Lack of UI options

[u13erfitz]

Is there a reason I can't set the right click to running forward. This has instantly turned me off the game. I just quit the tutorial. Am I missing an option. I am very used to right click forward and side buttons for strafe?

ok, not to judge..

but why not use Q and E for strafe, A and D for turning?

also, you can set "Auto Run" to a button of your choice, i myself use middle click

If you have it set to the mouse you can strafe as backing up. It eliminates the need for a back key. You can also rotate faster depending on your dpi. Auto run is different as you keep running. I am looking for the ability to point run and strafe on my mouse. I could reprogram my mouse but that seems like something that should be a ui feature. Also you control forward movement and camera with one button. It just seems so weird I can’t rebind to go it all.

not sure if you know, but if you hold R+LMB, it's forward. Not sure if that helps you.

Thats helpful. I’ll have to try that. Is it auto run? Or just forward?

[Holliday]

just forward, like WoW if you've played that.

Is this a troll? Are you actually suggesting to have keyboard turning bound?

I think people don’t get the concept of making an arc while moving. Shooter movement is different than mmo movement.

yes, i am suggesting this, considering this is the way ive been playing FF14 for years, and its worked fine for me. Why would it be a troll?

I'm stunned. Not only is it objectively slower than using your mouse to turn your camera, it also takes up two extremely useful keys very close to your fingers which could be bound to abilities.

i do mostly use right click to turn, and my hotbar is controlled using my mouse, which has 12 side buttons which ive bound to 1 -> =

its not that in FF14 i bound them to A and D myself, they came that way, and i got used to playing like it.

But yea, i use left click for turning the camera, right click for turning my character, and in FF14 its something that does need to be done, depending on the boss/dungeon, they have mechanics where you need to turn your character away from the boss.
