PLEASE fix WASD... only-evade should follow movement direction!

Feedback and Suggestions
1

The Last Epoch keyboard/button movement modes are interesting for controller, but on PC WASD, the only movement mode that makes sense is the one Last Epoch does not have…

Please add…

“only evade - follows movement”

This will cause evade (spacebar) to follow WASD movement direction, while everything else follows the mouse.

Currently Long Range skills follow the mouse, but short range traversal (Rogue Shift, for example), has to follow the same thing evade follows, which is not usable (for many of us)

This is because we dont have enough fingers to hold WASD direction and press an action button, other than spacebar… this is is why virtually EVERY OTHER pc WASD game uses only-evade follows WASD direction as the only option… certainly POE2, VRising, and I think Hades all use evade only follows WASD.

For short range traversal skills, we get to choose:

“Short Range - Follows movement” - evade AND short range abilities follow WASD
“All - Follows Cursor” - evade AND short range abilities follow WASD

What we want is:

“Evade Only - Follows Movement” - Evade follows WASD, everyhthing else follows cursor

Maybe I don’t understand what you’re saying, but for me evade follows the direction I’m going with WASD and all other traversal skill follow what I’m pointing at with my mouse.

There’s only over a dozen threads about this in 2 weeks.
You would do better to interact with one of those than making a new one.

Having a thread with lots of votes and interaction will get the attention of the devs more than a dozen threads with a couple votes and comments.

This is the first I’ve seen of this specific wasd issue. It might be a problem with a specific traversal skill or something, because I certainly don’t have this problem.

This is just one where the OP actually answered last and even edited his response recently:

There are dozens, with several similar suggestions.

Ah ok, so it’s specific short range traversal abilities. Would’ve made the thread a lot clearer if he specified that. I have no issues with Flame Rush for example.

This is true for “long range” traversal skills, but “Short range” traversal skills it’s not true.

For short range traversal skills, we get to choose:

“Short Range - Follows movement” - evade AND short range abilities follow WASD
“All - Follows Cursor” - evade AND short range abilities follow WASD

What we want is:

“Evade Only - Follows Movement” - Evade follows WASD, Everything else follows cursor
