I am well aware that you can hit "k" (or click on the system menu on the right side) to open up the key mapping.  I did this long before I posted here, and I have checked and double checked, and here is no option to bind "free look" to a key.

The mouse is VERY useful in an MMO and so is being able to side step.  Side stepping allows you to run in one direction and move around obstacles without taking your eyes off of what you're running towards.  This is VERY USEFUL in PVP.

It just seems very odd that the function is in the game, but you can't key bind it.  I even tried to make a macro, but the function is not on the pulldown menus (and I don't know if there is a way to use / commands to build macros).

 
Toggle mouse look with right is apperantly the only way to toggle.

As for the trouble with strafe I don't really see how there can be one...

Without mouse look:

W= forward

S= back

A= turn left

D= turn right

With mouse look:

W= Forward

S= Back

A= Strafe left

D= Strafe right

Mouse look in Ryzom plays just like just about every FPS out there, sound fine to me. If the right click toggle is that big an issue then I doubt you'll ever find a game that works for you.

Maybe, just Maybe strafe fighting is usefull in some MMO's but since Ryzom has an auto follow it isn't that important here...

 

 

 

 

I realize that's the way it works, but it should not be that way.

If you have A and D bound to turning, then it makes sense for them to switch to sidestepping when you hold down the RMB.

But if you have them bound to sidestepping, it makes no sense for them to switch to turning.

I personally hate keyboard turning, and never, ever use it, so I never want my A and D keys to switch to it.

So you say you use muose look most of the time, here's a suggestion:

Without mouse look:

W= forward

S= back

A= turn left

D= turn right

Z= Strafe left

C= Strafe right

With mouse look:

W= Forward

S= Back

A= Strafe left

D= Strafe right

Z= Turn left

C= Turn right

That way you'll have your preferred set up most of the time and have to stratch just a little bit the rest of the time...

It's not ideal I admit but MMO's tend to be played without mouse look (in fact some even have click to move which is far far worse than this...)

I just played the game for the first time.  I had to rebind everything to make it work like all the other mmos on the market do automatically, but whatever at least i could set things up.  I did not specify strafe keys at all.  I set 'a' to left turn and 'd' to right turn.  When I hold the left mouse button down those keys now automatically become my strafing keys without any additional setup.  Just doing that alone makes the game work properly for me, i can run forward and strafe around people without issue.  Except that just strafing in the game is very slow hops instead of a steady walk.

Then I spent five minutes trying to figure out how to jump....

And I hope you realized that you can´t. At least not without casting a spell.

And in addition you realized, or at least accepted that its not a gamebreaker to not be able to jump like a bunny.

I´d like to be able to jump somtimes too in this world, especially if some "not that good defined hitbox" prevents me from running around some smal opstacle and I have to make a realtively wide detour. Which luckylie does not happen all too often.

A system that connected jumping to stamina or somesuch would be sufficient and fitting into the world.

Maybe it´ll come someday, who knows. Untill then it´s:

Atys boys/girls can´t jump. - So what?

The rather sad thing is that at character creation you do get an option between several keyboard layouts but you'll end up with the default :( Hopefully that bug will be fixed in the future...

I certainly hope that the OP does take the time to explore Ryzom.

I always use to tell everyone when you start Ryzom FORGET every other game you have ever played it is unlike any other game and it will be hard for you to play if you insist on comparing it to other games.

 Try not to forget this game was released 4 yrs ago.  Released mind you.  It is a awesome game and we who started with it 4 years plus beta are just happy to once again run and play in Atys.

We have a great community.  Tho we do get defense cause we love the game so much.  I do have to admit 5 mins is not long enough to give a good review.

Again not all games are for everyone.  I doubt it will ever happen.

Since I don't PvP, I dont use strafe and not even sure what it is.

Have a good day and play with an open mind, you are entitled to your opinion but remember it is your opinion.

Hugssss

 I personaly like the game. It has some good secondary skills. Like the game graphics, enviroment, weapons and creatures. I like most of it. But it kept on disconnecting, aand i never god a solution on how to fix it. So i quited playing the game. but apart from that i like the game Have you tryied settings, cause i cant remember having any problem with lacking mouselook option.

2. Sliders, sliders, sliders. If this is bad then I'd like to see good I can think of at least three games than are far far worse...

 Terrific.  I can move my lips up and down.  But there are about 6 different hair styles.  Again, this is not a deal breaker for me, but it would be nice to have more options, and for the sliders to do more.  SWG comes to mind as a game where the character appearance options actually had a major impact on character appearance.

 

I've read the entire thread, and I think you got answers to most of your questions.

Though, I didnt notice anyone answering the above question.. I might help you with that one

In the main cities, you'll find some npc's that sells new hairstyles and tatooes. There's plenty more than 5-6 styles for sale there ;-)

I think the OP's signature says it all.

Just substitute lazy for too stupid.
