As someone who spent many-many hours playing shooters on mobile, I'd like to share my feedback on the controls and hope some much needed changes will be implemented soon.
1. The game is entirely incompatible with control schemes using more than two fingers.
It is not uncommon in shooters on mobile platforms to use one or two index fingers for extra inputs that are put on top of the screen. However, Warframe overrides already active commands when inputting a new one this way.
For example, if a command (jump, shoot, etc.) is put on the upper left corner and activated will override all actions on the left side of the screen. Meaning the PC stops moving until a movement command is input again. This leads to janky gameplay and makes it extremely hard to navigate the environment in case movement abilities are on that part of the screen.
I would consider this the number 1 issue currently.
2. Auto-reload needs to be a toggle
Please let us turn off the auto-reload function. It is annoying and unintended reloading slows the game significantly while also a cause for getting downed due to inopportune automated reloads.
There is an option called 'Reload with Context Action Input' but that does not turn off auto reloads and does not make the context button a constant on the screen to be used as an actual reload button.
3. Dedicated melee button
For some reason there is no option to take a melee weapon out to be used as a primary weapon, or at least I haven't found a way to do so. The only way I've managed to block for example is to attack a chest or enemy and have the weapon in hand. Then the PC will automatically do so, but that's over once a shot is fired. Which is likely as auto fire is on by default and due to restrictions mentioned in point no. 1, it's likely to stay this way.
4. Do not hide the shoot button when auto-fire is on
For one, we should be able to fire our weapons without aiming down sight at any time.
For two, this also has gameplay drawbacks. For example, the PC refuses to shoot at shields on their own, which makes dealing with nullifier type enemies.
These were things that got my attention in about an hour of gameplay so far. The technical aspects of the game are pretty good, and I appreciate having the entirety of Warframe in my palm. But as long as controls are this janky it's really hard to get into the game.
