Still No Key Rebinding?

Are you turning to personal attacks because you have no real way to defend your point?

 

No, I'm genuinely curious seeing how you just repeated the exact same thing I just wrote.

I know they're working on the feature. That's why I'm not asking for it. I'm just waiting.

What I said is that the people that don't know what the developer are working on right now are perfectly within their rights to ask for a feature like this, as long as they are polite and then patient when informed that, yes, it's being worked on.

This did not require you to remind me that the game was in beta.

But do tell me what you interpret my point as. It would be interesting to know.

Here's a quote from my original post:

Tell me what part of that is a complaint.

 

So people should be able to complain without doing research first to see if their complaint is even valid?

 

Asking for a feature is not complaining.

Research is good but it's unreasonable to expect that everyone knows where to look.

 

Never said it's complaining it's just pointless this early in beta especially when you can look up the planned features.

 

Was key binding even originally on that? And again, not everyone will know where to look to find information on what the developers are working on. If people ask the same question to often, then perhaps a FAQ or development roadmap would be good idea.

And it's very rarely pointless to ask for a feature. If people didn't say what they wanted, the developers wouldn't be able to consider it (Assuming it isn't something they already planned). What's pointless is being rude and impatient.

That is not saying that everything players ask for is worth considering though, but I leave it up to the developers themselves to decide what is and what isn't.

 

Let me level with you asking for a feature is fine and I am over zealous some times. I just get bothered when people get mad over missing features in beta instead of doing research or being civil like you.

 

It's fine. I've done the same myself before. Over lesser things and being proven so very wrong. It happens.

The last patch removing the de-spawning of player dropped items actually removed the primary reason I wanted key binding (Accidentally hitting Q and dropping my items), so while I still want the feature, I don't mind waiting a bit more.

But I can definitely sympathize with the left handed people that just can't play with right oriented controls. As I said earlier, I can't adapt to a standard vertical orientation for analog sticks. I need to have inverted. It's just the way your brain is wired, you know.

But they're working on it, only thing we can be is patient.

 

Frankly, I don't see why keybinding should be upped on the priority list over massive game breaking things like METEORS.
Every time you say meteors it has to be bolded.

But seriously, quality of life changes/gameplay mechanics can wait until game-breaking balance issues have been fixed, imo.
Maybe this is the right-hand in me talking.

 

Oh god... just someone lock this thread already? There's no point about having a fight over something that's incomplete and then scream that you know how it should be at this point in time and this is how much stuff should be in the game now. Since you're not developing it so you should just keep it shut until the game's released. If the key-binding's missing even then, you got a point. Until that, you have no argument.

 

Early Access. Discuss problems so they aren't present in the game's release.

Seriously. If this thread should be locked for any reason, is that the discussion is pretty pointless at this point and partially derailed for awhile.

 

LOL! Just unsub from the thread and then you can pretend you locked the thread... But in case that doesn't work for you this stuff really works:

 

Didn't a dev tweet it was being worked on

 

Yes, it's being worked on. We know that. I only hope the patch goes up quicker than the last one apparently did, and that the keybinding fix is in it, because I can't even try this game until it does. Maybe I shouldn't have assumed it'd have keybinding when I forked over $15, but right now, I regret buying the damn thing.

 

You didn't pay $15 for the game you got now, but for the game it will be when it's "done". So the price isn't really that unreasonable, given how much they're already planning to put into the game.

But yeah, forums exist partly for us to ask for features like this. And now when they are working on said feature, we can only wait patiently until it's done.

So yeah, hang in there. You'll be able to play soon enough.

 

Like you, I'm in the same boat. Since it's 2014 and with my experience with other alphas, pre-alphas, and betas, I never stopped to think "Oh, maybe keybinding isn't in yet. Maybe I should wait." because every game I've tested in this capacity has had key remapping (even Rust, which I'm currently playing). I don't think it was unreasonable for us to assume that the game would have key remapping this late in development, but I guess we're wrong lol.

 

You're assuming that the game is further in the development than it really seems to be. sorry to say. As a developer myself, I'm pretty sure it's in alpha still. The amount of stuff doesn't make a game. It still needs months and months of development to really be on a good ground.

 

You made an assumption based on no evidence to support your choice. And what's more, you bought it knowing it's incomplete. Even the devs themselves said that the pressure from the community became too great and they had to release even if they didn't feel it was ready for public beta. They did say it very discreetly, but none the less.

 

I don't know about everyone else, but I feel this conversation has a few hundred more pages of quality content before it finally starts to dwindle.

 

I am left handed I dont have an issue
