Not happy about the new game controls just tried to use the options available to me, as I play on a Mac Book, due to the control changes got killed very quickly in game play.

Really enjoyed the old controls; up, down, left and right arrows on side of my Mac Book keyboard to move, Z and X buttons for attack/defence and space bar to toggle weapons. Really Really can not stand the moving and facing direction with the mouse pad, makes it so hard!

Looks like I will probably have to leave the game as can’t play with the new control options and haven’t got a control pad or external mouse. Why can’t we have the option to configure our own controls if using a keyboard? I would configure them back to what they where before, which made game play enjoyable and user friendly for me as a Mac Book user.

You should have heard me

You should have heard me ranting and raving last night in gh about the same thing. Have no fear. Seems console gaming is near.

Total agreement!

My thoughts exactly!

With the new control scheme I can no longer play. I don't have a mouse, and trackpad is no good for gaming; before, I could use arrows to both turn and move. Now I need to use both hands to move, and can't shoot/shield properly. My laptop's keyboard can't receive that many inputs at once.
It had still been working with my old custom controls until I accidentally tried one of the new schemes, and I can't switch back. Please make the old options also an option again! (also it would be nice if one could map the 'gamepad' slot back to keyboard, as I used to use that frequently as well, for times I did have a mouse)
