WASD movement - you guys dropped the ball on this one

[seth2k6]

You guys had a good opportunity to ride the wave with the Diablo4 hype from the beta but managed to completely screw it up by forcing WASD movement (and even made it unable to rebind these keys in the control/keyboard menu...srsly??).
Should try to "reinvent" less next time and just stick to the basics (i.e. click2move works great on an isometric game, wasd just feels clunky)

WASD is fine what are you even on about

[Nemoriel]

Disagree, had no problems using WASD and it fit the game.

[Stakkerable]

WASD movement is perfect for this type of game. The possibility to SIMULTANEOUSLY move into one direction and shoot your skills into another is a gem. It would be great if Diablo had the same movement

[OGC GroZdarKiPiK]

Same feeling, moving with WASD just allows more possibilities. As a Battlerite fan, it feels great to me.

WASD works great for this game. Adapt or refund.

No. Even Diablo is so much better with controller. Point and click is horrible. You can't use your skills just clicking to attack. Take look to v rising, hades... they 2 hava amazing gameplay because of wasd moviment, not this click old think.

WASD for movement is far better than click-to move, you have no idea

Honestly if you think that give darksburg a try. you'll see very quickly wads works better.

That being said I wish there was an option to use my mouse as a target location for skills and even being able to set which skill use those mouse versus char direction would be nice.

aladdins thrown blade and dodge ability would benefit from being able to move your mouse in the direction you want and cast those skills in that direction. I believe hades has a similar system where it was zags direction or based on mouse position.

I usually prefer WASD movement for games that require a lot of fast dogding and dashing. That is the case with Ravenswatch too. For example, I believe I would have had trouble moving the Pied Piper by clicking while holding down a button to use the Flute.

Directional movement on keys is a preference, but not allowing rebinding means this game is a no go for most left handed players or others with the need to move frequently used keys to the right side of the keyboard. Lack of key rebinding makes this a refund for a lot of players.

D4 is dead on arrival

WASD movement is perfect for this game.

[Anxodia]
