General Discussion - Path of Exile 2 is getting WASD support for moving your character - Forum

https://twitter.com/Zizaran/status/1730303992037515637/photo/1 You can use your keyboard to control character movement instead of only mouse clicks. So you can finally strafe & attack and retreat & attack without going nuts with the mouse!

Poe2 looks more like a clone of Van Helsing than poe1, judging by the mercenary release trailer. I understand they want people to have more than one skill, but this just looks clunky at best. Ah well, let's just hope they don't destroy poe1 so I can still play that for free. Vote +1 to change Path of Exile to Path of Nerfs. We hate to say, but ProjectPT was right.

I mean, if ggg is so shortsighted they ruin their own playable game in favour of a more boring game, then others will gladly jump into that massive amount of money they leave behind.

Thank God for the movement change. Click move is brutal for the kind of control you need to actually jump your monkey around to dodge things like the searing exarch fire maze. I play toward the minion end of the twitch ability spectrum for this reason.	Posted by emu314159#4078 on Oct 4, 2024, 8:27:53 AM Quote this Post
Thank God for actualy evolving away from a ~24 year old game's movement input system (D2?). Click-to-move is literally that old or older at this point. WASD movement is revolutionizing the ARPG genre in a GREAT way and who better to do it than GGG. I'm so fucking happy for this! Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! 15th November can't come soon enough!

I much prefer mouse click movement combined with a stop command. Far more accurate. Why they wouldn't do that is disappointing to me. Since the gameplay appears to be inherently slower, I can see no real benefit over regular mouse controls aside from less clicking; you can already kite Hillock stupidly easy, this would be no different, except now your character keeps moving instead of stopping to attack. I'm pretty sure you can use either of the two options unless they've changed it again. Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
