Sorry if this has been suggested, I can't find a search option for the forums.

Honestly, it's just a bad design. My MX Revolution's right click micro-switch is now dying. Wanna know how fun it is playing a cover game when every other time you lean out to aim it fails and pops you back behind cover before you can even line up a shot? Not at all.

On top of that my hand now hurts from my middle finger to my little finger and my wrist. And no the scanner upgrade doesn't help any of that at all. Besides, reducing physical pain should not be an incentive to do something in a game.

I don't even agree with most of the suggestions to "fix" scanning as it just detracts from the gameplay that keeps most if not all of us in this series: combat, conversations, and exploration.

Please just patch this out, add a one click scan button, maybe an auto-scanner that will spend say 5 probes on the top 5 resource sites. Don't let it scan below moderate for balance if you want. I don't really care as long as I don't have to move that crosshair around planets anymore. Make it optional if you think there's someone out there that actually enjoys scanning but... please. This is a really amazing game and any other issues I have can be chalked up to personal preference that don't impact my enjoyment all that much, but breaking my fairly expensive mouse and risking permanent nerve damage is a little much to ask.

I find it hard to believe this made it through testing. And yet, here it is. Is anybody else out there with me on this?

I think you're misunderstanding the concept of software patches. If a system is working as designed, we're not going to patch it. What you're asking for is to change the game, not fix it, and that is not the usual purpose of patches.



We cannot and will not customize the game for each individual who happens to like or dislike specific parts of the game, just as authors do not routinely re-write passages in their book to satisfy individuals who happen to want something changed.



not liking something is fine. Preferring something else is fine. Asking for a feature to be removed because you don't like it is selfish and unreasonable. There are thousands upon thousands of other players out there, each with his own opinions and preferences. You wouldn't like it if they called for us to "patch out" something you enjoyed, would you?

Not even for me? But, but, I bought Return to Ostagar, I'm a valued customer!

That's it, I'm not buying the next piece of DLC! Bioware will just have to go with one less donut during breaks! Fear my vengeful wrath!

Traitors!

nope, the Dragon Aage team was rather specific about you, Darkest Dreamer. "That Darkest Dreamer," they said. "Let's ignore all his suggestions and make sure the game is not customized for him." i knew it was serious when I saw the memo and found that they had dotted all the i's with frowny faces. Musta been something you said.

Stan, why didn't you simply lock this?

No one complained about it, and the thread was generally discussing things well. It was also a subject I thought I might respond to.

Why can't resources be acquired during normal missions? Why is a mini-game needed?

Armchair developing after the fact may make you feel better, but it doesn't really solve anything. There are so many things we could have done, probably even lots of things we should have done, but for one reason or another, we didn't.

Why didn't we make the colour palette red? Why did we give Mordin one shorter head thingy? Why does Miranda have black hair? Why did we make the story go in this direction? Why did we add in minigames? Why the resource requirements? Why why why?

I'm sorry if the minigame makes your hand/arm hurt, but that's not entirely our lookout. We cannot be responsible for all of our players' physical or medical conditions. Believe me, I suffer from gout and tendinitis and long hours playing ME2 on a mouse and keyboard do bad things to me in the days following.

I've found that warming up beforehand and stretching my fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder do wonders for my joint and muscle endurance when playing games and clutching that mouse for long periods of time. Limiting one's playtime or interrupting it with stretching breaks will also help. We are not responsible for how you play our game, but I always encourage responsible gaming and moderation in all things, even the fun stuff.

This may or may not apply to your unique situation.
