More action oriented combat! ~no auto-attack~

[AceofRains]

first off, not to be offensive but i had to learn to move my hand across the keyboard without having to look at my hands because the pace of battles does not allow for that amount of time.
my friends are better at it than me, but they can essentially hit any key with their pointer finger without a second thought with almost perfect accuracy.
this effort (and probably talent) is to me the exact opposite of lazy and seems to me using menus is more of the easy way out.
why ride a bike when you can drive a car if both are staring at you in the face?

luckily for me my hands reach from the squiggly before 1 all the way to #8, ive learned to not have to eye E,R,F,T,V and B, but my fingers tend to slip when i keybind Z,X,C,G,H and Q
the short hand numbers are used for certain long lasting buffs and useable combat items.

it just saddens me this game was designed for the gamepad and not KB/Mouse.

im so sick of having RE-PRESS ENTER EVERY TIME I MOVE MY CAMERA ANGLE IN ORDER TO REACTIVATE MY ACTION BAR. btw, wtf is the point of activating your action bar anyway? why cant it at least stay activated until i press deactivate?

Meh I'm done with the controller/keyboard argument, its what ever floats you. If you plan your skill on the bar right, its almost equal in access weather you use either one.
As for the action bar :/ its the form of engaging your foe. there is an option to have it always displayed, but other than that you gotta activate to engage.

yes, i know this. YYYY must i activate it to engage? why does it dissengage by the mere movement of the camera angle? again, if they feel some odd necessity for this action bar engagement which does not exist in any MMO in history that i can think of, then why not add an engage/dissengage button so i dont have to constantly reengage it in the middle of battles?

consider this.
Combos are coming out which focus almost entirely on mob position. its generally a good idea to have your camera behind you, target lock is a niche taste which im sure not all of us use, having to make sure you reengage your action bar is going to be an even more tedious and unnecessary aspect of gameplay.

I can believe I'm saying this but... I think it might be a keyboard thing. I dont have the problem you describe with controller :/ my right analog stick does all tha camera work pretty smoothly, plus i can hold the camera at an angle if I want. I never have a problem with disengaging. so idk :P

ah i c.
ive never tried a controller on here so this must be partly what everyone has talked about the game being more suitable for controller.
yeah its pretty infuriating when second wind is down there but you moved your camera and forgot it means youll have to repress enter in order to cycle through your bars again. bah!

Hmm, have you auto target-lock on?
Do you press Esc to cancel the target-lock?
Tested to press only C?

If you press C you turn off/on target-lock without losing your target cross and your active action bar.

But I have some situations too, where I couldn't switch the action bar up/down with keyboard after I turned the camera a bit with the mouse. It was ok again after I switched the bar up/down with the mouse. No such problem with controller.
