Hey ^^

I dont have GW2 now but im gonna get it at some point.

I just have a question related to the combat.

All GW2 vids i saw, have this single buttonbar at the bottom.

The question in general is, is there more, to play the piano, or just the well known 10 buttons to forge your fate ?

I stopped playing TSW because of that.

Currently im playing SWTOR because of the incredible dynamic PvP, dynamic in terms of your own decision to choose from a whole book of moves, stims, pots and other stacking efects.

Me fears a little, that GW2 cannot offer these things to me, so tell me please, is there more then a single buttonbar ?

cheers ^^

Your first five skills are fixed based on your weapon(s).

The others can be swapped in and out at will as you unlock them.

It is fairly limited compared to many other games.  You should wait for a free trial before buying if that is a major concern.

I should add that you are likely to experiement and change your traits depending on the situation, but that's a very passive system.

Thanks for your reply.

Well ok, i take it as a yes, just that single buttom bar.

Honestly i cannot get over that, i want dozends of keybinds.

It came over me some days ago. "watch some vids and look at it".

The Age of Conan combat system comes very close to what i favorise.

Too bad its medevil theme and has no obvious factions or land to defend/conquer and not that mutch players.

GW2 next year, i like B2P ^^

Honestly I think ArenaNet wanted to create a minimal use of keybinds in order to be a viable competetive game for casuals aswell. I've been playing wow for 3 years, and I think gw2 requires a higher skill-cap and is based on making hard desicions rather than spam your binds once they're off cooldown. I believe you'll enjoy the game so much the binds won't really matter to you. 

I bought razer naga epic and k90 keyboard with tons of macros and binds, I still use most of them in gw2, just for different matters.

Hmmm this is kind of concerning me too now. I've seen a couple videos too but it didnt register that you just dont have more buttons than that.

I havent played GW2 yet, looking to try it soon. The thing I have to compare to is WoW, where I get bored with the lower level characters because there just arent enough buttons to make the fights interesting. I guess this is all the more reason to see if I can get atrial for GW2 before buying it.

Otherwise it is sounding pretty cool, with things like the flexibility of not being as gear-dependent and (yeah I'm vain lol) the nice character looks customization etc...

have you noticed other things that you are iffy about regarding GW2?

Nope any song you play will be based on those 10 notes.  You can make different songs, though.  It will always be based around those 10 notes though.

That's just the first of your disappointments... tehe ...
