Please turn off backpedaling while using the "lock on" mode.

Seriously, it's a cool feature, but completely worthless since any movement away from the enemy forces your character to backpedal which means you'll just get hit by some AOE attacks.

If you can give the player an option to turn off backpedaling while locked on that would be awesome. Sometimes breaking it constantly can be a pain and is incredibly tedious.

Can't you just break lock?

I think the point of the legacy camera config is so that we don't have backpedaling, ever. If we were ok with backpedaling at any time, we would use the standard camera config. I never use lockon solely for that fact that it is often a death wish in a great number of fights, and the backpedaling makes it worse.

Obviously, but I would like to see lock on as something that can at least be viable to use.

You don't always have time to break the lock at every critical moment, making it incredibly risky to use. Removing backpedaling during it while in legacy or having it as a separate option would make lock on mode far more entertaining.

As Reika says, lock on is just asking to die.

Please? Disable backpedaling when lock on is enabled during legacy please.

That negates half the reason for using lock on.... Which in itself is meant to help compensate for the shortcomings of a controller/legacy movement.

Or you know, it's actually meant to help keep the camera and character focused and locked on to a specific target while allowing the player to easily strafe around the opponent. Like in most games with a lock on setting.

Having backpedaling disabled during legacy during lock on does nothing to hinder the player. Backpedaling in itself is not ever helpful for the most part as your character automatically faces them upon skill use, and allowing the option to disable it does nothing negative. I'm saying give the player the choice, that's all.

Not ever helpful? You would be mistaken, however, let me put it this way. You want lock on mode, to continue what it does, and let you properly strafe around a target, but IF you press anything that's not left, right or forward, you want it to immediately flip you around and run away. You want only ONE direction to be legacy while locked on, but to keep the rest the same. Lock on is designed to keep you FACING the target which is how it makes it so you can easily strafe on a controller. Which is why I said it is intended to compensate for the shortcomings of controller/legacy movement. If you don't want to backpedal, you unlock.

Okay how about a compromise. If there was an option it would at least be nice. You can still be facing the opponent, lock on functions in other games make the camera lock on and face the opponent at all times, but not necessarily the character. Make it a separate option outside of legacy so players who do want to backpedal can. Is that good enough?

I mean we have little quality of life options to even have the player character hold their weapon out for an extra 2 seconds out of battle. Surely an easy toggle option wont kill the game.

I find the mode enjoyable because it allows certain classes that use positional bonuses to easily strafe around the opponent. It is a death wish though to even bother using. Having to break lock constantly only hinders the player and can get tedious.
