Why is the com wheel unusable now with a mouse?

[Sotanaht]

.1 seconds after bringing up the wheel, the cursor snaps to a random direction (probably from micro mouse movements). You cannot move the cursor to the center of the wheel to cancel. In order to move to other options you have to slowly drag your mouse in a circle to get there which takes longer than aiming a RR with no PP.

Ya it's very annoying. I still don't know if it was intentional or not.

From someone sharing their email with support, it looks like it broke. It'll be fixed.

Someone at AH thought the conveniences made for console would translate universally to pc, it didn't. This plus some awkward movement after finishing a stratagem trying to fix unintentional stimming. It'll all be fixed, it's too clumsy feeling to ignore.

Cus devs messed it up in the latest patch.

A very recent patch changed the emote wheel to ALLOW players ON PC to use the Left-Click to select an emote.

"Convenience" is highly debatable. If you accidentally release the wheel on the wrong emote in the 0.5-Seconds it's open, you can open it again WHILE the other emote is active or push a movement direction to cancel.

Clicking to confirm/toggle is something that should only really exist when hold&release would wear down your limb from long holds E.g Sprinting & crouching, OR thinking & choosing between many options.

You should not have the emote wheel open long enough that a toggle needs to exist, there are 4 options, with no pages to cycle through like Fortnite does. At least FOR NOW.

The Result: mouse input for the "Drop Item" AND Emote wheel, is now locked to the edges & must be treated like a circle with no cancel function.
A change made with good intentions, that 5 people might have asked for, with the added complexity of 1 extra button press.

It's a bug.
Also shows their QA doesn't play with M&K

The "Escalation of Freedom" Stream Demonstrated everything we needed to know about the Development until that point.

AH said they will be reverting the change. The idea was to move the mouse in a circle.

been having issues with all wheel stuff, and also after inputting a stratagems I can't move unless i double or triple tap a direction to walk/run in. I really don't want to play on a controller...

How do you cancel it now without being forced to output a callout?

[Scrula]

Oh thank god, i thought i was going crazy or had some weird setting messed up.

For the time being, you're forced to commit to a wheel action.

I think i saw something about this suggesting it was related to using WASD for stratagem inputs AND movement. Changing either of the 2 to something else was the suggested remedy, IIRC.

What really gets me is how could you not notice it was broke? Literally 2 mins into a game and you would see the wheels are broken. I know their testing is basically a meme at this point but this should convert even the most diehard fanboys that they have absolutely no QA whatsoever. Full stop.

bad game developer who only play on console. trash
