I keep trying to like the game just horrible controls.

[BiGDaDdY]

This game has very possible the worst controls I have ever seen I keep trying to play it for the great story but the controls and the camera angles are just game breaking for me.

[quiIl]

Can you describe what specifically about the controls and camera angles is so bad?

[Mdgoat]

its an mmo, what angles were you expecting? For me, this is the best mmo and I prefer it over World of Warcraft.

Is there a way to have "free" camera enabled with out constantly pressing right mouse button?

[Thorley23]

Sounds trollish to me because it's a pretty typical WASD MMORPG with tab targeting and abilities tied to the number bar. If your having trouble with this, then I can't see you not having had trouble with most MMOS over the last 15 years or so.

Sure there ARE Some MMOs that broke this mould (Neverwinter, ESO, etc...) but this is pretty much typical for the genre.

Camera Angles? I mean seriously. This is your basic third person game.

The crap people can come up with just to complain never ceases to amaze me.

[Thander]

I do think the controls could be better. WoW controls are just a bit tighter, especially the camera seems like more 1:1 movement while SWTOR feels like there is some kind of mouse acceleration going on when I turn the camera. You get used to it after a while though, but it might be more troublesome in PVP. Good thing I don't care about PVP.

Get use to it. Players have been... "discussing" it on official forum since its release, year after year.

I'm afraid so. Well, at least if you want to run and look in other -different- directions at the same time. If not, you have the "tank movement" bounded to wasd keys with the camera moving left and right when you move in those directions.

Yep, that sucks, but you can get used to it.
BDO for exemple let you choice between free camera or this mode.

i mean i play some games with similar controls, fable and kotor for example, but yeah that just caught me off guard, those control schemes are from the early 2000s.

not a deal breaker or anything.

Facing matters. You can't send abilities to your back. Sometimes you also need to watch something while you are kiting.

So... being able to look, run, and attack at three different directions is a skill you'll learn and master as you get more experienced in more difficult contents.

It's every bit as horrible as it sounds, yes.

Same, instead of playing the game. I keep fighting with ♥♥♥♥ controls.

Hold right and left mouse together to move. Way more fluid than keyboard movement. Keyboard movement in every mmo is awkward as hell.

[ZelXopi]

Left click to look wherever you want without changing your toon's direction. Right click, your toon will follow the direction. Also you have left/right step that just make your toon go right or left without the camera moving and there is turn left/right and the camera follow your toon movement.
You can also move with the camera following by holding right and left click on the mouse.

Last time I saw someone with your issue it's was only really because he didn't know step/turn weren't the same.

Also you can change the control as you wish in the setting.

I don't see how these control could be that horrible, it's the same in many mmo

You'll get use to it once you master it
