Why can't you control movement with the mouse?

I've come to make suggestions again. Maybe I have many suggestions, but I like your game very much and hope it becomes better.

I have been in touch with this game for a short time. When I first came into contact with this game, I found that I can't control the movement with the mouse. My first feeling is that it's a little low-end, because most games now use the mouse to control the movement, which will be much more convenient. The "Dyson plan" of the same type of Games supports the movement of the mouse. If you are afraid of affecting the operation, you can support keyboard and mouse.
Anyway, I sincerely wish this game better. I will recommend it to my friends around me.

(translated by computer, can you fully express my meaning)

You mean Diablo-like movement?

But the main reason it is not implemented is, that you otherwise have problems to move and aim while in a fight. In other words: you need to either use a third mouse button (as the mod, which not everyone has) or switch modes, which makes the game significantly more complicated.

Will not be implemented.

Thank you for your reply. In fact, it can support mouse and keyboard movement at the same time. It can be controlled by keyboard in some special places. If the mouse clicks on the open space, it can move. Of course, this is just my idea. I don't know if it's difficult to realize. Dyson's plan is very good at this point.

I've used the mod you said, which can meet my requirements, but there are bugs. Sometimes the characters shake and keep shaking. The author doesn't fix it for a long time, and I can't fix it myself, so I can only give feedback to the official.If the official support, I think it will be better

Well, route planning is difficult.

Simply, none of the developers desires to control movement with the mouse hard enough for them to either code the alternative control scheme, or to convince a programmer to code it.
