WASD movement RSI concerns & Move-Only mouse button request
First of all, I would like to congratulate the entire GGG team for their massive efforts to create such a great looking game that we get to play now!
While I've found WASD movement highly enjoyable to play, I did experience mild RSI after a couple hours of playing - which never happened before with PoE1. Therefore, I kindly request that the "Move Only" command to be added to the WASD system as well, so we could bind it to left or right-click (just like with old system) and use it while moving around, as a "lazier" way of traveling long distances and moving around in towns and engaging with NPCs, without the need of using WASD all the time, and strictly using WASD during combat. I think this would offer "the best of both worlds" to players who find using WASD exhausting all the time. In my opinion this would be a huge QoL change that requires very little modifications and would not normally impact players who don't feel the need to use "move only" with the mouse while using WASD mode. Thanks! ขุดครั้งสุดท้าย เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2025 18:07:18

" Good suggestion - also having bit pain in my old fingers at some point |

Agree.. my play sessions are being limited exactly due to the pain in my wrists.

I have a control-scheme dream, something I've wanted to exist in every ARPG I've ever played, and which I've never seen. I'd love to be able to turn on CAPS LOCK and just have my character move toward the mouse until I turn CAPS LOCK off. Useless for combat, but for just walking through the world it would be so nice.
Also, adding a move-only mouse button option would be a godsend. The thing that's preventing me from using WASD is that I have decades of ARPG muscle-memory that I've been unable to overcome, which causes me to click to move reflexively; with WASD on, this reflex kept getting me killed (I did try it, and I just can't). A move-only mouse option might just motivate me to try WASD again. Stay sane, exiles!

I was expecting them to care more about this, since it's a straightforward change with no negative impact, which would allow more players to enjoy the WASD style - which I really love but it gets exhausting at some point.

Sheesh! I wish I could adjust to using the wasd. It is nearly impossible for me, coming off of D2LOD for years on the mouse. Such a big advantage to using it. Im a stuck mouse player =(
