Notice Regarding Changes to Some Game Controls

[p]Hello, Stalkers. This is the Dungeon Stalkers Dev Team.[/p][p]Our Dungeon Stalkers Dev Team is currently busy preparing for the upcoming new season. In line with this new beginning, the game will feature many improvements and changes compared to the Pre-Season.[/p][p]Today, we would like to inform you about some changes to in-game mouse controls.[/p][p]The changes are as follows:[/p]
  • [p]Basic mouse controls will be improved to use left-click as the standard, in line with Windows operating systems and common games. While equipping gear and consumables will be a one-touch right-click operation, all other basic controls have been unified to left-click.[/p]
    • [p]Example: Equipping/Replacing Gear[/p]
      • [p]Existing: Drag and drop to an empty slot with left-click, or right-click to equip/replace.[/p]
      • [p]Changed: For equipment items, drag and drop to a slot with left-click, or right-click to equip/replace.[/p]
      • [p]For rings, right-click while comparing rings in a slot (by holding SHIFT) to replace the ring. However, if there is an empty ring slot, it will be equipped to the empty slot regardless of which ring slot is being compared.[/p]
    • [p]Example: Unequipping Gear/Consumables[/p]
      • [p]Existing: Right-click to unequip from the slot.[/p]
      • [p]Changed: Left-click to unequip from the slot.[/p]
    • [p]Example: Using Box-type Items[/p]
      • [p]Existing: Left-click to open and use the UI.[/p]
      • [p]Changed: Right-click to open and use the UI - following common Windows practice for opening menus with right-click.[/p]
    • [p]Example: Moving Items in Inventory, Storage, etc.[/p]
      • [p]Existing: Drag and drop with left-click selection, or right-click to move.[/p]
      • [p]Changed: Left-click, or drag and drop with left-click selection to move.[/p]
    • [p]Example: Dropping Items / Splitting Items[/p]
      • [p]Existing: Alt + Right-click / Ctrl + Right-click[/p]
      • [p]Changed: Alt + Left-click / Ctrl + Left-click[/p]
    • [p]Example: Changes to Marketplace and Shop Usage[/p]
      • [p]Existing: (Shop basis) Drag and drop an item with left-click, or right-click to move.[/p]
      • [p]Changed: (Including both Shop and Marketplace) Left-click, or drag and drop an item with left-click to move.[/p]
[p]After much internal deliberation regarding the direction of these changes, we determined that a control scheme that is easier for new and casual gamers to get used to in the long term was necessary.[/p][p]Therefore, to provide a smoother gameplay experience, we have revised the existing mixed left-click and right-click control system to primarily utilize the more common left-click.[/p][p]However, we understand that for veteran players who have become accustomed to the previous controls, this change may be contrary to their established habits. We kindly ask for your understanding regarding this alteration to their gameplay experience.[/p][p]We will continue to refine the game system to ensure that these improved controls make future gameplay simpler and more convenient.[/p][p]Please continue to follow Dungeon Stalkers and we appreciate your support.[/p]
