Invert mouse Y-axis

I'm sorry you're not impressed, but unfortunately there is no option for that feature in game.

Cheers

No option to invert y axis means I can't play. I am not about to change the style of play I have used for decades to cater to this game. Too bad.

I also have no patience to write or set up my mouse to do so. Inversion should be a basic setting. I have enough to deal with getting used to a new mmorpg than trying to relearn which way is up and messing up my mind in other games.

Not so perfect...world.

Search function FTW.

Fail to adapt, Fail to play, you just fail. There's lots of games out there that don't have an invert mouse option. grow up and adapt.

Heh, you're a ****.

This is my first and last post on these forums. The game is absolutely unplayable without an inverted mouselook.

I've never seen any other game of this type that did not provide a way to invert the Y-axis of the mouse. You cannot accuse people of "failing to adapt" after they have been playing inverted for decades. I could just as well ask you to "adapt" and switch the left and right actions of the "A"and "D" keys - I can assure you that the cognitive dissonance would be extremely similar. Sure, you could probably get used to it eventually, but it's really not worth it.

Perhaps you ought to grow up and realize that quite a large number of gamers learnt to play FPS games back when inverted mouse was the default. After 20 years, it's quite impossble to retrain your brain and it most certainly is not worth the effort for a single game that does not support the most basic of functionality.

Thinking maybe you should get a clue there. "inverted mouse" wasn't a default in most games, it was an option. Sure there were a few games out that came with the mouse inverted by default, but they were few, and the industry standard was non-inverted. In fact, many games were released (as this one has been), without the option to invert, and with the movement being in the default non-inverted state that it is in.

If I felt like wasting my time, I could come up with many games "ov this type" that do not have an option to invert the mouse. There's a nice list of other FPS games as well that are missing that feature. Want to talk about really screwey, there's a few flight games missing the feature, and of any, they should have it as a default.

Adapt or die. Learn to adapt to the game you want to play, or don't play it.
If you've truly been playing for 20 years, you would know this already. I've been playing well over 20 years and the first FPS games did not have an option to invert your mouse.
In fact, you will find the the majority of players, do not play with the mouse inverted. (Or, at least, you would know this if you've been really playing FPS games for 20 years.)

Next time you call someone a ****, you should at least have the intelligence to back up your argument. To call the game unplayable, means simply that you are too stupid to adapt to the industry standard. Which my friend, kinda makes you a ****.

ps:, I have also tried Star Trek: Online. a game supported by PWI and it has a mouse inversion function.

PWE didn't make STO, they bought it from Cryptic.

When Neverwinter comes out, it's not a PWE game, they are just the publisher.

Nice necro though. Next time start a new thread and reference the old if you don't want your discussion to get locked.

I'm very impressed that this thread got necroed 3 times, 2 of wich were to insult someone. Also impressed that he just kept coming back b:laugh


Now on the question at hand.
Why the hell would you want to invert your mouse. The entire system you use has it as default that moving the mouse away from you means it goes up on your screen. This is a game you play with a cursor. I'd expect people to be used to having a cursor that goes up when you push the mouse away is something they are used to.

Than again, I'd also expect natural selection to filter out the individuals that can't adapt. This thread is proof that we humans are killing evolution with our medicine

It is PWI that failed in that case.

I can not think of any single game, at least not any successful ones (take a lesson there), whether console or PC, online or offline, that did not offer the invert Y axis option if there was any need for 3D movement. And, while the Y invert was not the default setting, the option was always there and everyone I've ever discussed games with has always used it. Maybe Atari was the last console I played that didn't offer that, but I do remember at least one flight sim-type game back on those days that did invert Y by default ('cause that's how you FLY). Yah. Exactly. Now you just think on that. Years of Xbox, PlayStation, Genesis, Wii, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, Windows, DOS, and flight sims of ALL types all with the same clue and you're telling US to adapt?

PWI needs to get with the rest of the world and ADAPT. It's that simple.

OMG, I didn't follow some obscure BS forum rule that only current players would know and isn't utilized in other PW forums! OH LAWDY, what will I do now?!

OMG, please don't "lock" my discussion over something that, apparently, pushes players away (both the "invert Y" and this "necro" ****), since I so very much want to play a game that's an underdeveloped PITA with arrogant players like yourselves.

Here's a clue...the game devs need to get with the program and design a game that's playable by the largest amount of prospective players (AKA CUSTOMERS) so they can make money for their company and buy their kids lots of toys and pay a huge mortgage payment on a huge house and so on. The players that play this game need to promote this game in a positive manner rather than make excuses for obvious design flaws that the devs either can't or won't (either one is bad) fix with a simple patch, and the players acting like douches in the forums doesn't help either.

So between the incompetent devs and the elitist players, your positive promotion of a virtually-unheard-of game with underdeveloped mechanics and wannabe-Everquest style is kind of sucking hind teat.

You all have fun now banning my necro post on a thread in a forum I don't care about regarding a game I won't be playing because I have better things to do with my time than get frustrated just trying to look around in the game.

For someone who doesn't care, you sure rage a lot about something you don't care about.
Could it be that you actually care but you have to put yourself in a delusional state to imagine you don't care?
And all that in an ancient thread you actually dug up.
Seems like a lot of work for someone who doesn't care.

Just ignore and move along if you don't care, it's not that hard.

Also, you're raging in the wrong place, the devs are in china.
