Pls give us choice to play WASD on keyboard

Not all maps were randomized in the early part of Diablo 2. I remember being able to run bots that would farm Pindleskin and Mephisto because the maps were always the same and you could easily navigate the bots to those boss locations.

Pindle want random. And yeah durance level 3 was always the same but those are boss levels the levels leading to them were. Most not all but most boss levels stayed the same.

I tried looking for a WASD option about 30 minutes into playing, and was sad it wasn’t an option :disappointed: much agreed, it is a request!

Diablo Immortal has WASD support. Also tons of isometric games use WASD. There’s no justifiable reason to not add it to D4. More accessibility options only improve a game.

You’re wrong on this. There’s already two inputs in Diablo 4, mouse and keyboard, plus controller. D2R and D3 also have both options. Then Diablo Immortal has WASD support as well. Plus nearly all modern competitive PC games allow M&K and controller. Diablo is mainly a PvE game, so needing to balance player inputs isn’t of any real importance. Especially considering controller can auto aim right now, similar to in D2R and D3. So if you should be worried about any input (you shouldn’t…), it’d be controller. There’s absolutely no reason to gatekeep the settings menu. Many isometric games use WASD movement, so it’s really only fair to add it to D4. Your classic click to move would still be the default option, it’s a win win for everyone.

It’s clear you’ve never played a WASD based game. So it makes no sense that you’d be so against something you don’t even understand. Most PC games use WASD as the movement scheme. All of which require you to click other keys while playing as well. The typical FPS game utilizes 1,2,3,4,G,R,E,Q,F,Shift,Ctrl,Alt,Space,Z,X,C,V (everything after Shift doesn’t even require you to stop pressing WASD). Any person that’s played a WASD based game knows how intuitive it is to press other keys while moving. It’s simple muscle memory. And more options is a good thing for a game. Especially here with D4, as controller movement already exists. Thus adding WASD support would be easy to implement. I fully respect click to move, but you’re being selfish and ignorant over a simple accessibility option.

Give us the WASD choice please.

So by using your logic, old games shouldn’t support 4k resolution, ultra-wide, DLSS, ray tracing and other newer technologies just because “it was made this way”.
“Diablo is a clicker” and who are you to say that? Will having wasd as an OPTION hurt you in any way?
Are you scared that you’d like it and swallow your own words?
You’re going against yourself for having RSI and refusing to have more accessibility options.
How about you play the game you want and let others play the way they want? No one’s forcing you to use wasd.

The lack of WASD is one of the few things that is kind of ruining the game for me.

Totally agree with you.
Adding WSAD will also make control more smoothly and melee characters will benefit the most from it.

WASD should be top priority right now

Implicit in this comment is the admission that WASD could potentially be superior. I personally think more options is better.
