First both of these (once your body is used to the turn speeds, and assuming you/anyone who uses a controller has the sensitivity set to full) is negligible.
Are you even being serious? It takes an xbox player just under 2 seconds to turn 360 degrees at max sens, how long does it take on pc using a mouse?
I will load up SoT on my xbox and confirm turn speed and let you know my findings. Even at max sensitivity, 2 seconds seems slow/incorrect. (compared to how i adjusted it for my kid. Default is god awful.) Yes i know mouse turn speed can seem near instantaneous, but I will get some actual numbers for a full 360 and 180 degree turn speed when i get home.
This used to be correct for the Eye of Reach, but they recently changed how this works. I don't have a "sniper" mouse and yet my friend did and told me how this would change the DPI setting and allow him to aim faster using it. However, since their recent patch/update the Eye "aims" faster naturally. So moot argument?
Again are you being serious? You can adjust the dpi on nearly all mice to increase sensitivity & speed, which gives even more advantage to pc players. Nothing to do with EOR, it increases it across the board!!
Just because you can on "nearly all mice" does not mean that EVERYONE on PC does. And again i could see its usefulness pre Eye buff. That thing took forever to aim, but it doesnt anymore. So i would say the "average" pc gamer on SoT wont need to bother with it anymore. Sure i will give you the "extra competitive" ones still may. But that's not reflective of the PC community as a whole. (And also the DPI change did NOT effect aiming cannons, my friend tested that out also.)
I have had slow load times also on my "master uber PC"
All the time? No!
No not all the time, again this is dependent on several factors, Latency, ping, network traffic... it boils down to client/server connection. Some times Network traffic suffers. Not only LAN (aka your network) but MAN/WAN also. Could be an ISP issue.
Xbox is consistently slower than nearly all pcs (even potatoes!)
This will happen with older equipment. This isnt limited to this game, many xbox one games are only 30fps "due to their locked in specs" that are not upgradeable.
That is the case, but this also garners a small advantage to pc players.
To me it sounds like you are complaining that the game as a whole should play the same across all Xbox one consoles and PC. (in this case they would all be reduced in some way shape or form to play on the first gen xbox one.) Even though it was optimized for the Xbox One X. I concede that if this game came out a decade earlier or so (when we did NOT have multiple variations of the same console, since each iteration now, has slightly better hardware) this might be viable. But this tell me their sales tactic is to get you to "upgrade" your console by buying the newer hardware. Trust me I don't like it any more than you.
This has been proven wrong.
Meh.
What the hell do you need more than 8 buttons remap able for in this game anyway???? 3 weapons, shovel and bucket. Thats all you really need... /facepalm
Bananas, planks, cannonballs etc, etc
You have the option of binding any item to any key.
You have quick access to everything & can equip the items quicker.
You have enough keys to hotkey everything required for a battle, xbox players do not, we have to basically stop fighting to be able to equip some items during battle!
So yes, you don't need 128keys, but you have them.
Xbox don't have enough buttons to be able to remap everything to a hotkey, so therefore you 128 keys is an advantage is it not?
I can tell you right now, i don't remap any buttons. I use defaults:
1= Sword
2= Secondary weapon
3= Bananas
4= Cannon balls
5= Wood Plank
6= Compass ?*
7= ?*
8= Shovel?*
9= ?*
10= ?*
11= ?*
12= ?*
B= Bucket
L= Lantern
*= can't tell you for sure because i don't use those buttons often enough.
Now i also have the SWTOR Razer mouse with 1-12 buttons on the side of it, that MIRRORS 1-10,-,= across the top of the keyboard. So I can access those buttons/preset hotkeys while moving. Advantage in that sense? Yes. but it was also a $60 mouse.
Let me understand this. If you play on xbox and you invite players to party chat (not using the ingame proximity chat) other players can still hear you? I am lost with this statement.
On pc a player can be in party chat (discord etc) but can still proximity game chat. So pc players can communicate with each other, can listen in on gamechat (but not be heard in gamechat).
Xbox can be in party but only hear the party & only talk to the party, or the can be in gamechat & can hear & be heard by everyone.
So to clarify a PC players can be in party & in effect in game chat at the same time, xbox can have 1 or the other!
Again this seems like a limitation due to the hardware/software with in the xbox itself. That being said, I am not a fan of games that require you to have "proximity" chat enabled by default. Maybe the issue here is with Rare/Microsoft for having it required. On the PC anyway it gives you the option when you first installed the game to allow that "app" to use your microphone. You would never hear any user that chose to deny that request (blame privacy settings on that one.) Even if they did enable "push to talk."
Can you give me one SOLID example of macro for this game? I completely understand "macros" and have used them in other MMO's this is mainly used to automate crafting, or spell casting when doing a raid, to make it mindless and not break my fingers. Please explain how a "macro" affects PVP in this sense. Again, I dont think you know what they actually do. The only thing i can think of to "exploit" is to keep the game from timing out due to AFK. but again Rare could have a system that detects such macros and could still boot you due to afk anyway.
No, i have no idea what a macro is. Please enlighten me, you PC genius!
Shoot, change weapon, shoot
Shoot, change weapon, slash, slash, slash,
Shoot, change weapon, shoot, banana
Or however you want to set them up or whichever button combos/keypresses you wish to cheat on i suppose?
Ok so a macro would really on work for precise timing in this case.(remember there are animations that slow down actions (reloading, eating, repairing)) Many keyboards that support macros (only record key clicks) I would not be able to do any of those that you suggest because it only records key presses. (not mouse clicks) Maybe its possible to remap "shooting/eating banana" aka left mouse click to a button. But that seems silly, especially when you take into account the delay with animations.
Example macro: shoot, change weapon, shoot, eat banana, change weapon, wait for reload, shoot. The macro would fail if one of your weapons was not loaded, or you had no ammo, or no bananas or even lag. There would be too many external forces at play to have the "macro" work every single time. Let alone if you relied on said macro, you are probably a bad player anyway.
Please mention more I would like to be enlightened.
Never going to enlighten pc players, [Mod edited], they won't listen anyway!
But, how about the plethora of cheats & hacks available also.
PC players will do anything to get & to keep their advantage, as they are the 'M*********e'.
I dunno man, i still don't see this "plethora of cheats & hacks" you speak of. Maybe you're just really unlucky at matchmaking or very presumptuous when it comes to PC players in general. I suspect its the latter.
