Sims, most games that use a vehicle have some sort of movement restrictions to make them more immersive, it's part of the appeal.
What is the point of having mecha if it's just going to control like any other shooter where you play as a human.

Also it's part of balance in these types of games, Heavy Mecha's have slower movement with slow rotation, while Light ones are faster and more nimble.

Spoken like someone who hasn't played Armored Core or Zone of the Enders.

[Doot & Honk, Until It Is Done]

Yea it's absolutely awful. Controller is probably no better as far as input is concerned.

But my rotation is FASTER when I move the mouse more slowly?? It has nothing to do with a maximum turn speed, because I hit my absolute fastest turn speed while moving my mouse the most slowly.

It's like if I was playing a racing game and to make a minor adjustment I need to spin the wheel 20x, but if I'm trying to make a 90° turn I only move the wheel an inch. It's counter intuitive and feels like garbage

Maybe unrelated, but I wonder what the polling rate is capped at?
