It was comfortable to use the "Lost Ark" game pad, and the left hand alone was OK.How to play a masterpiece with one hand like a smartphone game

"I want to play a masterpiece game!" "I want to be drawn into a deep story!" "But I want to play like a smartphone game!"

I think many people have such a luxurious voice today.Is there such a game?

There is.The name is "Lost Ark".

This looks like this when the element is organized.

大作ゲームなの？本作はゲームオン運営のPC用オンラインRPG。コンテンツ量が多いMMORPGなので、時間をかけてたっぷり遊べる。

ストーリーが奥深いの？MMORPGでありながらソロRPG感覚でも楽しめる。ほかのプレイヤーとの関わりを強いられることがなく、物語に没頭できる（もちろん、MMORPG慣れしている人はパーティープレイを楽しんでもいい）。

スマホ並みに気軽なの？ゲームパッドでプレイ可能。ストーリー進行中など、シーンによってはスマホのように片手で操作できる。

What I want to pay attention to this time is the third element.Some of the home game players may have removed the options from the beginning, saying, "PC games operated with mouse and keyboards are outside of my specialty."

The image that keyboards and mouse operations are the mainstream may be shunned by "PC games are difficult."Some say, "Game pads are easier to play in games with high action."I see, I know both.

『ロストアーク』の戦闘はアクションRPG寄り。そして、2020年12月25日にはロジクールのゲームパッドが正式対応していることが発表された。in short,上記ふたつの問題はすでに解決済みなのだ。

You can see how easy it is to play when you actually try it."Lost Ark" is an online RPG for PC for free basic play.I am grateful that the hurdle when starting is low.

In this article, I will explain the ease of play and charm, along with the pattern of playing "Lost Ark" with a game pad.

Preparation: Just put it on the USB port and you're ready!

I guess the reason why mouse and keyboard operation are shunned in the first place is that the role of the left and right hands is the opposite of the controller of a home game console.

"Lost Ark" is basically the same.Make the movement with the right hand (mouse), and the skill attack with the left hand (keyboard).This is a classic style as a PC online game, and has been used in many current titles such as the League of Legend.

家庭用ゲームの場合、左アナログスティックで直感的に移動できるのが一般的。『ロストアーク』ではゲームパッドを接続すると左アナログスティックが移動用として認識される。移動の“左右の違い”に戸惑うことがなくなるので、PC用MMORPGの入門タイトルとして選ぶのもアリだ。

For introductory, I would like to recommend the Lost Ark recommended game pad "Logitech F310 Game Pad", which is used in this article.There is no troublesome procedure such as installation or setting of drivers, and it is easy to use just by putting it on a USB port.

By the way, this game pad supports two input methods, "Xinput" and "Direct Input".

Direct Input is an old input format.Because of the old -fashioned format, recent games may not be recognized in analog sticks, or buttons may not work well.

Xinput is an optimized format for Windows assuming an Xbox controller.Thanks to that, Windows PCs can be used immediately without setting settings.This Xinput type is used in "Lost Ark".The dual shock of PlayStation 4 is not an Xinput format, so it cannot be used in "Lost Ark".

Recently, there are many PC games assuming Xinput game pads, and most of the commercially available game pads are compatible with Xinput format.In the Xinput input format, various operating devices can be used in "Lost Ark".

With such a thing, I was ready for the game pad just by putting it on the USB port.You may think that you have to set the button assignment with a keycom fig, etc., but in fact, "Lost Ark" does not need to prepare for that area.

The default key arrangement is quite easy to use, so there is almost no need to re -set up.

Speaking of MMORPG, I think some people have the image that "20 pieces must be used enough to use."But don't worry about Lost Ark.

Summarizing the operation on the mouse and keyboard in "Lost Ark", the default is as follows.

このように、操作方法は非常にシンプル。なおかつ戦闘はアクションゲーム寄りで、ふだん使う戦闘用スキルスロットは8枠。8ボタンを設定できれば問題ないので、ゲームパッドでもボタンが足りなくなることなく操作できる。

Battle: Replace your skills in your own way!

I will introduce the tips for actually fighting with a game pad after explaining the basic operation of the battle.First, as a basic preparation, register eight skills in the slot.At that time, it is easy to fight if you put it easy to use.The basics are the same for game pad operation.

