Who tested Attack/Traverse movement for this game?

[Tangorodrim]

Whoever tested the movement for this game, both attack and regular, and said this was okay, should be immediately fired and kneecapped for incompetency.
Every attack is a lunge attack. Instead of making a step to attack, my character teleports several meters, regardless of weapon I'm using.
This needs to be fixed/reworked ASAP !!!
Also, whoever's idea was to map running to separate key, instead of holding spacebar, should suffer the fate of aforementioned imbecile.

Change your stance.

My greatsword is a lunge one handed. Two handed, it's a swing.

I was with you until you started talking about keyboard controls. This is the same combat that exists in Dark Souls 1-3. Buy a controller ffs

So, your brilliant idea is to use the peripheral I'm not comfortable with...
Have a controller, btw. Never liked playing on it, and played through DS 1, 2 and 3, as well as Elden Ring on key+mouse.
And no, the "lunging" does not happen in any of FromSoft's games.

This. I strongly recommend the 8BitDo Ultimate Wireless.

Avoid the XBox Elite controllers at all costs. They feel like a tank, but break more easily than candy glass.

My brilliant idea is to use a peripheral the game was meant to be played with. These were not developed for PC. Demons' Souls came out on PS3 my dude. And the original LotF came out on Xbox. The KB/M option is there but not recommended nor used by most people.

Lunging most definitely exists in FromSoft games. Maybe not to this extent. But this is also not a FromSoft game...

nice, elden ring especially was AWFUL with how much you needed to sprint around in combat, so it's fantastic to hear attacks in this game actually close distance

hallelujah. finally we lose the weird remnants of console port and take advantage of the fact the keyboard has more than a dozen buttons!!

ngl, both of these 'complaints' made me more excited to play once the performance issues get ironed out

and to people saying "just use a controller" - no. this game is on PC, the PC controls need to be good. I'm not playing a game that has a controllable camera with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ controller lol

EZ GAME EZ LYFE amirite? Yeah man those dudes who do DDR dance pad no-hit runs sure are frauds. Tell me how KB/M makes any souls-like easier? This isn't an FPS. You're not flicking wrists to get headshots in this game. If you really think using a controller makes these games difficult you've never played one.

[موتسومي]

huh, I actually use tools to map sprint button to separate key in Elden ring tho, since it is more flexible to control my char. And, I do flick my camera in the game tbh, just for fighting some fast and huge enemies, because I usually don't lock my cam on these kind. I use my FPS technique as an advantage. Customized game control do help some ppl a lot and makes game easier, this is how. But still, my elden ring was modified by UX tool from modders, I might still use controller if no one willing to improve UX in the game. I get used to things fast anyway.

Lotf? I wish someone do the same thing too.

Yeah you are right, the combat is different, in a bad way. Even in comparison to the original title. The first games combat was comparable to a souls game as far as the weight and feel of the weapon, this game suffers pretty badly from a lack of that, not to mention all the other issues that were easily avoided but somehow not addressed. Maybe CI didn't know when it was going to be released.
