The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
So I hate myself and started playing this game again. I have a singular question; Does anyone on ship 4 have the nier automata weapon camos for sale? The Type 3 Fists is literally all I want right now and it drives me nuts that I didn't think to log in and get them when the collab was on.

Yeah, it doesn't like dinput, at all. Use DS4windows and have it hide the DS4.

To give this post some actual content, it's less than a week until PSO2 day and SEGA has been rolling out some juicy bonuses to returning players (and people partying with them). I'm at work otherwise I'd link some infographics.

Also the new Omega Apprentice EQ which dropped on patch day this week is.... good??? for reaction shots if nothing else:

As a terrible Hu main, controller works fine, but if I was playing a class where aiming actually mattered I'd go with keyboard.
Also the returner bonus is pretty sweet, I give everybody in my party triboost and an extra piece of loot.

Alright so, the problem here is that the game normally reads your controller's axis inputs like it is an xbox 360 controller. Dualshock 4 (and I think most controllers since then) use the control axis differently, mostly because the standard drivers for a 360 controller do something absolutely horrible; the Left and Right trigger are on the same axis, one makes it go negative and the other makes it go positive.

anyway so what's happening is that the game is reading the dualshock 4 triggers as the inputs for camera control, and when they are both unpressed, make the camera start looking up (one trigger) and to the right (the other trigger). you need to go into options and find the controller calibration wizard, and when you reach the point where it asks you to set the inputs for the left and right sticks, you NEED to hold BOTH triggers exactly halfway down use the edge of a desk or something to help you out if you need to.

As for the Great Keyboard vs Controller Debate, the main issue I see right now is that 3-button mode has too many buttons you need access to during normal combat. especially stuff that ought to be important enough for being a face button.

action 1, action 2, action 3, interact/pickup, jump, backside pallet, selected subpallet slot use, and dodge would take up all four face buttons and all four triggers; but what pushes it over the edge for me is that I'd want to be able to map the dedicated weapon action button too; so I could take advantage of 3-button mode to it's fullest potential. and I feel like there's just one too few buttons for me to comfortably map it all to the dualshock 4; though some of this mentality might still be leftover from me wanting to use the touchpad button as a push-to-talk button, but I kinda haven't been in voice chat or streamed in almost a year or two now.

touchpad might be good for jump or interact, since you can reach it with both thumbs

yeah ds4windows basically just alters how the inputs are interpreted so your computer just sees it as a 360 controller. a number of games would still need you to do this anyway because they only read 360 inputs and don't let you completely reconfigure the settings or something like that, I suppose I just wanted to figure out how to use that configuration wizard to work in pso2 so you could use a ds4 without ds4windows

it looks like the way the team store will work is that spending team points will give the item to all team members who have been online in the last 30 days; though new team members will have to wait 7 days before they can start receiving these items. Team size will grant a discount, up to 30% off the base price; the screenshot they provided says a team of 20 people gets a 26% discount. Hopefully the game goes off of total team size for the discount, and not just number of people who would qualify for getting the item!

oh yeah there's other stuff in that update mini-site too

December's going to have the final boss for episode 5; so those of you who weren't too big on ep5's setting can at least rejoice. The content will still be there, but with the way PSCrew is deathly afraid of dividing the attention of the playerbase you would only have to worry about the times they might have a campaign boost to some of it.

It still annoys me that they made two awesome vocal tracks for Las Vegas and then restricted them to riding quests so you never hear them any more.
At least put them in the free field so I get to hear them when I'm doing daily quests in there like Tokyo.
