GGG need to add WASD to PoE1 as soon as possible
I have spent a considerable amount of time in the PoE2 global chat over the past 4-6 months and the biggest reason why new players coming from PoE2 to PoE1 do not stick with the game is them being used to WASD. The second biggest complaint was the graphics, which they can get over.
But I highly recommend adding WASD as soon as possible. It will keep them hooked on both games and they will be much more likely to purchase stash tabs and MTX on PoE1. I personally saw ZERO REASON to ever buy MTX on PoE2. The base designs for armor all look incredible. No one cares about standard. It's literally a recycle bin, just press empty.

so long as they don't fuck up keyboard and mouse, as it is in PoE2 it feels shit because they focused on controller support/wasd and it still has issues with auto targeting the wrong thing

Flask Piano + WASD movement does not match

I actually hope they never do (but assume they will)
I GREATLY prefer the flask system as is in POE1 and as POE2 has shown it is incompatible with WASD And if they add WASD they will be tempted to add dodge. And the dodge mechanic is awful compared to all the movement skills that POE1 has. I think they have already said they will add it once the rigs are updated but I hope they reconsider. |
