Please implement WASD !!!

NGL I Love POE2 mainly due to the movement dodge sprint etc, I totally get not changing and/or adding core aspects to POE1 to maintain identity, balance, and the complexity its built upon... BUT PLEASE PLEASE bring WASD movement to this game aside from graphics it will help keep this game feeling modern.

After playing with WASD in POE2 I can't go back to click to move, its so archaic, and many of my friends who have switch to POE2 agree and have simply refused to try out the new league of POE1 because of this.

GGG said they implement WASD to PoE 1 after all promised MTX gets implemented from PoE 1 to PoE 2.

i asked a web Ai how long it will take GGG to do this regarding their 'graduatly' announced working pace on that topic and taken into account of already transfered MTX since official statement,

the web ai calculation was 7.2 years. so hang on. we will get there

Why? mouse is superior in precision and execution and allows the left hand to be totally free for all the buttons to use skills and/or flasks

Edit: Both WASD and click to move are archaic coming from the early 90's more or less so I don't really understand your argument, a ton of great modern games use click to move system on their game, it has nothing to do with which is better/newer though, it's all about which one fits the game best, and the best fit for most top-down games happens to be mouse click. For other top-down viewpoint games like roguelites then WASD is what is generally used.

Apologies I do use an MMO mouse so theres significantly less buttons for my left hand. either way decoupling movement from attack is superior for dodging and mechanics ive found

enter controller mode . Use chatgpt to write you a script to use the keybinds of the controller on they keyboard + mouse.

Now you have WASD and the system you are looking for.

Dont waste your time waiting them to implement it as they are lazy to do this.

You probably did not include the number of employees and how the work is distributed, which is why it answer will be based on one person's work.


You should also note that all the other acts in POE2 and characters are ready to be deployed, it is just they are tuning them based on what they see in the early access experience in POE2.

Also there is no company in the world that would drop all of their future updates at once they always keep something ahead of time so they have the time to develop something new . If they drop everything now and the players have had their fun and they have no new league or anything prepared, trust all players will move to another game.

They have a tactic where they prepare a league or event and drop some of their ready updates into the game.
