WASD

it's 2023, lack of WASD is archaic and brutal on the hands and wrist. fingers crossed that PoE2 will have WASD. At this point WASD is an accessibility option for us slower ppl. and before the haters chime in, if you don't like it, don't use it. I am not suggesting it be mandatory or default.

It's 2023 and people still don't make use of higher mouse dpi?

Besides that you could rebind your skills or potions on wsad to achieve pretty much the same thing. Cause you would have to rebind skills and potions anyways if wsad movement were a thing.

Controller support is also a thing for people with hands and wrist problems btw

WASD + Mouse is actually a superior control scheme.

It allows you to move and attack in different directions at once. Allows you to circle strafe, back peddle shoot and plenty of other maneuvers you can't do with what is now standard ARPG controls.

I say standard because there were at least two ARPGs that used WASD + Mouse before Diablo 2 cemented that standard and it worked very well in both cases. One even used the mouse right click for parry and attack combos on left click + WASD changing with click frequency and direction.

The fact the game can play with controller but not have WASD is kinda odd in my opinion.

I'm all for adding WASD, I can't name the number of times the pathing decided to do something stupid like can't figure out which side of a piller/wall it wants to be on and gets me killed.

I agree with you. It seems strange that when they added controller support WASD wasn't implemented at the same time.

He means WASD as movement override, so instead of using your left click and straining your wrist on the mouse you use WASD to override movement and allow stutter stepping familiarly to an MOBA.

Which would be exact the same as it is at the moment with mouse movements.
You'd still have to rebind your skills and everything to your mouse, and still use left click to pick up stuff.

Its not the same thing in game trust me.

it verymuch is not the same. click to move is so out dated nowadays and for good reason. it is killer on the wrist. I get what you're saying about dpi but as you increase the dpi you also increase the skill required and not everyone can handle micro twitch movement.

we used to have arrow key support, whatever happened to that o-o

i remember trying it.. it worked (kindof) and then i stopped using it because it caused jittery movement.
