Fix lock-on backpedal

I use the lock-on (numpad 5 key) to help with my positional moves on dragoon and it really bugs me that I backpedal when trying to dodge. Elusive jump only works so much. can we please make it like the legacy camera type where you run backwards facing away from target when pressing S?

Actually I think you just go to character setting -> control settings -> general -> control type -> legacy type and that should solve your problem.

I have those settings on but lock-on still does the backpedal.

Actually I just thought of something, did you set settings to automatically face target? If you do that you shouldn't have to target lock.

the reason I target lock is it makes my Q and E keys make me circle the target instead of run diagonally, the face target wouldn't help as lock on keeps you facing target at all times, guess i'll have to learn to not use it.

actually, with a bit of practice W+A (A+E for smaller radius) or W+D (Q+D for smaller radius) does the same thing. When I first got to mmorpg it took a while for me to get use to it too, but now it's pretty much muscle reflex. Just watch the radius of your run that's all.

The other thing that helps me tons with movement is teh left+right mouse click buttons, majority of the fight I have my index finger on the left mouse click, and if I need to move, just point camera and press right mouse button. and if you rotate the camera you can choose any radius you want.

Thunder, you suggestion is a good one, but not for gamepad players. The simple fix would be to remove target lock all together, and have the option for auto-attacks to work when in range, not when directly facing. This would negate the target lock system entirely as I do not think it serves any other purpose.
