Proposal for Controller Scheme

[kadedbaker]

Instead of using the stick to choose the direction of swing or relative position y'all need to put it in that AXYB control the direction of swing. These buttons are hardly used in combat and the stick for swing direction sucks. Please fix this in the next patch.

Strongly disagree

 

[kadedbaker]

Thats cool you disagree but for what reason shouldn't it be included?

 

[kombatking]

Totally agree would make it alot easier even to have the option to change the layout is just as good if not better I find the current set up plays havoc with camera view and when things get a bit heated either the camera angle changes causing you to misplace a strike or deflect an incoming blow

Wish more people would post on this. What I'm proposing would really open up the game to console players. If Warband was a test to see how well Bannerlord will do on consoles then Taleworlds is really holding their game back by forcing console gamers to adapt to a ridiculous fighting mechanic and makes the game less accessible to players. For almost always on console first person and third person game the two sticks have been for looking and moving; to try and put extra commands on top of that is stupid. Taleworlds y'all really need to look at what I'm proposing...

Well I use the option for auto-aim, or based on enemy position - I think might be worded that way.  Seems fine.

I wish there was an option to re-assign the L3 and R3 buttons.  The recent patch gave an option to disable R3 zoom, but I don't want to keep switching that on and off, because I definitely need it on during sieges to use my crossbow.

On a totally unrelated side note, Khergit castle defense is terrible!  I can take a castle from them with an equal number of Swadian knights versus their Lancers and Horse Archers, and totally destroy them, having like maybe 10 of my men killed out of 150 or more.  Mind you I'm not complaining too much...

It's the core function of the game, it's how mount and blade works. You choose attack and block direction by your movement. That's how it works on PC, where this game from. Changing it to buttons would throw that all out the window. Idk I can't even find the words to explain, if you change it to buttons instead of analog direction it changes the game entirely, and not for the better IMO.

That is not correct. Movement never determines attack direction, it's how you move your camera that does it. I also agree that it makes much more intuitive sense to me that pressing "X" gives me the easily spammable left-attacks. I mean that's the entire thing about gaming, you mash those four buttons and look excited, attack directions for them seems fine.

This literally would make the game impossible to play. When using your controller, your right hand controls the right analog stick to look around while moving. You can press RT to swing in that direction you are looking. If you need to press a button at the same time you are pressing RT in order to control direction, how is it possible to also control where you are looking at the same time? It is impossible for one hand to control where to look, how to attack, and then the act of attacking all at the same time. That's just common sense.

By movement I meant movement of camera

Man idk, a game on console shouldn't ignore half the buttons on our controller. Sure maybe it was that way on pc, but everyone knows that console controllers are much less accurate than using a mouse. Like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. If you want to argue that i can't possibly control the characters movements with attack direction as a button I would say you lack the hand and finger coordination that i have. You could still play the game you want.... Don't want to take it away, just open it up the console community...

 

[CL0VER0]

All those buttons do something anyway.

Not to mention it removes a large need for skill from the game. You have to learn how to move your fingers in order to swing the correct direction or block effectively. Moving that stuff to the buttons makes it too easy if I'll I have to do to block a left swing is press x
