Space is more like the action key: it will pick up a targetted item as well

C - picks closest enemy target
F - same as tab?

Shrapnel_Magnet · Feb 25, 2005, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Without Alt... my world in Guild Wars would be a sad existence... lol, I almost always have it held down when I've moving, :P sucks when I try to Tab to an enemy though... (I set TAB to Target Closest Player cause it made more sense to me)

In towns, Alt is a life saver as well... I hear so many people asking where this NPC is or that NPC is and I always try to spread the good word of the Alt key.

I'm done now...

Bgnome · Feb 25, 2005, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Shift+click - select target but take no action

Also

x - Turns character 180 degrees.

jaynan · Feb 26, 2005, 03:56 AM // 03:56

you can also double tap 'S' (probably down arrow too) to turn around

( Spam insert...Shout out to DATD! How ya doin? Long time no see.)
Anyway, as a W/Me, I was wanting to tap some life and mana befor runnin in for the fatal blow. I was wondering how you attack with spells from a distance without running up to your target?. I was having a heck of a time with that one.
In other games it is usually holding the shift key, what's it for GW?
Also, is there a weapon switch? (perhaps I am sounding stupid here, hope not.)

Terphin · Feb 26, 2005, 01:14 PM // 13:14

Not sure about the distance use of spells...

But for switching weapons you can define them on the bottom left of the screen. And then to switch its..

F1
F2
F3
F4

Also some other ctrl + click ones

ctrl + click on health = displays how much health you have to the team
ctrl + click on energy = displays how much energy you have to the team
ctrl + click on a skill = tells team what skill you are using

F10 is logout isn't it ?

Also from something I can remember that I think F5 upwards can give you different graphic options... like put the graphics back to mesh or something like that... can someone confirm this for me ?

Holy dog biscuits! Mslynx! Hey!
When you attack with spells, your character attacks from the longest distance possible so don't worry, he/she shouldn't approach too near.

Thank you for your help, guys.

Devil's Dictionary · Mar 01, 2005, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Okay, I have finally scrambled the list from the google translation of the korean website. Please tell me what you think.

Bgnome · Mar 01, 2005, 08:10 PM // 20:10

the list is missing the ALT key for NPCs/signs in towns and outposts

may also want to mention (ctrl?)+shift+f12 for dev mode

That's not going to be there for the release of the game, so don't worry too much about adding it.

Draken · Mar 01, 2005, 09:23 PM // 21:23

CTRL+Shift+LClick Call Target (select)

This means the names of enemies pop up so you can select them but when you select them it doesnt call the target right???

To call the target you have selected you then have to press CTRL+Space , correct me if im wrong.

Bgnome · Mar 01, 2005, 09:58 PM // 21:58

the ctrl+click calls the target. the shift part just makes it so that you do not take an action, like attack or something. so if i held ctrl+shift+clicked a name of a mob, i would call it but stand there and not do anything else.

if you have a target mob selected, such as by using C, F, Tab, or shift+click, then you would call it and start attacking by hitting ctrl+space.

Shrapnel_Magnet · Mar 01, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Personally, I just press "Ctrl (hold) + Spacebar" to call a targeted enemy... :P works a lot faster than Mr. Clicky... and yes, Holding ALT is missing from the list. It displays all the NPC's a few other things, why taking out the player names to clear up the clutter on screen.

Dah, just read that someone posted the Ctrl+Spacebar... lol, oops... but yeah it's a good key-combo.

William of Orange · Mar 10, 2005, 04:32 AM // 04:32

Thank Heavens for that "/" command list; last BWE I spent my time just having to type random things in and seeing what happened. But I suppose curiousity is the source of some of this world's greatest inventions...

... If you didn't notice, I'm somewhat compensating for the fact that to most of the people here I'm still considered a nOOb. I try though, and that's all that counts

Canis Lupus · Mar 10, 2005, 07:47 AM // 07:47

is there an AFK? i tried the /afk and just ended up sitting.... and still got invites to partys.

Guo Jia · Mar 10, 2005, 10:48 AM // 10:48

press "p" for a small map window with a cursor which points in the direction you are looking and moves when you move. Very handy while PvE'ing.
