When the beta is released , will players who who are participating be able to adjust their control setup?
I'm a left hand player, i have a real problem with using "wasd" controls. Would be nice if we had the option to change..

Is it possible??

since RO2 is not a crapping console port i would assume that we can change our controls

Have you never ventured past the options buttons seen in 99% of pc games?

I'm honestly confused

I think he was more specifically asking about the beta, several that I recall didn't allow you to change the bindings till release.

You Shouldn't be confused, it was a simple question..
I played BF3 alpha trial the other week, couldnt change "wasd" controls. They were set as default. Had to use AutoHotkey - to configure keys.

Ive been playing competitive for ten years, indeed ventured past the options and beyond..

Reminds me of the friends i have who keep asking me "dude whats the button for this and that" in a new game, because I am the only one who actually goes to options before playing to change everything.

Ive had experience with "Beta Tests" and "alpha trials" in the past were the controls default setting was "wasd" No options to change..

Battlefield 3 "Alpha" being the last game i tested..

Yeah I don't use the WASD or the NumPad setup, I've been using the actual arrow keys on the keyboard since Wolf 3D, and when Quake I came out and I had to figure out how to look with the mouse, the keys were still the arrow keys to move, then around when Half-Life came out, I noticed the WASD setup, which for the life of me I never understood.

Why?

Why did someone think it was a great idea to use WASD in the middle of a pile of other keys when the arrow keys are right there with enough buttons to bind that are decently spread out from one another so you avoid hitting the wrong keys when you're not looking down?

With the arrow keys, I can just feel where my buttons are..... with WASD or the numpad, if I'm off by one key, everything is off, so I usually have to look down to see where I'm placing my hand.

*shrugs*

Anyways, it's good to hear the controls can be setup in the beta, as I even re-bind my mouse.

Because arrow keys make you use your left hand on the right end of your keyboard, so you're not really facing your screen when you use them (or at least I don't since I have a laptop).
Plus it's too close of the mouse.

i like full custom controls, being new to pc gaming for a year i have come adjusted to controls i learnt playing crysis (one of my first non rts games on pc) and i struggle to adjust out of it.

Oh a please, there must be a option to press a button to remain crouched instead of having to hold. boy that so annoying when you cant
