Gamepads over keyboards FAIL!

[MewMewMeow]

I'm not sure you understand what's happening. Up and Down arrows on the keyboard are supposed to change the action bar. I've had an issue many times before in which, instead of changing the action bar, the same keys changed targets. This was after having locked onto my target, and, indeed, having attacked enough times to build up TP for the weaponskill on my second bar. This is with targeting type A, so there are no "types" for it to cycle through; it just decided to change my target instead of my action bar.

Obviously, there's a problem here, and I'd say it stems from the fact that all in-game functions are bound to the same small set of keys. Realistically, I have hundreds, if not over a thousand, button combinations I could be binding these functions to. That is, if we could bind our own keys. . .

Ok I know up and down change action bar but for them to do that you must be in the right step.

Select Target with left click or tab.

The circle appears

up and down dont cycle through spells/actions yet. if you press up or down in this step you will change target. (even on my controller this happens.)

Press 1(or any action) the 3 gold lines appear around the circle on the target

press up or down it now cycles through your action bar.

this is what happens with target mode b with keyboard

same as controller as i explained above.

I could be mistaken but I see no reason why target mode a should work different than i just explained. I personally do not use it and will do testing tonight when i get home.

Do you play with the auto lock feature? I don't maybe there is a bug with either the targeting mode or the auto lock option altering something to screw up targeting/actionbar binding to arrow keys.

All I know is I do not experience any of the problems the OP experiences or you nor anyone in my LS. I think it is the inability to understand the steps of what i am describing or could be linked to target mode a bug/glitch somehow.

again testing will take place tonight. Please provide me with more info of your settings if possible.

This is what I'm thinking, honestly. I know to wait until the action bar shows up, but it still sometimes changes my target instead. Even if this is only a bug, it wouldn't be happening if the keys were bound differently. Note that I've also had the (unrelated) bug of the keys just not changing the bar at all, despite being on the right "step," so another bug wouldn't really surprise me. And, of course, there's the even less related bug where Shift+attack key doesn't start a battle regimen. Basically, combat's really buggy. . .
