Just a quick mention here; Arena-Net does not, in any form, okay the use of THIS mod, they okay mods as a whole that will not grant certain players an advantage; which I personally believe that this mod will; especially in conjecture with siege weaponry; but honestly just with ranged-weapons all around.
Don't get me wrong, I think that it's a really cool idea; but I don't support this being introduced to the game as that'll fuck up what is, in my opinion, the best launch-balance I've ever seen between classes. Ranged classes already have an advantage; and now add onto that the extra mobility that comes from joining attack and move key-inputs? No. Sorry; and I'm afraid that Arena-Net will be of the same opinion as I, so you fellas might want to hold off on downloading that. And you definitely want to avoid doing Tournament PvP with it.
And just a call-out for the creator of this mod. FPS-inspired? BOOO! Give me RTS/Isometric-controls!
It doesn't give any more of an advantage than hardware mods like MMO mice and keyboads (which are allowed). It also helps people with disabilities.
A lot of solid, valid arguements in that "NO WAY". Look, mate; the mod in question allows you to move and shoot with one input. Change targets and fire off shots whilst changing the direction in which you're running with a single sweep of the mouse + 1 singe click, where as that would otherwise require -mouse to target - click to focus - q/e for strafe with additional mousemovement if you don't wanna' move horizontally - hotkey, 1-2-3, etc for attack.- So, yes, that gives people an unfair advantage; one that removes a series of input-combinations, and this is just in a 1-target scenario; add additional ones and boom, you got yourself an TPS, not an MMO.
And yes, when you have a big-ass cursor in the middle of the screen that you can compare the trial-and-error guesswork of siege-weaponry, that helps determine where your shots land. And yes, the direct mouse-controlled directional movements remove the need to use auto-run in order to simulate the same experience. And yes, let's not even start speaking of what it can do to sniping around rocks, and pieces of the environment.
And sure, there's special keyboards and mouses that allow you certain advantages; but they do not come anywhere close to creating such short-cuts, as they are still bound to the game-mechanics as established at hand. There's no "run and attack and turn" button on the keyboard or on the mouse, and even then, that'd be another input required.
And just what disabilites are we speaking of here? I don't mean to be disrespectful for people with disabilities, but who will be helped by this other than those who cannot co-ordinate each hand to work in unison, as would be required of key-board + mouse, or a gamepad; as in that they'd only need to use the mouse. And if they aren't able to co-ordinate hand movements, motor functions in that function, they would, as per following logical definition not be able to co-ordinate the seperation between game and input mechanics. I don't mean to insult any one-handed people out there; clarifying that. I just don't see the explanation given by the creator of this mod as a viable arguement, and far more like a desperate plea to have his mod OKAY'd for usage inside the game, which it probably won't be as per and due the points I mentioned earlier.
Just to clarify, man; I'm glad you brought this to our attention, it's pretty damn cool. I do however feel the need to express that there is NO confirmation that it's safe as per Arena-net regulations, you COULD get BANNED for using this mod. That's the final line.
Edit: Added the final line, and wrote "who" will be helped instead of "how" will, etc..
