I wish there were better transparency with this system DICE/EA has here, this website and its purpose. By transparency I mean transparency in the same way a package sent in the mail usually has tracking that is viewable in some format in the internet, so that the sender and the receiver may rest assured as to exactly what's going on with the package being sent through the mail. The almost complete lack of the 'look' function while in Legacy controls is a HUGE and dealbreaking problem for Legacy stick users in Battlefront. Yet, while I appreciate that there has been two comments from an employee at DICE about this problem, to this thread, it has been weeks now since the game's release, and even longer than that for those were able to get it before the official release in stores.
I'm flabbergasted at the reaction time of the people whose responsibility as DICE employees is to fix problems exactly like this one. I've played a popular game on the PC called "League of Legends." The developers of this game pay a great deal of attention to the players of their game. These developers call their company "Riot Games." If this were a game made by Riot Games, this problem would have been found during the beta, and patched/hotfixed IMMEDIATELY as soon as humanly possible. I've been sitting here now for days and weeks checking back on this forum and in the game itself to see if there has been any change or update on the current state of affairs, at all.
If we (players) knew what goes on at DICE, we would then be able to rationalize and understand why this problem happened, and why its taking so very long.
For myself, this bug started out as a major inconvenience. That is me being generous, or putting it lightly. I can't use the default thumbstick setting anywhere nearly as proficiently as I can use Legacy controls. Every time I have tried in the past with other games, I have ended being frustrated and exasperated, because I can't even walk or look at things without seeming like my character has a physical and mental deficiency.
The past history of awesome games that lack Legacy controls has profoundly exacerbated this particular issue with this game, and this is becoming outrageous in my view as a result.
