Key bindings/camera controls

Post by shellshock »

Will there be any way in the game of changing the key bindings, especially for the camera controls? I'm not sure I can get used to the ones in the demo.

Also, is moving the cursor to the edge of the screen the only way of scrolling the battle? Will there be keys you can use instead?

By the way, thanks for a very good demo.

There isn't currently any way to alter the control of the camera in battle. I must confess that I sometimes find myself trying to use the WoW control keys :).

Cheers

you can drag your mouse on the satellite view at the right bottom to scroll across the battle field

I note the "currently"! If you are considering requests for enhancements in any future patch (hang on, the game isn't even out yet :D ), this gets my vote.

It's never to early to ask for patches/enhancements. :lol:

Is there any update on this? It seems strange that you can rotate the camera using the keyboard, but you can't scroll it. Having to move the mouse all the way to the edge of the screen or the minimap is a bit wearying.

Also are there any hotkeys for the icons/common functions once in the battle?

Thanks.

Yes the camera keys are very counterintuitive. Arrow keys scroll in almost every other rts. The ability to rebind them would be nice or at least have some keyboard controls to scoll (wasd).

Sorry guys,

we haven't changed the mouse/keybpoard controls in the patch. We'll keep enhanced keyboard control in mind for the future.
