As per topic, wasd would make life easier to those not used to this kind of bindings. I feel personally really unconfortable but I dont want to use joypads. Thanks

I’ve heard this feedback in other (non-Blizzard) forums. This would be a great add to the game.
Bump, here!

Have any of the Diablos had it?
As much as my RSI will hate me for saying this… Diablo is a clicker, don’t change it.

I use W binded to Force Move and to Move and it works without having to click to move

Diablo has always been click to move and there should never be an option for anything else. In a game that will have PVP, there should only be one set of input options (necessary accessibility options notwithstanding) to ensure a level playing field.
lol what a dumb comment

Quality response, man. Can’t wait to see what else your dazzling intellect produces.
Seriously. If it gives them an advantage and you want to be better at pvp…use it too? Not hard really. Im all for more options and customization.

sry…but when someone says gibberish I’m responsible for educating that person?
I aint your teacher.
But here you go… More options in a game like this IS NOT A BAD THING. You don’t want to use it, then don’t! OMG WOW THAT WAS EASY.
If you want to play using only your toes, go for it. If someone finds a way to use an eye tracker in this game, more power to them.
People like you are why we get dumbed down controls schemes in modern games.

More options is definitely a bad thing in video games (to an extent).
More options is more bugs, more exploits and harder balance options.
If you want WSAD-like movement, pick up a controller or find a new ARPG.

It’s also the style of Diablo play. It’s designed to use your abilities and move at the same time, hence mouse movement/keyboard skills.
Try using WSAD + 1234 at the same time.

bruh has never played a single mmo in his life LOL
also, I can’t believe that I can put forth a better argument IN YOUR DEFENSE than you can…
The best thing you could have said is that wasd is too limited in it’s control scheme. It only allows 8 directions of movement and an argument COULD BE MADE that this detracts from the smoothness of gameplay.
The biggest problem facing you, is that they ALREADY allow a form of wasd (via controllers) that you even point out.
WASD takes nothing away from you and only gives you more possibilities. I’m sorry you are one of those people that believe “if it doesn’t benefit you PERSONALLY then others shouldn’t have it”.
Dishonor on you. Dishonor on your family. Dishonor on your gf.

They said they were going to work on it and see if they can do it. I hope they do. WASD for aRPG would be great. There’s really no reason to just keep it point and click anymore.
What? It’s easy. Have you never played an MMO before? Other games use this, too. lol

I think people can easily create a bot if wasd is implemented. hehehe
People can create bots with point and click as well. That is why Diablo switched to randomized maps. That being said there is no reason for Diablo to change and add WASD. While change can be good it takes up resources. And based on experience Diablo already lacks the resources to fix important issues and can’t really afford to dedicate resources to things asked for by people that haven’t been playing Diablo for decades.

+1 for WASD movement. The click to move feels awful. They really need to add WASD. Apparently their PC port of the mobile Diablo had it.

MMO is completely different pace of play for the most part.
I can assure you I’ve played MMOs since before you were itching in your dads jeans.
I had no issue using WSAD for them, but in the case of WoW, what sort of degenerate uses W over mouse buttons?
W+A+2? Doable, not the most comfortable position.
After thousands of hours of Diablo it would be a much different game if I had to bash 2 at the same time as worrying about evading damage.
Again, not impossible, just not ideal.

I wouldn’t care about adding WSAD to the game, but then it would feel like a generic MMO and less like Diablo.
Put your skills on WSAD. You don’t have to click to move, just hold down the LMB. Hold shift when you fight to stop and attack.
I really like the space bar dodge for incoming attacks. Nice feature.
You’ll find mouse movement very smooth in a few hours and the WSAD skill buttons will make your hands still feel right on the keyboard.
Without free look with mouse, keyboard turning in a 2D game is silly. There’s no strafe. If you use A and D to turn in other games you are definitely doing it wrong. Way too slow.
so…you want to change one of the core abilities of diablo…that people have loved for GENERATIONS and is part of what makes Diablo, diablo…dude.

For those asking if Any Diablo game has WASD for movement the answer is YES
Diablo Immortal uses WASD for movement on PC.
So its not something they don’t know how to do in the game. I prefer the WASD movement more than clicking the mouse.
However, that is likely 1 of very few features that will likely separate D4 and D:I. Otherwise, they would basically be the same games.

Even my gramps can do it on a typewriter… so I don’t see the problem… litteraly any looter-shooter, MMOs, survival game and so on… use those controls, actrually most games that respect themselves use them nowadays… ur hard pressed to play a game that doesnt (even strategy games will use WASD to move the camera. and 1-2-3-4 to use certain things).
Also Diablo IMMORTAL (as bad as it is, its still a Diablo GAME) has WASD. Probably because that games makes them way more money then this ever will, so providing as many options as possible is the smart thing to do.
Again, nobody said CHANGE click to wasd that, they are saying ADD this => It’s called an accesability option by civilized people…
AND they dont actually need to do much… the game already has WASD in game, they just need to enable it for Keyboard → since controller uses the same MOVEMENT that people are asking on Keyboard.
