WASD-movement in 1.2?

[Kraxiloth]

I seem to recall that there would be an experimental implementation of WASD-movement in patch 1.2. Did I imagine that or am I in for a world of fun and QoL?

Keyboard Movement - Experimental

Season 2 introduces a new experimental version of keyboard-based movement (aka WASD) controls to Last Epoch. Players can change their movement binds through the ‘Controls’ section in the settings menu.

• You can enable Keyboard Movement in the Gameplay tab in Settings.
• Keyboard movement has a different set of default hotkeys.
• Keyboard movement control mapping is independent of Point and Click movement. This means changes to one set of controls won’t affect the other.
• You can adjust how movement skills behave with keyboard movement, such as specifying that all movement skills follow your cursor instead of your character’s direction.
• Channeled abilities that force continuous movement (e.g. Warpath) will move towards the cursor if a WASD direction is not held. This ensures mechanical parity between input modes (i.e. movement conditional buffs such as “while standing still” benefit each input mode equally).