XYABボタンにはデフォルトで基本攻撃、クラス特有のアイデンティティスキル、移動（回避）スキル/起き上がりが設定。スキルやアイテムを使う際はLRボタン/トリガーを併用することになる。

As another example,

There are various easy -to -use arrangements, such as.

In addition, the "Lance Master" I use is a class that switches between the two styles of "Ranbu", which are excellent in range attacks and weakening enemies, and "one heart", which is superior to high -fire attacks on a single unit.。The skill slot frame switches for each style, and up to 16 skills are used to register each dedicated skill.

The style switch is executed with the unique action "identity" prepared for each class.Lancemaster's style switching identity is assigned to the Z key for keyboard operation.I was not good at pressing the Z key during the game, so I used to register the Z key on the side button of the gaming mouse.

だが、ゲームパッドならYボタンを単体で押すだけなので、スタイルの切り替えも楽。スキルスロット枠がまるごと入れ替わるとはいえ、先述した“連携の順番に沿った配置”にさえしておけば、どちらのスタイルでもボタンを押す順番はまったく変わらない。in short,まったくもって難しいことはないのだ。

Movement: The game proceeds with just the left hand!

I guess you've understood that game pads are convenient in battle operations, but the usual movements are more convenient.

The point is a left stick.Not only can you move intuitively and easier, but also the "decision button" required for actions such as "speaking" and "investigating" in RPG is assigned to the left stick pushed in by default.

in short,

In addition, the operation of riding a ride that makes the movement comfortable is set down the cross key to the left of the game pad by default.All movements and quests and stories can be completed with just the left hand operation.

この仕様によってストーリーの進行中などはつねに右手が自由になり、空いた右手でほかのことができる。ポテチをつまんだり（お箸を使うと手やゲームパッドが汚れないのでオススメ）、飲みものを飲んだり、スマホをいじったりもできるわけだ。フリーダム！

Game progression: If you remember this much, you can play it

In "Lost Ark", "Talk to NPCs in various places" → "Receive quests" is the basic game flow.The mini map is frequently opened to check the location of the NPC, and the game pad can turn on/off with one back button.

In addition, the list of "musical instruments" playing songs to escape from the dungeon and emotions such as "dancing" can be displayed with a single button.It is convenient to remember this too.

Custom: Let's create an operation environment that suits you

As we have introduced so far, the operation with the game pad is very comfortable even with the default settings.However, many people who have played games on home aircraft think that "attacks are R buttons/R triggers!"In fact, in a certain robot action match game, the attack is assigned an attack to the trigger button on the back of the controller.

In "Lost Ark", the button operation of the game pad can be configured.The simultaneous push can only be set with a back button such as an L button or an L trigger, but if you master it, you will be able to operate your own style.

In addition, the mouse cursor can be moved with a right stick for the skill of specifying the landing position with the mouse cursor, so it can be used without a mouse.However, the cursor movement on the right stick is quite difficult, so I would recommend switching "auto lock ON/OFF" on the setting screen.

If you want to play technical play, such as specifying the position more finely, it is ant to move the mouse with your right hand only when using the position specified skill.

This mouse combination style is convenient.You can call the main menu with a game pad, but you can use a mouse intuitively to operate the inventory.

In situations other than battles, it is more comfortable to use the mouse at the same time.In addition to the recommended game pads introduced this time, commercially available game pads have various functions and button arrangements, and the ease of play is individual.It is a nice place to be able to respond firmly to the operation of each person with a keycon fig.

In the first place, "Lost Ark" has a simple operation method itself.Because the number of buttons required is small, the operation feeling in the game pad is almost the same as a home game.

Despite such a simple operation, it is amazing that the new continent "Lohendel" was implemented on December 23, 2020, making the world more vivid, and continuing to power up as a masterpiece RPG.。

I want to play down the bold masterpiece RPG with my favorite pad!For those who say, "Lost Ark" is perfect.Speaking of games, I would like to tell those who are not good at MMORPG for PC because they are not good at gamepad operation, keyboard & mouse.

Play "Lost Ark" to realize the comfort of a smartphone game and the depth of the same as a stationary machine.
