Are you using strafing in 1.0.7 ?

Zas_ · 07-21-2009, 12:04 PM

Yesterday evening, after 1.0.7 update, Syrtis was camping (as usual) Samal, many ignis were around too.

But i didn't see a lot of people using strafing during the whole battle.

I just wonder if it is because people are not yet used to, or because they just don't need it.

Nope...

ZQSD is messed by hardcoded keybinds (X/C especially) so i have to keep A and E for autorun and walk.

Yes, hardcoded keybinds was reported before the update, they didn't fully fixed it.

I see no reason to use strafing on my knight.

I voted yes sometimes. I use it to change direction, as it is quite new, ennemies (especially warrior) have some difficulties to follow me around with some strafing tricks ^^.

I will try to train myself to use it a bit more (especially since you can run in circle straf direction + turn opposite direction).

My key binding on AZERTY keyboard:
A Z E (straf left, move toward, straf right)
Q S D (turn left, move backward, turn right)

What is bugging me more is camera movement (and instant rotation).

And I might have already said it, but changing interactions like that is stupid and shows a lack of understanding of any developement guideline. Interactions behaviour or modification has to be defined by the user, and change with user agreement otherwise it's a FAIL.

I've tried it but can't get used to it. I also can't see any practical use for it atm.

Maybe there are future plans to make it more useful.

I love it...use it in every battle I fight

RO is not a FPS, we dont have machine guns, therefore we do not need strafing.

Ive used strafe a bit in combat, havent seen any advantage but it looks a little less daft than the old dancing, mostly just used it for lol's though, eg S+D(A)+F

EDIT: Boom 1k spams! I mean posts! Well, both
