DarkMark Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) There should be an option so that left click rotates the panels to the left, and right click rotates them to the right. The current backwards hacking terminal directions feel off to everyone I've asked about it, and they said they would prefer an option to switch it around.

Xoxile Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It's left click turns it to the left from the top. Right click turns it to the right on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 It's left click turns it to the left from the top. Right click turns it to the right on the top. No, the current system turns the panels from the bottom. You can tell by the way the panel turns. And it's very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VieuxPappy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Left click is clockwise rotation, right click is anticlockwise rotation. No big deal in my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkMark Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Left click is clockwise rotation, right click is anticlockwise rotation. No big deal in my opinion... You're missing the point. There are many people (like me) who want the option to reverse it so that it actually makes sense. And it wouldn't be hard to implement.

Mak_Gohae Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 You're hacking, it's supposed to be slightly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTemplar Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I don't see the harm with an optional toggle, so long as it doesn't mess with those of us who are used to it as is. So a toggle in options that you have to check to reverse it from what it is now. That said, I have no idea how many manhours would be required. And there are more important things for DE to work on at the moment. I.e. you're being kind of OCD about this OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 OCD? This is the only topic I've made about this, and the first time I've brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyTemplar Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Not OCD in the "posting too much about something way." OCD as in "being unusually bothered by mouse clicks turning a cog right instead of left." Second biggest annoyance is pretty high up there. If it helps, instead of thinking about it as a left click turning right, think about it as a left clicking pushing forward/upward with the left hand. This would turn a wheel to the right (clockwise). And right clicking is moving your right arm forward/upward, which would turn a wheel to the left (counter-clockwise). It's just like the steering wheel when driving a car. When you need to turn left, you initiate with your right hand. You turn right initiating with your left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti . . . . . . clockwise If you are saying it's "anti clockwise" (2 words) than go read http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/anticlockwise It's a single word. Derp.

Lek5tacy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It was one of the first things I noticed in Warframe and to be honest, I still have moments when hacking where I turn it the wrong way because I assume left mouse click feels like it should rotate to the left, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon357 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'd like this too, honestly. I got used to it this way... kinda. I still mess up occasionally. It's down to personal preference, I suppose, but for me it just feels more natural to left-click to rotate left. The important thing would be to add it in the options and make it off by default so that the people who are already used to it don't get annoyed :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSalmonWithLemon Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I think they should get rid of this system entirely and actually use something more complicated like in Deus Ex. It would actually give reason to using a Cipher. http://youtu.be/nQ0rPLlU8v4?t=7m5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1un4cy Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I always spin the hacking hexagons the wrong way cuz I want them to go counter-clockwise (left from top) when I click M1, not the other way around. At least a little [X] box to reverse the directions in the options would be super convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazko Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 hold the mouse upside down just before you begin to hack, now everything is backwards woooooo I dont think it's too much of a problem, its easy enough that you dont begin to break down and cry when you hear "WE'VE BEEN LOCKED OUT" and hard enough that you wouldnt hack a terminal with an elite squad of rollers on your &#! Just get used to the way it rotates, its not difficult to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'm already used to it, after over 200 hours on this game. That doesn't mean I don't want an option to make it turn properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyBruns Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 seriously...... there are mechanics in the game that are downright broken... and your griping because you want to be able to reverse which way you turn the tile when your hacking a console?even IF this gets noticed.... I seriously doubt that something this trivial would even get touched for another 2 to... 5 updates from now... as you know, having someone rework that in the UI is so high on the priority list with other planned overhauls of broken systems that I'm sure it'd be hotfix worthy...

Archon357 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yes. If no one brings it up, it will never get fixed/reworked whatever. Just because there are more important things to fix does not meant that this problem is non-existent. Thanks for the bump, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
