Does that mean Thrall's dead (haven't played through the whole shaman storyline yet)? Cause there is no other Thrall but Metzen!

Sad to see him go but so far it appears as if he's going out in a bang.

Having got a few games in over the weekend I was impressed by the game. I really liked the fact that in a titan you had a small measure of defense against a rodeo and I liked that the Titans didn't dominate the battlefield either. Gunplay felt just as good to me but definitely felt that the weapon balance was a bit up in the air for a couple of the weapons.

I really disliked Bounty Hunter. I felt the bank locations were to far away from the objectives to get to and didn't respawn fast enough. I mean it was a cool pay off of stayin gout in the field until you had a good chunk of money to go back the bank but any good team would have one or two people camping them just waiting for people to turn in.

Yeah I'm using a Logitech G700 with a Steel Series Diablo 3 mouse pad.. I don't know if you configure DPI on the fly but I do know that you can configure it on a game by game basis depending on what .exe is ran. I love it and have used it consistently for the last 4 or 5 years. I also used to use a Logitech g15 keyboard but since moving to a laptop for gaming I don't really use it much these days.

Well after some experimenting I do find that the lower DPI isn't as significantly slow as I remember. Can't remember the exact DPI I was at (I think it was 800) but accuracy was much much better and I felt a lot steadier. Taking some getting used to do the large sweeps as I've always been a wrist flicker but definitely felt better overall. Thanks for all the feedback on this as I knew there was a solution but couldn't wrap my head around what it would be.

I've ordered from Cyberpower years ago and that machine lasted between 5 to 6 years for me with minimal upgrading. I blame shipping companies more than Cyberpower as they are supposed to "test" each machine prior to shipping for functionality. UPS/Fed Ex guys are the fucking worst for treating packages as giant bags of sand and just throw them wherever. In no way am I defending Cyberpower or their shitty RMA process but know that their are multiple parties that have touched your machine prior to it arriving.

I will say for the money you spent by a prefabricated machine you can easily save yourself a lot of money and buy the components and assemble yourself. It's an intimidating process but I think there is a huge value in learning what components go where and how to troubleshoot them if they go bad.

Go with your gut though and if you want a full refund get it.

@ir0n: Don't need to stress to me on that. It's the stressful situations that I notice it the most. This basically describes me with anything that requires any kind of precision.

@ir0n: I typically don't play a lot of shooters on my PC where as I play a lot of MMO's, ARPG's, and RTS on my computer. I do most of my shooting on consoles but I'm definitely going to be giving it a good college try as soon as I can get some adequate game time. The nice thing with my setup is I can adjust my DPI settings per game if i want which may be an incredibly shitty move but we'll see. I also don't use weights in my mouse and have a pretty large area for my mouse movements. I also have a steel series gaming Mouse pad so surface area shouldn't be an issue.

Thought Furiona Bellona was in one of the boxes right now. I haven't been in a couple of months to check but I'm almost positive it was. They do rotate the boxes out though.

@cikame: @ir0n:

I always felt that the lower sensitivity or DPI felt too slow for me but I may not have given it enough time to get used to. I think for most games I run around 1600 or 2400 DPI for most games I play. I'll definitely lower the settings some for the games I'm having issues with. I appreciate the pro-tips.

So I enjoy playing the occasional mouse and keyboard game on the old PC from time to time. The issue I have though is that when playing any kind of FPS or game that requires precision aiming I don't have the steadiest of hands. I'm really comfortable playing with my mouse at a fairly high DPI and have gotten used to the speed and precision but I find a shake and can't seem to be precise when playing shooters.

Any thoughts or tips on how to overcome this? Typically I'd just switch over to a controller and deal with the handicap but I've recently gotten in to MechWarrior Online again and enjoy the extra keys that come on gaming mouse.
