    Standard versus Legacy camera controls question (controller)

    Hello.

    I'd just like to ask a couple questions for anyone who knows the answers.

    I play with a controller (though I actually play on PC with it), and I've always used the Standard (character-based) movement/camera settings. This came with several quirky benefits, and just as many issues. While I love being able to strafe and backstep, it does have one critical issue, which seems to be a bug of some sort. For a brief moment after being released from certain movement-binding effects (including Gaols and Permafrost), the directional controls go haywire. If I move too quickly after being released, my character will move in a random direction, instead of the direction that I am telling it to move. This can cause serious gameplay issues, such as being unable to move out of AoEs properly (for example, trying to slide out of the fireballs in O1S).

    Legacy mode does not have this issue. And in most other respects, it feels quite similar to Standard mode, and I'd be willing to switch but for one exceptionally annoying thing: camera drift.

    It's not drift, strictly speaking, but the camera does adjust itself slightly based on the direction the character is facing. To me, this feels really unnatural, because I like standard movement/camera control schemes, where the left analog controls ONLY the character, and the right analog controls the camera. As it stands, in Legacy mode, if the left analog stick isn't held perfectly straight, the camera feels like it's drifting to the left/right, even though for all intents and purposes, I am moving straight ahead.

    Simply put, is there a way to turn the automatic camera adjustment off in Legacy mode?

    Alternatively, does anyone know if there is a setting that can prevent the directional glitch from happening in Standard mode?

    Thanks for your help.
