    Legacy control & left-click panning

    In 6.3, the option for Legacy Controls to Disable Camera Pivot made the otherwise nausea inducing control scheme viable for me.

    Since trying it out, I've found it to be superior in a number of ways to the standard.
    Mainly in how it more naturally incorporates auto-facing, and also its full-mobility in back-peddling.

    However, I've become extremely used to (in almost all 3rd person games) holding left-click to pan, and right click to turn.
    Legacy does use this somewhat. When using Auto-Move, I can safely look around with left-click, and manipulate my direction with right click.
    However, Auto-Move isn't always viable.

    So my request is an option for this to always apply when moving.
    I.E. When in motion, free-look while holding left-click, and turn while holding right-click.

    Thanks!

    But that's literally what Standard movement is. The point of Legacy movement is that the direction you press is the direction on the screen you move. If you want to turn the camera while moving, you have to change your movement direction to compensate. If this were not the case, it would not be Legacy movement. In fact in the cases where Legacy movement allows what you're asking, it actually does not: it temporarily switches to Standard movement.

    Legacy controls certainly has its upsides in fights, but i prefer the standard conrol for general movement, to be able to look sideways while running.

    there are a few problems with TAB targeting and movement in this game that needs some changes.

    regarding movement, the biggest problem is that your character auto faces the target when you use a skill, that can result in your character running the wrong direction, you can turn this off in theory, but then you face the problem that you cant attack the target infront of you, because the angle you see is too small (90°?).

    i switched to legacy in some savage fights where precise movement is required, i had it so often in P10 for example that my character ran into the poison because i attacked the boss while running over that narrow web-bridge.

    a simple hotkey to toggle between legacy and standard would be a great.

    This would be a sensible compromise.
