moving around
is there anyway to not use the mouse to go left or right. I do not want to use the mouse at all for movement.

✭✭✭✭✭You can constantly strafe, but unless you're missing a hand, there's a reason they use a mouse/keyboard combo.----

Vikova✭✭✭✭✭I don't understand the question. Are you asking whether you can make it so you don't aim your character via the mouse? If that is your question, the answer is no. You use the mouse to decide which way you are facing, keys to actually move.1 -
I just wish I could move around without needing the mouse to change course. kind of like ffxiv or wow0

Vikova✭✭✭✭✭I suppose it is a personal preference thing. I don't think I've ever used a "turn left" or "turn right" key in a video game. It is always faster to strafe with the keys and turn with the mouse.2

Rhylanna✭✭I, on the other hand, would LOVE it if I had the option to actually TURN with the mouse instead of just "looking" with the mouse. But if that's not doable, then even being able to bind keys to turn left and right would be a great help. I find it very disconcerting to think I'm facing one way only to find out when I attack something that I am actually only looking that way!Fatewalkers NA server, primarily Daggerfall Covenant, 30+ (mature, working folks with kids, dogs, etc!), casual, PVE oriented, small but growing!

vanderghast✭✭As someone mentioned, you move with the keys, and you look at a direction with the mouse, but you don't move with the mouse (you can, move with the mouse, such as holding a mouse button down, which is already assigned to a combat option though, but to look at something with a keyboard...? ).
You can try to change the point of view. Try looking over your shoulder with the camera. When you meet multiple monsters, it is fortunate to LOOK AT the one you want to attack (such as killing the "summoner" will automatically also kill his undead attacking you, no point to attack the undead, closer to you, than the summoner, which is doable, with a range attack/spell, if you "target" the summoner (I think, though, that the TAB key also allows to change target)).0 -
Rhylanna✭✭Where I am running into issues is when a mob jumps over me and attacks from behind. I can't just turn around. I can look around but if I attack at that point I am still attacking in the direction I am facing not the direction I am looking. So I have to move to actually face where the mob is now. (Targeting doesn't seem to help.) And even though I try to inch up, I inevitably wind up moving either on top of them or past them and well, there I am attacking nothing because they are still behind me. I understand there is no other option at the moment, just hoping someday there may be. Thanks for your advice and suggestions.

I fail to see the problem. Turn around and hit them.Edited by nerevarine1138 on April 6, 2014 3:41PM----

Coggage✭✭✭✭Most of the mmorpgs I have played since 1998 used the mouse this way. If you don't like using a mouse try a controller maybe? That might do the trick for you.0
