Since i have been playing WoW, Counterstrike, Mass Effect, blah blah blah, which ALL of them use WASD movement, i really cant understand why WASD movement is so... awkward in this game.
You need a 3rd hand for shortcuts you say? I'll give you an example on how my keyboard was made specifically for WoW PvP.
1-6(thats how far my index finger can go without me stretching too far)
Ctrl +1-6
Alt + 1-6
Shift +1-6
Q, E, R, F, G, Z, X, C
Shift + Q, E, R, F, G, Z, X, C.
2 extra buttons on my mouse, combine them with Shift Ctrl and Alt.
That's 40 shortcuts. Most of them done together with WASD movement.
I just find the fact that improper WASD movement in this game is a dealbreaker for me. Took me 3 hours to download the **** thing, and 10 minutes to get sick of playing it. Waste of Bandwidth....
This isn't WoW, Counterstrike, Mass Effect or blah blah blah.
Lineage 2 has always been this way and it's part of the reason why we play this game. Don't expect it to change simply because you're used to other game controls.
OP should definitaly check the "enter chat" option if he's soooo into shortcuts. and its a point and click game, not much to do about that. heck, Straffing in this game and running backwards would look awfully silly.
L2 server engine cant andle smooth WASD movement like wow period, its impossible to make unless they change the all server architecture, end of discussion.
