No more aiming attacks with mouse?!

[共匪]

Was the combat system canged? I can no longer aim my attacks with my mouse, intead only with WASD.

that's a game-killer. sure it's not a setting?

Nah I checked an controller style movement is off.
They just changed the core combat in a years old game for no reason...

I didn't change any settings. Imma look into the options. You can sort of work around it by repositioning and only attacking head on, but its really clunky and when fighting multiple opponents, you just swing at the air.

they said in a live stream that this is the new combat system to be streamlined with console controlls.

Sure I can get used to it, or switch to aiming with conroller style movement on, like most PvPers do....but why change the combat system, just out of the blue?
The mouse aiming at least worked perfectly fine before and nobody complained about it.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Ok, imma give this update a few months to ripen. Gonna play something else...

The combat just feels more clunky than before, I don't get the logic behind that change.

Uh, no. They didn't.

As for the topic, as far as I understand it, this is an unintended bug. A Funcom dev said they were looking into it internally on their forums. Unless they come back and say otherwise, assume its a bug.

I don't use a controller and I won't. I don't even own one, not buying one. I quit Conan Exiles if this remains unchanged.

Did some digging.

They enabled "controller style movement" under "ESC/Settings/Gameplay"

turn it off, and it looks like it reverts back to the mouse aiming

tested it and its back to the old way. SOOOOOO much better

No even with controller style movement off, you have to hold W to aim, with you mouse, You can't change direction without holding W, before you could stand still rotate your mouse, and aim that way, that is no longer possible. It feels horrible when fighting groups of enemies.
