You mean that if you hold your left mouse button to move and press shift, you keep moving?

As long as you are holding the mouse button you won't change action. It's the same when you are shift-attacking, keep pressing your mouse button and then release shift.

It's not really a bug, it just takes a little time to get used to :)

This isn’t something everybody should get used to.

I bought a key because I really think this game has a lot potential. I am a Final Fantasy Fan and I like the grid with all the passive stats and also the skill-system.

So I thought an ARPG with all these content can’t be wrong…
False. The most important thing in an ARPG is the gameplay.
Right now I don’t feel like playing the beta because I really can’t enjoy the game.

Pressing CRTL while already mouse pressing should make the character stop moving and shot instead, this contributes a lot to make the gameplay enjoyable. The only reason I press CRTL is that I want my character to stop and shot, why else would I press it?

All I want to say is, I like all the ideas put into the game but please focus on making the gameplay fluent and enjoyable. Nice graphics are nice to have but the gameplay is far more important.

i'd like to add something: please make the Hold Position key free to bind it somewhere else than crtl.
they who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety
Yes I don't like that it doesn't work like in d3 where you can move then just shift to stop and attack.

Currently it adds additional unnecessary action.
We're going to be improving this system shortly, have been talking with others about it. Sadly, rebinding it is a bit further away, but hopefully this is a start.

I've noticed this bug as well. When i'm using a bow i'll hold shift to fire at things a bit off screen. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt and i get this "boop boop boop" sound. Kind of sucks when i'm trying to kite mobs and i can't run, pop shots, run, repeat.
