Age of Conan

...they should be attacking with the mouse buttons instead of the 1, 2, and 3 key? I don't know if it's just me, but I find it hard to move with WASD and attack with 123 at the same time. I just want to utilize the whole "skill factor" in the game by being able to fully control movement and swing simultaneously.

An idea I had was to allow the left shift key to bring up the cursor to loot, use skills, ect and have any mouse movement be "looking around" by default. The top clickers (if 3) could act as the 1,2,3, while some other key on the keyboard near WASD hold up the shield. Any of you feel me on this? I believe being able to move and attack to full potential adds much more control to the character, also breaking down some of the "limit" walls.

Otherwise normally, how it's set up now, I run up to a mob of bandits and go on to click the first ability, then take my fingers off the movement keys to use 1,2,3. I just want to be able to attack and move at the same time with no problem.

Any suggestions?

No The less "Im 1337" JackHoles running and Bunny hopping the better.

I hate autoattack almost as Mutch as seeing a Uber Tank Running at Tilt speed around me thinking hes helping himsellf.

Some classes may need to Get behind for Max dmg But this CounterStrike Style of MMO jackFoolery needs to stop. Its really Kills the Mood of a Good Fight when Both sides look like a Pair of Flaming Rabbits in heat trying to be on top.

Your trolling doesn't help me much. I'm not looking to jump and bunnyhop like a fool, I'm just looking to back away and swing when needed, sidestep while taking a swing when needed, and whatnot. I stand by Funcom's goal in AoC in making the game as "real life/real time" as possible, and this would help them futher achieve that goal.

You must be referring to World of Warcraft when you talk about bunny hoppers and heat-seeking everything. This isn't WoW.

Get a mouse with at least 3 buttons, then bind your keys.  Now let this thread fall into the abyss.

If you can't bind your keys yet in Conan, then you are SOL.

And then what takes the place of the mouse functions?

My logitech mouse has like 8 keys. You don't need to bind them ingame either. You can bind them out of game to activate 1-3 easily.

Just grab one for like 50 bucks and you're good to go. Then you can do all of it with just your mouse and WSAD.

Well said Talemire , I hate when people say crap like that

Hmmm, now you're greasin the skillet bro. Do you have a link to a picture of the mouse you're referring to?

I disagree.

If this game changes into circle strafing idiocy it'd be terrible.

Starfing idiocy is an oxymoron if I've ever heard one. Have you ever seen sword fighters fight? Whether it's fencing or arena dueling, people move around. They do not stand in one place and swing their sword like there's no tomorrow. It's strategy to get at your enemy from a certain angle. I'm assuming (only assuming) you play a caster class.

Here's how I see issues like this (take this to heart): If someone is willing to think the extra step to make gameplay (or anything in that matter) more efficient, it's your job to 1 up him and create a counterstyle more efficient for you. That's a (one) definition of a champion.
