can i bind WASD movement?

[Draktok]

instead of mouse clicking?

Before anyone says "HoW WoUlD u MoVE aNd USe ABiLitIEs" - literally every mmo, hero shooter and games like battlerite have proven they work just fine lol

[DaTank]

No, and none of those games plays like this game so it doesn't make any sense to compare the two.

It does, because it proves you can have a game that allows WASD movement in a top down environment.

How could you possibly get keys to replace pixel clicking relative to screen position of a sprite?

You keep clicking pixels with the mouse to use abilities, but you don't need to click pixels to move, what? The game has controller support. Moving with WASD would literally change nothing about the games control scheme. Please go play battlerite and then come back and tell me why that wouldn't work in poe.

This game literally has controller support on consoles? how is a thumb stick different than WASD. And battlerite is the same view and type of game in the sense of top down skills go off where you click type thing, and uses WASD just fine.

i'm really surprised they never brought controller support to PC.

Does anyone do that, though?

You can set "force move" to the action bar, then rebind that key to whatever you want. Now you can move with the keyboard. I have mine set to D so I don't have to click all day long, now I can just hold D down. I know it's not like WASD but it still helps a lot

Very clever, actually. But, not what OP wants.

As already stated:

So how are YOU, OP, going to get multiple keys to move your character directionally?

Are you aware than buttons on different controllers are registered as different bits of information than key presses?

Are you aware that not all developers implement use of the mouse, keyboard, AND other peripheral simulataneously?

To add this functionality WOULD literally change the control scheme, and it costs a non-zero amount of man-hours to achieve. Something already achieved on other platforms

There is hope tho. Perhaps download some software that turns gamepad presses into key strokes. Maybe this software allows you to create macros where you click on specific areas of the screen. Maybe such macros could be bound the analog axis on a gamepad.

You are welcome.

You already have that. It is called steam. You can configure a gamepad to whatever you want. It still wouldn't work for this game without movement keys support though. it is a mess to try.

And to OP. The game on PC is completely balanced for click move and not wasd or controllers. It is a conscious decision by the devs to not have it. The console versions are balanced differently and play differently. They are not the same. So no matter how much people want it or ask for it, it ain't happening.

Let me put it this way, OP, Proxima Centauri will go Supernova before GGG ever adds WASD support to this game.
IT was not designed that way.

Anyone who claims it would be easy clearly has no understanding of what is needed to do to make the game work.

Diablo 1, and Diablo 2 were the same way. There is no WASD support for those games. Even after all these years. No one can even ask for it, because of how silly the idea is.

While I agree that the mouse movement works great I can also see how some might find it easier to kite if the tools for movement and targeting are separated. I guess it's the main motivation behind the post.
