We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

Can you change default roll direction to Forward?

I cant count the amount of times ive roll dodged using the key bind WHILE hitting "w" and it rolls me backward.

Is there a way to change this or an addon Im no seeing? Id like to always roll thhe way im facing.

    I just move the left stick on my playstation controller to the direction I want to go before I trigger the roll dodge.

    I very rarely roll forward. Usually backwards or to the side.

    Slightly change the timings on the repeat rate in your keyboard settings. Then the double tap on the appropriate W S D or A key will Roll you in the direction you want far easier. No need to use the Roll Dodge binding.

    It will take a little fiddling to get it just right. But now I can RD in any direction I want.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I use the double tap (PC keyboard) and, like @Nestor tweaked the repeat rate timings to taste. I somewhat regularly dodge-roll forward. It is a quick and invulnerable gap-closer.

    dodge roll binding? on a lagfest?
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    If you’re dodging while hitting another key anyway, why not instead use the double tap as Nestor and AcadianPaladin suggest? That is what I use all the time. I also have a single keybind with the thought of it being for emergencies (in which case I pretty much never would want to go forward) but haven’t had a need for it.

    thats helpful

    I dont use double tap anymore because in lag my character would do a little jig and no roll. Trust me ive fiddled around with the double tap.

    Id just like to see the option to set the default roll to forward and not backwards

    yes?

    u bind it so u dont have to double tap..... just direction + key.

    what OP doesnt realize maybe the lag can cause some funky movements. like, if you go LEFT + RIGHT + LEFT + DODGEROLL, u might roll to the right because the dodge roll key might supercede the 2nd left trigger......

    yeah, but double tag does exactly what you need on semi playable lag evironments. On laggy environments the system just register one of two combinations. Similar to what happens with weaving

    What do you mean what I dont realize? Im asking for it to be default forward because of the funky movement in lag.

    Im not pressing W+S+W and trying to roll forward. Im holding W down and rolling backwards. Which is why id like the default roll moment to be forwards because right now its backwards.

    Or just give me the option in settings to choose which direction I want it to be so those who want to roll backwards still can.

    I am particularly disdainful of autobackwards roll. Backwards rolling (a) is the hardest roll and it's silly to just give people that roll and completely eliminate the skill barrier, but (b) it's super annoying.
