WASD in Path of Exile 1

Excellent video, WASD should happen much quicker than GGG's current timeline

So sick of seeing this brought up. Explain how wasd will work with flasks and your skills? Yeah that'll feel great-_- You dont need it.

First thing i do on every character is automating flasks asap in endgame.
Before that i don't use them anyway because i don't like flask piano with click to move either.
Also, again, it is not about replacing click to move. Nobody wants to take anything away from the current system.
Some builds will play better with WASD, some will play better with click to move, that is the beauty of PoEs build diversity and player choice :)

Wasd is a good middle ground but if you use your keyboard for hotkeys tight situations in hc dont seem great if you're trying to move with wd and hit e r t f at the same time. I think if we had controller + keyboard mouse seamless transition that would be the best of both worlds.

I agree, but adding WASD for the ones who prefer it doesnt hurt either.
Seamless transition is on their to do list for PoE2 at least :)

The game as it is currently balanced would be LAUGHABLY easy if we had PoE2-style movement,

Not sure about "laughably easy" but i agree that current PoE1 is not balanced around the PoE2 movement. That's why I and others propose WASD input without PoE2 movements, which would not rely on new rigs for implementation. :)

I'd sell my kidney, soul and hamster to get WASD just for movement. I don't care about casting or attacking while moving

This post clarifies exactly what I want, PoE1 already has a lot of mouse clicking and its literally the only game that gives me RSI in the right hand (this is my main reason to stop playing almost every league :/), played PoE 2 on WASD with the same intensity and no issues for weeks

they explained it a thousand times, it requires massive 3D work with rigs or whatever the appropriate name is. wont happen soon.

No they don't. Thats the whole point of the Thread if you had cared to read for a second :)

indeed

+1 for this version of WASD in PoE1
