| Summary | 0008414: Defend Supply Depot from Meteors seem unreasonable with keyboard only controls | ||||
| Description | With keyboard only controls, it is difficult to aim at precise points without tab targeting. Due to how far off-screen meteors tend to be, tab targeting them isn't a viable option often. This may be just one of those mission types that requires fine aiming, and thus doesn't play nice with keyboard aiming, but I just found it a bit frustrating that a supported control scheme seems to be holding me back for this mission type, where I don't get that feeling elsewhere in the game. | ||||

I imagine that you'll have to find some way to work around it using other spells -- not really sure what to tell you. We design the game with the mouse + keyboard controls in mind, and the others are subservient to that control scheme in terms of specific missions or what have you. |

Yea, I figured this may be a "It's my own dang fault" type situation. Thanks for clarifying though. :) |

You might try flameout or similar, to not have to worry about the angle as much. If you have ideas for other spells that might help in a keyboard-only circumstance, then I'm all ears for that as well. Perhaps a rotated ice cross that was more of an X might do the trick -- I've been planning that anyhow, so perhaps that's something that would make hitting 45 degree angles in keyboard-only a lot easier. |

I'm still on continent one (been restarting my world too often...) But I have found that splashback seems to work decently. But of course, I have to get moderately close for that to work, and meteors hurt pretty badly if you touch them (which makes perfect sense) Yea, they may not hurt quite as bad as they used to, but its still a good chunk of damage. |
