I'd prefer another movement system, but if the current one stays I can see two simple changes to make it more bareable.
1. Add a Chain/Unchain hotkey.
Just a heads up but this exists (as a chain/unchain all) as "Toggle Group Mode" in keybindings.
Wait, they finally did something about this?!
I'm not sure I'd have realized what "Toggle Group Mode" meant even if I saw it listed. Is this new to patch 5? If so it should have been like the first they mentioned in their new news announcements, cause then I would have downloaded the patch immediately instead of waiting until right now.
This needs a default bind like CTRL+A or something obvious.
They should really highlight this in the Tutorial, like as soon as the Imp first imp combat concludes in the prologue. If they have a simple default bind to Group All, then the game should automatically Ungroup All once combat concludes, to prevent the characters from ambling around or falling all over each other precisely at the point when you'd really want everyone to just freeze and wait until they are issued a command to follow the leader again. It would be hugely helpful, and reduce my main annoyance with this game since like day one.
