Lol, wut? no WASD? Literally unplayable. Glad I wasted all that time downloading, WTF.

Seriously though, how hard is it to do the bare minimum and allow your players to move like in literally every other game. this is egregious and you should feel shame.

Guess the past years of us all playing just fine and having fun with PoE was indeed just an illusion then..

Or.. maybe, just a little crazy thought here from somebody who barely plays at all.. maybe, just maybe you need to learn how to play games the way they're made, and quit demanding placation to your 'special needs' in a game you get for free ;)?

Of course, since you are superior to everyone else and the only person who matters, you can just use your unique skills to make your own F2P ARPG open to the world, WITH all the WASD movement you like, heck you can even put in double jumping, teabagging, and that Fortnite dance you like!

I played all my PC gamer life with WASD (started with Half Life) . It was very annoying to get used to the mouse movement. Now, I played the game for 1850 hours and find it still annoying, beside the not rotatable camera. Divinity: Original Sin for example works fine with the option to chose, and has a implemented camera rotation despite the same perspective.
And to be honest, for the common "faceroll playstyle" you just only need 1, or 2 buttons for the use of skills.
QERFTG and 1-5 are well reachable, while moving. The only problem you have is in the case, that you what to activate several flask at once, which happens all the time later in the game.

I respect the childhood memorys of many gamers from the last century, but please, we have 2019. I bet, there are a lot of players not playing the game because of that.

you have 2 type of RPG games: isometric (this - view from above) and first person (you are in the character spot and you see either your character or what's in front of him)

personally from the isometric games i played only D2, D3 and POE (maybe torchlight but too little to call it playing). i don;t remember any of them having support for WASD since you can move in all directions and easily get "confused" to which way is forward - probably what you're experiencing (haven't read all you said)

my advice is to try to get used to mouse movement in isometric games and wasd in FP games. there's a good reason why they chose that - besides the fact that in aRPG (action RPG) you kinda need to smash a few buttons for skills, so keeping WASD and smasing 3-4-5 other buttons will require you to have a 3rd hand or 7-8 fingers at 1 hand.

PS: i play a lot of RPGs and i quite enjoy them a lot and i had no issues switching from mouse movement in isometric games to WASD in FP games and back.

But since PoE can also be played on controller, wouldn't it be actually easy to add such feature?

I'd recommend sending e-mail directly to GGG support.
And then please let us know what they reply to you. :-)

"we will consider that, but we are very very busy right now and can't tell you when it will be implemented"

**actual thoughts**
"we hope you forget about it by telling you it's not gonna happen in the near future"

I need to get far away, very quickly to take this shot... MOVEMENT SKILL.
I need this shot to count so I'd like extra damage added to it... ARCANE SURGE on MOVEMENT SKILL.
As a spellcaster Flame Dash/ Arcane Surge is my BEST friend.
I could not play this game with WASD, there is enough going on with both hands already.
Actually mouse feels completely effortless to me, worst case I may click "cast without moving", but other than that, movement is the least of my issues in Wraeclast.

I wish I could hit this monster while running away... said no melee fighter ever.

I am having a great time dashing through the mobs and getting the juicy backstab while they figure out where I went!

And played on controller can be taken with a grain of salt.
Don't put your main skill on your pickup(X) or you'll be dead :)
It's nice on PS4, but it's no comparison to the freedom of mouse movement.

And I learned this weekend, Syndicate is JUST as laggy on PS4...

He probably also wants to play iRacing with WASD.
because its what he is used to and EVERY GAME uses it.
well, expect the "founder" of the genre, diablo. as he admits...
