Help with "Movement Settings"

[Lollie]

First thing as a caster you will want to turn auto lock off (at your level book thwacking is unnecessary, and getting patched so its range only requirement) and make sure automatic face target is on (Targeting Tab) this may be whats causing your mind of its own camera controls in legacy settings as they are camera based, and when locked on your camera revolves around your target not your character.

Note you cannot run backwards in this game which is baked into Standard, backpeddling . (there are ways to fudge it with keyboard users which are getting removed in the next update, mechanically and aesthetically you just can't though)

In Legacy the movement follows the camera not the character, so it is moving you towards whatever direction related to the edge of your current camera view. So if you are locked on it moves you in relation to your lockon target. Additionally if you have Auto-fly checked it tries to maintain the camera behind your character as you move (so you probably want that off).
