WASD for movement, tho I keep the right mouse button down almost constantly for steering.

Mostly click on the skills with the mouse but like to keep my most-used attacks/skills on the 2 and 3 keys for easy punching in combat.

fowlero · Apr 09, 2008, 10:10 AM // 10:10

WASD then the QE for movement, 1-5 then RFV for skills.

Mouse for targetting and this extra side button its got is on cancel action.

Works for me

Rushin Roulette · Apr 09, 2008, 10:10 AM // 10:10

WASD for movement (mouse only incase I think im lagging to test),1-8 and mouse klick for skills.

Targeting is set up on my mouse buttons (left and right of the mouse Buttons 4 and 5) If im on an offensive build I use nearest foe and next foe,

If its a defensive/support character I change the targeting to nearest ally and next ally.

Darkobra · Apr 09, 2008, 10:10 AM // 10:10

I press R to autorun, S to stop when I need to and hold right click to turn left or right. Unless I'm in battle, which I use WASD for.

For skills, I press 1,2,3,4 and click skills 5-8. That way I can chain skills far faster than key skipping.

Agyar · Apr 09, 2008, 10:14 AM // 10:14

I play naked.

PvP: Mouse to move and 1-6yh for skills. F1-4 for weapon sets.
PvE: WASD and clicking on skills for max lazyness.

Krill · Apr 09, 2008, 10:16 AM // 10:16

WASD = move
q = skill 1
2 = skill 2
e = skill 3
r = skill 4
f = skill 5
c = skill 6
v = skill 7
x = skill 8
t = target
tab = next
caps lock = previous
shift = show enemies
ctrl = target nearest
z = target priority
mouse 4 = target self
mouse 5 = "do it"
mouse wheel left = weapon set 1
mouse wheel right = weapon set 2

I have started clicking to move in pvp because of the aforementioned pathing issues too.

1-8 skills (pretty much every game has this out of the box, not point in changing)
WASD / arrows for movement (again, compatibility with all other games)
F1 to F8 for party members (about the only thing i customized)

i make *heavy* use of "R" key. I also make *heavy* use of click-to-move. both are really covenient way to move in instances and they basically free both hands for period of time (so i can chat with people, manage inventory - iding, salvaging ...)

More importatnly, it allows me to turn to casual/multitasking mode. i.e. i can take a bite or two of dinner while character moves to click-to-more, read some forums, or talk to bro when he is hanging around and all that without really interrupting my gameplay.

Hell, i can click some distant area and just chill a bit, basically taking short break.

This was one of things that GW did greatly and was actually better that wow system of "sit here and hold w key for 10 minutes straight if you want to get anywhere" where i ended up putting heavy object on keyboard (fists at whole keyboard at first, weight at w key later.) and i couldn't event alt-tab or i would stop moving.

No-one takes click to move from me. If anyone thought i was raging because of ursan, well, wait and see what happens if click-to-move gets removed. I might even start a thread.

Aye, seems like anet wants to take annoying and outright stupid things from wow and other standard mmos and put them to GW.

It's not like it really matters to me, I made decision not to buy GW2 based on fist info we got, and it seems like better and better decision every time i learn something new about it.

Z-Merc gaming Keyboard - Left hand on BIG Senior-citizen sized buttons.

Right hand on mouse, usually click on spells.

ShoGunTheOne · Apr 09, 2008, 10:41 AM // 10:41

movement: sort of a mix between mouse+WASD
Skills: 1,2,3 + mouse clicking(because my fingers stay on the WASD possition if i push 1,2,3)

Stolen Souls · Apr 09, 2008, 10:44 AM // 10:44

WASD to move.

Unless I am monking, I generally click on my skills to use them. If I'm monking I click on the party window and use 1-8.

I use the extra buttons on my mouse to target next and previous.

quickmonty · Apr 09, 2008, 10:50 AM // 10:50

I'm wired directly into my computer. I think it, and it happens.

Medic · Apr 09, 2008, 11:17 AM // 11:17

I use Ursan, so I just mash the keyboard with my palms until something happens.

Witchblade · Apr 09, 2008, 11:22 AM // 11:22

default keys+a few added, remove flags etc

(moving with the mouse? wow that sucks ^^ good riddance if they do that)

I think there are technical reasons why click-to-move cannot be implemented in a world with interactive obstacles. Imagine if the only way to get from point A to B would be to jump over object C, roll under overhang D, dance a triple axel and salchow around marauding enemy E, milk dolyak F and churn its milk into butter, and then use said butter to slide over lavapit G. How on earth are you going to write an AI that does all that? I mean, GW1 falls over itself pathfinding on a trivial static 2D world.

Click to move or autorun and change with mouse.

Skills are in a 4x2 grid layout on my screen and are assigned:
a z e r
q s d f

Gli · Apr 09, 2008, 11:50 AM // 11:50

I do 99% of my movement by mouse, the exceptions being walking backwards/strafing in the rare situations that require it, and engaging autorun (after which I still steer by mouse. I also perform enemy selection by mouse when tabbing/c-spacing isn't convenient to pick priority targets fast enough. And, of course I put down hero flags with mouse-clicks, because as far as I'm aware, there's no other way.

For everything else, I use keys. I won't bother you guys with my keyboard lay-out, but I have few keys not assigned to some action or other.

GW2 having or not having mouse movement will be make or break for me. If I can't, I won't buy, no matter how brilliant a game it might turn out to be. I'm not going to bitch about it or anything, I'll just find another game to play, and bitch about that on its own particular fan forums.
