Please please please add a reasonable mouse movement interface

Mouse movement is best, wasd is completely unusable.

completely unusable, thats why its the mmorpg standard?
you cant learn to use the standard (non flight sim) y axis?

if you're going to suggest things don't say the standard way of doing things is completely broken , just makes you look looney and not worth paying due attention to.

I just started playing and after a few minutes of frustration came to the forums looking for exactly what was described in the top post: a more fluid mouse movement interface and a way of changing the y-axis.

I agree with the original poster. Click on a spot and move to it, then click on another spot and move to it is stupid. And it most certainly is NOT the standard method of moving around in online games. You probably haven't heard of a game called world of warcraft? No? How about Dark Age of Camelot? No? Maybe Ultimate Online? Those, and many many others do not use this silly method of movement as their standard interface, although some do have an option to enable this sort of thing if you really really want to use it.

As he stated, holding down both mouse buttons and changing direction as the mouse moves is much better. It is fluid and allows for quick easy movement with considerably greater control.

The y-axis used here does seem to be the standard but you'll notice that every major game offers an option to reverse it as many many people prefer it reversed. That's just a personal preference and I don't see how offering an option to accommodate those people could possible cause you any problem.

Options are great and they allow people with different playstyles to use whatever playstyle is comfortable for them. Since movement is the most basic, most important element of the game, there should, imo, be ample options to allow people to move about in different ways.

As to looking "looney", you are the one flaming someone who stated that they were leaving the game and in all likelihood would never return to the forums, let alone see your little post. I thought his comments were very reasonable (as it is what I am looking for as well) and thought your flame was totally uncalled for.

Umm... one sec. Movement is WASD for the most part (Same as Wow and most others), though the option of mouse move does exist. I personally don't use it except for long distrance travel while flying (Click as far in front of your char as you can). The only admittedly minor complaint i have is the lack of a "Follow" camera angle to select. As i said though, a minor complaint and it's easy enough to work around.
If you find the mouse move to be too clumsy for your preference, i would suggest sticking to the WASD standard. Pretty basic control format for everything from FPS to MMORPG's, and fairly easy to learn.

I think you misread it. The first guy said that the system of clicking on a spot, moving to it, clicking on another spot, moving to it was 'unusable'. The second guy said that system of mouse movement was the 'mmorpg standard'. I was just pointing out to him that that form of mouse movement is NOT the standard.

You are quite right that the keyboard movement works just like it does in all other games. That's fine for those that like to use the keyboard. For those that like to use the mouse, I too would like to see a better mouse movement interface adopted, like what is used in wow and other games.

I totally agree with you about the follow-me camera angle. That would be a nice addition.

It's not that you can't learn to use a regular camera interface, it's that you don't want to because you're too stuck in your own ways. Learn to differentiate between inverted and not by playing a while with both, it helps. On CoD I always have invert Y-axis on, and I probably play that more than I do PWI, but I do just fine without an inverted axis.

The mouse and WASD movements are fine as they are. I find that sometimes I get bored of holding down W to go everywhere, so I use the mouse to click a far ways away and go in that direction until the time calls for me to go somewhere else.

It's not that the movement controls or the camera interface is bad, it's because you don't want to use it.

I use move to click everyday and it seems to work fine for me. The fact that there is a complete lack of keyboard remapping doesn't help any though.

Personally I thought WASD was ridiculous at first, but I got used to it fairly quick. The only movement change that I think NEEDS to be added is a hold the camera angle behind me function. There are plenty of times I find it really inconvenient to have to move the camera manually. I could dig on more keyboard assign-ability as well. I think it's silly to not have more hotkeys to do what I want them to. But really, just a behind the character camera angle would GREAT!

mouse To Click = Win
Wasd = Fail

I Say We Get An Addon That We Use Our Minds To Control Our Toons With Then We'd Do Away With Both Of These Old Skool Ways.. Thx

Here Here!

I like it how it is its not hard to use anyone with a normal or larger brain can use it its not rocket science people mouse movement is great in fact and the hole wasd movement is to weird to use in an rpg like this imo though it is usable too just not as touch sensitive and as interactive as the mouse it.

I wish I could cancel attacks at any moment, the mage takes forever to cast and I grumble to myself, "nooooo, I ddin't want to attack that, please, please, please break off this attack, heck its behind me not even infront of me."

Try pressing the esc button, that will stop the casting.

A way of solving the "bored of holding down W to go everywhere" could possibly be solved with an "auto run" feature, like seen in WoW. I would certainly like to see that implemented.

As for flying, if you click the sky, you will fly in that direction untill you hit something, turn or otherwise have your character do something else...

i just picked up this game at the suggestion of a friend and i find that i cannot look around comfortably without an inverted Y axis. please add the option. i'm currently looking into finding a third party software that can invert the controls for me, unfortunately the only one i found that is semi-suitable completely inverts my y axis mouse controls entirely, even for pointing. please fix this. it's just plain annoying and i cannot enjoy your product without it. thanks.

'Move to click' is completely unusable. Please add a dynamic 'follow the mouse' system. i.e. When you hold down both mouse buttons the character moves in the direction you move the mouse.

An option for having the view change with direction is critical as well.

Lastly, there needs to be an option to invert the mouse's y-axis for people like me who simply can't learn to do it backwards.

This looks like a wonderful game! Sadly, as it is, the movement interface is to clunky for me to use so I'll say farewell. Too bad. This game looked like it would be fun.

'i.e. When you hold down both mouse buttons the character moves in the direction you move the mouse.'

just press W to move forward and click the right mouse button to do this.

I would just like to disable click to move, is there anyway to do this? I could not find it in the game options anywhere let alone keybind, I must be missing something...

I had problems with the controls at first.... but obviously at my lvl.. I've adapted and have zero problems and STILL enjoy the game.The only thing i Might like is the camera follow behind me so i can turn in any direction and my camera not hit a wall XD but other than that.. no problems...
