Okay, so clearly no one in this thread has played an action RPG before. The extent of the gaming among you guys appears to be binding of Issac. So I can understand how the use of keyboard/mouse might seem really confusing. I don't know how to describe it, but I recommend playing the demo for Diablo III, or there's Path of Exile if you want an idea of how mouse controls would benefit a game like this.

Maybe i'm just missing something, but the idea of no mouse support in a game like this sounds really unplayable to me. All of the old MMORPGs i've played where mouse support was very limited, were a chore to play and very frustrating.

If you don't like the Binding of Isaac comparison, how about A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana/Evermore, Gauntlet? Wayward Souls came out recently and Hyper Light Drifter had a pretty successful Kickstarter too.

I'd play a diablo clone where you can move with keys and cast in the opposite direction with your mouse. Does diablo do that, or is it still that lovely mouse only ordeal?

Mean while people in this thread are throwing a fit at the idea of an arpg having mouse controls. You're loving absurd if you think i'm actually throwing a fit though.

None of these are MMOs. They have very simplified menus and no need for anything more then a handful of buttons.

There's nothing better than having to keep switching controls between actually playing the game and menus. Being inconvenienced is the epitome of the mmo experience, I guess.

Sorry, but he's right. Not having mouse controls is very loving strange. The fact that the devs "couldn't make it work" is also very loving strange.

You guys do realize if there's keyboard control you can pretty easily map it to a controller with Joy2Key or something like that, if for whatever reason they don't implement controller support. People do it in DFO all the time.

I mean it's not a mouse but if keyboard control REALLY bothers you then it's an alternative.

Is it really that hard to understand why it's so weird that there's no mouse controls? Is this the twilight zone?

Does diablo have strafing? Like can you shoot at a monster while moving in different directions. Cause if you cant then there goes 1/4 of the classes in the game because everything stemming from archers need that. Most of the classes stemming from mages also have mechanics that are completely unwieldy with a mouse, like the ball abilities that need players to face in a particular direction to hit it in that angle. Things like the formation abilities from one of the warrior classes would also be entirely unwieldy with a mouse.

Honestly the problem is that you are looking at it like an ARPG and not something like a mana or zelda.

How do you strafe with the controls they've shown, then? Strafing would require movement with wasd or arrow keys or something and then facing with the mouse. The controls they've shown are up, down, left, right, and z and x for attacking. You can't strafe with that. I don't remember being able to strafe in zelda, either.

You can lock into enemies with an archer class.

Nice way to load your question. I've already seen all of the videos for it, because believe it or not I want to play this game too, and I assumed that the mouse is involved somewhere. Like, archer wouldn't have to lock on if you used the mouse to face and moved with wasd. Is it really so hard to understand why someone would assume that and be confused by it not being that way?

So you though the mouse was for facing/probably 2 attacks max right? Not like an arpg where you move and attack by clicking poo poo?

If people care half as much about this game as they do about ragnarok online, there will be mouse control third party programs pretty much right away -- as long as there is some in-game advantage to be gained from it.

People have broken the poo poo out of RO's client to the point where the game is barely recognizable, pvp areas are a series of greyscale tiles, key classes are either sprite edited to be gigantic and/or contain blocks of cyan so AHK scripts can be written to "spam x skill on cyan". Every client side restriction you can think of has been circumvented including the ability to freely walk onto other players' cells so most group PVP is two groups of people standing on 4 cells each and spamming enough damage at each other to oneshot a player 2-3 times per second.

So, if this game attracts the same audience you will almost certainly be able to mouse target.

I think I'm going to play some stupid rear end official Renewal RO off and on for a few days before I get bored or kill myself for playing this game again. Will be rolling a new character. Anyone interested in shooting the poo poo in game while we kill sandmen or whatever?

Ok so apparently they merged servers like 3 times and now I have all 11 characters I've made over the last decade across several servers on Chaos. So weird.
