get RID of the extra buttons to press when engaging please

MMOs should be played on a mouse and keyboard. i have a gamepad and do not use it.

Then you're playing the wrong one. Sorry. There are a hundred K/M-centric MMOs out there. This ain't one of them. If you want to play WoW or Lotro, then by all means go play WoW or Lotro. Enjoy.

Not to sound insensitive to the plight, but you really should invest in a PC controller.

The only problem is that the PC controllers on the market suck. Badly! There's only one model that fits in my hands, isn't so flimsy that it breaks in a couple of months, and has 11 programmable buttons... and it's been discontinued for years. I'm tempted to stockpile a few of the remaining ones available through Amazon.com just in case my existing one breaks. (And, admittedly, the latest one I bought--after 4 years on the first one--is a little flaky with the direction pad, so I should replace it.)

I loved using keyboard on 11 but this game is ridiculous with the keyboard imo. Maybe sometime when they let us go back to numpad for moving and arrow keys for camera. I liked that.

I'm gettin' pretty quick with it now, but yea I also use a controller.

All you have to do is enter active mode (always had to do this), target the monster (always had to do this) and bring your action bar up and usable where you can cycle through abilities (always had to do this). It doesn't seem to take any more or less actions to get started than it used to for me at least.

not really, they altered it pretty early on so that pressing an attack puts you in attack mode.

you can still do it if you start off with a basic attack, but then you are wasting your long cool down skill. they should probably put back the simple attacks, and make them basically initiate auto attack mode, or just call it attack as mog says.

Bingo

I have a standard attack for CON THM ARC saved to the #1 spot already, so why cant I just have a button for initiating auto attack on every other class in that spot?

+1 for sure. I can't count how many times I've walked up to a mob and hit 1 just to realize my timer wasn't ready yet.

man i have been waiting on them to improve the kb mapping forever....i want to map my arrow keys damnit!

It's not possible for me to use a gamepad, I already have enough crap up here with a usb mouse, tablet and other crap stuck into my laptop (yes I 'play' on a laptop) so it would really mean a lot to me if they invested some time into making this so.

It doesn't help that sometimes if I have my weapon drawn no amount of target/c/entering will engage me in attack.
