Kyrandis Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I honestly do not know, but I'm having a blast on my level 18 shadow because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheeling Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I've seen an... almost impressive amount of back-peddlers as well. When strafe kiting is VERY effective here. I can be at almost a complete 90 degree angle and still use abilities on people if I'm playing a caster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredsaase Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Probably the same reason they're in any game: they just don't know any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmymillertime Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 where in the game does it tell you that you can move with your mouse? Not in a obvious place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeroburrito Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 never seen a keyboard turner or back-peddler, but im sure i've come across many clickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickFett Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why does it bother you how others play? If you are "Elite" because you know how to bind and use your mouse, more power to you! Want a cookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthWomprat Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I do click a few abilities, but 0 -12 are mapped on my mouse. Never understood the keyboard turning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimgick Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why does it bother you how others play? If you are "Elite" because you know how to bind and use your mouse, more power to you! Want a cookie? I never said it bothers me. This is not flaming or trolling, I'm seriously amazed at the amount of clicking/keyboard turning and, additionally, as mentioned above, back-peddling in this game. I'm not telling you to play in a way that you don't prefer. It's just that I have, over the course of hundreds of war zones, witnessed more of it in this game than in any other pvp throughout 3-4 other mmos. I believe the mechanics of this game such as autofacing and the nature of the gcd tend to promote this method, or at least give some leniency to the downsides of it. I'm wondering what others think. I do want a cookie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legskindal Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) i play with both hands on the keyboard, movement with wasd and skills mapped mostly on the number pad. i play mostly pvp on my near battlemaster sent and i usually top the dmg charts. sure mouse turning is preferable, but i make it work just fine. i think it is mostly the clicking that confers a disadvantage in pvp not the keyboard turning.

Trushott Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) I'm am pretty sure tidus who streams all the time as imP On Jung ma server and is one of best Pvpers in game does not fight in wzs With a mouse period So not all keyboard tuners are created equal I guess Edited February 12, 2012 by Trushott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alundo Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Mouse turner here, but total newb to keybinds. Just started learning & using and still getting used to it. (Got 'Acid Blade' Binded to 'R' so I don't have to waste a slot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorWalsh Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 That his opponents are garbage. Not really. A smart keyboard turner knows that his opponents lack real skill and instead focus on trying to use LOS to gain an advantage. A smart keyboard turner knows how to nullify this advantage. While most mouse turners are actually dependent on that advantage and if you remove it from them they become mediocre players at best. I use my mouse, but I use the same tactic that keyboard turners do when I face one of those more mediocre players who try to run around you and such. I hit number 6 on my razer mouse. Aka Leg Slash. Oops. You can't LoS me anymore. You suddenly don't know how to play. Then you become easy pickings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evuke Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 wow look at all the elitist nerds in this thread. so much win! ps i turn with my mouse and have just about every key on my keyboard bound to an ability, but that doesn't make me better than anyone who likes to turn with their keyboards and click on their abilities. grow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssfbistimg Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why are there so many keyboard turners and clickers in this game? what exactly is a keyboard turner? I'd never turn my keyboard while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaviyago Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Curious, at what angle do positioning abilities trigger in this game? Would a defender strafing at 90 degrees allow an aggressor to trigger her positioning abilities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archendrus Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yeah, this sounds like "Wow, I've seen so many people put their right shoe on first. What's up with that? Everyone knows you're supposed to put your left shoe on first...shoe noobs." That being said, I have an honest question. I have all my abilities keybound, and turn with the mouse, but use WASD extensively for all other movement. What is so bad about backpedaling? Sometimes I like to put some distance between myself and my target, while still facing them. I don't need the "S" key for a binding. Someone care to enlighten me?

Kleevage Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) There are several guilds that came straight from SWG on my server, and most of their players are keyboard turners. It's pretty hilarious. edit: lol@people defending it Edited February 12, 2012 by Kleevage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraygh Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I actually was a keyboard turner, then I read this thread and decided to go into a few warzones using my mouse to turn, to make sure I did it, I removed turn left & right from A&D and I was amazed at the difference in my mobility. I'm still not practiced with it, but I think you've just improved my pvp original poster. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
