{Backsteps} {No Thanks}

It's an insignificant change and people will adjust to it within 5 minutes of play.

This. Based on what we've seen in alpha, it'll be something players just think is normal once they start playing. Doesn't take away from anything.

The gif in OP's sig really goes nicely with their message.

Not if you play with controller. It will be terrible with controller. Backpedal is more a mouse thing.
If I want to run away with controller, the char should automatic turn around and run away without that I need to turn around the camera first. Have you stoped the time how much it need to turn the camera to 180° with controller?

Because surely we're all used to an usually keyboard/mouse friendly movement control scheme, right?

I think this sucks, too. Being able to run back is a lot better, not to mention it's much nicer on a controller than having to turn your camera around completely in order to run.

Many people have suggested that backpedaling all the time and backpedaling only when locked on as it used to be should be added as options, but it's just turned into a ridiculous and pointless argument/flame war thanks to many of the advocates of the "MMO standard". Like this one I just quoted.

There was a pretty long thread about this already, btw.

Haters gonna hate and i hate haters...

Self-loathing is not cool, man. You should try and change such bad habits.

This topic has been beaten to death here:

There is no need to go through this again.

Alpha supported keyboard/mouse only. You will have to wait till beta to see the controller UI behavior. Since this will be release for PS3 I'm sure SE isn't that dumb to keep backpedaling for controller UI.

We can only hope.

Personally, I want to walk backwards all the time.

On a serious note tho ...actually you can't be serious about this XD

and you say Elexia's posts are typical. Do you honestly care that other people have opinions that differ from your own?

I agree with the OP, but it's honestly not that bad once you get used to it. I do prefer running backwards though compared to the backpedal.

Hi everyone ...

Just want to share my idea about this issue ..

I played many MMO ...

i find the while moving/fighting ... backpedaling isn't a good choice... Running back is better way of moving ... back steps will be available when locking on a target ..


Many ppl that didnt play wow style games will find it difficult and might hate this game in launch

I like backsteps because it would make me to use keyboard/mouse more than a controller. What's your problem?

BTW, I love your signature.
