"ONOZ Someone doesn't like something about God....I mean GW2"

"NO! U!"
"YER RONG!"
"U RETARD"
"GROW UP"
"L2P NOOB!"

Effin fanbois never cease to amaze.

Stop with the fanboi hysteria already.  It's getting old, like your continuous harping on it.  Some people agree with the OP, even if we don't feel it's game breaking for us personally.  I guess you aren't seeing those posts since they don't give you a reason to bitch 'til your breathless.

 

Oh, sorry, did I strike a nerve?

OP Posted a legitimate concern. He got his ass reemed by people for it, and yet you call me out for calling them out?

Why don't you call the people out who were rude to him personally.

I only called out the behavior, I never addressed anyone in particular.

 

Why is it OK to call someone a Retard for questioning GW2 but it's not OK to question somone who calls someone a retard?

Still not out of breath yet?  No surprise.

Touche......

oh wait......

Edit

OK, I am sorry, you are correct, I see the error of my ways. I am all done now, i feel better I got that out.

Why in hells bells would they not impliment keybinds for 1-5?  Tons of mmo players play that way.  I thought this was available in GW1, because I had listened to a few podcasts and the hosts mentioned they used the number keys. 

I dont play that way.  I use the keyboard to move around and use the mouse to tap abilities and spells but alienating those that dont is really weird to me.  I wouldnt think this would be a very hard thing to impliment in comparison to everything else.  I find it kind of hard to believe. 

i think there are no modifiers because you wont need extra skillbars. I dont have any problem with no modifiers because of 2 reasons: 1) i never use them, find them too much hassle, personally. 2) i only use from 1 through 5 with left hand, then i activate  everything else from 6 to 9,0,-,= and all upper or extra skillbars with mouse clicks so i dont have to look at the keyboard to accurately hit the key i want and losing my target from sight

Why is anyone giving the guy a hard time. If a person is comfortable with a certain style of playing games, and has been for years, it's not much to ask for a minor tweek to a UI. Unless Anet has a specific reason not to have it, what is the harm for some keybinds?

Hang in there OP, if anyone ever messed with my comfort zone, it would be a deal breaker for me too. You're not crazy.

I suspect it's because the OP is getting onto the GW2 forums (which are full of fans) and broadcasting a dealbreaker, of which he is probably aware is fairly minor to most players. It's an issue that he could have kept to himself, or brought up in a less dramatic manner. That's my guess.

Now we're making excuses for this type of behavior?

I don't think it's an excuse; I'm just taking a stab at the situation, because someone asked. It was meant to be pretty unbaised, as I am fairly neutral on the matter.

This is what differentiates the fanboys from constructive criticism.  All of you that are saying it's still in beta, or that it's no big deal, are the same players that criticized Swtor for not having basic features.  It's a very basic feature in almost all PC games across genres.

There is a valid reason to worry because GW1 doesn't allow modifiers either.

It's ok to criticize the game you love.  You will make it better when the devs listen.

I am now going to admit something very embarrassing, thanks to the OP's inspiration......

I use my left hand for attacks 1-5

I am.....omg.....I'm going to say it.....I am a.....a......a clicker on 6 - =

There.  I said it.  Please be gentle.

You can rebind keys as much as you want. You can even have alternate key binds. The issue is that as of the latest info we had, you couldn't use modifiers (ctr,alt,shift) with keybinds. You can bind the 1-10 to any keys you want, but you can't bind 6-10 to the 1-5 keys with a modifier, (ctr+1, ctr+2, etc...)

I would think this will change for launch, but at the very least we can indeed rebind keys to our liking.

This is why I love my SteelSeries Merc Stealth... I can remap all of that outside the game.

I've played MANY Betas where you could not change the bind of keys.  Anyone smart enough and desperate enough to want their own keys would simply write a macro to change the functions of certain keys on the keyboard while playing said game anyways.

I'm a lefty.  So how do you think I feel about keys not being able to be changed?  Yea it sucks... I use the numpad mostly... BUT I find solutions to my problems.  I don't bitch about issues that are not really issues.

Like others have said, it's Beta.  I think making it so you can customize your key bindings is last on their list of stuff to get done.

Sorry, but an awful lot of GW2 "fans" remind me of the Vanboys that infested forums before Vanguard was released.

Gah, double post.

Is 'Did I strike a nerve?' the new 'U mad?' that won't get you banned from the forum or something?

Must be a hipster thing

The OP's concern doesn't bother me (I'll just adjust to how the game plays, that's what I always do), but I can understand it.  But why should someone have to dish out cash to change how they play games?  It sounds to me like the OP is a pretty serious gamer who's style fits with the typical MMO game, why should they now have to change how they do things or buy new equipment?  I can see why that could be a game breaker for someone.

HAHAHAHA!!!!

I'm a clicker for everything!  My left hand controls movement, my right hand the mouse.  I find it too hard to use WSAD and 1-5 at the same time so I click.

OK gamers!  Let's hear it! lol

I'd do something like this:

1 = E

2, 3, 4, 5 = 2 ,3, 4, 5

6 (heal) - Mouse Side Button

7, 8, 9 (Utility Skills) - Z, X, C

0 (Elite) - ` or 1

Change Weapons - R

Target Next Foe - Q

Dodge - Shift or another Mouse Button

That'll do me nicely.

I also agree with this.

I'm hoping they change their stance on this (and I honestly don't see why they would be against it tbh). So far, to my knowledge, Anet has not came out and said they won't implement this, it just isn't in the current beta build. It could be an oversight, or a feature, or it could just be that Anet plans to change that in the future but wants to focus on more pressing mechanics first.

I think the point's been made pretty loudly already. Lets hope they listen to it.
