Seriously I really don't know what was thinking the FT in charge of the GUI but the fact that you can't bind more than 12 keys seriously hinders my playstyle. As a WoW player I'm used to having numerous key binds and I can handle DAO's micro in REAL TIME. I cannot bind all my action bar slots which is very frustrating since I'd really like to play fluidly with all 4 characters without pausing. This game is already easy enough at least if I could play in real time maybe it would be more challenging for my second playthrough.

So PLEASE fix this it's only common sense...

"As a Wow player.."



There's your problem. First step to solving a problem is admitting you have one. Wrong game, kid.

[Zarenthar]

I'm not a "kid"... Nerd. Are we back in stone age? I mean last game I couldn't bind every possible action was... ummm, wait I don't remember because it was probably on SNES.

[Zarenthar]

First: I'm hardly a kid I'm 27 and I have a daughter.



Second: I finished DAO at nightmare on my first playthrough.



Third: I didn't say I couldn't, I said that I'd want my whole arsenal at hand without having to click at all. Clicking is horribly inefficient especially when multi boxing 4 characters at once in real time.



Please refrain from turning this thread into useless WoW bashing.

This game isn't WoW and god help I don't want it to be a 'mini real-time WoW' game. Played the game for 3 years and main-tanked everything up to H25 Anub'arak, and I'd do it all over again, but its time for a change of pace...



Its not meant to be played completely in real-time. If you're having difficulty playing, its not because of lack of keybindings...its because you're not playing it right. Learn how to use the pausing system, issuing commands and using the Tactics system.

Can't anyone just respond to a post without flying off the handle because someone says they play WoW?

The OP is entirely correct. There is no reason not to allow the rebinding of every single key in the game. I would argue that the game should even let us bind multiple commands to the same key so we can trigger more than one thing at a time.

I'd never use such a feature (I'd rather there be a pause button in the UI so I could play entirely with a mouse), but there's no reason to force us to use a particular key for a particular feature. Games do this only to reduce the customer service burden (when people call for help, it's easier to help them if you know what their control scheme is. Since most of us never call customer support, I don't think we should pay the price to make CS easier.

The OP is entirely correct. Unlimited keybinding would be superior.

[catofnine]

I actually wouldn't mind some extra keybinds =/. I'm not sure why the OP brought in WoW, but he's not making an unreasonable request. I prefer to keep all of my actions on the keyboard as well because of speed and ergonomic reasons. I only use the mouse to character turn/mouse look in most of my games. Just a simple allowance to map all slots in the current ui would do.

[EJ42]

I really wish the posters in these forums could get over their ADD long enough to actually respond to the real point of a post.

Get over yourselves. The OP doesn't like that you can't bind everything to keys. It's his right, and I tend to agree with him. I'd like to be able to bind the camera movement to my middle mouse button instead of just the right button, but I can't.

So you hate WoW. Get over it. Also, SwishiestB0g, I particularly liked how you ignored the fact that pokemaughan had nothing meaningful to add other than a direct insult to the OP.

I really wish some of your parents would have taken heed of the age rating on the game, and refused to buy it for you.

[Zarenthar]

Thanks for the support guys.



Don't get me wrong though I love tactical pausing. I enjoyed it a LOT it was indeed a nice change of pace, but now that I completed the game once I wanted to try a more fast pace approach with minimal pausing and disabled tactics to micro in real time eveything that's happening on the screen. Believe me that's not possible with 10 louzy binds. Maybe not pausing is easy with full tactics setup and a melee PC but I like magic =P

[Elanareon]

Pause? geez... Besides didn't you know that in WoW there was a delay for using keybinds? like .5 secs i think, so they said clicking was actually better than keybinds.

I know, i know, i was dumbfounded that they even bothered with that! Stupid elitist jerks...

First of all, I'd like to begin with how mature this was...

And second of all, you say that it would be more difficult for you if you could play in real time while fluidly switching characters with endless keybinds. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to have to play in real time while fluidly switching characters with limited keybinds? Maybe you should quit whining like a small child. By the way, this is coming from an 18 year old without a kid, and I don't even know what a SNES is.

If you're that desperate, get a Logitech keyboard with 15 or more programmable keys. It's about the best solution going atm and likely the best you'll ever see.



If you think you have it bad, imagine the people playing it on a console.



As for the WoW thing, I don't care if someone plays WoW, that doesn't matter, but comparing the 2 is like apples and oranges, which makes no sense. DA:O wasn't meant to be played like WoW or even an FPS (can't believe I saw that comparison on a forum last week).



I wouldn't get your hopes up of EA/Bioware making changes to it.

I think you misunderstand the request.

[jivebeaver]

if it really bothers you, AutoHotkey can be programmed to simulate mouse clicks at coordinates with the press of a key to basically make hotkeys. Sure you have to set it up but it works pretty well

[Loetek]

There actually have been quite a few complaints about this.



Dont know what to tell you bud.



I'm a clicker... Was in WoW... Was in Ultima Online... Was in EQ1 & 2... I fell right inline with this game.

Wait you could do key bindings on ps 1,2,3, sega ganisis, that sega console that came after, xbox, 360, N64, gamecube, and the WII? Man and to think I have been playing games wrong...

[Jay Kidd]

I support the OP. Was a Wow player too. Nothing to be ashamed about. That is that.

In my first 100 hours of DAO plays I've never used any hotkey except Space and "/".

But after lvl 20 or so, my speedbar filled up(low screen resolution, can't expand it further). Then I started to wondering what if DAO has the some keybinding features like Wow had.

I mean, seriously, is it a SIN to compare DAO to Wow?

[Zzinged]

I also agree with the OP. More keybindings would be great. Just more SLOTS in general would be great. There's hardly enough room for all my spells/skills/consumables with the default hotbars.

[Damar Stiehl]

Ex-Warlock here, so what. I would LOVE me some extra keybinds.

Even with AutoHotkey to help you, using a mouse simulation move to accomplish a spellcast is SLOW and error prone. In fact, any serious AutoHotkey user would tell you that define a keybinding ingame and using AutoHotkey to combine and remap them is the surefire way to go.

[CID-78]

more slots would be very usefull bringing up the talent/spell sheet to active a talent is very distracting from the combat. every thing should fit in the slots below. and it doesn't especially for mages. there is plenty of room

I thought everybody switched the directions to the buttons and the buttons to the directions. Was it just me and Zaren, then? :innocent:

Apparently not.  What is definitely missing in this game is some sort of keybind for "Target Next" because having to click to attack is really flipping lame.
