Has anyone noticed how difficult it is to even attempt playing this game with a touchpad?
When scrolling through inventory or server you literally have to lift your two fingers and re-slide to move one place. This should be helped.
Not that I ever really use my touchpad, but on the rare occasion that I'm too lazy to plug my mouse in this gets extremely annoying.

I used a trackpad for a full year and I had no problems, why can't you just change what button scrolls? I set mine to the arrow keys and it worked fine.

I'm speaking about two finger sliding on the touchpad as a way to scroll up or down.

Right but you can change the keybinds so you dont need to do that or just change how fast it scrolls.

I once brought my old laptop to france back in like '08 with blockland loaded on it. It was meant to be a camping holiday, but I spent most of my time out of the tent and in a coffee shop playing blockland (with a trackpad)
Hey, its better than going on stuffty walks in the English countryside!
Anyways, Yeah it is very difficult and I wouldn't recommend it.

I had to instantly plug in my mouse when I tried playing Blockland with my touchpad. fighting is EXTREMELY difficult, and I know what you mean about using 2 fingers as scrolling, its really hard to do and annoying.

Wow, so many new guys
OT: I agree with this. Blockland is too fast paced to be played with a trackpad.

I used a trackpad forever and I had no problems

Ive been using it for my whole 1 and a half years on blockland and its fine. It can be difficult at times fighting a Dark Samus on Pecon's though.

@Ephialtes It wasn't a suggestion just stating a fact.
Whatever though.

I can't see a way of doing this without dumbing the game down.

I'm not even talking about gameplay.
Just simply scrolling, and I guess the only way of fixing that would be to do as Crown suggested.
Might as well lock this though, it's not like we're getting anywhere.
