This Hotfix Update Hopes
Here is hoping this fixes the controller bug for controller users because its quite game breaking for those who use controllers. Its like aiming with WDSA for keybored users instead your mouse (While controlling movement at the same time). x.x
Note hot fixes aren't usually posted like ever. Only if there major.

And it wasn't a bug, it was intended. @Halrath had explained things to us in my thread here https://forums.enmasse.com/tera/discussion/comment/130579#Comment_130579
to fix this issue.
Being intended doesn't mean they should stick with it. That's what we hope, it gets fixed for real.
Last thing they did was just tossing the problem around for who used camera direction instead, and now I have to cope with this method that I just can't use, if I'm to play any DPS.
Simply, no I'm not gonna play with this system so I'm just playing Priest every now and then, and otherwise waiting for a fix.
And range classes have always been camera faced, no change there (I haven't played my sorc since the patch but it says it's the same as it always has been, other than the backstep and retreat, which they changed some time ago)
Thanks for the reminder, yeah since they have the target system, just like a lock, you can't make it any other way than facing camera (it has to follow the target after all). Good reminder there, may get back at Sorcerer or Archer then. I'm holding off from playing any melee for now cause I just don't feel like I should be forced to adapt, specially since they don't seem to make up their mind either (It was almost all in camera direction then they changed to character direction for no apparent reason).
I was away playing other games for about a year and a half (BnS, mostly some Nier Automata and FF15 here and there). I logged on last night thinking I'd give my a reaper a spin for nostalgia's sake (and my wife, whom i met in tera wants me to play again)... and boy was it awful.
To think that the option they choose was not to provide a third setting (mixed).. but instead to get rid of the first two options -> character facing/camera facing... I'm going to explain how this ruins my reaper experience:
1.) Pendulum strike -> whipsaw combo utility => dead
2.) Dashing behind after first stagger from double shear to use pendulum strike => dead
3.) PvP angular flexibility => dead
4.) Changing direction of smite stun without moving in that direction (or moving camera) => dead
5.) Changing direction of Sunder KD without moving in that direction (or moving camera) => dead
My point being: YOU SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ACTIVE INPUT DIRECTION IN FOR A SKILL TO BE CHARACTER FACING vice camera facing.
The end result of this reduction in controller flexibility has been to dramatically lessen my ability to play my favorite class.
I want my old character direction based skill input back. They broke it with the update patch and it's ruining using a controller for the classes I loved.
P.S. I'm refusing to come back until this [filtered] is fixed >_>
Since I'm not that into the idea of playing Archer right now, specially knowing one of my skills is utterly useless at 180ms, and not much in the mood for Sorcerer, I'm not gonna keep grinding Priest over and over as well. It just puts me off from playing.
Bluehole Studio please learn one thing: No, you don't know what's better for us more than we do. There was an option to chose which one, and options are there for the one choosing to decide what's better.
^ This all the way. I just wish everyone was happy again like they were when this was an option
Support isn't going to do anything about it, considering that's how the game is supposed to be. Your best bet would be to make sure a GM gets the message and relays it to BHS, so posting on the forum or PM'ing them is the best choice.
I'm used to holding forward anyway *grew up playing Sonic* (Although that habit has had me flying to the dark abyss going on rails a few times xD)
So if you see me running into a boss before I use a skill, refer to what I just said XD
I'm not appealing to casual players here by the way... I understand that alot of players don't have the experience or just haven't thought out every aspect the game has to offer. I'm not arguing you can't play with the new controls. I'm arguing that you can't play competitively with the new controls...
The new controls is exactly why I can try to pvp with valk, which I couldn't before.
Whatever's not good for you, doesn't mean it's not good for other people. In fact, it can be really good for (some) other players.
So your argument is denied.
