Look guys, just go into your controls, find the Force Movement key, bind it to W, and profit. Now you you’re using 1 key instead of 4.

That’s not the same as an accessibility feature of wasd movement.

i mean if you like that thats cool but thats much less degrees of freedom. your only diagonal is 45 degrees?
more buttons for less freedom. seems like all negatives. but i guess its a “feel” type of thing.
i normally prefer wasd actually but only if i can rotate the camera to control angles. like in wow if you will.

WASD movement isn’t needed. I vastly prefer the force movement. Give it a try. Been using it for a decade of D3.

Then go elsewhere, this is about development accessibility features of wasd movement which is a standard across the board.
Force move isn’t the same as an accessibility feature.
I’ll never understand why people are so against something that’s beneficial to those who have issues with their hands.

Needing to press 1 key is a hell of a lot more accessible than needing to press 4 keys.
No it isn’t you’re spreading out the pressure with multiple keys instead of it on one.

So change the finger you’re pressing W with. And get a keyboard that doesn’t require you to mash the key.

Yea really good idea there, you should be in charge of their accessibility features.
Since this game has controller support. Might be a third party option to use wasd.
It’s money first which, to be fair is what companies need to operate.

tl;dw: It won’t be there at launch, but it’s something that they will “continue to look into”. Perhaps the feedback will nudge them to “look into” it a bit quicker.

Doesn’t matter. It’s an MMO and should be opening up the options for more players to play, by doing this it’s basically like shooting themselves in the foot and saying “We dont want you here”. Which is not what we should be encouraging

But you do have a phone though right?
Joking, but them understanding their player base is not something I’d take hope in.

Its money on the table. I know between thirty and forty people who just wont even try the game, due to it not having W,A,S,D. They’re are waaaay more people who won’t play then there are who will with this issue. So while the niche community might be fine with it, in terms of money and money making… this is a bad move to not incoperate it.
We both know thats the only thing they care about, fun and everything else aside it will make them more money and is a simplistic addition which is like maybe two or less lines of code away. Basically. (Diablo immortal had it, this has either parts of or is the exact engine they used for that port to PC. So its not an issue of can it be done.)

+1 for WASD movement.
I would like to play sorcerer with kmb but want to play with wasd controls.
I’m going with rogue for my first character and will be using a dualsense controller. Controller support is really good so I’m very confused as to why WASD movement hasn’t been included at launch.

No, we do not need WASD. Its never ɓeen in a Diablo game before. It has no place in ARPGs. You want WASD? Go play wow or an FPS.
