Question about controls

Setzer

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I haven't been able to find anything on it and I haven't participated in any beta events.  I was curious if this game supports mouse movement?  That is, being able to move your character using your mouse.  This is how I usually control my characters when playing games like WoW, SWTOR, LotRO and GW2. I hope ESO has support for this.

To clarify for someone who may know the answer, do you mean click to move?

No, my experience and some light research shows that it is a WASD movement scheme with using the mouse to activate primary attack abilities.  in addition, in my time during the last beta, there were no other options to set up for moving.  

I would much rather a different method that a FPS style such as this.

You can see from videos released that this game isn't quite the same as those games. You have a targeting reticule on your screen. That reticule is where you are aiming.

"Fighting someone or something usually comes down to a short left mouse click for a light attack, and a long click for a heavy attack. Right-clicking blocks, and clicking both mouse buttons is a type of parry."

This covers most of the key combinations when you read this article so my guess is no, you don't control the movement of the character's feet with the mouse but you deduced that from this article and videos - you see.

 

Unless, they were in press beta... sometimes mods answer honest questions on these forums man, and press from other sites have accounts too.  So just calm down.

Thanks for the appropriate response. This is really disappointing since almost all MMO's support mouse movement controls. I'll still give it a shot if I get into beta but I imagine my experience with the game isn't going to be nearly as enjoyable as it could have been. I understand they're trying to adapt the controls to be used with a controller but still should have done something similar to what SE did with FFXIV and give people a choice.

No, this is not click to move. This is being able to move your character forward by holding down the left or right mouse button.

No your actions are tided to the mouse buttons, you move like most games with WASD (thankfully) or the Numlock for auto run.

This isn't an FPS and all MMO's support mouse movement control.  I'm happy for you that they support controls you're comfortable with but it would be nice if they also provided an option for those of us who prefer mouse movement controls.
