And I want support for my gamepad. Actually, I want to ble able to play co-op with a friend on spli screen.

Add support for my joystick too because I want to dive in with Regulus after I repair his wings.

Please, wait for the freackin' beta. We will then see what type of controls suit the game better. Let me remind that Mythos had different cameras for the different movement types.

Yeah that's how I feel about it.

There are SOME games where WASD just doesn't work.  However I feel that if you can dance around with click-to-move, then not adding WASD because it makes it easier to dance is a bad reason.

Tyo said on the GPG forum:

The question is, will WASD introduce dancing?  Or will it be there anyways and people will just end up miss-clicking when trying to attack someone after they moved their cursor behind them?  If it's a yes to that, i think there should be WASD...  Personally, I don't see why dancing is bad.  I like dancing and positioning easily.  I think GuildWars had the perfect combat/movement engine for an auto-attack game.

I mean.. Who removes click clickl click shift click shift click click shift click shift click in Diablo2, especially with a Bowzon?

Either way, I'm more concerned with Demigods having cool skills and good variance with the teamplay and builds.  I don't really care about WASD if Demigod is good in those areas.  I don't care about WASD if it really truely doesn't fit the gameplay.

That's too complicated!

Well, what kind of WASD are you talking about here,

WASD where A and D rotate the hero? or

WASD where each button (or combination, as in WA) moves the hero in a cardinal direction?

I think it would be good gameplay wise to have the second option, but I'm not sure if:

1. The engine can handle it.

2. You can mentally process the "moving hero" WASD, the "clicking on stuff" mouse, and the "zooming in and out" mouse at the same time. That seems somewhat hard. That's not an argument against WASD, just an observation of how players react. How many people would/could use the WASD controls if they were implemented?

I was about to add this thread, but since it is already here, I'll chime in...

Basically, the question I see is, does an RTS or an RPG control scheme better suit this game?  The game designers come from an RTS background, and it is at least loosely based on DotA, which comes from an RTS, so I can see why the RTS control scheme is used.  However, that is ideal for controlling armies; no RPG would use that system when it is basically a single character you are contolling.  To me it feels unecessarily awkward for controlling a single character.

An RPG scheme would go like this: WASD to control character movement which the camera follows.  Right mouse button + mouse rotate points him in the direction you want to go.  Left mouse button + rotate alters which direction the camera is looking at him.  WoW has a nice option where right + left mouse buttons have the character run forward, and you then don't really need the WASD except you still need "A" to back up.  Tab would cycle through the potential list of creeps you are going to waste, and then the rest of the keys can be hot-keyed as one pleases.

The RPG scheme seems to me better suited for this kind of single-character focused gameplay.

I agree with the spirit of the OP not to remove the current system.  Heck, even in WoW you have the option to use the point and click move system if you want but I doubt anybody does.  BUT, I think it's safe to say the more control custumizability the better, since no good comes form forcing people to play with control systems they don't like.

WASD wouldn't work >< 

Well if they add left-click-target-locking and space to attack locked-target, then i wouldnt' see hardly any benefit to WASD, and would rather use WASD to pan.

For me, as i'm a Guildwars player, i prefer to also have WASD control. There's some advantages in doing WASD like these

1. You can time and dodge some skill that's a projectile (not 100% hit)

2. you can stop while casting and start running as soon as you finish the casting.

3. Make kiting and using skills easier

But when we think about the technical implementation, we can see some conflict here.

1. We don't have STRAFING animation for Demigods.

2. SupCom seem to support Strafing when firing but Demigod have to stop before attacking. That mean it may actually doable to move in a strafing way.

3. WASD control may conflict with the pathfinding calculation of the game, since the initial design of the engine haven't bring the WASD control into architecture design.

To  sum it up, it's a good thing to have more than 1 method of controling. But due to some techinical difficulties, this may not happen to be posible to implement.

One advantage to a general's WASD implemenation is that you can move the general around with WASD and highlight+command specific units with the mouse action. My guess is that the opposite is going to occur, where you move your general with the mouse point+click and use 1,2,3,4 to highlight units.

After releasing the content as-is, I would push for having a WASD method implemented, so people can choose the one more intuitive for them.

  Yeah I like WiC's control scheme.  WASD to move camera, mouse at the edges to tilt/twist.

  I still wouldn't mind the option of WASD character movement either though.
